I jinxed myself in the last post... I AM SO TIRED!!!! I slept last night from 7 to 630! I could've also taken a nap today during school... ridiculous. I'm ready for this stuff to end with the first trimester. But at least I've only put on 3 or so pounds so far (despite being the sole reason Taco Bell is still open in Piqua).
But on to the fun stuff... As anyone who has asked us, you know Zack and I are hoping for a little boy. So I've looked up some old wives' tales to see if we can guess before the ultrasound tells us!
Here's my checklist so far.....
Heart Rate
If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy.
... is it too soon to tell at 10 weeks? The bpm was over 140 at the last appointment, so... girl.
Shape of Belly
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.
.... too soon to tell
Ring Test
Using a string, hang your wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring swings back and forth and it’s a boy if it swings in a circle.
... no wedding ring to test it! haha, but really, too soon :)
Shape of Mom’s Face
When your face gets fuller and rounder when pregnant, it means you’re going to have a girl. If your face is long and narrow, it’s a boy.
... still too soon
Key Test
This test involves a key. If you pick up a key at the top (the roundest part), you are going to have a boy. If you pick up the key at the bottom (smallest part), you are going to have a girl. If you happen to grab the key in the middle, congrats, it’s twins!
... I did this before not knowing the "results" and it said.... boy
Mayan Tale
The Mayan tale adds the mothers age at conception and the year of conception. If the result is a even number then mom is having a girl. If the result is an odd number then a boy is on the way!
... well... girl
Drano Test
The drano test combines a tablespoon of Drano and urine together. If the mixture turns green, it’s a girl. If it turns blue, it’s a boy.
.... uhm, gross.
Acne
If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.
.... girl
Cravings
People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
.... with all the tacos and nachos I want, I'll say... boy
Skin under Left Eye
The eye test is when a “V” or “branches” appear when you pull down the skin under your left eye. If you see a “V” or “branches” in the white part, you’re having a girl.
... no "V".. boy
History of Parent’s Kids
You can find out the sex by going off of your parent’s kids and the order. If you are the first born, you will have what your mother had but starting with her second child. If you are the middle child, you will have what she said, but starting with the third child. If you are the last child, you will have what your mother had in the exact order.
.... boy
Time of Conception
The person that is most aggressive in bed at the time of conception is the opposite of what the baby will be.
... not sure on this one - any thoughts Zack ;) ??
Legs
If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl.
... too soon I think.
Moodiness and a Little Pecker
If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you.
... hahaha... GIRL
Bread
If you eat the ends of bread, it’s a boy. If you eat the middle of the load, it’s a girl.
... not much of a bread eater
Chinese Gender Chart
The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived.
... ugh. girl.
Mom’s Beauty
Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, you might just be having a little boy.
... too soon to tell?
Dream of Sex of Baby
If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having.
.... nothing to report yet!
Clumsy vs. Graceful
If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy.
... hahah, boy.
Toddlers
If a toddler boy expresses interest in a pregnant woman, she is having a girl. If he doesn’t show interest, she’s having a boy.
... nothing yet.
Side You Most Rest On
If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.
.... boy
Hands
When the pregnant woman is asked to show her hands, it’s a boy if she keeps her palms down and a girl if she shows her palms up.
Dad’s Weight Gain
If the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it’s a girl. If he doesn’t gain weight, you’re having a boy.
... we're destined for a boy
Old Wives Tale #38: Breast Test
If a pregnant woman’s left breast is larger than the right breast, she’s having a girl. If the right breast is larger, it’s a boy.
... I think boy
Necklace Over Hand
Have someone hold a necklace over your hand. If the necklace swings back and forth, it’s a boy. If it moves in a circle, it’s a girl.
... haven't done yet.
What Do You Think?
71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having.
... I have no fricken clue!
Morning Sickness
If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.
.. no sickness but I have felt nauseous, so... girl
Areolae
If your areolae (the part around your nips) have darkened, it’s a boy.
.... sexy... boy.
Protein
When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy.
yeah, meat and cheese on my tacos!... boy
Feet
Are your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you’re having a little girl.
.. I think it's b/c of weather.
Hair on Legs
If the hair on your legs has been growing at record speeds, you might be having a boy.
... what if they always have?
Hands are Dry
If your hands are constantly dry, it’s a boy.
... again, because of weather?
Urine
What color is your pee? If it is bright yellow, you will have a little boy. If your urine is a dull yellow, plan on a girl.
... gross.
Nose
Do you feel like your nose is growing and getting wider? If so, you might be having a boy.
... too soon to tell?
Headaches
If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.
... not until today.
Baby Names
It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby.
BOY!
If I counted right, the final tally is: BOY- 11, GIRL - 6
We'll see how accurate this is in February!! Since it's too soon to tell in a few of them, I'll have to re-do this in a month or so :)
But I'm exhausted... need to get as much sleep as I can before blob gets here!! Maybe I'll dream of the sex sometime soon :)
Also, a big congrats to Amber and Matt - my cousins expecting twins!!! She's only a week or two behind me - woohoo!!!
