    I have an inkling that our bundle will be a boy. What is your gut telling you?

      Haha Heather, I still have that feeling that I am having twins...it's been a pretty strong feeling throughout the pregnancy (lots of dreams and things) but Dr said only one :) so I'm trusting him

    I haven't seen you so I can't say! My mother-in-law told me at 15 weeks I was having a boy and she was right--for the 12th time in a row. ALL of the grandkids in my husband's family? Yeah she called them all correctly! I don't know about the most recent one due in August (my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are due with baby #3, a boy) and if she predicted that one or not.

    And my uncle-in-law on my husband's side has twin boys--and their doc didn't know it was twins 'til 3 days before the boys were born. Granted that was 30 years ago.........

    Yikes! That's crazy! I would be so upset if we didn't know we were having twins until 3 days before....I am thinking of posting a picture on Facebook now that I have the bump and it is definitely more pronounced. Everyone is saying girl because I seem to be carrying high but....everyone has their own reason! We're just anxious to find out for real!!

    I am definitely all Belly and I am having a girl. So I disagree with the first wive's tale!

    Finding out the gender is really exciting :)
