Erin

I'm going to guess...Girl!

Stephanie

Still a boy. No question.

Janssen

I'm going to say. . . .boy. Because every person I know who is pregnant is having a boy.

Marie Green

I'm going with boy. I have two friends that had babies THIS WEEK, and they were both girls, so I figure that a boy must be coming soon. =)

Kristie

Boy, of course.

(But either way I just know this kid will be amazingly fantastic.)

And I forgot to tell Mike that I liked his dirt. Pass that along, will ya?

Dianna

Oh...I'm on the fence. Hmmm, I'm going to guess boy no wait girl. Girl.

Kate

BOY! I said that before, but I'll say it again - BOY BOY BOY!

Angella

I suck at the guessing. Are you going to find out and tell us already?

:)

Sharon

Ahh, gotta love drunken parties! :)

My vote is for a boy. All of my friends who have had babies recently, or are currently pregnant are all having girls, so it's time for a boy to make his entrance into the world!

Connie

I vote for boy, don't ask why cause I have no idea.

Camels & Chocolate

I'm sticking with my gut--it's totally a little dude!

Kim

I say a boy...just a feeling!

Jen L.

I say girl. :)

Could you please have your husband have a talk with MY husband about the importance of holiday decorating!?!? I had to do it all myself. I really don't think he understands the plans I have for our yard at Christmastime, especially since we are in the south now and don't have to worry about snow ruining anything!

Bethany

Girl! I say girl!

Laurie

I'm going to say boy! I have a great name that we are going to use for our little guy in January & since you live in Texas & I live in Missouri & I know they won't be in the same kindergarten class, it's yours if you want it! It'll be a little secret until you find out.....more of a build-up that way.

Jen

Friday! Woot! So exciting!
I'm sticking with boy :)
I'm a big fan of Drunk Mike!

TUWABVB

While I usually defer to the personal opinion of the person carrying said baby, I have to admit, I think it's a girl.

Christina

I (still) think Boy!
Looks like a really fun weekend and that grave is awesome.
Good luck Friday, I hope you two take what ever is left of the workday off. I was WORTHLESS the day we found out and my apt was at 8am, so you know, all day! ha.

Cheri DeLurker

I'm still going with GIRL! :)

Kate

I'm going with GIRL :)

Nicole

I love the photo of you and Mike smooching. So lovely! And I still think it's a boy!

Pickles & Dimes

You guys are so cute! And I love Molly's t-shirt.

I still think you're having a girl.

Sensibly Sassy

Totally still a girl!

Theresa

I think it's going to be a girl! I'm due in April and I want a girl so I might be a little biased :)

Sabrina

Im gonna guess boy... only because there are 5 people I know that are pregnant and are all having boys!!

Rhi

Girl! And, she's going to marry one of Cherie's boys!

barbetti

BOY BOY BOY BOY OH BOY.

Beth Fish

I think girl, but then I always think people are going to have girls and apparently, some people do not.

Shelly

I hope you have a boy, because my son is totally laid back and wonderful and my daughter is a stress-filled drama queen (but I love her, of course!). Also, that grave site is AWESOME!!!

nonsoccermom

Hmm, I think I still say girl. Yes. Girl for sure!

merrymishaps

OMG, I never win anything! Thanks! I'll do you right and buy myself something pretty. Possibly shoes.

I believe I already guessed girl so I'm gonna stick with that :)

Rebecca

GIRL!! I am voting girl because I just had one a week ago [omg it's been a week already :( ] and EVERYONE seems to be having girls lately. When I had my son EVERYONE was having boys. So. Girl.

jean

It's going to be a boy. Or a girl. No, it's a boy. Definitely a boy.

Kerri Anne

I still say girl!

Zoo

I'm guessing boy. :)

Pam

Girl. Or maybe two?

Kristabella

I have no idea what I guessed, or if I guessed the first time around. But I'm going to say boy.

Miranda

Still going with girl.

Now I'm going to go sulk that you get to find out the gender a whole 11 days before I get to find out the gender of my baby, though you're only due a whopping 2 days before I am. Then I'm going to tell myself to grow up and then I'm going to be really, REALLY excited for you.

Amy

I'm really bad at guessing the gender, but I'm thinking Girl, no Boy, yes, Girl. Girl.

Good luck with the big ultrasound!

Jess

I still think it's a girl. It just has to be, because otherwise you're going to cry every time you have to bypass all the cute purple baby clothes.

natalie

I still think it is a girl. But, I'm thinking boyish thoughts for you.

Here is the percentages for you: 63% think it will be a girl. 37% think it will be a boy!

Marie

Girl. Only because girls are cooler due to the variety of clothing and accessories.

Danielle-lee

Awwww! Sorry I didn't stay long enough to see everyone drunk! At least you don't have drunk pictures of me. Whew!

Danielle-lee

I love Molly! She is the sweetest girl ever!

Just Jinny

If I posted drunk pictures of my husband he might just divorce me. lol. Y'all will just have to imagine his drunken 'emu dance of love'.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
