Brady and Bundchen having a boy...or girl

Now that Tom Brady has confirmed that his wife Gisele Bundchen is expecting, speculation has turned to the sex of the child. The National Enquirer swears it's a boy. And, citing an unnamed "pal," the tabloid even reports the baby's name, Gabriel, chosen in part because Gisele has a sister named Gabriela. ("Gisele was brought up a Roman Catholic, and Gabriel is an archangel, a messenger from God, in the New Testament," the pal tells the Enquirer.) But hold on. While the Enquirer is sometimes right - yes, John Edwards did father a baby with a woman who wasn't his wife - it's also wrong occasionally. And this, according to someone close to Bundchen, is one of those occasions. Our source says Gi is not having a boy. "If it is not a boy, what other options do we have? Lol," she wrote in an email. Guess we'll just have to wait until the baby arrives in December. Brady, of course, already has a 2-year-old son, John, whose mom is the QB's ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
