Gender Watch 2010: Is it a Boy or a Girl?

In fifteen days I get to find out this baby’s gender.  It’s a good thing I have some distractions between now and then (party! vacation!) because the suspense is about to keeeeeel me.  For seriouslies. I know some people don’t think it’s important to know the baby’s gender before he or she is born, but as previously discussed, those people are sadistic nutjobs, ranking only *slightly* above those who do not choose a name until the child is born.  (Hmm, and I know someone who is BOTH kinds of CRAZY!  Can you guess who??)

Here’s what “evidence” I have to go on for my gender guesses:

Girl – because I was sick for a long time like I was with Sophie (I am 18 weeks, and this is the first week I have not had to take the Zofran every day!)

Boy – because I am craving cola, which I did with Joshua.  Bye Bye, Mountain Dew, hello Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper.  Yellow is out, brown is in. Um, wait, did I totally revert to a potty training post there?

*Ahem*

Fifteen days.  Fifteen days.  In fifteen days I will know what kind of  baby clothes I need to buy (gave both sets of 0-6 away loooong ago!), whether I’m in for more draaa-maa or more train track (ok, that’s not fair, Sophie loved trains.  But dangit we gave all those away TOO!!), whether as I so delicately put on my facebook status a few days ago, this baby has a “pee-pee” or a “hoo-hoo” ( I know, I ooooze class!)

And I. CAN’T. WAIT!

So here’s the belly in question – what do YOU think?

    I voted for a girl just because their clothes are prettier!

  2. emily says:

    For the good of the blog, I hope it’s a girl.

  3. Becky says:

    I need more information. Do you have the linea nigra or whatever it’s called? If so, I’m going with girl. :)

  4. Mackenzie says:

    My latina ladies in the office say it has to do with the shape of the belly. Round basketball bellies = boys, flat, wider bellies = girls. And hoo hoo and pee pee are fine, the U/S tech is thinking hotdog or hamburger in their head, so you’re actually klassy compared to that.

  5. Paul (aka Mr. Mommysnacks) says:

    I voted for a boy. And i am with you – there is no logical reason to wait to find out the gender.

  6. I’m SO GLAD that Mr. Mommy Snacks weighed in on this one. I really need to see a front angle shot to make the prediction. I will see you tomorrow night at #ultimatemoms and then come back to share with the world what gender of child you are baking.

  7. Crystal says:

    Ooo I hope it is a boy. Then I can pack up some of our ten gazillion thomas trains and send them to you! 8)

  8. I voted boy and really I have no clue. I just am sad that you are so far away (okay not that far) and I can’t rub your baby belly. (why yes I do rub baby bellies!)

    I’m hoping for a girl, I’d hate to see your father cry!

    It better be twin girls

    Girl – nausea and selfish reasons. I’m hoping I’m having a girl, too – because my older daughter who is 11 may run away and join a convent and never speak to us again if it is another boy. LOL She has an older brother that is 13 and a younger brother that is 1. She feels outnumbered. :)

    Would be cool if we could both have some little pint-size blog-diva material after delivery, eh?

  12. I’m going with a girl.

  13. Celia says:

    Other.

  14. AmazingGreis says:

    One of the cutest bellies ever! I’m going with girl!

  15. Jana B. says:

    You are carrying low so I am going with girl! And apparently I am one of those sadistic people who didn’t find out and didn’t name the baby til she was here…we had names picked out for both girl and boy! LOL!! :)

  16. Briana says:

    I think its a boy! :) and you are an adorable preggo! :)

  17. Sky says:

    Girl!! I can’t wait to find out!
