Tomorrow, our little family is going to find out who will be joining us at the end of August. I am absolutely the most impatient person on Earth, so we are finding out now if Zack will be having a Baby Brother or a Baby Sister.
As with any mother-to-be, I’m desperate to find out the gender of the new baby. I’ve taken every Old Wives’ Tale test, lunar calendar calculator, and product I can pee on in an effort to have an early guess. Here’s what those tests have told me:
My intuition – Boy
Intelligender test – Girl
Red Cabbage test – Boy
Old Wives’ Tale tests – Girl
Chinese Lunar Calendar – Girl
Moon Sign (Aires) – Boy
Conception Timing (Shettles Method) – Boy
Yes, I’m insane. The results are pretty mixed, though. I’m still guessing we’ll be on Team Blue again.
What do you think? Pink or blue? What say you?
I'm feelin' a girl! Maybe you'll have ONE OF EACH IN THERE!!!!!!
Team Blue! Then again, I have three boys, so I might be just a little biased! 😉 My intuition was always dead on…Congratulations on your pregnancy.

When I had my son, my intuition was wrong and the Chinese Lunar Calendar was right. So I'm going to guess PINK is in your future! Congrats either way!
You will hate me for this, but I think girl.
I would say boy, but I'll say girl just for the hey of it. 🙂 It would be nice to have pink around wouldn't it? 🙂
My guess is girl only because the Chinese Lunar worked for both of my kids. Isn't that scientific? How exciting! Can't wait to hear.
Gotta go with Mom's intuition on this one! I knew I was having a boy way before my ultrasound, but convinced myself there was no way I COULD know. I'm a firm believer now!
Pink, pink!! 😀 These test are really funny things.. 😀
Whoever it is, it will be somebody fun!!! We strung out the anticipation and waited till the birthday to find out with both our little ones. That was GREAT, and I highly recommend it – if you can! Ours are 3 and 1 now. But since you're "peeking," share the news! 🙂
Hmmm, I'll go with Intelligender and say Girl.
With me it was a yeast infection with the 2 girls, and 20 weeks of nausea with the 4 boys. Which would you prefer?
No matter what I bet you have decorating ideas for both. Which way do you lean on the decorating end? My first three were boys and my fourth was a girl. I loved making her curtains more than anything cause I got to use pink, hot pink, green, and lime green. It was more vibrant than my boys rooms.
Congrats either way.
Girl! Because I have baby girls on the brain. My first grandbaby will be born in June and it's a girl.
Girl! 2010 has been the year of the girl with my friends so far, and both had two boys first.
Wow! I didn't realize there were so many tests! I always had a dream about the sex of mine….but since you didn't mention that, I'll go with intuition…and say BLUE! Congrats either way!!!
Congratulataions!!! According to the Chinese Lunar calendar I should have 2 girls and 1 boy… I'm days away from expecting my 3rd boy! It was only right about one. Which ever it is you will have so much fun with more than one running around the house!

You are too funny! Our pregnancies must be pretty close…Im 17 weeks today, due August 13th! We find out the sex a week from Monday:) Can't wait to hear what you are having!
Well, I don't know, but I hope it's a girl. Boys are awesome, and I adore my baby boy. It's pretty straightforward- boys love their mommas. BUT, it is an entirely different relationship with a daughter. You will never see yourself more clearly than reflected in your daughter, and yet she'll be so different. It's more complex. Plus, the clothes are just so much more fun! Either way, congratulations! Babies are truly a gift from God!
My guess would be blue. You just look like a mom of boyS. 🙂

