Certainly sounds like a boy! By the way Congratulations to both of you!

Join http://freecycle.com for your area - tons of lightly used baby stuff on there all the time, at least around here!

Kim,
All I can say is I had about half of the sypmtoms and signs you mentioned, which means I didn't have half..he he he, and I have a BOY to show for it.

(the Pamela Anderson theory? Well....let's just say that is one theory I can STILL prove wrong

)

Just a small editorial on freecycle.com....it was a horrible experience for me, twice, and, I wouldn't do it again. Free or not.

I have had great experiences with freecycle.com - I posted about a dead printer once, or another time about old computers - so old I thought no one would want them - and by the end of the day someone has come and taken it away! The people in each instance were polite and grateful - for stuff that was otherwsie destined for a dumpster!!!

I have tried the website several times, and either I'm a complete moron who can't figure it out, or there's nothing local that anybody's giving away for free!

I so hope everyone is right about the wive's tales! Hubby wants a boy soooo badly. I want it to be a girl to annoy the heck outta him (bwahahaha) and for the sheer fact that little girl clothes are just tooooooo sweet!

The boy clothes are just clothes, but the little girl clothes are all pretty and ruffly and SWEET! But like Ash said, when they reach school age, the clothes make an abrupt change to tacky looking Lizzie Maguire style clothing with lots of glitter and bellies hanging out, while boys get nice normal looking stuff!

BTW, she's STILL blowing my mind about the belly hanging out thing. I swear, one month ago, SHE had her belly hanging out. When we bought maternity clothes yesterday, her MAIN issue was whether or not it fully covered her belly and whether or not it draped well. Did an alien come along and steal my daughter away and replace her with a logical thinking WOMAN? Oh, and you should see the maternity blouse she got for easter! OMG, $8 and it looks like a million bucks on her! I'll DEFINATELY take pictures of her in it!

Hee hee, Jen, thanks for starting this baby shower! Should I invite the mommy-to-be to join? I think I will! Just so she can meet everyone who's sending her so many good wishes!
