Hi Elle, My boys are 4 years apart. I absolutely love it! My oldest was so helpful, curious and loving with the baby. He was well grown out of the jealousy phase and soon after my LO was born the oldest went to pre-k so I had about 3 hours every day to just bond with the new born. It’s honestly the perfect situation. They are now 6 and 2 and they play endlessly together and my 2 year old just thinks my eldest hung the moon! Congrats! Sending lots of love.
I’m going for my first ever ultrasound after 2 early losses in a few hours. I’m 7 weeks, this is the longest I’ve made it. I’m taking your video as reassurance that everything is going to be okay 💕 congrats Elle! I’ve been following you forever and am so happy for you!!
My girls are 3 years and 10 months apart and they are the BEST of friends. I think Covid helped with that because they were stuck in the house together and no one else to play with, but they play with the same toys, their personalities are different but especially now at 3.5 and 7.5 they act more like 5 and 7 and the age gap is a dream. They also share a room and they love having that little partner as well.
Our kids will be 6 1/2 years apart. That was never my plan either to have my kids that far apart but we struggled to get pregnant for 5 years. I was sad about that but now I am enjoying talking to my almost 6 year old about the baby and seeing all the joy and excitement he is having over becoming a big brother. This was meant to be. ❤️
First off, this has been the best gender reveal video I have ever seen and I’m so happy for you!! I think you’re having a girl, for no specific reason other than intuition.
Oh Elle, I’m so happy for you! What a compassionate and beautiful mama. I’ve watched you since I was 18 (I’m 27 now!) and I feel like we’ve grown up together!
I completely agree, people shouldn’t expect you to keep trying until you get the other gender it’s so rude. Whatever you have is what you are meant to have and gender doesn’t really matter anyway. I have a boy and love him so much, they really are the sweetest💜
I remember dying to see your room tour in your LA apartment. Now I can’t wait for nursery decor for your second baby!!! So happy for you and your little family, Elle!
At the 13 minute mark and I wanna say girl, for the record Elle you have such a poker face through all of this. I feel like most people you can kind of tell what it is based off the reactions but I honestly have no clue…yet!
I totally thought it was the other sex, but I'm so excited for you! Honestly you shouldn't worry too much about the age gap. I have two sisters and one is 2 years older and the other is 5 years younger and I was always closer to my younger sister growing up because our personalities were more compatible.
Congratulations! I'm in the same situation with a 3 1/2 year old son, expecting a little brother three weeks before his 4th Birthday. We tried for a long time too and a part of me is disappointed by the age gap because my sister and I were four years apart and I wish we were closer in our childhood. I'm curious to know others' experiences and just have to trust that I'm getting the exact children and situation I was meant to have!
My guess is girl. I love how at the start of the video you mentioned gender identity and how it differs to sex etc and how you’re open minded about it. This baby and James are so lucky to have a supportive Momma like you 💕
Congratulations Elle! I'm due with our first baby, a little girl, at the end of February and I'm 24 weeks right now. I can't wait to see your ideas for the baby's nursery and it's so fun to go through this journey at the same time as you! Love love your perspective and I've been a subscriber since the beginning. Sending you love!
My older brother & I are 3.5 years apart & I think it’s the BEST because we are super close & have been my whole life! He was such a big help & it made life on my mamma easier
I thought girl before watching this but now I think boy based on the Chinese calendar because it was right for both of my babies and I’m convinced it’s right lol
I also wanted to include for me, and why my guess is a second boy, I am going on my 3rd girl so I just feel like it’s more common for the same sex for multiples but obviously I know it’s not, but for me it is at least!
Crying right now because I’m so happy for you Elle!! 💛 This baby is so wanted and so so loved by you already, you radiate happiness and thankfulness for this little life 💛 My older sister and I are 7 years apart and grew up very close! Once she got her license she drove me everywhere with her, we had so much fun! She is the best 🥰 James will be a wonderful big brother! 💛
I'm guessing girl based on how big you smiled when the results for the Chinese old wives' tale test said "boy" - something about the idea of this being a baby girl is also very poetic, given everything you've been through, so i'mma go with girl! a mini-elle with your strength and resilience
I wanted to say that I really appreciate the note about gender vs. sex and your openness to fluidity with that in the future. You’re an amazing mama and James and this baby are so lucky to have you! Also- I am the youngest of 3 girls and me and my sister are 3.5 years apart. We were pretty close growing up and we’re SUPER close now! We have always (even as kids!) had a far closer relationship than she has with our older sister, even though there’s a smaller age gap between those two. Closeness in age doesn’t always mean closeness in bond/relationship so even if it’s a bit bigger of a gap than you originally hoped for, I think this baby is the exact earth sibling James was meant to have and they have just as great of a chance as any other sibling duo to be besties! ❤️❤️ So happy for you, congratulations!
