Eskamo, I love your bump!
Shazzie and Melko - do you have any "feelings" about whether you're having a boy or a girl? Shazzie, I think you did the baking soda + pee old wives' tale and it said boy, right? Do you think it's right??
Eskamo, did you think you were having a boy or a girl before you found out??

That's crazy - and awesome! What were the other wives' tales?
I can't wait to see if you're right! Although I'm not-so-secretly rooting for a girl, based on your name choices alone!
Also, at first I totally thought this was in response to my boy or girl question. I was VERY CONFUSED.

You know how it is, I don't want to hope for one or the other. However, I'll feel bad if we never have a boy, so that DH can pass on the last name. Right now there's only 1 nephew of ours to pass it on, so I know he would be relieved if this is a boy.
On the other hand, I just love our name choices for a girl so much, I just want to use them! haha
Holy cow - all of his brothers and sisters and there's only one nephew?! I know how you feel about your girls names. 1) I lurve them, and 2) we have a girls name that I will be so upset if I never get to use.
wellll...DH has 5 sisters, and 3 brothers. So, only the brothers will carry on the last name.
BIL 1 is married..no kids yet...we wonder if they're really going to have kids or not.
BIL 2 is married with 3 kids....they have 1 boy. they're done...he was "snipped"
BIL 3 is 20 years old and who the eff knows what he's doing with his life. His last girl friend left him to join a cult in upstate new york.
I've felt like it's a boy, from very early on. The baking soda test said boy, the Chinese gender chart is unclear because I'm not sure if I conceived on Dec. 31 or Jan. 1. Given that we only had "one shot" on the day I ovulated, I've heard boy swimmers are faster, so if we conceived so quickly, it could be a boy.
It's a 50/50 chance either way, and I'll be happy with a boy or a girl. I'd prefer to have a boy first so if we have a girl she has a big brother (I love having a big brother and DH loves being a big brother). Only time will tell!
