what the sex of your baby was?
We do NOT want to know, and tell all who ask that we're just hoping for "happy and healthy".
However last night in bed we were discussing what things each of us would teach our child be it boy or girl, and we both stopped, looked at each other, and said "it's a girl." We don't know how how, or why, but we just KNOW. Various relatives have made guesses based on how much weight I've gained (not as much as expected, but still too much to wear my old stuff for the most part) and they're all about 50/50, we viewed the sonogram and my doctor was careful to make sure not to show us anything, and pronounced my baby healthy and 100% normal. Needless to say, we both bawled our eyes out at the viewing. It's a mighty potent moment in your lives...
So did you just guess, did you have a feeling, or did you just take the easy way out?
I've been less active here due to some emotional roller-coaster issues, but my doctor recommended that I try to do some normal stuff to keep me from getting too emotional one way or the other. I gave him a brief idea of this place and he told me to get back to writing, so be prepared for some new stuff soon...:-)

I battled our couch a few times too, although my lowest moment was a long hard cry over running out of butter.
Have a boy and a girl...then had the wiener tied off...ultrasounds on both but could never tell...the genitals where not getting a clear shot from the sound waves so no prediction.
But...the Dr. with my daughter was sure he knew it was another boy...through all the prenatal exams including all the way through delivery. Out comes my daughter facing down...he holds her for a second covering the genitals and says..."any last guesses"? Then proclaims after he rolls her over..."I'll be damned...beautiful little girl". Guess he was going by heartbeat/rate when he made his prediction.
We didn't know for either one.
With my first, everyone said it was a boy. Unfortunately I lost him at 22 weeks.
So, the next one ... I carried similarly ... everyone saying again it was a boy. I painted the baby's room a great blue-lilac and bought boys clothes in navy & red ... and the doctor says ... Mrs. C ... you have a daughter. A Daughter??? I looked at my husband ... saying ... what about the Boy?? We had only 2 boys names picked out, with no girl names! LOL
Of course, with the next baby .... I just figured I'd stay with the idea it was a boy. But, I made sure we had both a girl's name and a boy's name picked out, just in case. We had a son.
Sigh ... when I was pregnant ... I felt so damn sexy!! (loved having a busty-bust!)
Ah yes, the boobs. I was already a 36c before pregnancy and they grew substantially during. hubby was enthralled and would have paid the doc to keep them that way if he could.