Omg Elle thank you so much for saying you're excited to raise your babies to be respectful. You and Alex are such sweet people and I'm excited for you and your journey. Thank you for sharing with us!!
We spaced our two kids by 3 1/2 years intentionally-I think it’s a great gap! The older child was at a point where she could be excited about being a big sister and loves to help out with her brother even though we never wanted to ask that of her specifically. I also felt like it gave me enough time to fully recover between pregnancies and feel ready. James is going to have a blast with the little one. Congrats, Elle!
Congratulations! We are about the same amount of weeks along and I found out I'm having another boy! I really was expecting a girl but I'm so happy to be having a boy. Mine will be 5 years apart.
I really appreciate that you recognized the difference between sex and gender. It's kind of exhausting these days trying to be correct based on changes in society. 🙄 I throw no shade to anyone though, to each their own! So happy for you!! 🥰👏❤🧡💛💚💙
100% leaning towards boy because your face is glowing, also just a little intuition, but regardless I’m hoping for a happy healthy baby ❤️ Congrats you guys!!
My intuition said girl as soon as you told us you were pregnant. I also just tried your Chinese Gender Calendar link and it told me that I would have had a boy with my last pregnancy. My baby girl turned 1 yesterday!
My brother and I are just under 4 years apart! We got along SO well, maybe with the exception of a few rough years when I was in high school and able to drive and had to take my middle school brother everywhere. 😂
I had to talk to my mama about you cause she saw me crying for you through your journey. I've watched you since I was 15. I'm 27 now. Our littles are only a month a part so I've always connected with you, your personality, and your life. I'm so so happy for you. ❤
Elle - I have been watching for ten years and I don't usually comment but I wanted to say how much it meant to me that you acknowledged the difference between sex and gender. Your videos meant a lot to me growing up and to hear you explicitly preach open mindedness on LGBTQ issues makes me really happy. Much love to you and your family during this time, so happy for you 💖💖
I think it's a boy. The reason why I think this is because where I come from we believe in the shape of the stomach. and you said it is pointy so I think boy.but whatever it is congratulations and I hope this baby comes healthy and I'm sure he or she will be so loved ! sending love to you and your family
OK! I have my screen minimized so that I can't see anything. Before the video - boy. During the video - boy. After the amazon test - girl! I have no clue! I really thought boy because of your glow. I'm going to finish the rest of the video to find out!!!
I’d love to hear what you last time that you plan on continuing with this baby and things that didn’t work that maybe you’d like to do different. Same for baby products what did you love with James and what are the things you want to try this time.
I think I commented on one of the other videos that you're going to have a boy. When you talked about the shoe size you also said "I hope this isn't going to happen again this time" so again, I was thinking boy. Not going to spoil what gender the baby actually has but boy oh boy, it was such a cute and fun way to reveal it. Loved the old wives tales. Ps: My baby is having the same gender as yours :-). I am due in the middle of February.
I will say that for me, four of the wives tales were true for me: my skin was great with my son and horrible with my daughter, I was way moodier with her, I had more headaches with my son, and I had hardly any morning sickness with my son, and a ton with my daughter! I'm guessing a lot of them have to do with estrogen versus testosterone! ETA: I'm guessing girl!
(Making sure not to spoil the gender here) but just wanted to share that my husband has twin brother and sister that are 3.5 years younger than him and he has nothing but great memories with them growing up, and he’s sooo close to them both now! He and his brother are actually best friends, and he sees his sister multiple times a week. :)
As an LGBT fan who has followed you for a long time I really appreciate your disclaimer about sex vs gender more than you know. Thank you for adding this 💜
Congratulations Elle!! I am in the same boat as you. I could cry watching you!! Growing up, I always thought I would have a daughter someday. Now I have two little boys 4 and 2. They are just beautiful. Everyone always asks me if we will try for a girl and I wish people would stop doing that. There will always be a part of me that is sad I won't have a daughter but I wouldn't trade my sons for anything. Your attitude is so positive and it's lovely to see. Happy for you!
I’m guessing another boy. I’m 35 weeks pregnant right now and had a feeling it was a girl early on and was right. Very excited for you one way or the other.
My momma gut says girl lol Although, I knew with my little one he was a boy and now I feel like I'm made for boys. The more I go along in this pregnancy I'm like yeah boys LOL So strange!!! So who even knows!
My guess is girl! I don't know why, I just had a feeling from the first video when you told us about this baby. Either way, huge congrats to you and your family! James will be such a wonderful big brother!

