Survey says . . .

"So strangely enough, everyone on my side of the family who is willing to commit says that BITB is going to be a girl. They just "know it", "feel it", or their "intuition tells" them it's a girl.

My favorite is that my step-dad Jim is convinced, CONVINCED, BITB is a girl. He says he knew Jackson would be a boy and now knows this baby will be a girl. We ladies (my mom and sister and I) asked him how he's so sure . . . "I just know" he says.

"How do you know?" we ask.

"My intuition."

And I thought only women had intuition . . . He even proved his point by giving me two cute, more girl-y than not, baby outfits as birthday presents at the celebration my family gave me while I was in town.

My dad wont commit saying that either one will be a blessing, and I haven't had a chance to ask my brother. Ross just wont say (though he teases that he thinks it's a boy because we're again having trouble deciding on a boy's name). I have yet to poll Ross's side of the family, but now that I'm back in Tacoma I can show them all the ultrasound as ask their opinion."

Before we had Sophie, there was a woman at my office to could predict gender with amazing accuracy based on the heartbeat. I asked my doc about her theory and he gave me a long answer that basically said she had a 51% chance of being right with her theory. That's better than 50/50, but she ALWAYS got it right. So, using her theory, I have to agree with Jim's intuition! :)
Much love to you all!

I think now that you've had one boy, statistically, you're more likely to have a boy. At least, I read that somewhere. Something about the sperm.

Anyhoo... I think it's going to be a boy!!
