It's always a source of debate. "Do you know what you're having?" has been a repeatedly asked question of late - so much so that I found out just so I could reply in the affirmative. That and we wanted to avail of the January sales... and end the baby name debate... and mainly because we wanted to stop calling the baby "it". And because I have no patience.

Evidently the Rooney's felt the same way, and have revealed the news after having a scan yesterday (20.12.12), confirming the sex of the child.

26-year-old Colleen  tweeted: "Absolutely loved seeing our baby on the scan yesterday!!! We decided to find out the sex...... It's a ..... BOY!! So exciting (sic)."

So that means three-year-old Kai will have a wee brother to boss about in the coming years.

Coleen announced her pregnancy in October, when she told her twitter followers: "A few people guessed, so news is out ha!! Me wayne and Kai are thrilled that we are expecting a new addition to our family around May time x (sic). It's still only early but bursting with excitement! Also wanted the news to come from us, before anyone else! (sic)"

Coleen has previously admitted she would love to have a large family, saying: "I'd like to have maybe three or four children. I'd be happy to be a full-time mum."

Manchester United ace Wayne, 27, and Coleen married in Italy in 2008 after a five year engagement and he was at her bedside as she gave birth to Kai. Which was the least he do given he was cavorting with two hookers when she was four months pregnant.

A source said at the time: "Wayne was a star with Coleen. He didn't leave her side from the moment she came into the hospital. When Coleen gave birth, Wayne's eyes welled up. As soon as he was handed the baby, the tears began."