The pee test taking All That Glitters way too literally 🤣

I want it to be a girl but I think it'll be a boy especially because of the foot size tale and how your responded!
I completely agree, people shouldn’t expect you to keep trying until you get the other gender it’s so rude. Whatever you have is what you are meant to have and gender doesn’t really matter anyway. I have a boy and love him so much, they really are the sweetest💜

Aw, I love how you're wearing yellow so no hints 😉 congratulations to you all xx
My older brother & I are 3.5 years apart & I think it’s the BEST because we are super close & have been my whole life! He was such a big help & it made life on my mamma easier
Leave comments open!!!! Spoil or not! I watched it all the way through
My sister and I are just under four years apart and we are best friends. James and his sibling will be close!
Boy, cause you smiled really big after the Chinese thing said boy
I've thought girl this whole time, I don't know why but I hope we get to see a little mini you running around! Babies make me so excited, heck
I guess a boy! When you shared your ultrasound picture, I got a feeling based on babies head shape! So excited for you all xxx
I thought girl before watching this but now I think boy based on the Chinese calendar because it was right for both of my babies and I’m convinced it’s right lol
My sister and I are right under 4 years apart. I thought it was a good gap for us! :) happy for you!
My feeling from the beginning was "Girl". Let's see!
I also wanted to include for me, and why my guess is a second boy, I am going on my 3rd girl so I just feel like it’s more common for the same sex for multiples but obviously I know it’s not, but for me it is at least!
Crying right now because I’m so happy for you Elle!! 💛 This baby is so wanted and so so loved by you already, you radiate happiness and thankfulness for this little life 💛 My older sister and I are 7 years apart and grew up very close! Once she got her license she drove me everywhere with her, we had so much fun! She is the best 🥰 James will be a wonderful big brother! 💛
I feel it’s a baby girl based on your sentiments in prior video!
I'm guessing girl based on how big you smiled when the results for the Chinese old wives' tale test said "boy" - something about the idea of this being a baby girl is also very poetic, given everything you've been through, so i'mma go with girl! a mini-elle with your strength and resilience

Happy for you so much… I have a healthy son and also went through years of trying to get pregnant.. 5 years later i had another Baby boy
Oké this is hard. I've been going back and forth with all the updates but I'm putting boy in as my guess. I don't know why..
Omg Elle thank you so much for saying you're excited to raise your babies to be respectful. You and Alex are such sweet people and I'm excited for you and your journey. Thank you for sharing with us!!
Boy is my guess based on your videos and comments you made
My guess is a boy, because you are glowing and for the way you say you are carrying. Those were correct factors in all 3 of my pregnancies!
We spaced our two kids by 3 1/2 years intentionally-I think it’s a great gap! The older child was at a point where she could be excited about being a big sister and loves to help out with her brother even though we never wanted to ask that of her specifically. I also felt like it gave me enough time to fully recover between pregnancies and feel ready. James is going to have a blast with the little one. Congrats, Elle!
I'm a girl and I have 5 and 6 years apart with my brothers. We didn't really feel any age gap because we managed to do activities together!
Congratulations! We are about the same amount of weeks along and I found out I'm having another boy! I really was expecting a girl but I'm so happy to be having a boy. Mine will be 5 years apart.
I think it’s a girl! I have 2 boys-I love them so much! It’s so sweet to have 2 little boys. Your family will be perfect either way! 💞💓💙💙
I really appreciate that you recognized the difference between sex and gender. It's kind of exhausting these days trying to be correct based on changes in society. 🙄 I throw no shade to anyone though, to each their own! So happy for you!! 🥰👏❤🧡💛💚💙
!!!!congratulations!!!! I guessed wrong, but so happy for you!!!!
My sister and I are four years apart and we are very close and were close as kids!!
Totally think Girl!
100% leaning towards boy because your face is glowing, also just a little intuition, but regardless I’m hoping for a happy healthy baby ❤️ Congrats you guys!!
My intuition said girl as soon as you told us you were pregnant. I also just tried your Chinese Gender Calendar link and it told me that I would have had a boy with my last pregnancy. My baby girl turned 1 yesterday!
My guess is girl baby! 💗
I'm so happy for you! My gut was right. :) Let's just say I think the middle name is after one of your family members! I won't say who.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so, so happy for you!!! Literally cried happy tears like an idiot. 🙈🙈💕💕💕
My brother and I are just under 4 years apart! We got along SO well, maybe with the exception of a few rough years when I was in high school and able to drive and had to take my middle school brother everywhere. 😂
I guess boy. Probably because I wanted two boys. Either children are an amazing gift.
Before the video I thought it was a boy but as soon as you started talking I guessed girl!
I had to talk to my mama about you cause she saw me crying for you through your journey. I've watched you since I was 15. I'm 27 now. Our littles are only a month a part so I've always connected with you, your personality, and your life. I'm so so happy for you. ❤

