According to an elderly woman at my work....

I'm having a boy. lol.

She tells me I'm carrying low and that's how she can tell.

I think that is silly.... however, with DS, I carried a lot lower than I am now with this LO who we found out last week is a girl.... so maybe its not THAT silly!

Well, I thought I was carrying low for DD, but after comparing pics, I was higher then I am now...

Are you going to find out with this one? I am interested to see if he OWT is correct for both of us!

I have been told this! My little GIRL just likes to keep things on the DL.

I did carry really low with DS. This time I am carrying much higher and DH is convinced we are having a girl. I guess we will see in Jan if this OWT is correct in my case.

The U/S tech wrote it down for us.  It is in a sealed envelope somewhere in the house.  (DH hid it from me), we are still undecided.  We may do a gender reveal BBQ for family and find out all together.

It is really DH's call on this one.  I really wanted to know with DD and he did not, but we did anyway, so I told him this time he can make the call.

i carried exactly the same w/ my first and second pregnancy (and so far with this one). I always carried high and looked like i had a beach ball under my shirt lol. And i had a daughter and then a son...so for me there was no "tell tale" signs in carrying. The only thing was my pregnancy symptoms were night and day...i felt great ALL the time w/ my DD, i worked right up until i had her, never puked, never got the nausea or anything. And then get every symptom in the book when i was pregnant with my son. This made me and DH think he was deff a boy just because my pregnancy's were sooo different symptom wise. So if im going by my past pregnancies, Im thinking this one will be a boy (but DH is convinced it  is a lil princess). We will see in Dec or Jan!! Are you feeling one way or the other??

I really don't know.  I keep thinking it is another girl, but I I also MAY have seen a wee wee at the U/S.  Although truth but told i have no idea what we were looking at at the time, she could have been looking at the brain or something lol.

I will def. be happy either way.  A boy would be awesome to have one of each, as we think we are only going to have 2.  But another girl would be great as well.

I thought carrying high was supposed to (emphasis on the "supposed to") mean boy, so I am confused by what this woman even said.  Someone told me I must be havng a boy b/c I am carrying high.  I actually am, but I have also had plenty of OWT say "girl."  I'd tell this woman she has a 50% chance of being right!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that totally just made me laugh out loud! hilarious!!! I too had a moment at ours (and in one of our pics) that im like "oh its a boy" but honestly i dont know, and i dont care, like you said... if this baby gets out healthy...everything else is an added bonus!

I also thought carrying high means a boy per the OWT...

I carried insanely high with my son. Like, ridiculously high. I am definitely carrying lower this time (though still kinda highish - Im short waisted...). I think that is probably because Im a STM though and things are just settling differently.

Eh, I carried high with DS and low with DD. This baby is still low but my stomach somewhere in the middle of where I was last with my previous babies.

It's funny how many people actually subscribe to this line of thinking. When I told my mom it was a boy she was in SHOCK because I was carrying totally different from someone else who was having a boy. Uh, mom, everybody carries differently.
