Any Guesses?

We are having an ultrasound on Thursday and I am excited to take a peek at this little person inside of me! I know the purpose of ultrasounds are really to make sure the baby is developing correctly, BUT I am super excited to find out if this little person is a HE person or a SHE person. What is your guess?



Let me give you some facts that might sway your decision:
  • Jon thinks it is a girl
  • I have absolutely NO idea. I was certain that Asher was a girl, and obviously I was wrong on that one, so I have lost a bit of my baby gender guessing confidence :) But I will be thrilled either way. It would be fun to have two boys so close together, and I've always thought I'd have two boys first, but it would be wonderful to have a little girl. Part of me thinks it is a boy.
  • I've been WAY more sick with this one, which some people say that if you are sick with one and not sick with the other then they must be different genders. Different hormones flowing through you or something like that.
  • I've been craving meat, oranges, and chocolate. This is significant because I once heard an old wives tale that said if you crave meat you are having a boy, but if you crave citrus or sweets you are having a girl. I've done an unofficial poll over the last few years and this rule seems to be true about 90% of the time. I craved turkey sandwiches and broccoli with Asher, but this time I crave everything--- so I am baffled!
  • Also our neighborhood is jinxed. All the families who have children under the age of 10 either have ALL girls or ALL boys. There is one family with 4 boys, another with 4 girls, one with 3 boys, one with 3 girls (and who just found out she is going to have another girl in August) and another family with 2 girls and who are going to have another baby any day now-- but they aren't finding out till it is born-- so maybe they will break the jinx. So we might be fated to have all boys while we live in this neighborhood!
So there are some clues to help you make your guess-- check back in on Thursday to find out if you guessed right! Or if we really love you, like you are family or something, you will probably get a call first :)

My guess is a girl! I was so stinkin' sick with Mckenna until like 5 1/2 months. Guess we'll find out soon!

I'm guessing girl. I don't know how/why people don't find out the sex at the ultrasound. It's a surprise then just like it would be at birth, but this way you get to prepare for it by buying gender appropriate things. Seriously, who wants all green and yellow of everything? Of course then you wouldn't have to worry about the poop changing the color of everything... hmmm... Maybe they are smart after all... :)
