I have a strong feeling I will be joining you as a mom of 4 boys. I haven't scheduled my scan yet, but it'll be around the middle of February. I keep going back and forth between wanting to know RIGHT NOW and wanting to put it off as long as possible. I had an appointment yesterday, and I was very happy to hear a good, strong heartbeat, but my OB said a few things that made me think boy more than ever. For on, baby was way to the right of my belly. I know Ramzi only counts in the early, early weeks, and it's based on where the placenta implanted, not were baby is hanging out, but the cord can't be very long at this point, so baby can't be too far from the placenta. And I told her I was hungry all the time, and she said "oh, boy moms are hungry like that." I know that is just an old wives tale (haven't heard that one, actually) but it still got to me. And I am having some problems with my skin, and she mentioned another mom she knows with two boys who had a similar problem when pregnant. So nothing concrete, but I left the appointment feeling that it's boy #4 for me.
