well that is definitely a possiblity considering the recent upgrades in latent-turboprogressive-manifold Ultrasounds. I guess time will tell.

Technology is a wonderful thing.

absolutely. we saw our twins' first ultrasound when they could only be seen as tiny beating hearts only a couple of weeks after conception. however, an ultrasound in the first trimester is an unreliable (but not impossible) way to determine gender--if the kid holds still long enough and you get "just the right" image you can get lucky and tell the sex, but it has a much higher probability of being correct in the second trimester. the test that she might have had this early in a (reported) three month pregnancy that would permit gender identification with 100% certainty is a Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS), which can be done as early as week 10 or 11. the test basically tests cells from the placenta for genetic abnormalities. amniocentesis can't be done until around week 16.

Here is the link. It was also mentioned very quickly on Fox & Friends this morning so I did a quick search. She is buying blue blankets, blue clothes and airplane picture frames...Looks like Tom is going to have a son.

What would we do if we didn't have you to keep us up to date on the latest celebrity baby and dating gossip, Drew.

Have you ever considered posting the things you see mentioned on Fox & Friends in the Pub? Where people should go to talk about non football related stuff like the potential sex of celebrity babies...

We have our QB for 2030.

They can tell at 10 weeks. They can tell for sure with CVS at 11 weeks. 1 week ultrasound, most good ultrasound techs can do it (right, if the baby is in the right position). At 11 weeks with CVS< it's 99% guarantee.

I think my opinion has already been stated but let me say it anyway

Sign baby Brady

And given Moynihan's age, I'm sure someone would have recommended CVS/amnio (since children born to older women have higher rates of chromosomal disorders).

I thought they said she was AT LEAST three months along.

They can give ultrasounds at any time. Sex determination is unreliable up until about weeks 18-20...BUT I have heard of people getting the sex of their child determined at around 14-16 weeks. It's easier to tell it's a boy than a girl.

Anyway, congrats to Bridget. Buying the baby stuff is one of the best parts of the early going.

eta: Oh, yeah and a CVS (done around 11 weeks ) is almost 100% accurate. I didn't have that test, though.
