How to show your mom's blog friends that you are nearly five months along?
After work, in the elevator, lift up your sweater, take a selfie.
On the 7th Chelsea and Martin will find out the gender of the baby, well if the baby is in the right position to see that is.
Want to guess?
Chelsea has had four dreams that it was a boy and one dream that it was a girl.
Martin dreamed it was a boy.
I dreamed it was a boy.
Yann says it is a girl.
Most people think how her belly is position pointing out instead of in the hips that it means it is a boy.
50 percent chance it is one or the other.
100 Percent chance it is a baby.
When pregnant with my first child, I had an ultrasound at about six months and was told the baby would be a girl. I'd been calling the little peanut "Emil" all along but cheerfully changed my expectations. However, when born prematurely at seven months, the baby was indeed a boy. Mama was right, technology was wrong.
Second child, my dream was that baby was a girl wearing a blue sleeper. Turned out to be my second son.
Will be interesting to see what Chelsea has. Fun!

My money's on girl because boy seems to be the front runner and I'm a contrarian.

I've long wondered why we are so anxious to saddle a precious unborn child with a sex label, and all the baggage that that label (whether male or female) carries with it in American (and French) culture. As soon as they know whether a baby is male or female, people start treating that baby (unborn or born) in terms of the cultural stereotypes and norms for his or her sex (often in ways that those people do not even realize). As a product of my culture, I invariably do that too. But I try very hard not to do it consciously because, having interpreted and applied sex discrimination law (and studied sexism) for decades, I know how very destructive those sex-based stereotypes and norms can be.
With every best wish from another first-time grandmother-to-be (in July or September...the babies are twins).

Whichever, she/he is blessed!

I'm with the girl guesses. No matter which, after finding out the sex, then it will be "what are they going to name him/her? Such fun, but maybe stressful games but maybe not. Maybe just a great big bundle of JOY.

With my first child, we were both 100% sure (even we conceived) that our child would be a girl, and so she was. We knew she would be stubborn and spirited and beautiful; she was a dream we shared when we first met.
Our second child, we thought would be a girl, but I think that was more because we could decide on a girl's name we both wanted desperately to use -- Romy -- so of course we had a boy. And he has been a total surprise and gift, each and every day.

So cute. Whatever the baby is, it will be fully loved.

Italian old wives tale girls rob your looks..boys you sparkle..
also 100 per cent you carry boys and girls differently..my Nona from Calabria used a wedding ring and a string and would sway it over the pregnant woman's belly..

Which ever it is, it will certainly be well loved.

How beautiful that little bump is! I love how the light is just shining on the baby. I'm betting with Yann. He seems to be going by inspiration.