Clicked so fast! So so happy for you and your family Elle!
I'm so happy for you, Elle! This is wonderful wonderful news and I am thrilled for you and your family!
I’m having the same as you and I think we are just a few days apart, I’m due April 12th! I’m so excited for you ❤️
I think it's a boy. The reason why I think this is because where I come from we believe in the shape of the stomach. and you said it is pointy so I think boy.but whatever it is congratulations and I hope this baby comes healthy and I'm sure he or she will be so loved ! sending love to you and your family

Ps: My baby is having the same gender as yours :-). I am due in the middle of February.
Such a fun video! Can’t wait to see videos of the guest room to nursery renovation.
Congratulations!!!! I had no ideas!
Congratulations to you! I am beyond happy!
My guess is boy. Idk, it was just the first that came to mind and I have a pretty good record of guessing.
My gut says girl. I have a toddler boy and a baby girl and based on your videos about early pregnancy I think girl! 💕
I will say that for me, four of the wives tales were true for me: my skin was great with my son and horrible with my daughter, I was way moodier with her, I had more headaches with my son, and I had hardly any morning sickness with my son, and a ton with my daughter!
I'm guessing a lot of them have to do with estrogen versus testosterone!

He and his brother are actually best friends, and he sees his sister multiple times a week. :)
I’ve thought boy since you first announced. Dying to see what this precious little love will be!
Oh Elle I’m so excited for you!!!
Guessing girl. Is my gut feeling- no idea why
Girl! I was super sick, moody, and emotional with my daughter and not my son..
Girl!! Final guess
So excited for you!! Congratulations to you and your family!! 🎉
My mom has 3 daughters and 2 grandsons I have 5 nephews total
Girl! Momma intuition!
As an LGBT fan who has followed you for a long time I really appreciate your disclaimer about sex vs gender more than you know. Thank you for adding this 💜
We stan a Trans Ally Queen!! 🙌🏻Thank you for being open about your stance on trans rights.
I usually click on the comment section in this kind od videos to know already and here nobody spoiled it! I have to watch it all :)
So excited for you elle! You deserve only the best! Congratulations!!!
My boys are 3 years and 10 months apart. I feel this was perfect for our family. They are close enough in age but far enough apart!
Congratulations Elle!! So happy for you and you family! Can’t wait to meet James’s new sibling!! Prayers for a happy healthy baby!!
I’ve thought girl on every loss and also in this pregnancy! No clue why!!
Congratulations Elle!! I am in the same boat as you. I could cry watching you!! Growing up, I always thought I would have a daughter someday. Now I have two little boys 4 and 2. They are just beautiful. Everyone always asks me if we will try for a girl and I wish people would stop doing that.

I am so happy for you and Alex! I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well! Can't wait for baby #2!💙🤍
This was such a fun idea! Congratulations!! I am guilty of thinking exactly what you talked about at the end of the video.
So I’ve been thinking it’s a girl, girl, girl. But then as you were talking in this video I was thinking hmmm maybe boy. I’m excited to find out!
My guess is girl!! 🎀🎀🎀 no specific reason though I just think it would be amazing to have one of each ❤️
My guess is boy. Because there was a video I remember a long time ago you had a feeling you would have the same! I trust mama instinct.
I'm thinking girl, cause you look extra happy and excited!
I’m guessing another boy. I’m 35 weeks pregnant right now and had a feeling it was a girl early on and was right. Very excited for you one way or the other.
Congratulations Elle, so happy for you and Alex!! 💓💗❤️
I wanted it to be the other gender but I knew it was what it was. I’m so happy for you!
My momma gut says girl lol Although, I knew with my little one he was a boy and now I feel like I'm made for boys. The more I go along in this pregnancy I'm like yeah boys LOL So strange!!! So who even knows!
My guess is girl! I don't know why, I just had a feeling from the first video when you told us about this baby. Either way, huge congrats to you and your family! James will be such a wonderful big brother!
I have felt very strong girl vibes from the announcement video, I am eager to hear what it is!
