guess slackerbaby's gender

This morning, I had my 20 week ultrasound. Everything looked great! John and I also did something that we did not do with our first two babies...we found out the gender. I was very adamant about it with E and A...but John has always wanted to find out. Add to that two eager big sisters who are also *dying* to know if they are going to have a baby brother or sister, and well, we found out!

So...what do you think I'm having? Here's some information to help you make your decision.
  • The heartbeat at the ultrasound today was 146. With E and A, it was in the 160s.
  • According to the Chinese Gender calendar, it's a girl. It was correct with E and incorrect with A.
  • I haven't had any food aversions. As for cravings, I have been craving bread and eggs. No cravings with either A or E.
  • I didn't have any morning sickness. I didn't have morning sickness with A or E.
  • Finally, here's what I looked like at approximately the same time with each pregnancy. From left to right: Pregnant with E (2004), with A (2006), with SlackerBaby (2010). [Side note: You can totally tell I started off my pregnancy with A about 10-15 pounds heavier than this one or with E. Whoa tree trunk arms!]

 


If there's another old wives' tale that you use to base your guess on, let me know and I'll answer. Except for what color Draino turns when I pee in it. Because, I'm not going to do that.

Also, I found this article on gender distribution fascinating. It totally debunks the if you have two of one gender, it's nearly impossible to have the other gender myth.

Happy guessing!

Oh Katie... that is so mean that you are leaving all of us blogger followers hanging. I'm going with a boy though for the thrill of the guess. Please let us know soon. So glad you are feeling and looking great.

I have no idea. None at all. But I am so happy everything's going so well.

I'm going for boy - almost all my friends that have two of the same gender flip for the third. So exciting!

I'm not guessing since I know, but had to tell you, I love the pics.

If it wouldn't be TMI, I would ask when you tried for the little one (ie, what was the getting busy day)? If it was on or after the day of ovulation, it's a boy. If it was several days before ovulation, it's a girl. The theory is that male swimmers are faster. Or so they say. :)

Aunt Ki-Ki is right. The boys are faster but the girls are hardier!!! I have to admit I saw the next blog first so I know the gender but CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Love,

Marguerite

P.S. Also, I know a great name!
