I'm guessing its a boy.
Like a good neighbor, stay over there!

First of all - Congratulations on the baby! I hope you and your hubby will be much happy, and that your baby grow healthy and strong ♡
Now, I'm willing to guess it might be a girl! c:
Literally no one is going to know the correct answer for years, so I'm not participating this week.

I GOT TO FIND OUT TODAY!
I'll leave this open for everyone until Thursday - but I wanted to share the good news :)
You have 2 more days to enter for a chance to win this week!
**Also, I wanted to note real quick that this challenge has seemed to spark some discussion with the whole gender thing. I seriously mean no disrespect to the various gender identifications, and I apologize if this challenge has upset anyone. I do hope that this will not deter you from coming back each week to keep participating in events. Love to all - this community as a whole is just so wonderful! ***
Well, currently, there's a 50/50 chance, so I'll go with girl for now.
Hi Evalynn congrats on your baby <3 like everyone I wish you all good things! I've a feelings that your little one's have a peepee XD
That's awesome! So great that you got to find out <3
Wow. People are bringing politics into a friendly giveaway? Jeez. That sucks. There's a time and place, and this isn't it. Just wish the lady a happy birth of a healthy baby and move on.
CONGRATS!
And my birthday is on 21st feb, so me and your baby is sharing same birthday month! <3 I dont know why i'm so excited about this xD
I'm not really going after the prize though, but since i'm posting something, i'm guessing issa girl! <3
I will guess girl but for some reason I think boy as well, as someone mentioned this year mostly everyone I knew except one had a boy lol.
It's a beautiful moment when you find out <3
Thank you to whoever sent me the anon gift and kind message <3 I love it!
I'm very impressed with how you handled the comments above. I feel like you are in no way implying that you will not allow the child to express whatever gender they -are- but until you know that, I'm gonna guess a girl. :D <3
- A really sweet giveaway that you guys might want to be a part of and continue to participate as the weeks go by :)
(edited, as I was misunderstood and am a gender identity advocate and ally.)
Congrats on the bundle of joy! I'm thinking it's going to be a girl :)

Thank you! I did my profile myself :) so I really appreciate that!
I'm going to guess female!
With regards to the discourse, respectfully, if we're talking semantics, fine, we may not know the gender but we will know the biological sex of the baby (with some certain exceptions). I appreciate your mature responses in this thread, Evalynn, and I'm excited to find out the result of this week's challenge!

I'm really happy for you, clearly you already love your child and I think that's one of the most important parts of being a parent. I meant to bring up the gender discussion as just that, a discussion. While focus on binary gender of a future human makes me mildly uncomfortable, it's also a good excuse to celebrate the future human.
I'm really glad you reacted as you did cause you showed openness and a willingness to listen which is rare and important. I absolutely don't want to take away from your happiness with what's going on as your pregnancy keeps going. You're bringing another person into this world and that's still something I can barely wrap my mind around. I wish you all the best and will be hella continuing with this event.

Nobody's putting anyone down and Evalynn even friended me :)
Neither nor nor I wants to put anyone down or diminish anyone's joy.
But while I'm cis, I have so so so so many trans friends that I've watched go through a lot of unnecessary crap, and I can't blame anyone at all for politely expressing their nuanced discomfort with the idea of assigning a gender to a baby not just at birth, but even before the baby is born! The other thing about gendering babies is that so often, a parent wants to give the baby whose biological sex is the same as their own the upbringing that they wish they had had.
In my case, that meant enduring loud arguments with my mother about NOT wanting my hair cut in a short practical style, NOT wanting to wear pants or jeans, and my love of frills and lace and ruffles. My mother's determination to put me in primary colours and not in the clothes that she hated when she was a kid (the ones I loved) only cemented my personal tastes and set me on the path to being the Lolita fashionista I am today, LOL. She couldn't see that lace and ruffles aren't what made her uncomfortable as a kid, it was not being listened to and allowed to have what she wanted.
Gendering babies isn't just about reinforcing the gender binary, it's also about gender presentation, which is why you see little (presumed) boys who can't even walk yet wearing clothing that looks like sports uniforms whether or not they are going to grow up to like sports.
I don't think it does any harm to dress a tiny baby in whatever you think looks cute on that tiny baby, regardless of biological sex or birth gender assignment. Once kids start to show preferences, though...go with 'em, whether or not they fit into any standard gender presentation templates?
But I always worry that parents are living in the past a bit, trying to give their kids the gender presentation support that they personally wanted, rather than what the kid wants. I knew when I was a child that I could grow up to do any job I wanted to do. I just wanted to do it in a frilly dress. I'd have been the ideal kid for Evalynn, my mom, not so much. :D
I'm sure that Evalynn will be a GREAT mom. She's shown that she's open to whoever her child becomes.
I just think maybe people who are saying these conversations aren't really necessary should consider that all the hullaballoo surrounding a baby's biological sex/perceived gender at birth might be a teensy bit uncomfortable for trans people, non-binary people and even cis people who did not like or want what their parents wanted them to like, whether the parent was going off "traditional" or "feminist" notions. And it's better to say something very kindly and politely than to sit and feel unhappy and be reminded of difficult times.
