    I felt from day 1 that we were having a boy, and I was right! I refused to admit to anyone other than DH that I thought it was a boy, though I also had a dream a few weeks before our anatomy scan that we were having a boy (in the dream we used our new video monitor to do an at-home ultra sound and saw very clearly that it was a boy!), and I have been told by mamas that if you have a dream, that's what you'll have!

    Lo1 - I knew it was a boy before I even tested and got a BFP!

    Lo2 - I had NO idea. None. It was really exciting to find out at the anatomy scan.

    I felt I was having a girl literally from the second that second line showed up. I was right!

    @loki: I had a very strong feeling that we were having a girl. I dreamed about her often. When she was born, I almost couldn't believe I was right.

    Also, my acupuncturist would feel my pulses, and said it was a girl. She then proceeded to tell me that she had never guessed wrong in her 25 years of practice. So much for being Team Green!

    @Vegmama: haha that's so funny. my massage therapist guessed boy and she's the ONLY person who has said boy to me... she said it was just because she's only had patients with three girls in all her years of doing prenatal massage. but i think that statistically ups my chances for a girl haha!

    I was TG for both and with LO1, I flip flopped all the way through pregnancy as to what sex I thought the baby was. I really had no clue and it was a girl!

    With LO2, I knew from the moment I got a positive line on the stick that it was another girl, and I was right!

    I didn't really have a strong feeling but almost everyone was sure I was having a boy and they were right!

    I didn't have the slightest clue. That was until two weeks before the anatomy scan. I woke up and just had the strongest feeling it was a girl. Even though I had had dreams of holding a baby boy. On the way to the scan a country song about a fathers love for his daughter was playing on the radio and I told DH that it was a sign this baby was a girl. Sure enough she was!!!

    I was convinced it was a girl for the first LO but had a boy. This time, I was thinking boy and I just found out today it is a GIRL!

    My husband was convinced before we were even expecting that she would be a girl, and he was right!

    I was so convinced I was having a boy that I almost started buying boy clothes before I remembered I didn't actually *know* I was having a boy. Good thing, because it was a girl!

    My husband thought she was a girl the whole time though.

    Yes and no. For the first week or 2 after my bfp I thought it was a girl but then my gut feeling changed and I spent most of my pregnancy convinced it was a boy, even after my anatomy scan said girl. I didn't actually believe it until she was in my arms
