Still no idea if baby is a boy or girl?

[Kontessa]

Welcome to the club! It is starting to make me wonder though. LOL Any predictions or feeling you have? Hubby thinks baby is a boy and he has been right with all 4 kids before soooooooo. I have used baby boy cloths waiting. Yup, baby will be in a lots of blue for a little while even if baby is a girl! I will beg friends to go thrift shopping for me!


I do not dare guess as each time I have been WRONG. LOL

[Mom2ManyBlessings]

No guesses here, either. EVERYONE seems to want it to be a girl (even all the kids), but the HB is low, so we're leaning BOY at the moment. Although, it's no longer posterior, and all 3 boys were sunny-side up - girls weren't. But my mind changes daily...

A boy would be easier, b/c we have all the boy stuff accessible, and I've gotten rid of most of my girly toddler toys (well, my sister has them, so I could probably convince her to give them back...). But girls are so much fun to dress, and all those cute dipes to show off under dresses...

We know we are having a girl but since I am not having a shower, she will be in alot of blue stuff from our son. Anything that doesn't have the word "Boy" on it is fair game at our house! Part of me wishes we didn't find out her gender but my curiosity got the best of me!

[pixiesmommy]

I'm convinced it's a boy, but I was convinced Pixie was a boy too, and everyone else was convinced she was a girl.
DH keeps saying it's a boy, but I asked if he really had a feeling about it and he said no, just wishful thinking! Pixie is DYING for a little sister, of course.

Everything here is blue, yellow, green, white, red, or orange. I have a few little pink things that I saved from Pixie, but VERY few. I have one pink dipe that was sent to me by mistake that the seller told me to keep and I wondered if I should take that as a sign? The rest are yellow, turqouise, etc. and I have a few with cute embroidery or prints, like a hippo one.

The last u/s we had, the tech kept spinning the screen away and said we couldn't view the hands because they were "busy" (I posted about this) and I guess my feeling was, if it was so obvious, then it MUST be a boy, but I know that's not entirely true. What was so obvious to him (if it was a girl) would probably not have been obvious to us.

I didn't find out the first two times. First time around, I really had no clue. Convinced myself it was probably a boy, but only because I wanted a girl and I didn't want to be disappointed if it was a boy, kwim.

Second time, I was absolutely convinced it was a boy, but she came out a girl and I was shocked. But not at all disappointed. Just shocked because I was so convinced.

This time I was even more convinced I was having a boy and I told dh I had to find out ahead of time because I really wanted a boy this go around and I was so convinced. I was afraid I'd be disappointed if the babe came out a girl. I'm glad I found out, because it seems I'm terrible with my intuition and always get it wrong. And it took me about a week to adjust to and love the idea of having another girl.

[Hezzy]

I switch back and forth as to what I think it is. I'm carrying completely upfront, which is apparently a sign of a boy to many people, especially in DP's family. However, my mother came to a shower with them this past weekend and when everyone started talking about how I'm having a boy because it's all upfront, she said, that's funny, because I carried exactly like that with both of my pregnancies and had 2 girls! So now I have no idea.

I kind of want a girl. But I know if I have a boy, I'll be completely excited. It's been fun not knowing, but I'm ready to find out!

[GinaRae]

I have been assuming it's another boy.

Hubby says it's probably a girl because that would be the least convenient for us, so Murphy's Law.

Everyone tells us it will be a boy because we have three already, but we know there's still a 50% chance at a girl since hubby has only had one boy child himself.

The heartbeat (150s - 160s) says it's probably more girl than boy, but then again the HB has shown a little lower sometimes too (140s - 150s) which is where my boys were.

I've ALWAYS thought I was having a girl with all my kids but they were all boys. And now I think I am having a boy. So COULD it be a girl? Or was it always just girl lust and this time is self preservation.

It's best that I expect a boy, you know? Not that having a boy any other time left me depressed or upset, but you just never know when it's your fourth non-girl I guess!

So I chose to not find out and yet it's begun to enter the pure torture area! It's HARD sticking to your guns and not finding out and it's hard being chipper about that for 40 weeks!

I didn't know with my first two because they either had their legs closed or the cord was between their legs during u/s. But I don't remember feeling this tortured. Annoyed maybe, but not tortured!

Okay, deep breath. That said, it will be SO wonderful to finally have that baby on my chest and find out what it is and call out the baby's name since we've finally chosen them. I have that romantic notion to hold on to.

[Rikki Jean]

No idea here. I've kind of been thinking girl, but it may just be wishful thinking since we can't come up with a boy name.

HB has been high, so that could be a girl sign; then again, I think maybe DS's was high too. I was carrying more like the classic girl sterotype, but it's been more like a boy in the last couple of months. So, who knows!

heather, we are carrying kind of similarly (though i think you are a little lower, and i am a little wider) and i get a lot of that, too. but i think it's so misogynistic because i always get the "girls steal your looks and you look good" line. it irritates me to no end. joan (me and heather's midwife, for those who don't know) says i'm carrying the way i am because i have strong abs, and i'm inclined to agree with her.

i also flip back and forth constantly. i had STRONG girl vibes early but in the second tri i became convinced it was a boy, and now i barely care and don't think about it. baby's the first sex-less person i've known and it's kind of cool. s/he's just a person to me!

i think other people's guesses for me are like 60-40% boy-girl, but that's a lot of wishful thinking in my opinion because my dad's family is super old school. my dad always refers to the baby as "he" and it drives me absolutely mad.

