Gender Bender

Monday is the BIG ultrasound and we're going to find out if we're having a boy or girl.

In the meantime, we invite our readers to use all the old wives tales to GUESS the sex. M. and I present THE EVIDENCE:


Signs and Symptoms
  • sick from week 7-? Got sicker around 10 weeks and it let up a bit around 14 but she's still really sick when hungry and occasionally still all day
  • Looks thinner than before pg, execpt in stomach
  • Butt is rounder...used to be flat
  • Started showing a bit around 12 weeks but hasn't popped as of 20 weeks
  • Wanted meat early on (but was mostly veg before)
  • Mostly great complexion with a few breakouts on the jaw line
  • Very tired still (but is an RN with 12 hr shifts)
  • Craved peaches and other fruit in 1st tri and loves spicy food and grapefruit now
  • Carrying high? Still bigger top tummy than bottom
  • Maybe started feeling baby around 13 weeks a few times, definately by 16 weeks - usually isn't too active but the other morning moved constantly.
  • Coworker dangled silver chain over my belly and it swung...BACK AND FORTH (boy)
  • Baby heartrates: 175 (9w 4d); 148 (13w 4d); 141-160 (17w 4d)
  • Chinese gender chart says girl
  • Conception timing: 1 IVI 2 nights prior to ovulation; 1 IUI day before ovulation; 1 IVI night of ovulation

I vote boy too, but you know, I am biased. ;-)

I'm guessing girl. Sasha has a lot of same wive's tale symptoms that I had/have, so I'll go with girl, since we finally have confirmation of our baby's sex.

My gut says boy (have NO idea why!) but I have awful instincts so it is most certainly a girl.

I know nothing about old wives tales and guessing the gender, so that's no help to me, but put me down in the boy camp. Just because I know so many people pregnant with girls right now. It has to even out somewhere!

My scientific guess is: You have about a 50% chance of having a girl...

Ha ha

Enjoy your ultrasound...however it turns out!

I'm getting my vote in...

I think it's a girl.

No reason. Just do. I've got a 50% chance of being wrong, though.
