Pink Or Blue?

Ok – so I thought we could have a fun poll. On Monday, August 2, I’m going in to have an ultrasound which will tell us if we’re having a girl or a boy. I know, I know, many of you have said I should wait to be surprised on the day of the birth. And I thought about that (for about 5 seconds) and decided NO WAY! ;) I’m a planner. And I’m no good at waiting, and no good at surprises for that matter. (Sorry mom and dad, I peaked at my Christmas presents every year from about 3-8th grade!)

So….what do you think I’m having? Of course we know that the great Creator has already decided, but c’mon, give it a guess! For those who believe in any of the myths or wives-tale ways of predicting, here are a few facts:

Heartbeat has been averaging around 160.
I had pretty severe morning sickness.
I started showing VERY quickly.
I’ve craved sweet more than salty, but truthfully I’ve craved a bit of both.
I’ve REALLY craved orange juice.

Here we go.

What's Your Fav?

    Whether pink or blue – - Congratulations!! :-) I personally chose blue. Not basing it on any myth or wives tale – just a simple guess.

    Like you I absolutely couldn’t wait to find out what we were having each time. I’m a planner and don’t really like surprises. First ultrasound was easy – he wasn’t shy at all. Second child was a bit harder – buy pink but keep the receipts!! Both were right! Our other daughter was adopted so she was a bit of a surprise I guess!! :-)

    Blessing to you and your family!

    It was the cravings that tipped me over to the blue. :) When I was pregnant with my boys, I ate a LOT of candy and used to drink the orange juice out of the gallon jug when I woke up in the morning or after a long day of work!
    Now I have 3 boys and 2 girls (boys were first). You have a lot of fun in store!

  • Jennifer

    For the sake of your hubby, I’m rooting and voting for blue but quite honestly, gut says pink..God Bless!

  • Nenia Ryan

    It’s a …….Baby! Yeah, I know, but couldn’t resist! I’m guessing a boy, just because! Whichever it is God Bless! You’re in for a wonderful ride as you already know with your girls! : )

  • Sonya

    I don’t like surprises either! And I too peeked at my Christmas gifts so I don’t feel near as bad now!

  • http://worshipdancer900.blogspot.com Brittany

    Either way congratulations! Your daughters are adorable! I can’t wait to hear about their reaction to their new brother or sister (I guessed a little brother for them :D )! Praying you and baby continue to stay healthy and praising God for the blessing this will be to your family! :)

    Love you!

    Lord we ask that as you continue to form this child in Your hands that Natalie and Bernie would have peace because You are doing a miracle. Lord that this child would grow one day to Love You and know your Son would be our greatest prayer. Lord thank You for the blessing You are giving Natalie and Bernie and may they have Your wisdom guiding them as parents. amen

    I say boy….
    I had three in a row deathly sick with two one just every a.m.
    Fourth was GIRL..no bigeee for you but for me was complete and utter JOY!
    With her only a tiny bit nauseas at night.
    I didn’t show for 6 months with my daughter..only took about 3 with boys.
    Boy all the way I say! Can’t wait to hear!

  • Teri

    From your description it sounds like my pregnancy with my daughter so I voted girl. However, I really hope you get a rough and tumble boy to mix things up a little. :)

  • Kayla

    I am having a girl in October and a lot of people I know are having girls right now. So I voted pink! Just a simple and fun guess! Congrats, Good Luck and God Bless!

  • http://facebook.com kelsey morgan

  • Cindy

    Based on the heart rate – pink !

  • http://www.twitter.com/JacquiL Jacqui

    The question is, what do YOU think it is? :) I really have no idea! At first I thought girl…now I’m thinking maybe boy…I don’t know lol!
    But I completely understand your wanting to find out now!!! I’ve never been pregnant but there is NO way I could wait 9 months to find out if I was having a son or daughter!!

  • Lindsay

    Ever since I found out you were pregnant, in my head i’ve felt like it’s a boy. But I’m curious to know what you think it is….
    and any names in mind?

  • Deb

    I have always heard that a high heart rate is a girl. It has proven true for me and my friends. If it’s true for you, it will be a GIRL! :)

  • Noelle

    CONGRATULATIONS, Natalie and family!!!!!
    I’m guessing boy, just because my sister and I are the oldest, and then my mom had my brother. LOL, I know that’s not a good reason. :D
    Better be thinking of names for both! ;)

    Of course, i guess pink…that’s because I hope you will be blessed with a lovely daughter…who is fully in love with Jesus…and has blessed me all the years of her 36 years….

  • http://Facebook Mary Thorp

    OOps…of course, this mother and grandmother was talking about how her daughter has blessed her…that is what I pray for you…boy, or girl…just as you have blessed me with your music…

  • Meredith Creek

    It’s a boy! I just have a feeling, but knowing that my mom tried six times and ended up with six girls, no boys, anything is possible.

  • Rebecca

    I’m like some of the others, pink or blue- Congrats!! I was so excited to read the big news! We had our ultrasound a week before Christmas last year and had the tech write the gender down on a slip of paper and seal it in an envelope and then we wrapped it up and put it under the Christmas tree. It was the last package we opened on Christmas morning! I had been so sure I was having a little girl that I nearly fell off the couch when I read It’s a Boy!! :) God Bless you tomorrow!!

