Guessing game

My doctor said that at our next appointment--tomorrow--we should be able to find out if we're having a boy or a girl. Alex and I are so excited and have been dying of curiosity. (And there are so many funny old wives' tales!) So, want to take a little poll to see if we can guess? I'd love to hear your predictions -- some people have awesome intuition!

We'll have the real answer tomorrow, eeps! xoxo

  4. Weather it's a boy or a girl, I think makes no difference. The gift is in the baby itself. I agree with Emily, either way you'll be a proud mother of a beautiful child! Congrats!

  5. oh my gosh!!! i'm so excited for you, joanna. i have terrible intuition about these things, so i'm not even going to wager a guess.

    i can't wait until we find out the sex(es). at our appointment this week we find out how many we're having (we had three embryos transferred). based on how sick i am, it feels like there are about a hundred in there, but i'm hoping for twins!!!

  13. so very fun! can't wait to hear what you guys find out:) when i had my son, i just knew it was a boy, so...wondering if you have any intuitions yourself? well, i say boy for you, that's my thought from cape cod!

    ReplyDelete

  14. Ah! The poll is dead even. Too funny. Well let it be noted I voted boy. I had vivid dreams with my first two kids about their gender and both times I was right. No dream with the third. Have fun finding out!! Exciting time for you.

  23. Just don't forget that whatever they say it's not 100% accurate - and can be less accurate if they tell you it's a girl!

    A good friend of mine was told last spring she was having a girl! There was a lot of pink purchased, and many MANY adorbale dresses. The baby was born, wrapped quickly in a blanket and set on her chest for 15 or so minutes. When it came time to cut the cord they unwrapped their beautiful Thea Josephina and low and behold, there were boy parts down there! Turns out it was really Torin Joseph...

  24. Oh, we cannot wait to hear the news!!!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Good for you guys! I always think it makes no sense to "wait to be surprised." People still do that! I know I'll want all the time I can get to buy clothes and furniture for the appropriate gender! Good luck :)

    ReplyDelete

  34. How funny that it is almost 50/50. so much for intuition, statistics win ;)

    I'm really excited for you guys, and can't wait to hear the news (what is kind of weird becease I never met you but who cares)

    ReplyDelete

  35. I'm feeling a girl but my gender determination skills have been off as of late. In any case, "healthy" should be the only desired outcome and everything else is just icing on the cake!

    ReplyDelete

  36. How exciting!!! Hopefully you'll be able to pick up some pink or blue things soon :)

    ReplyDelete

  38. I voted girl, but then i remembered that duck you posted about and thought boy...

    ReplyDelete

  39. Congratulations on whatever your little child is! :) I'm 6 weeks preggo and was reading today about the amnio test you can have done at 16 weeks that counts chromosones and lets you in on your baby's secret 4 weeks early. Did you guys consider doing that? I know it's incredibly invasive (and looks PAINFUL) so I haven't decided yet if I want to do it. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete

  41. Wow this is so exciting! I just voted (girl) and it came up as 333 votes for a boy and 329 votes for a girl... isn't that amazing that it's turned out 50% either way! xxxx

    ReplyDelete

  42. That's so exciting! Why did you decide to find out the sex? I'm just curious, I know some people are adamant about waiting and being surprised and some wouldn't even think of not finding out!

    ReplyDelete

  43. I sense a boy!

    (Amazing how close the vote is, though. Ah, well, I guess it's just 50/50 isn't it?)

    ReplyDelete

  44. I really think a sweet little boy! How exciting

    ReplyDelete

  45. ashley, congratulations! getting an amnio actually does come with real risks, so i wouldn't do it unless there was a true medical need. but i know what you mean about it being hard to wait!! :)

    ReplyDelete

  55. Congratulations Joanna and Alex! This is terrific news! Good luck tomorrow! I'm pregnant too, but we decided not to find out whether it's a boy or a girl. Only three more months of mysterious joy for us to go. :)

  64. I guessed a girl cause I have two and I LOVE girls! Boys are awesome, too, of course, and I often wonder what it would be like to have a boy in the family!

    We didn't find out the first time, but we did the second time around, and it was so much fun planning for Anastasia throughout the pregnancy...

    Good luck!

  74. Cute story: My friend Heather and her husband Dave wanted to know the sex of their baby -- their first child -- but didn't want to find out in the doctor's office. So, instead of blurting it out then and there, Heather asked the nurse to write down the sex of the baby on a piece of paper. Later that evening, over dinner, Heather got out the piece of paper, and she read it to Dave. It said, "boy." They were both overjoyed! (Dave had secretly been hoping for a boy.)

    Best of luck with your appointment!

    xo.

  75. eep - this is so exciting. I said boy... but I've already changed my mind... and clearly the jury is split.

    Thank you so much for sharing in this exciting time with your (equally excited) readers.

    ReplyDelete

  76. how exciting!
    My husband and I waited till birth in order to be surprised, which was awesome, but I about died of curiosity!

    Let us know the results!!

  77. Tomorrow will be the most exciting day of your pregnancy besides actually having the baby. For my first pregnancy, they couldn't tell what the baby was until I was 6 or 7 months because she wouldn't cooperate. The second we could tell right away because he was letting it "all hang out." So exciting!

    To Ashley Taylor: My husband and I found out with our 20-week ultrasound that there was a problem with the baby, and he might have a genetic condition with a 5% survival rate past age one. BUT, our doctors didn't suggest the amniocentesis, because it is so risky and the chance of miscarriage because of it was 1 in 3. Definitely do your research before considering the amnio, and best of luck!

    HI Joanna, I follow you on Smitten (GLSD) and have been reading your blog for a while. I'm so happy and excited for you as I know you really want a baby, so I'm wishing and praying that a healthy baby is #1. Having a son first and then a daughter guessing a boy first for you too :) Can't wait till tomorrow to find out! Wishing you and Alex a New Year filled w/ much joy, health and happiness!

    ReplyDelete

  90. I love that the poll is split 50/50. I have a boy feeling!

    ReplyDelete

  91. BTW - I also think you are having a boy, BUT, I had a girl and am now expecting a boy, and my parent's elderly neighbor tells me, "First a daughter, then a son, then the whole world has begun." Good luck tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete

  92. I really really really think that your baby is going to be a little girl! I have been right with my cousins pregnancies (the ones that I have guessed on anyway) and I feel confident with my intution, but I know that whatever it is, you two will be super SUPER happy!
    Good Luck tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete

  93. So excited for you either way, but I'm guessing boy : )

  97. Congrats!

    when i had my little one, we held out till the last moment to find out if it's a boy or a girl. my husband was really sweet, he said to me:"life doesn't give you many good surprises, let this be one..." and it was a beautiful girl :)

    ReplyDelete

  98. Speaking of babies, I couldn't help but forward a link to my friend's website (http://hapticlab.com/).

    She makes Soft-Maps, what she calls "quilted maps of cities and neighborhoods that represent someone's unique place in the world." How sweet for a little one to be wrapped in a map of where they're growing up?

    All the best to you and Alex,
    Katie
