Today is the day we get to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl! We found out at 16 weeks with Kylie, but decided to wait until 20 weeks with this one. With Kylie, I always had this gut feeling that she was a girl so I was super excited when I found out she was one. I have to say that I haven't had any sort of feeling about what this baby is so I am very curious to find out. Scott and I are both fine with whatever gender it is. It would be fun to have a boy so that we will have one of each, but it would also be fun for Kylie to have a sister. We can't wait to find out!
Like with Kylie, I decided to look at the ways to guess your baby's gender.
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: Boy
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: Boy
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 (147 at the latest appointment...although the baby was moving so much that the doctor had a hard time getting a really good heartbeat.)
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 an IV for heavens sake!)
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: Undetermined (This one is a little confusing because I got pregnant at age 28 and then turned 29 this year, so when I put in my birthday, it would go off the fact that I'm 29, which would be a girl. However, some charts I've looked at will say boy and go off of the fact that I was 28 when pregnant. I'm not sure which one is the original one as there's so many different ones out there now.)
