BOY or GIRL?

In exactly three weeks, we'll have the ultrasound that tells us if this baby is a boy or a girl.  People ask me all the time which I think it is, and I really don't know.  There are times I'm certain it's a boy... and other times I just know it's a girl.  With John Mark I always had a suspicion that he was a boy.  I can't say I really feel either way this time.  So I'll be as surprised as you!

I've added a poll to the side of my page- right over there above the "Meet Us" page.  So take a minute and come cast your vote!

In order for you to make a well-informed decision, I'll give you a list of typical "gender-reveal" kind of symptoms and how they stack up against my first pregnancy. :)

-Sickness: I didn't have intense morning (or otherwise) sickness with either pregnancy.  No puking or nausea or any of those typical things.

-Exhaustion: I can't be entirely certain, since I found out about JM so late in the game, but I was SO tired this time around.  Maybe I can blame that on knowing I was pregnant and being more aware... I'm not sure.

-Emotions: With John Mark, I was crazy.  I admit it... I had rage.  This time around, I have tears... oh, the tears!  I cry all. the. time.

-Cravings: I've craved lots of random things this time, but the consistent things would be sweets (anything sweet!!) and cheese.  The first time around I craved meat... like ate batches of sausage balls at a time.  I don't know if any of that matters... just a thought.

-Heart Rate: JM's heartrate, while high for a boy, was never above 155.  This one has had a heartrate in the 160's.

Okay... I think those are the biggest wives' tales for predicting the gender.  Now it's your turn!  So come on over and cast your vote.  We'll make the big reveal in about three weeks!
