Damien and I have been having a fun time with the gender prediction. Damien is still solidly team blue and I'm being contrary on leaning towards team pink. We'll be happy with whoever is in there. Here are some old wives' tales for fun!
Girl came to 5 out of 7
Boy came to 2 out of 7
List from Parenting Here is the link to the list on the original website
Highs and Lows
This one you can do just by looking south: if you're carrying high, break out the pink. If your bump is low, you're carrying a boy.
- Maybe too early to tell on this one, but everybody says I'm carrying high so GIRL
Be Still My Beating Heart
Next time your OB pulls out the Doppler to listen to baby's heartbeat, ask her to tell you what the heart rate is. According to legend, 140+ beats per minute indicates a girl, and below 140 a boy.
- We've been consistently at 140 or higher (last appointment was 146) so GIRL
Sweet and Sour
Craving ice cream every single day? Some people believe this means it's a girl. If you have to have salty or sour stuff, then it's a boy.
- This one is a bit of toss up as my cravings vary, but those olives I ate at 10:00pm last night have me thinking that I'm team blue with this one! BOY
Chinese Birth Chart
This ancient method uses your age at conception and the month you did the deed to determine gender.
- Chinese birth predictor came back with GIRL
Potty Time
This one's a little out there. Pee in a cup (you've been doing it at all your prenatal appointments anyway, haven't you?), mix a tablespoon of Drano in, and watch to see if it changes color. Green = girl, and blue = boy.
- Totally not doing this one...
Even and Odd
Legend has it that the Mayans determined a baby's sex by looking at the mother's age at conception and the year of conception. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one's even and one's odd, it's a boy.
- According to the Mayans, we're having a BOY - 27 at conception and it's 2012
Spot On
If you're breaking out like crazy, blame it on your girl babe. The belief goes that girls steal their mother's beauty, hence, those annoying zits.
- Yea, I'm going to go ahead and give this one a GIRL
Nice Ring to It
Pop off your wedding ring -- if you still can! -- and tie it to a string. Hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle, a little guy's in your future. If it goes back and forth, you've got a girl.
- Haven't done this one yet!
Queasy Does It
Sick as a dog during the first trimester -- or still? Signs indicate you're having a girl. Little or no morning sickness points to a boy.
- If the first trimester is any indication, there is a GIRL in our future!
