We were talking about all of the kids' cousins, whom we will see at Christmas time.
Me: And Uncle Tommy & Aunt Dwija are having a little boy a little before our baby is born, so we'll see him too!
Andrew (5): You mean they already know it's a boy? How?
Me: Yes. Do you remember that thing my midwife put on my tummy and we could see the baby on a little TV? Well, they can sometimes see if the baby is a boy or girl.
Lucy (8): yeah, they look at the...
Me: Wait, let Andrew answer. Andrew, how do you think they can tell if it's a boy or girl?
Andrew: They can tell by the face!

Oh of course, that's how you tell! Tee hee.
We had the same discussion when we were expecting our last baby. We told the kids it was a girl, and one of the little one's wanted to know how we could tell. My second daughter said, "It's easy, you can tell by the hair. If it's long, it's a girl, if they don't have any it's a boy." Many of the children were horrified to learn they actually LOOK at the "privates" to tell the gender.
Andrew at first suggested that they look for long hair or a bow, but then remembered that his younger sisters did not have hair or bows when they were born.
