A few old wives’ tales to ponder…

Two weeks from today we’ll have the big ultrasound. While I can honestly say I don’t care if we’re having a boy or a girl, I can’t wait to know one way or the other. I feel like the pregnancy will be even more real at this point and I think knowing will help me bond with the baby. Oh, and I'm ready to shop!

I posted a gender poll to the right. I’m curious to see what everyone thinks we’re having. From day one I said I was having a boy. But nearly every baby dream has been of baby girls. Since my intuition isn’t all that reliable, I’ve taken a few quizzes based on old wives’ tales. Don’t worry. I don’t believe these aren’t reliable, but they’re fun.

Here’s the run down:

According to the Chinese gender predictor, I’m having a girl.

According to the ring trick, I’m having a boy (it spins in circles, not side to side)

According to the wives tale survey I took, I have a 35 percent chance of having a boy and a 65 percent chance of having a girl. Here’s why:

*You are carrying the extra weight out front, so it's a boy.
*The hair on your legs is not growing any faster during your pregnancy, so it's a girl.
*Girls are carried high. You are going to have a girl.
*Sleeping in a bed with your pillow to the north indicates that you will be having a boy.
*Your feet are not colder than they were before pregnancy. You are having a girl.
*Dad-to-be hasn't been gaining weight along with Mom-to-be, so it will be a girl.
*The maternal grandmother doesn't have gray hair (dyed or natural), so a girl will be born.
*You didn't have morning sickness early in pregnancy, so it will be a boy.
*Your chest development has not been very dramatic during pregnancy. You should expect a boy.
*Since the sum of the mother's age at conception and the number of the month of conception is an odd number, it will be a girl.
*Your urine is a bright neon yellow color, so you will have a boy.
*You are craving sweets, which means that it is a girl.
*Your nose hasn't changed during pregnancy, which indicates a girl.
*You have been craving fruits, so it is a girl.
*Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.
*You must have orange juice every day, so it's a girl.
*You are having headaches, so it's a boy.
*Your belly looks like a watermelon, so it's a girl.
*You show them the palm of your hand, so it's a girl.
*You use the handle, so it's a boy.
