Got my first prediction of gender from a stranger

According to the woman at the bagel place, I'm having a boy. Her
hypothesis is based on looking like I'm carrying a basketball, rather
than getting big all over. I am carrying about the same as I did with
Thomas, so who knows...

It's been an annoying day - so I need to post about something
completely trivial! ;-)

Apparently i'm haing a girl as i've been pretty non-phased about the
whole thing, cruisey etc.

Yet i'm also carrying a basketball.

It's funny to hear the theories of others

One of my sisters is convinced I'm having a girl. Of course, I'm only
11 weeks now, and she hasn't actually seen me in person since the
conception. Then again, all of my sisters made comments about buying
dresses for the baby, with an afterthought of "Oh, I guess it could be
a boy, too"--I'm one of 5 sisters and no brothers, so we just
automatically think of babies as girls...

Another friend made a completely arbitrary statement that he thought I
was having a boy. He then suggested that our friends start a poll,
with better odds going against whatever the doctor says we're going to
have. In other words, when we find out (or try to--if the baby
cooperates when we have the chance, we want to know), they they should
bet against what the doctor said. We have some amusing friends....

So far, I seem to refer to the baby as "he", but I don't think that
means anything at all. Probably more a reflection of the fact that
chocolate doesn't sit well with me right now...

Trivial is good

People haven't been guessing for me yet cos I just look chubby I think
the few people who have said "girl" only say it cos *they* think it would be
neat for me to have 2 of each - lol.

Be glad they're saying boy, that's a compliment. If people say girl it
means you look like crap. I got that with Charlotte all the time. And
actually with Lewis. I had an ugly boy pregnancy with him.

Hey !
I know lots of lovely looking preg women who have gone on to have girls
and plenty of the reverse too ! I think your bias is showing

Really cos I don't know many. There's a reason for the saying "girls steal
their mother's looks".

I'd be quite happy with either actually, for various reasons.

I was big with Hunter and really big with Luke. We knew with Luke so there
was no guessing but Hunter was a surprise. I think people mostly guessed
boy. I was pretty far along before I looked pregnant enough to guess. I
wasn't basketball shaped though, more like a blimp in there ;-)

I've never heard that but it is pretty scary if it is true. I looked like
hell during both my pregnancies...looking even worse would not be good, lol.

Oh, tell them where to get off !

Absolutely.
Although I will be surprised if I see a doodle - I am now certain this
bump is a girl in disguise
