@jessiejo17: Awww what a fun way to announce the gender! I wish we would've planned something like that, but I just made the appointment Friday, so not much time to plan. I'll probably just call my parents and text my friends. I think I'll bring in some cupcakes to work to announce it to my coworkers. I hope our babies give us good potty shots!

@mrskc: I had a dream about the baby last night, it's all that I think about...especially with finding out this week!
We'll probably take a picture with DH standing behind me with his arms around me and on my belly holding a pair of shoes that correspond with baby's gender to text to friends, post on facebook, etc. For our parents I'm thinking about picking up some pink or blue cookies and delivering them so that we can see their faces. We'll see if I want to follow through with that tomorrow lol.

@Running Elley: Ah the shoe thing sounds really cute. I'm thinking about getting a onsie and taking a photo for our facebook announcement.

@mrskc: I think that's a great idea! If it's a girl we may just use a onesie too because we already have some pink striped ones (oops!!).

@Running Elley: Haha it will be here soon, I can't wait to hear the official news I'll give the guess of a little girl!

@Running Elley: I know! Mine isn't until 4 PM! It's only 9:15. I'm guessing girl for you since that's what the guess was at your NT scan.
All my family is guessing boy, and all my coworkers say girl. gahh I really don't have any clue.

@mrskc: I'm going to go look at your bump picture on WB again and then I will guess for you Have you done any gender quizzes online? I did a bunch last night just for fun! You should do one and report back!
@jessiejo17: Fingers crossed it goes by fast!
I am seriously going to be thrilled either way. I'm guessing girl but I'd be so excited if the doctor said boy, I know DH would be through the moon!

-Carrying high = girl; carrying low = boy: Girl
-140+ bpm = girl; 140 or less = boy: Girl
-Craving sweets = girl; craving sour = boy: Boy
-Chinese gender chart: Boy
http://www.parenting.com/chinese-gender-predictor
-breaking out = girl; great skin = boy: Girl
-morning sickness = girl; little to no morning sickness = boy: Girl
-craving fruit = girl; craving meat & cheese = boy: Girl
-DH or SO put on weight = Girl: Girl
Most of mine point to girl!

Funny all my test say a girl, but I think I"m having a boy and have from the beginning! I would be thrilled with a girl, but this would be the first boy and I know my family LOVE it! So either way we will be thrilled! I'll let you guys know tomorrow morning, the only ones I can tell until our party!! haha

@jessiejo17: I'm so glad that your appt is in the morning! When my best friend was pregnant all of the signs pointed to girl for her too and her baby is very very much boy!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@Running Elley: I will be happy either way for sure! Girl would be nice for all the free clothes since I have 4 nieces and a Goddaughter, but givign my dad his first grandson would be so exciting! He is long overdue for a male family member (besides his son-in-laws that is!)

@jessiejo17: I totally know what you mean, we're in the same position but opposite (all boys, no girls at all). By this time tomorrow we'll know

@jessiejo17: We have all girls in our family too, so I think that's why my family is kind of hoping for a boy. I would love to give my parents their first grandson and beat my sister to it. Of course we'll be thrilled if it turns out to be a girl. I'm going to guess boy for you!

@Running Elley: I'm leaving work in 2 hours! less than 3 hours until my appointment! Are you getting more and more excited? I'm starting to feel nervous that they won't be able to tell us what we're having or that they'll be wrong. I'm only 16w5d. I don't know how accurate they are at 16 weeks.

@mrskc: I'm leaving work in 47 minutes!!! Eeeeeeeeee. Then I'll go home, change, pick up DH and head on over. I'm REALLY nervous. My stomach is just going crazy with nerves. At my NT scan I asked the tech when they can get gender and be pretty sure about it and she said that it's obvious by 15 weeks. The only reason that people usually find out gender later than that is because it's just done at the anatomy scan which isn't scheduled until later. I think you should get a definite answer

@Running Elley: Ok that makes me feel a little better. Gosh the suspense is killing me! I'll be looking for your update tonight.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@mrskc: Ahhhh that's nuts you have the same situation, I hope you get a boy too

My accupuncturist said Boy based on Pulse
So... it seems like boy, just barely!

@Running Elley: I'm still in shock...but your initial instinct was spot on!!
I'm team green and wishing Ihad a feeling either way. I don't want to wait til October to find out, but I love the idea of finding out when he or she is born. But I'll join the fun anyway.
