Boy or girl?
Well, what’ll it be? On Saturday, July 17 at 9 a.m. thereabouts, we hope to find out if we’re having a little boy or a little girl.
I have no intuition at all as to what it will be! Last time, I dreamed several times about a blonde little boy. And what do ya know, I have one!
But this time, I am not feeling a strong pull either way.
Shane had a dream about a baby boy, and I did, too, except I know for a fact that it was my friend’s baby (who is due later this month).
My symptoms:
- Not a trace of nausea at any point. I did have some food aversions early in the first trimester — didn’t want to look at raw meats, and certain food smells were bad. And if I took one bite too many, I’d have to get rid of it ASAP without swallowing. With J, I had a few days of mild nausea.
- My skin and hair look(ed) lousy, but it’s improving. My skin had quite a bit of breakouts during the first tri, but it’s much clearer now. This *could* coincide with weaning J, since that also affects hormones. My hair still looks crazy, but I’m not loving the haircut I have right now anyway so maybe that’s part of it.
- Food cravings? Can’t say anything in particular. Nothing out of the ordinary for things I usually like to have (sweets AND salty things, sometimes at the same time).
- I’m carrying low once again, but come on — I’m only 17 weeks, I’m SUPPOSED to be carrying low right now. The fundal height is still lower than my belly button.
So really, I dunno. Lots of things are similar to when I was pregnant with Johnny, in terms of feeling fine. The skin issue very well could have been a combo of pregnancy + nursing hormones.
Here is a belly pic if that helps make your guess.

You’re so cute.
We’re not finding out until after mid-August, most probably, which feels like it will be a forever-wait!
Love the picture! I have no guess either way, I hope it’s a girl so you can have one of each! I didn’t have any feelings about mine this time around either, I think that’s because I wanted a boy so bad I couldn’t think about what it actually was. My acne was and still is horrible so I think that breaks the wives tales that if it’s a girl she steals your beauty, or else maybe I’ll just have one very handsome boy?
I think your picture is adorable though. I’m gonna go with girl just because that’s what I want you to have. he he.
I’m guessing boy =-)
I want you to have a girl, but I have a feeling you’re going to have a boy. So that’s my official guess. Eep! I can’t wait until we find out!
I’m gonna guess boy. Idk why, I just have that feeling….vee shall see
Beautiful picture!! Because you chose to wear pink, and you took a picture on the same day by chance, I am going to guess that the little bean is a girl! Bridget would be tickled of course too, they would only be about 10 months apart! Can’t wait to hear what the baby is!!!
Cute! I’m thinking girl. Mostly because of your skin irritations bc I had that a lot when I was pregnant with Lib. I haven’t this time but this babe very well could be a girl too! So who knows.
GIRL because dresses and bows are fun!
Hehe it wasn’t quite “chance” why I was wearing pink. I will explain more after my ultrasound
Ooh and my date is sometime mid-December, so they’d be maybe 7ish!
I’m gonna say boy. Just my guess!
Although I’d love for you to have a little girl- they’re so fun. For what it’s worth, I’ve been crazy sick both times, with horrible breakouts as well, and the way I carried Lucy made everyone say “boy.”
