Who's reading the_infernal_optimist (194):
I have my "big" ultrasound Tuesday morning, and hopefully they'll be able to tell me which kid's clothes I can stop saving. ;-)

I thought it would be fun to kind of take a poll. Is mini-Infernal #3 another boy, which could be cool since he'd be about 20 months younger than linebacker, or another girl (which is what I'm hoping for because the clothes are cuter and my daughter was a much easier baby -- I have "boy = hard/colic" hardwired into my brain still, which I know is untrue...but it's there).

I'll take a healthy baby however it falls gender-wise. My daughter swears it's going to be a boy (a dark-haired one, at that). The old ring on a string test says girl (G-B-G, if anyone's curious...which would make it right 3 of 3 if I am having a girl).

Guesses/predictions? You have until Tuesday late morning to squeeze them in (my appointment is at 8:30 EST, so I should be back by 10:30 or so, depending on traffic). :-D

    Hmm...my first gut feeling when you showed us the ultrasound was "boy."  Now I'm kind of on the fence.

    The weird thing is whenever I've been certain of a baby's gender in the past, I've always been right.  Just coincidence but maybe not? ;)  I'm not certain every time, and I'm not certain now so don't count on me!  But my first gut feeling, like I said, was a boy, so I wanna see how that pans out!

    Oh I get to make the first guess here! You already know I think it's a boy, but that's my official guess now. I'm really curious to see if I'm right. And if I am, I hope this baby is easier than the last one :-P Not all boys are difficult....hopefully anyway!

    *edited: okay I made the second guess....Nyt beat me!

    I'm going with girl.  Just a gut instinct, but so far you seem far too healthy to be carrying a boy.  I do hope for a healthy baby most of all.

    Will only predict a surprise, and she will be so like you....ha.

    (no idea, but can't wait to find out)

    I'll say boy, 7lbs 6oz, 18 1/2 inches.  Colic...ewww! I remember that...ewww! Don't baby girls suffer from colic?
    I hope little Infernette is healthy and colic-free whichever sex it is!

    I'm going with girl. That's what you want the most, so that's what I think you'll get :-)

    [fingers crossed]

    Girl.  Because I have daughters, and I like girls better.  Nothing against Linebacker Baby, of course.  ;)

    Most important is that the baby should be healthy - doesn't matter boy or girl.
     
    Be careful what you wish for  - you may get it. I will leave it at that..
  • skald said on Sep 06, 2008....
    It's either a boy or a girl lol I say girl this time. you may prove me wrong. 
  • queenparanoia said on Sep 06, 2008....

    Girl.....girl......girl....:-D
  • botoni said on Sep 06, 2008....
    I'm totally undecided.  My bet is that the newest member will be as adorable as his/her sister and brother.
  • dailyachesandpains said on Sep 06, 2008....
    I'm leaning toward a girl!  HOWEVER...
    I wished for a boy and got a girl...same thing with all my friends that wanted girls and got boys!  I only wished a gender because there are SO many girls in my family, it would have been nice to have a boy around!

    Can't wait to find out!

    there's an old wive's trick to this infernal. hold a whole hard boiled egg in your mouth for three minutes, then blow your nose and tell me the color of your snot.
     
    it won't help me to determine the sex of your baby, i just wanna laugh while you're doing it! :-P
  • MissMimi said on Sep 06, 2008....
