Boy Or Girl? And Consolation present ideas please....

[Laurel]

Hello boys,

Well there's been an ongoing debate in my household as of late. Is the Baby a Boy, or a Girl??

I've put on no weight at all, no bump despite being 17 weeks along now and all I've craved is proper Steak.

Ross has decided we are having a boy, he's adamant that he's GOT to have son so he can watch Top Gear with him and I swear he just wants an excuse to play with Lego again....ROLF

Anyone really wanted a boy and found out it was a girl??? I'm all pregnant and emotional and paranoid that if I can't give Ross a boy he'll resent me and not love the baby as much - *sob* okay so perhaps I've been watching too many period dramas but I'm seriously concerned!!

SO, we have the sexing scan just before Christmas so I need ideas for a "consolation present" to give Ross if it's a girl......any ideas? I don't know car parts like you lot - anything that would get Ross all happy again??

Thanks for the help in advance!!

I found out we're going to have a boy in Feb but was utterly convinced it was going to be a girl.
As soon as you know, you just look at all the advantages of having said boy/girl and what you thought you wanted doesn't matter any more.
Its so great when the scanner (?) nurse does all the checks though and tells you that you're baby looks fine, thats a big relief.....
Hardest thing with a boy is coming up with a name! Girls names seem easier to think of for some reason

Well, after the lego period 'she ' will shure become a mechanic, so what about nice blue overalls?

Both my girls love watching top gear with me and love lego...

Ross needs to be told - it don't matter a dang if its a boy or a girl... As long as they are happy and healthy thats all matters. Oh and my wee girl loves lego just as much as her big brother there. Me and her ladyship didn't even bother finding out the boy/girl thing before they arrived - its gonna be what its gonna be. Stay healthy !

We've found out we're having identical boys and a singleton girl. Lego sounds like a plan :-)

They already have a name for a boy...

Having a boy is defenetly a good thing, because you can buy him all things that your parents didn't want to buy you, because they said one should have other toys than cars too. If you have a girl is a big benefit that normaly they don't like the tools and if you go to garage you can work in peace. Anyway don't worry when he holds holds his daughter for the first time you'll see the expresion on his face. No one I know wasnt dissapointed on his child. It would be better if you start preparing yourself for the first sex debate with your kid. I think that would be more dificult than a simple thing of telling that it's a boy or a girl.

We had our sexing scan and the guy told us he "thinks" it "might be" a boy. Bloody helpful you are mate!

I wouldn't eat yourself up about it - the rest of the process is nothing but inevitable. There is nothing you can do to influence anything, apart from staying healthy. So do that and stop talking daft about Ross resenting you. Once it's in your arms, boy or girl, the rest of the world won't matter.

well

after my wife got pregnant, i always knew it was a boy, and out came Mikkel my little star...

There is an old test you can do, take a girl or boy, lay it next to your stomach, if he/she is calm its the opposite sex, that is inside you. Old icelandic test
