I always thought people would always say “he” when they didn’t know the sex of the baby. I’ve seen this used in movies and books.

No offense, but you don’t have to be “stupid” to slip up. I didn’t want anyone to know what the sex of my child was but once I found out for myself, I kept referring to my baby as “he”(and I, in fact, had a boy). After that, I kept telling myself I wouldn’t spill his name… soon enough, I started calling him by name to people. It’s something that happens. Who knows, she really could be just throwing us off. We won’t know ’til the little one is here:)

Amanda, lola, and mn- ITA! Come on, Jessica’s not stupid, and, like Amanda said, you don’t just slip that many times. True, Jennifer Garner and Christina Aguilera DID slip…But Christina caught herself almost immeditely and I think Jennifer may have as well. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Jennifer even admitted her slip when she caught herself (Christina simply giggled and said, “We’ll see!” when asked to confirm that she was expecting a boy after her slip).

Poppy Montgomery also slipped….and immediately admitted it. Anyway, as mn pointed out, lots of people refer to their unborn baby as “he” regardless of whether or not they know the sex. Understandably, most people are uncomfortable referring to the baby as “it” and “he or she” would get to be kind of a mouthful after awhile.

While I personally agree with Nicole that if I knew I was having a girl, I couldn’t continually say “he”. However, we must keep in mind that we are “regular” people, not celebrities. Most celebs are probably used to having to tell little white lies to throw off the press or protect their privacy.

jen, I don’t think it’s necessarily because everyone got excited and posted before reading. A lot of times there is a delay in getting the posts up since they have to be approved. I know there have been several times that I made a comment that was the same as someone else’s but it was just because when I posted mine theirs wasn’t showing up yet.

I am going to find it really funny if she has a girl! I don’t think she would spill the beans that easily. She is too smart for that.

She might just be trying to throw everybody off, by referring to the baby as a he. That being said I have thought from the start she is having a boy, so I still think she is.

i’ve always found that for some reason a lot of people automatically refer to their unborn child as a “he” whether or not they know what they’re having. it’s probably just society’s tendency to think of the world in male terms (yes that’s changing but very slowly). plus it would probably get annoying to say “he or she” all the time, and using “it” just seems a bit cold.

Ok 4 x’s she referred to the baby as ‘he or him’. She said ‘kid or child’ 5 x’s. Makes you wonder if she accidently spilled the goss lol or she just doesn’t want to say the term ‘it’. I can understand that!! ‘He’ is more used as a pronoun in general more so than ‘She’ so maybe that’s what she doing just saying ‘He’ instead of ‘it’.

I also think it is a slip of the tongue. I think IT will be a BOY.

They are both so beautiful! She just glows! This might be a really stupid, off-topic question…but what does Cash Warren do? Is he an actor?