Check out Frame It Friday! over at Loving This Mom Stuff!
I'd love to see some of your child's artwork!
I'm gonna say "girl" ~ so you'll have one of each 🙂
Girl…you need someone you can craft with! : )
A girl, lol WHY?? No idea, but anyway….it will be either one duh ;0)
So exciting! Let us know!
i have a girl and a boy and I think you will have the same. It is spring and pink is in during this season( easter, Flowers, and pink cheeks) so I say GIRL! Good luck. Either way you will have another person in your life who loves you no matter what- what could be better!
Blue. I always go with the mama's intuition (even though mine was wrong once). 🙂
I am guessing GIRL — purely a guess!
Girl!! I don't know why, just because. 🙂 Congrats again!!
Oh congrats!! I vote for PINK!!! Janell
You're lucky to be finding out already. We are expecting in mid-august and have to wait until the END of the month to find out what we're having! Ahhh!! the suffering accompanied with impatience!
Take whatever you really want, and you'll get the opposite.
We really wanted a boy, so I knew we'd have a girl. I was so sure, we didn't even pick out boy names!
Girl…….I'm saying this because my sister gave me a nephew and I really wanted to buy girly things so all of my hope is now on YOU. :o)
I hope you have a girl!
I'm going to say boy … just because. My family thought I was going to be a boy, but nope – definitely a girl. Besides, your blog is blue.
This Chinese calender was correct for everybody know. The explanation is Norwegian, but it's so simple – you'll get it if you want to see! Obviously the blue squares mean boys and the pink mean girl.What you do is you find you age at the time of conception on in the vertical line and then the month of conception in the horizontal line, where they meet youlll find the answer 🙂

Well ALL my tests that I took said girl and they were ALL right. But when I had my son about half said girl and half said boy. I'd go with your gut. My gut said I was having a girl and I was right. 🙂 SO excited for you guys!!! Being preggo is fun right now because I'm over the sickness and looking very pregnant but not feeling achy yet. I hope this lasts a while!
Pink.
I'm on team blue (and think you will be, too!)
No idea…but my friend w/ three boys just had a girl today after EVERY old wives' tale told her 'boy again.' Soooo…who knows!?
I'm picking pink!!! I would love to see you do cute girly projects. My boys love your ideas but I'm craving some ruffles and frills for my little girl.
PINK!!!
I did the Chinese Lunar calendar when I was pregnat and it said a boy. I had a little girl. Everyone swears by it and says its right. It wasnt for me!! Cant wait to find out what it is!
I'm going to say "blink". That makes me right either way! You're going to have to put me in a shock collar and have an electric fence around your house to keep me away!! 🙂 I'm super excited for you!
gosh… don't know. But, my grandson is here! Born this morning at 6:50am after a night of labor for my daughter. He is a precious gift from God.
I felt distinctly different during my girl pregnancy than I did my boy one. (Even though I kinda hoped for a second boy, I KNEW.) So I go with your gut: Boy again!
I say little boy blue because that's what I'm having! ha ha!
I'm rooting for a girl!! 🙂
When I was pregnant with my youngest three years ago, I did the intelligender test and it predicted boy. I had a boy 🙂 I was obsessed with knowing too. I think I drove my husband nuts! Anyway, congrats to you which ever gender you end up with!
Oh, girl, you are so funny! How much home decor money did you spend on those crazy tests? 🙂
I don't care which one, I'll send presents either way, but if you think it's a boy, then I'd bet you're right!
My vote is for girl because the intelligender and chinese calendar were both right for us!
I can't wait to hear what you are having! Good luck!!

I have 1 Daughter and 2 Boys I Knew with all 3 what they were. My Daughter had her fist Dec 8th 2008 I was buying Girl clothes from the very beginning before we found out she was having a Girl. FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION. Good Luck. Hope You have a Happy Healthy Baby
When my husband and I were first married, we continued to use his Philipino house cleaners. When I found out I was pregnant, the guy cleaner told me, "You are definitely pregnant with a boy. Women glow when they are pregnant with a girl."
Nice, eh? And he was right. I was prego with a boy.
So, are you glowing or not???? ;o)
I KNEW which one I was pregnant with both times (and we looked on the ultrasound). But it didn't work that way for my best friend. I was convinced she was having a boy (and so was she). It was a huge shock when she had a girl (they chose to be surprised at the birth). Like not a good shock … that's how much we were both CONVINCED it was boy. Oh well.
Oh no you left us hanging! A blogging cliff hanger!! What if it were twins..(insert gasp here)..boy & girl. Bonkers right?! Forget boy or girl, I'm putting in an extra prayer for you tonight to have a healthy happy baby.
I say another boy, but wouldn't a little pink bundle make for fun crafts and projects?!
