We are so excited to be able to find out so soon! I didn't think it would be until March that we would be able to find out, but they said that starting at 16 weeks, you can find out the gender. Anyways, Scott & I knew that there were these "myths" or ways to guess your baby's gender before you officially find out. So, we looked up some online for fun and here is what we found out.
Guess #1: Position of the bump--This is one that I'm not sure about yet because I don't think my tummy is large enough to notice if I'm carrying high (girl) or low (boy). We'll find out if it's true later! Verdict: Undetermined
Guess #2: Craving sweet or sour: They say that if you are craving sweets often, then you are having a girl and if you crave salty & sour foods, then you are having a boy. Verdict: Girl
Guess #3: Skin changes: If you have glowing skin, then you are having a boy and if acne is popping up everywhere, then you are having a girl because she is stealing your beauty (haha). Verdict: Girl
Guess #4: Heartbeats per minute: If the heartbeat is below 140, then it's a boy and if it's above 140 beats per minute, then it's a girl. Verdict: Girl (156 at the latest appointment)
Guess #5: Morning sickness: If your first trimester was unbearable (throwing up constantly), then you can blame your little girl. If morning sickness wasn't that bad, then you can thank your little boy. Verdict: Girl (Um yeah, no question about this one. I had to get some medication to help with the constant nausea and throwing up)
Guess #6: Different sizes: It is said that if your right breast is bigger than your left, then your baby's a boy. If your left breast is larger than your right, then your baby's a girl. Verdict: Girl
Guess #7: Motion of your wedding ring: What you do is tie your wedding ring to a string and hang it in front of your belly. If your ring swings in a circular motion, you are having a boy. If it swings back and forth, you are having a girl. Verdict: Boy
Guess #8: Ancient Chinese birth chart: There is this chart that you can look at that bases your baby's gender prediction on the mom's age and the month of conception. Verdict: Girl (If I was 25 or 27, then I would be having a boy. I'm 26.)

What do you think? Baby Boy or Baby Girl??
My vote is girl! Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you! I miss that first semester! I still think of our peanut butter wall. Hahaha! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking girl for a while now!!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, this is a tough one! I was thinking girl at first, but then I switched to boy. So pretty much, undecided, but I will guess girl anyway!! Sky says boy, though.
ReplyDeleteI think I thought girl at first, but now I'm feeling boy. A lot of those myths pointed to me having a girl, but I totally had a boy. I can't wait for you to find out!
