What do you think: Boy or Girl?

Now that we have announced our pregnancy, everyone has asked if we will find out the sex. 
My answer: DUH
I hate not knowing.  I need to be prepared.  I need to know if we need to go buy boy clothes or if we're set with the bins and bins of girl clothes in the basement.  I just need to mentally prepare myself.

We will be finding out soon (I'm not saying when exactly because then everyone will be asking on that date. Don't worry, we'll announce). I thought it would be fun to take a little poll to see what everyone else thinks :)

I'm notoriously wrong for guessing sex/gender.  I'm never right.  I was only right with my brother-in-law and his wife.  I thought C was a boy (or I had at least convinced myself she was).  With this baby I have no inclination either way.

So here's a little comparison between C's pregnancy and baby número dos:

Symptoms with C:
  • chronic back pain (from the first trimester on, it was awful)
  • no nausea except for one day in week 16
  • loved sweets and french fries
  • insomnia and fatigue
  • still had lots of energy: ran into week 22, walked 5-6 miles a day until week 39
  • heartburn towards the end
  • Chinese calendar said Girl
  • high heartbeat always over 140 (girl)

Symptoms with número dos:
  • nausea throughout first and into second trimester (only after eating)
  • no appetite
  • super moody
  • can't eat lots of sugar - nausea
  • can't eat for more a few bites of chocolate - heartburn 
  • so tired all the time
  • Chinese calendar says Boy
  • Ramzi theory says Boy
  • high heartbeat always over 140, usually 160-170 (old wives' tale says girl)
  • horrible skin and breakouts 
  • headaches

I know that every pregnancy is different, so all these symptoms are no indication of sex/gender, but it's SO different from C's pregnancy.

So what do you think?
BOY or GIRL?
