The other day Adeleigh's daycare provider called me to say, "Well, I was going to tell you to keep it a secret, but Adeleigh has been telling me all morning what you're having. So, Congratulations!"
Me - "We haven't even had our ultrasound yet. We have no idea what we're having!"
Her - "Seriously? She says it with such conviction. I totally believed her! She said that she's having a baby sister!"
Me - "Yes. She really wants a baby sister. No. We have no idea yet."
Her - "Well, maybe she knows something no one else does! So, now I can say it. Please keep it a secret from me! I want to be surprised!"

I've added a poll to the right side of my blog, so please feel free to tally whatever your intuitions might be. I'd be curious to hear!
If you have "no hunch", here are a few tidbits to take into consideration:
- According to a friend's Chinese calendar apps, every single one says we're having a boy.
- According to our realtor's "psychic" calculations, if the baby is born in September, it will be a girl; October, it will be a boy. (Due date is October 5th and babies in my gene pool tend to come early, including Adeleigh. She was born 3 days early.)
- Side note - Our realtor is not really a psychic. But when it comes to predicting gender, she claims to be right 100% of the time.
- Between all of my siblings, we collectively have 5 girls and 4 boys.
- I have had many more migraines with this pregnancy than with my first, my morning sickness lasted longer, and I break out more. Many people tell me this is probably because it's a boy. However, some of the Old Wives Tales suggest these symptoms are likely because it's a girl.
- In fact, if you believe in the Old Wives Tales, they lean slightly more towards girl.
- Before we had the ultrasound with Adeleigh, I wholeheartedly thought she was going to be a boy.
- Side note - She wasn't :)
- Adeleigh says with conviction that it's a girl.
To be continued...
