Sorry, can't tell you a thing except you have a 50/50 shot.
Just do a quick search on "nub theory" on this board to get a little more info. Short version: Nub Theory offers debatably low accuracy for sex determination (as I expect the skull theory would) even with a perfectly positioned baby in a perfectly clear u/s viewed by a trained OB or u/s tech.
Lol I cant tell from those pictures I do see a little nub sticking straight out but I cant tell if its a leg/umbilical cord or what lol sorry. I always try to look really closely at my ultrasound pictures to see if I can tell the gender lol and I never can.
Serious question here.....does anyone look at previous posts? Posts like this always seem to end the exact same, you would think everyone would learn.
OP: I think its a girl but I could be wrong and probably am:) Really I dont even see a nub. Although, to be completely honest I really never know what I am looking at on an ultrasound unless its labeled.
I always wait until many people respond to posts like these....and then grab my popcorn! Sadly this post happened last week, then got taken down, boooo
Skull theory relies on differences in anatomy that arise due to high levels of hormones in puberty. Unless there's something dramatically wrong with your baby (and I hope there isn't) you won't see any puberty related changes in their skull for quite some time.
Nub theory has a scientific basis but needs a well trained tech with a very very still baby and a very clear shot at the perfect angle. If your tech didn't speculate on sex, how do you expect us to.
Also to echo PP, seriously there is a post on the first page or two that had the exact.same.reaction when asked about nub predictions. Welcome to the community, if you choose to stick around open a few threads to get the vibe of the community. You wouldn't walk up to a group of random pregnant women who youve never talked to before and wave your u/s pic in their face and ask what the sex is, why is it appropriate to do that with an online community?
Ohhhhhh, pick me, pick me! I can be an obnoxious "white knight" so here's my best shot at it:
*clears throat*
"ERMYGERD you guiiiiiiisssse! Why can't you all just be nice?? I pride myself on being nice ALL THE TIME, and almost exclusively to those who only create repetitive drive by posts! This board would be sooooo much better if everyone only posted cookie cutter unicorn and rainbow responses!!!"
*takes a bow*
I hope that was preachy enough for ya'll! I'm excited for your critiques ;-)

Bravo, @WinniethePoohsPants. Bravo. I give you an overall score of 9.25. You hit the nail on the head with the WK response, but you spelled "guiiiiiiissssse" wrong. You missed an "S". Other than that, outstanding.
