  • Melko, what pillow did you get? I was browsing on Amazon and there are so many mixed reviews out there, and some of them are hella-expensive! I am just starting to sleep really poorly as of this week, I imagine it'll only get worse...

    I swear by my Snoogle. It's kinda expensive but (to me) soo worth it. My sleep improved drastically once I started using it. :)

    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??

  • I thought fro day one it was a girl. Call it mothers intuition or a lucky guess, but I said since we found out I was pregnant it was a girl. Also, 4/5 of the old wives tales predicted girl.

    I think boy. From the beginning. I also just had a dream the other night that we were at the scan, and it was a boy. I did the baking soda and pee and all I remember is that it didn't fizz. I baby remember what it means though. A lot of the other things point to boy, buy still some for girl.

    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! ;)

    I think its a snoogle.

    Also, at first I totally thought this was in response to my boy or girl question. I was VERY CONFUSED.

    Oh, let's see. The heart rate was always really high, like 165ish. The Chinese gender chart said girl, the ring on a string and "carrying high" both said girl. The only one that I can remember that said boy was my cravings. I am so craving sour things.

    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.

    Eskamo, did you think you were having a boy or a girl before you found out??

    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!
