Is that a boy or a girl??? I just don’t know! Not finding out your baby’s gender is oh so much fun (I know…most of my friends think we’re crazy) but it’s really a blast. So, what is my mother’s intuition telling me…I think it’s a girl. Let me break down my totally scientific, expert pieces of information that made me come to this conclusion…
1. The poll I put on my blog is basically 50/50 so that’s no help (trust me, I know it says boy a few more times than girl, but my mom voted for boy at least 8 times…don’t lie mom…I know you did)
2. My sweet friends like Erika have commented regularly that I haven’t gained as much weight in my face this time around (or neck or butt…)…meaning it has to be the opposite sex then last time.
3. At Kensington’s well-visit, 8 nurses lined up and looked at my stomach, then one nurse said on the count of three they had to verbally say the sex of my baby…all 8 said boy on three…all 8.
4. My entire family thinks it’s a boy. But if you recall, last time, 10 out of 13 said boy…and we have a girl.
5. My mom is really helpful because she says it’s a boy…however, she said Kensington was a boy, I was a boy, my brother Sean was a boy and my cousin Brandon was a boy…basically my mom thinks all women are having boys.
6. When I was at Kroger yesterday, the lady checking me out said that I was carrying rather high, which means it’s a boy. However, the lady that works at the popcorn store I frequent says I’m carrying rather high, which means it’s a girl.
7. I threw up with Kensington until week 21 and this baby until week 19…both a long time to be sick when pregnant.
8. Dawn who works for us, says that girls suck the life out of their pregnant mommies and boys make their mommies glow. Based on point number 7, I’m thinking girl because I sure wasn’t glowing those 19 weeks.
9. Andrew says it’s a girl. At night, he prays for Kensington and _____ (like I would actually type her name). The last time around, he prayed every night for Kensington. I kept telling him he might want to throw a prayer out for baby boy but he said it was a girl…I was pregnant with Kensington…and he was right.
10. I just found out yesterday that my 5th friend is having a boy this spring. That’s FIVE boys coming to McKinney, TX next spring…surely God is going to start balancing those boys out with some girls…beginning with Shull baby girl number 2???? It’s just hard for me to believe that me and 5 friends would all have boys around the same time.
So, that’s my reasoning…I know…very scientific! I guess we’ll have to just wait one more month to find out if I’m right or not. I have two bags in the baby’s nursery…one for a little girl and one for a little boy. (Both bags with their receipts for easy exchanges and/or returns). Which bag will I be pulling from on January 18????? Only God (and yes, Dr. Riegel) know. Stay tuned to find out!

My vote is still boy… I know that there are lots of boys arriving soon, but I think you're just that kind of a trend-setter. 🙂 I CAN NOT WAIT to meet your sweet little guy (or girl, I guess) ha!
Aubrey says
So exciting! I am so excited to find out too. Of course, I voted girl. But I am kind of partial to girls…in a completely non-lesbian way. 🙂
Jeni says
oh man, the suspense is totally getting to me. I think BOY but I'm hardly ever right so maybe it is little girl number 2. No matter what it will be one beautiful, blessed, loved baby!!! Can't wait to meet him/her.
abby says
Here's some more science for you… I think its another girl. But I am ALWAYS wrong, so it must be a BOY! Although I love that Andrew already prays for HER by name. 🙂 And Daddys do always seem to know…
This is why YOU SHOULD JUST FIND OUT!

I can't remember if I voted girl or boy… but either way… praying for a safe and healthy delivery and baby.
Can't wait to see pics and find out the name you chose! 😉

I'll have to stick Karigan and my mom on it. Neither have ever been wrong about dates or gender. Either way, I'm thrilled and can't wait!
brandonandmandycox says
Brandon and I say it's a girl too! We decided that since Erika and Loree are both having boys, yours has to be a girl. It only makes sense right? 🙂
The New Family says
I'm still thinking boy. I DID NOT glow with Jaxson though, so who knows!
Hilary says
I am impressed that you guys can wait. My sister is expecting and I could not even wait for the 20 weeks for her to find out. The suspense almost killed me when I was expecting! Good for you guys! Now I am anxious to find out what you are having! Prayers that the baby is HEALTHY!

I think you are having a girl too!! That is my guess!! I can't wait to find out! I hope you are feeling well. Have a very Merry Christmas!!

To add to the science, I carried two girls completely differently. I gained about half as much weight with the second one and she weighed almost 2 pounds more than her big sister at birth!!!
I can't wait to see your little girl or boy. Two girls is certainly fun. We opened several pairs of matching pjs this morning. – Hillary K.