  • Suzanne

    My guess is boy. But I’m always wrong. ;)

  • linda owens

    I had a kidney infection with one of my 7 pregnancies only once,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, when I was pregnant with twins! A boy and a girl! Good luck ;)

  • TISH WILLIAMS

    I VOTED PINK BASED ON YOUR HINTS BUT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF YOU’RE CARRYING HIGH OR LOW.

  • TISH WILLIAMS

    HOPEFULLY THE LITTLE ONE WILL BE POSITIONED AND NOT MODEST!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lindsay

    I think your having a boy but my mom thinks your having a girl because of the heart rate and the fact you already have twin girls. Can’t wait to find out!

  • Brock

    If yall were trying (again and again and over and over) then its a girl for sure! Let’s hope she gets her moms pipes! Good luck and smooth sailing here on out. The whole pushing thing at the end can sometimes be tuff, I’ve had two and barely broke a sweat each time! Seemed to be tougher on my wife? :) God bless!

  • Danielle Maxwell

    The heartbeat is fast. That usually means a girl. BUT… :P Whichever you have, Natalie, would be AWESOME! God’s great! The baby will be amazing, no matter what gender!

    :D

  • Angie

    What a blessing to have twins and then another! That’s what we did… it is so much fun to have double the blessing, but “one” is wonderful! Either way, boy or girl it is so much fun to go out with one baby… single stroller, one high chair, etc. With us having the twins first, they were such big helpers with the baby and didn’t get jealous at all. They had each other and their friends. Now the twins are done with college… and our baby is in college. So thankful for that one!!! :) Also, having the twins was huge ordeal, in the hospital 3 weeks with preterm labor… c-section..with our singleton I had VBAC. I kept telling the nurses I could stand, walk, etc. It was such a blessing to have the twins, but also the one!!! Praying for a safe delivery! :)

    Hey girl! I had two boys first and then my girl. My first son I carried low, my second I carried high. My daughter I carried high as well. With my first son, I didn’t crave anything except some left over KFC (friend chicken and biscuits) one night… seriously, my mouth was watering and I couldn’t go back to sleep until I got up and nuked me some! lol. Anyway, my second son, I craved Taco Bell toward the end, and with my daughter, I craved Taco Bell for the whole first trimester – specifically – BEAN BURRITOS! I love them, but really, REALLY loved them then! With my first son, his heart rate was in the high 160′s to low 170′s, my second son was about the same, but a little lower, mid to high 160′s. My daughter was in the 150′s the whole pregnancy. Rarely was she ever into the 160′s. I didn’t have bad morning sickness with any of them. I started showing really quick with my first, didn’t start showing with my second until I was about 24 weeks. With my second, I started showing at about 24 weeks, but that’s mainly because I have gained A LOT of weight! :o ( I can’t really think of anything else as far as the differences in pregnancies goes.

    I did read an article that noted a theory that when pregnant women grave a particular type of food (e.g. orange juice, milk, chicken, etc.) that is because they need the nutrients that are found in that particular food; that our brains signal us to crave that food in an effort to gain the nutrients found in that food. Interesting. I also read an article which theorized that fetuses crave certain foods as well, and some cravings from mom come from the fetus. The article stated that some foods can change the taste of the amniotic fluid and the baby can get a taste for it and some things the baby can begin to crave. Very interesting!

    Hope you have a healthy pregnancy and easy and safe delivery. Best of luck, God bless!

  • Shannon

    I said pink… Simply from my gut! I closed my eyes and the very first image that came to my head was Gracie and Bella fawning over a teeny tiny girl! Like she was a living doll for them LOL. But I know your sweet girls would adore a baby brother as well! And while I’m sure hubby will be happy either way I’m sure he’d enjoy awesome “Boy’s Day Outs” with a son! Ooh CONGRATS!

    You will love, God’s gift no matter if its a girl or boy… congrats!

  • in Jesus Spirit of Mercy & Grace, Stacy Travis

    I’m guessing blue. I don’t really know why (except I was thinking of your other children). Like you said only GOD; the Creator of Heaven & earth knows. I would want to be surprised too (when I’m married & have chilren – or kids: I am 39), but I would also want to be able to plan. So who knows what I will do – the best thing about all of this is HE could call us up to meet HIM before that time happens with me! Keep Praising GOD (before, during, and after)!!!

  • ~Lauren~

    oohhhh i am so happy for you and your husband!!!! i almost forgot that you were pregnant. my mom told me not to long ago and i was excited!! the girls will have a friend to play with!! i think that it is a boy because you know boys, always causing trouble!! hehe :)

  • Tiffany M

    Congrats Natalie!!!! That’s awesome news! I hope it went well this week. I’m sure either way, the girls are excited about a new addition to the family!!! :) I’m very happy for y’all and praying for a great rest of the pregnancy for you! Big hugs to the girls!! My vote is boy though….;)

    much love!

  • crystal

    I think its a boy !! You need a mommys boy now :)

  • Angelgirl

    I vote a girl. Being a girl with two sisters (and a brother) I know it is so much fun! (most of the time…)
