What are you doing re: baby sex?

[joolz]

I'm curious! And if you wish to advise of names you're considering you could ALSO do that here.

[joolz]

I am not finding out what kind of baby it is until it's pulled from my loins.

[wkatie]

I want to find out, like yesterday. They wouldn't even take a guess at my NT scan at 13 weeks. Bawk bawk!

I've only thought of girls names, mostly because I have a boy already and boy names are HARD. So far I like Lucy, Charlottle, Amelia and Amy.

[adlove]

I wish I was laid back enough to wait until the birth to find out but there's just no way! If one day we already have a boy and a girl and are having a third, I MIGHT be able to.

For names, we already picked out middle names with family significance (Lauren for girl, Fox for boy) but first names are a total toss up at this point.

[iheartvino]

We are absolutely finding out what the baby is. H and I can't keep secrets and we're terribly impatient, so it wasn't a hard decision to make.

[joolz]

Katie, you should be jealous of me then because the Dr at my first trimester screening offered to tell us and we said no way!

Adl, I sort of love Fox as a middle name.

Most of you know our girl name will be Beatrix. The only boy name we've even considered (so far) is Calder. I think both of those match with Grayson (current child).

I AM jealous!

Is Beatrix pronounced Bee-trix or Be-uh-trix? Like Beatrix Potter? I'm not sure if I pronounce that correctly. I have never heard of Calder before, but I think both of those go well with Grayson.

[joolz]

Bee-trix, although both are correct! We would probably just call her Bea. Calder means rocky waters, and also is the name of a hockey cup given out to the AHL champion.

[adlove]

Thanks joolz! My grandfather was a jazz musician and his nickname was Foxx. I love it, but we'll probably use the "Fox" spelling.

Beatrix is so cute!

[alzi]

We came up with names for both. We didn't find out!

[alzi]

Also, I had to come into this post bc I was curious where I could go with a title like baby sex lol

[joolz]

ALZI. You know gender isn't the correct term, sex is. So what was I supposed to DO? Haha.

Yes, what is up with this. I remember hearing something about how gender is not the correct term, so I always say "sex." Although I really do not know why. I'm such a sheep. Enlighten me, please.

[emisi]

We found out, it's a boy. Anyone still want to vote on our names, they're in the link in my sig. Boy names ARE hard.

Sex is the biological term for the male or female anatomy you are born with. Gender is what you identify with (feminine or masculine).

Thanks, I thought it was something to this effect. I think if I happen to say gender instead of sex in the future I won't feel like a total dummy. I'm about as liberal and PC as they come, but I don't think the term gender is offensive, just maybe not exactly correct. Right?

I like Milo and Pierce! I don't hate any of the names, but I really like those two.

So funny, because I think girl names are HARD. I haven't looked at your list but I love Miles (Milo is close enough that I feel I can say that).

[Deleted]

We don't know yet. We're finding out Jan 7. We have Scarlett and Miles picked out

I knowwww. I just giggled at the title.

[joolz]

Oh, I know you know. It does sound silly! I wanted to be correct though. Come correct, am I right?

[emisi]

Ha, I admit, I came into this thread wondering if it was some question about having sex while pregnant, just awkwardly worded.

And thanks for validating me ladies, Milo and Pierce are my current favorites.

[callie]

We're waiting until their born to find out the sex. We don't have a girls name picked but we like Miles for a boy.

[sewf]

Our baby is a boy, and his name is Malcolm George. There was no way in hell I was not finding out!

Joolz I love both of those names.

Now that we know what we're having I guess I can start buying some stuff and finalizing nursery plans. So far anything pink I see is giving me hives.

Eek I keep looking at pink things too and shudder. I really like teal and purple but not together

[joolz]

Thanks, greentea!

[sake]

We found out. We only had girl names picked, and it is a boy. After having 15 weeks of time to think of boy names, we decided on Grant Marshal Lastname.
Marshal is my deceased grandpa's name, and h really likes the name, so we picked it for a middle name.

[countthestars]

We won't find out. We have first names but not middles yet.

[iamgrace]

I am undecided. We found out with Henry, and I did sort of feel like I wished I'd waited.
