Not really. I mean I assumed it would be a boy. H comes from all boys, already had a boy, I have no idea what to do with boys (I come from all girls) so I was sure I would be screwed. I was quite shocked it was a girl, and secretly relieved. I would have been happy either way, but I wanted a daughter so bad.
I originally wanted 3 boys, so I just knew it'd be a girl to screw me over. I had a dream it was a girl. And when I went for my ultrasound, the girl to get called in before me's name was Adrianna. I just KNEW it. Five minutes later I found out I was right. I quickly got over the whole "it's not a boy" thing by going shopping
With #2 I'm convinced it's a boy. H thinks it's a girl. This time, I honestly don't care what it is. I want DD to have a sister, but I also want a boy just to experience both sides.
When I first found out I was pregnant with E I thought she was a boy. Then around 8 or 9 weeks we did that stupid put a ring on a string and hang it over your belly test and when it said "girl", I was convinced I was having a girl. DH thought she was a boy though because I was craving steak all the time and that's man food. This one I think will be a girl just because I think DH and BIL only make girls. I don't really have a preference but part of me hopes for a boy just because I know how much DH would enjoy having a boy.

With my first DS I just felt like I was having a boy. My DH was estatic because he really wanted a boy.
With my second I did not really have time to even think about it. I found out on a Tuesday afternoon that I was pregnant and had a 'viability scan' on Thursday which confirmed it was a boy. I was so nervous about the health of the baby that I did not even think about gender. We only told one trusted friend each about what we found out on Tuesday so when we announced the pregnancy we were able to tell the gender as well.

I was 100% sure Aiden was a girl. I had dreams and gut feelings. I just knew! Obviously I was wrong. With Emily I should have known that my gut feeling is way off, but I was sure she was a boy. I was absolutely positive I'd have 2 boys, wrong again! I suck at the whole gender guessing thing

My best friend was preg at the same time I was, due 8 weeks before me. I swore she was having a boy & we were having a girl. Well she had a girl so then I had no idea, but I was right!
The first thought I had after I got my BFP was "this baby is a girl". I really, really, really wanted a boy because I think oldest sisters are almost always bishes to their younger siblings. To be completely honest, I had a really hard time getting excited about having a girl and kept hoping they had made a mistake. Now I am SO happy to have a little girl and feel totally differently about it. I can't imagine having a boy and feel really excited about all the things I get to teach her. (Plus, her clothes are way more fun.)
My BIL had a reputation for being able to predict the sex of babies, for some reason. He told H we were having a boy, to which I replied, psh, no we're not, without thinking. We got blue puppy printed clothes from them as a shower gift, he was so convinced. whoooops. She's super cute in blue, lol.
My hubby really wanted a boy...so I hoped we would have one..and we did! But of course I would love a daughter..but we are most likely one and done..so oh well..

Do you have a gut feeling? Did you with A?

I had a gut feeling it was a boy the first time.... it was a girl!
I had a gut feeling it was a boy the second time.... it was a boy!
For some reason, I think my gut feeling was based on the fact that we both wanted a boy.
