HOW WOULD YOU KNOW
Although I am completely humbled by the generosity and excitement of friends and family over this baby, I am a little fatigued from it all. I am especially tired of people rubbing my melon belly like it's some kind of crystal ball while telling me, a) it's definitely a girl/boy or b) it's going to be a nine pound baby.
Please, do not practice your augury on womb.

What a great word - augury! Haven't seen that since I learned to read tea leaves in Burundi.
Also, what does it mean that my word verification word to leave this comment is: ovenisay. Oven, I say. Talk about augury.

LOL! Just wait. Everyone who guessed the right sex of the baby will remind you that they "told you so". Big deal, they had 50/50 odds going in. Gee, it's not like they're Carnac the Magnificent.
I hope everything is going well. :)

If I could I would just rub your belly and keep my guess a secret.

Don't know if this is your intent Anon, but your comment comes off sounding, well, a wee bit creepy.
Just a tiny bit.
I'm just saying...

Sorry. You're right. Didn't mean to come across that way. Last year my wife was annoyed be all the belly rubbing and guessing too. I told her if, a big if, I ever rubbed another pregnant woman's belly I would just keep my comments to myself. I guess I should have here too. I'm very happy for you though!!
