    Oh yeah, baby must have been holding on for you, you wanted it after today I remember now! I had a funny feeling this morning that it's a boy... I'm not very good at predicting these things though!

    Lol - I haven't a clue myself what it will be! Most people seem to be predicting a girl but who knows. I am usually good at the predictions but am useless with own baby
