Surmising...
Here in Sweden, they do not practise disclosing the sex of the baby. Initially we didnt want to find out either...we thought it would be good to be surprised
It really doesnt matter if its a boy or a girl but knowing will definitely help in setting up the nursery and buying stuff.Also when we bond with our baby it'll feel nice to be able to call the baby "he/she" instead of "it" or "the baby."
I had a strong intuition before i went for my ultrasound that our baby is a boy... Just some kind of motherly instinct i believe.Then during the ultrasound we saw what looked like a male genital.Of course i asked the Gyn and she said "well looks like a boy but... it could be the umbilical cord or sumthing too". After the ultrasound i was more confident that i am right... so we are taking the chance and buying blue baby clothes :)
If i really knew for sure, i would be more than happy to announce it.
But since i'm in the 50/50 mode i thought its best to keep it to ourselves.so my dear family, cousins and friends, i am not in denial...I'm left hanging in the middle myself
i guess i will only really be able to confirm once he's born to determine how right my motherly instincts really were. Its only in about 3 months time that i will finally be able to confirm what i have surmised this far.
Maybe you would want to take a look at the ultrasound pic and make a guess and drop a tag on what u think is the gender!

It doesn't matter! I just want it healthy! the joy of having a healthy baby is absolutely boundless...After nine long months, it will be great to have a healthy and happy child in our arms :)
