A mother's instict?

People are always asking me if I know what I am having.  Every time but once I have managed to answer "I don't know" (the other time I said that I was having a baby but I felt bad for being so snarky...).  I know that people are wondering if we found out the sex of the baby during the ultrasound but people also ask if I have a sense of what we are having.  To be honest, I don't clue!  I haven't received any signs or symptoms that lead me to think one way or another.  Any dreams that I have had were all just about babies but those babies weren't identifiable by gender.  Our friends can't seem to reach a consensus either - everyone is pretty evenly split as to what they think it is.  Truly, I don't have any longings one way or the other.  I had always assumed that I would have a girl because I only have sisters but now I've had great exposure to some wonderful men (all of Scott's friends are amazing guys) and I would be just as happy to have a boy.  I think that finding out the gender of your baby after hours of painful labour and delivery must be one of the true joys in life and I greatly look forward to that moment.