[renaissanceed]

I'm guessing a boy over here, mostly because this pregnancy has been so different from the last one with DD and because of heart rate.

However, having just finally sorted thru the last of the baby clothes in the basement yesterday, it would be a shame not to use all that cute girly clothing again

[sorteep]

I have been consciously thinking girl but I keep dreaming boy.. my dreams have been accurate with the two boys so I am guessing boy again... Evan was saying Girl as was DH adn Jay is hoping for another "little dude"..

Evan was funny the other day he made up this imaginary friend that he said was a baby that he was "feeding milk from my boob" to (complete with sound effects! and was referring to the "friend" as "Baby Dean" !! now keep in mind we have NOT ever verbally said this name to anyone IRL but eachother (DH and I) It si NOT a common name!! I swear the boy is psychic.. really.. so that clinched it for me... baby boy and if so... Dean!

we will all see soon enough

Gina my DH said the same thing!! he is sure it will eb a girl B/C that would be more complicated for us!

[GooeyRN]

I am *guessing* that I am having a boy. I just feel different from last time. We shall see!

[StacieM]

You sound exactly like me...I've also been wrong every time. LOL

I have boy clothes left over from my son, but I have no idea where all our girl clothes are. Maybe I gave them all away. I don't even have the boy clothes washed. I do know where they are though. Like you, I'm going to ask family to go out and buy a few outfits once baby comes and I will probably buy a pack or two of neutrals soon. I'm certain my MIL will run out and get an outfit once we know what baby is, so I'm not too worried about not having a going home outfit.

I have NO CLUE what this baby is. My mind changed all the time back and forth too. So I gave up. I'm carrying like I did with my son, hr is low, but I don't have any clue what it was with my girls....it's lower than what my son's was at. This is also the biggest I've ever measured so if it is a girl, I'm thinking it's one BIG girl compared to the others. But just the fact that I was thinking boy most the time made me figure it would be a girl since I've been wrong 4 times so far. Either I'll continue my streak or I'll finally get one right. Either way I'll be happy. Can't wait to find out though.

I'm doing the same thing the other way around. I was thinking boy since this pregancy is so different from DD's, but I'm having girl dreams. So, who knows? I love playing old wives' tales games...the guessing for nine months is fun for us.

[Valerieg]

I haven't found out yet either...and totally enjoy guessing at it! Everyone (including me) thinks that it is probably another girl. Some parts of the pregnancy have been the same, some different, and I imagine some of the differences are just due to it being a second pregnancy!

OWTs have been innacurate with the other 24 grandchildren in DH's family. My SILs assure me that they couldn't base sex on the way they were carrying, differences in pregnancies, heart rate, nothing. Some have mostly girls, others mostly boys, and the rest all boys. All but one of DH's siblings has four kids. My MIL had seven and tells me nothing clued her in at all! So I try not to rely on any of that.

But intuition says girl. Lack of seeing a penis on the u/s (silly tech showed me the "money shot") indicates girl. And it seems everyone keeps calling it "she" whenever we talk. So we'll see.

Most people I know will be shocked if I have a boy. I'll be equally ecstatic regardless. I just want a healthy baby!

[Kontessa]

Well I am going risk being wrong yet again and say Girl because when I do my hypno babies and they ask you to hold baby and talk to baby I feel like baby is a girl. But as I am always wrong....... LOL

I think it would be worse to WANT to know and then not be able to know. I am sticking with not knowing, as I could beg it out of a few people, but Hubby thinks we should wait till the brith and have DD tell us. Sooooooo.
Remember when I got the ultra sound and the sex was put in a envelope that I gave to a friend? She has told just about everyone that would listen. LOL Some of my friends have choosen not to know as they do not want to slip around me. I love them all the more for that by the way, that takes will power! LOL Other friends that know are avoiding me. Still, no one has yet to slip!

Like others here though, I feel like I am ready to know. Ready to be done. LOL Lots more time left I keep telling myself as I need that time to get ready still and yet it would not be soooo hard if I knew what to dress baby as. LOL

[AKmomof2+1inNov]

I still don't know although everyone seems to think boy. My DH is convinced that it's a boy and my pregnancy is very similar to DS's, but my sister has 4 boys and all her pregnancies are different. I would say boy just based on DOC since I was using OPTs. I almost want a girl just so everyone is wrong! But honestly, I don't care either way and it is much easier to not buy things I don't need-like more clothes.

I think I'm more curious to see what some of you ladies are having then the gender of my own!

[brooklyn_warbler]

i only dream of girls. and it is always the same girl. i've also had two dreams where i was TOLD the baby was a boy, but in the end of the dream i change the baby's diaper and she is a girl.

the one exception in my whole eight months so far is a dream about a month ago where i had a little eskimo baby (chunky, dark-skinned, tons of black hair, and looked nothing like me or my husband!), that i carried around in a pouch, and that was a boy. it was a very breastfeeding-centric dream.

I had very similar type of dreams early on. They were breastfeeding-centric and it was a child nothing like my ethnicity. I thought more along the hispanic lines, but when you said eskimo, I could clearly see baby from that dream in my mind. Maybe even Native American. I don't know. All my kids, hubby, and I are fair, blonde and blue eyed. Well, my middle son has darker hair, but not like that.

It felt like a girl, but she wasn't mine, ever.

[kgrfcharlton]

I think it's a girl & have actually picked up several girls items at goodwill & the such, but until that baby comes out???

I did the same thing w/ds. I thought he was a boy & he was.

W/my 1st - I had no clue.
