boy or girl? {& a giveaway}

This giveaway is now closed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you probably know, I am SUPER excited to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl at our next sono on January 27th. I don't really have any predictions or preferences.  I have no idea how I would know what I'm having because all the things like heart rates, being sick or not, and Chinese gender charts are all "old wives tales".  I have no preferences, because I feel like it doesn't really matter what you have for your first baby.  A healthy baby is all we are praying for. Boy or girl, it doesn't matter to me.  I'm just excited to finally know!!  

I came across a fun little opportunity to "find out" what we are having a little early.  I say "find out" because this fun little opportunity is only 80% accurate.  

My longtime friend/college roommate/maid of honor, Brittany, works for a company called Splash Media.  They do social media marketing.  One of Brittany's new clients happens to be Intelligender.

{IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test is the fun pre-birth experience moms are talking about! You can discover whether you’re having a boy or girl as early as 10 weeks pregnant along. It is a urine-based test that is easy to perform in the privacy of your home, with results ready in minutes!  IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test bridges the curiosity gap between conception and sonogram.}

Brittany immediately thought of me whenever she took on this new client, so look who I got a little package from in the mail today!!
 As you can see they sent me not just one but TWO Gender Prediction Tests.
I'll be using mine sometime this week and I'll be giving the other one to one of you {or someone you know}!!

Here's how you can enter to win......
{You have 3 chances to win. So make sure you leave 3 separate comments!} 

1.  Follow my blog, and leave me comment telling me that you do! 
{You have to be an "official follower" through Google Friend Connect.  All you have to do is click Follow on the left hand side of my blog and log in! You will not be eligible to win if I don't see you as one of my followers.}

2.  Leave a comment guessing whether you think we are having a boy or a girl!

3.  Tell me who you know that would love to have a Gender Prediction Test! 
{If you are not pregnant and don't know anyone that is pregnant, you can totally say that you are going to take it for yourself to use in the future.  It doesn't expire until 12-2012!}

I'll be announcing the results to our test and the winner of the giveaway on
Friday, January 21st!!

Good luck!!

  27. You should have made this my bday present!!! Of course you know I follow you, you're my sister in law! I think it's boy, I've thought that since the minute you told me you were pregnant! We'll see how right I am in a couple of weeks. I want this test for myself, obviously. I still have 6 more weeks until I find out and it's KILLING me to wait.

  28. I'm writing you again because the first time I put all of my answers in one comment like a dummy. I can't wait to know if it's a boy or girl. I want to start shopping since I won't know about me for a few more weeks.

  29. I want to win this because I am too cheap to buy one of these tests for me. I think they run from $10-$30
