You Tell Me.

April 09, 2008

Well?

So I made a guess, and my doctor made a guess, and they were indeed the same guess, but after an unhealthy amount of time examining the blurry genitals on random strangers' ultrasounds on Google I am now second-guessing that guess. Maybe. A little. Eh, I think I'm right.

Dear Baby,

Thank you for being all alive and perfect and stuff.

I really really love you a lot, like, wow,

Mama

I am hoping you will post to clarify because I am dying to know! I guess by the pic, girl!

GIRL!

I say hamburger = girl!

Posted by: Danielle | April 09, 2008 at 03:44 PM

That is all boy. Congrats!

GIRL

Posted by: Allison | April 09, 2008 at 03:45 PM

That a very gorgeous fetus you've go there.
And I can't tell if it's a boy or girl. Our daughter, whilst still a fetus, looked like a boy during her ultrasounds. So, ya just never know. lol

Posted by: Dawn B | April 09, 2008 at 03:47 PM

She looks just like Noah did at that age.

Posted by: Missie | April 09, 2008 at 03:49 PM

I only had a boy, so that's all I know from ultrasounds. I thought in the first one it was a boy (aren't those two little balls hanging down?) but then the 2nd one I'm guessing more girl.

Pls share - we want to know!

Seahorse? Because both my girls always resembled seahorses. Congrats on healthy ultrasound pictures. They always made me feel great.

Posted by: teachergirl | April 09, 2008 at 03:50 PM

Looks more like a hamburger then a hot dog to me. Are we going to be seeing lots and lots of pink in the future?

Posted by: Audra | April 09, 2008 at 03:50 PM

Had you not identified it, I never would have guessed that was even a baby, so I wouldn't hazard a guess on the sex. Can you tell I haven't had much experience with ultrasounds? Glad it's healthy though.

Posted by: Kristin | April 09, 2008 at 03:51 PM

Hmmmm ... it's a ... baby?

No, seriously. I vote for boy because I thought I saw some tiny balls in one of the pictures. But what do I know? I've never had a pregnancy u/s.

Posted by: charlotte | April 09, 2008 at 03:53 PM

I think that's a little chickita in there! Love her!!!!

Posted by: Patti B | April 09, 2008 at 03:54 PM

I see PENIS and BALLS! Looks like my baby boys early US. Congrats on the healthy baby!

Posted by: Amber | April 09, 2008 at 03:54 PM

I've got no guesses. Let's keep in mind that if I look at the u/s pictures of my two girls I still can't tell that they actually had heads and, thankfully, they do.

Just glad to hear that baby is healthy - that is the best news!

Posted by: jen | April 09, 2008 at 03:55 PM

I can't even see the legs.
Waa.

Posted by: BaltimoreGal | April 09, 2008 at 03:57 PM

I see a girl.

Posted by: angela | April 09, 2008 at 04:00 PM

I say again:
If it's a boy, then, YEA! BOY! WE KNOW HOW TO DO BOY!
If it's a girl, then, YEA! GIRL! MUCH-TOO-VAST SELECTION OF CLOTHING AND HAIRSTYLES!
Either way, he/she is gonna rock, 'cause YOU'RE the mama!
YEA, BABY! (Can't tell a damn thing on u/s; don't ask me!)

Posted by: KimAZ | April 09, 2008 at 04:02 PM

I'm selfishly hoping it's a girl.

Posted by: Miss Britt | April 09, 2008 at 04:04 PM

After much close inspection and deliberation, it looks to me like you're having a baby! WOO!

I was relieved, because for a moment there, I thought it might be a puppy or a kangaroo.

Posted by: psumommy | April 09, 2008 at 04:09 PM

oh man...I have no idea

Posted by: Sarah | April 09, 2008 at 04:12 PM

I think I saw a hamburger..So it's a girl! Three lines mean a girl. Our US had a hamburger and we got a girl. At least you know it's a baby!

Posted by: jooshy | April 09, 2008 at 04:13 PM

Boy, boy BOY!

Posted by: kathryn | April 09, 2008 at 04:14 PM

i think it's a wonderpet. noah was right all along.

i kid.

are you sure you're not tricking us with pictures of two different babies? like, this is your tricky way of telling us that you're having twins, one girl and one boy?

either way, please get your pregnant self back to the computer and tell us what is going on.
please!?!

Posted by: supertiff | April 09, 2008 at 04:15 PM

That is really difficult to tell. My guess is girl.

Regardless she/he is a cute little baby!

You have done what poor Katie Holmes only WISHES she could do.

You are pregnant with Xenu. Congratulations.

Posted by: Marmite Breath | April 09, 2008 at 04:17 PM

My wife and I are divided after both taking a look. She says boy, I say girl.

