This is my 3rd bub. I had a strong motherly instinct with the sex of my first two kids, and I was right. So much so, that I forgot to look at the 'package' when my first baby was born (my son). After baby was taken away for measurement and bath etc, I asked for somebody to confirm the sex. The gyno pick up my boy with legs curled up... All I could see was his back, bum, then balls.

I remember smiling, rolling over and sleeping.

Anyway. I'm confident I'm having a boy this time. It won't matter to me because I have a pigeon pair already, but this is my partner's first and maybe only kid. His parents passed away before I met him. His only other relative in Australia is his brother, but he has no kids either. My partner resigned himself to thinking he and his brother just can't have kids. He will be 46 years when the baby is due (I'm 37). I'm sure he'll love either a son or daughter, but I know deep down he'd like a son to carry on the family name. I personally don't see the importance of this if there's nothing to gain from being an heir? It's not as though either of us come from Royalty.

My next ultrasound is set for 26 November and can't wait to find out what it is. In the meantime, I'm sticking to unisex colours.
