Reader Poll: Boy or Girl?
On Wednesday, Aaron and I will go for our 18 week ultrasound to actually see Spawn. We have our fingers crossed that baby won’t get too shy and will show us “the goods.”
At first, based on a several pieces of information, I was certain this baby was a girl. Now, I’m thinking, this may be a boy. I realize that in just a few short days we’ll (hopefully) have our answer.
Until then, I thought it would be fun to weigh the information and get my readers’ input.
Here is what I know:
- Heartbeat was in the 160s at our 10 week checkup.
- Heartbeat was in the 140s at our 15 week checkup.
- With Miss Sassy Pants, I couldn’t eat any sort of chicken that was in whole pieces. It completely grossed me out.
- With the Animal, I could eat anything.
- Currently, I can eat anything.
- With Miss Sassy Pants, I wanted rootbeer and sub sandwiches so bad that I had that as my meal at least 2x a week.
- With the Animal, I wanted fruit juices and Sweet Tarts.
- Currently, I can eat anything and want anything. I haven’t had a traditional soda since our pregnancy test came back positive.
- I’ve only gained 2 pounds this pregnancy. With #1, I ended up gaining 60. With #2, it was pretty close. I started this pregnancy about 10 pounds overweight.
- As for the “mother’s instinct” that many say I could rely on, it was girl for the longest time. Now, I’m not feeling one way or the other.
- We’ve had a girl’s name picked out since we were pregnant with the Animal. Only last week did we decide on a boy’s name.
So, play along with me. What do you think the results will be? Use the reader poll below to vote and leave me a comment!
