So of course I want a boy this time around and I honestly feel more like it's a boy this time. The question I have is whether I feel that way because I want one so much or because it's really "mothers intuition"??? My only reasons for feeling this way (silly as they may be) are these:1- I have been so much sicker this time around than with the girls.
2- Now that my appetite is back I feel like I can't get enough to eat. I am starving all the time and it is an actual proven fact that women carrying boys need more calories during pregnancy than with girls.
3- I have never once had a dream about a baby boy until this pregnancy. (although it was somewhat disturbing) it was still definately a boy dream
4- The baby's heart rate is so much slower than it was with the girls.
5- I gained weight slowly with the girls but always hit the recommended amount and no more at the recommended rate of gain. This time....I am now just starting to STOP losing weight. I haven't gained anything! Which is baffling considering how hungry I am all the time.
So...I get the verdict on Thursday provided the baby cooperates and lets us take a good peek. I am getting so nervous about it. Now I actually have to start shopping and thinking of names and calling the baby something other than "the baby".
ALSO...
I see things like like today when a little boy was peeing on some random persons back patio and his mother running frantically across the grass to stop him and I get scared...very scared...because I know that will be me someday.
Of course I get to have people stare at me in shock because my 3 year old is walking around the grocery store with her baby doll shoved up her shirt. At least she knows now that the only thing dispensed up there is milk. She used to believe her belly button could be pushed to change the drink of the day. It varied from pepsi, chocolate milk, orange juice, and sprite. See...I am teaching her something! ha ha
But perhaps the best bonus of all that comes with having a boy is this: the girls can now take themselves to the bathroom in most public places. This way Terrence can have his 4 year long turn while I get a break....ha ha...SUCKER!!!
So...I will post the verdict on Thursday. Wish us luck!

I am super excited for you guys. You are so cute with your little baby bump.
My personal thoughts: not that they matter, or that you care, but I think it's a boy too ;)
WAHOO- I can't wait to find out what you're having.
A lot of your "symptoms" are just like mine; so I'm betting on a boy as well! Good luck- hopefully he cooperates and you can tell!!!
Oh I have my fingers crossed for you!! Boys are GREAT fun and WAY different then girls. My son still surprises me daily. (the bad thing is he is exactly like my brother, I keep telling my brother they cloned him but I don't see why they cloned him into Kaden. LOL I already raised Jason now I get to do it again...:)
I think boy...I was super sick with both my boys...not that I have a girl pregnancy to compare them to but good luck with the healthy baby part, boy or girl.
I think a GIRL. Although everything is different so is each GIRL! But seriously I'm with Monica. Just let baby Hunter (because you should name a little girl that too!) be healthy!
And Madison makes me laugh to tears to peeing my pants! XO
CANT WAIT TO HEAR!!!!!!
OH MY HECK! I can't wait to find out. Do you need someone to watch your girls during your appointment? Call if you need my help with anything.
Sad that I can't be there. It's totally a boy though. You just have that "vibe".
Thursday can't come soon enough. I can't wait. Just hope he is healthy and that you can see for sure that he is a boy. I've known or at least felt each time what sex they were and I was never wrong. I do believe in Mother's intuition. Good luck tomorrow! Love you!