Posted by: Mouse | April 09, 2008 at 04:26 PM

I'm an ultrasound tech, and that looks like a boy to me. However, you are not far enough along to be sure AND I am not looking at the images in "real time, so I can't tell if one of those lines that I think is leg bone is actually labia! So ignore everything that I just said. Okay? Glad I could help.

Posted by: t.w.i.t. | April 09, 2008 at 04:27 PM

Wow, I love how people are so totally confident it's a boy, and others are totally confident it's a girl.

I am going to go with someone above me and say wonderpet. Definitely.

Posted by: Tiffany | April 09, 2008 at 04:29 PM

I'm thinking girl. Of course, I could hardly see my daughter's "tutu" (my doctor's word) when they pointed it out to me! So my opinion probably shouldn't count.

Posted by: nonsoccermom | April 09, 2008 at 04:30 PM

Hmmm...I think boy, but I'm horrible at this stuff. But I'm hoping that I'm wrong and it's a girl, cause I know how much you wanted a girl last time!

Either way, healthy is what's important -- well, and human. Which this baby definitely looks -- healthy and human. :)

Posted by: Rebecca | April 09, 2008 at 04:33 PM

I'm guessing a really healthy little girl!!!

Posted by: Kerry | April 09, 2008 at 04:47 PM

Girl girl girl. Damn I loved going for ultrasounds. Recently my husband's colleague's sister (der) was told "well, it looks like you're having a hippie" cause the baby looked to have really long hair. Yours is not a hippie. Phew.

Posted by: Carolyn | April 09, 2008 at 04:48 PM

I see the hamburger in pic #2 which means its a girl. The hamburger is the outer "lips". YAY GIRLS!! :)

Posted by: Melissa | April 09, 2008 at 04:49 PM

Girl! But then I learned most of what I know about ultrasounds from reading the comments.

Posted by: qwyneth | April 09, 2008 at 05:06 PM

woman! you cannot leave us hanging like that.

i have ZERO ultrasound experience, so i'm going with cute fetus who may or may not resemble a wonderpet.

also, my ovaries just burst. want. baby. please.

Posted by: Ashley | April 09, 2008 at 05:13 PM

I'm going to say "girl," because... uh... a lot of other people did. Then I'm going to spend the rest of today staring at the picture, trying to see the fabled three lines and/or hamburger configuration. Or a penis. Because honestly, I can't make out anything at all in those top pictures, and in the others all I can tell is what is the head and what is not the head. I suck at this.

(Also, congratulations to you! I mean, either way it's a baby.)

Posted by: Sara | April 09, 2008 at 05:18 PM

That looks just like my little girl's ultrasound!!! ohhhhh so cute!

Posted by: Kelli | April 09, 2008 at 05:23 PM

Boy or girl, I just wanna know if you guys are gonna let US (the internet at large, et al) name it!!!!

Posted by: lizinsumner | April 09, 2008 at 05:23 PM

Let's hear it for boys!!!! :)

Posted by: Tam. | April 09, 2008 at 05:26 PM

Your little one is definitely nom nom nom adorable!!! Congratulations! And as for whether it's a boy or girl...um...I think I can tell where the head is if I tilt my head to the side...can you tell I've never been pregnant? Anyway another weee and congrats!

Posted by: jenn | April 09, 2008 at 05:31 PM

I kind of think that the second picture looks like a living, swimming, shrimp, but I'm going to trust all of you who insist that it's a baby.

Posted by: Liza | April 09, 2008 at 05:34 PM

isn't that a cock in #2 and a cunt in #3? yay hermaphrodites!!

Posted by: alotta | April 09, 2008 at 06:02 PM

Oh my hell I have no idea. How can you even GUESS?

Posted by: jonniker | April 09, 2008 at 06:06 PM

It's a baby right? What's my prize?

Posted by: motherbumper | April 09, 2008 at 06:09 PM

Hello Gorgeous!

Baby girl in the house.

Posted by: Jenny | April 09, 2008 at 06:19 PM

I can tell you one thing: I'm certainly not having hamburgers for dinner tonight anymore after reading through these comments.

Posted by: Nothing But Bonfires | April 09, 2008 at 06:22 PM

Mazel tov on the boy! Girl! Boy? Um, yeah. Congrats anyway!

Posted by: Jen | April 09, 2008 at 06:25 PM

To me, it looks like twin hurricanes approaching the Gulf Coast. But then I had my children before U/S were en vogue, so I'm handicapped when it comes to deciphering them. We suspended a pencil from a string over our tummies and spun it.

Yeah, I also had trouble deciphering that one too.

Posted by: slyeyes | April 09, 2008 at 06:27 PM

Totally a boy. No doubt. B.O.Y.

Yay! Glad HE'S doing well.
