Guess Baby's Gender

I thought it would be fun to have our family and friends guess baby's gender!  I have posted below some of the common "Old Wives Tales," and what I've been experiencing.  Guess away, we'll find out on November 8th!

Highs & Lows - Look and see if I am carrying baby high or low.  If my bump is high break out the pink, if it's low break out the blue!  You've saw my bump progress, go ahead take a guess!

Be Still My Beating Heart - According to legend, if baby's heartbeat is 140+ beats per minute it indicates girl and below 140 a boy.  At my 17 week appointment baby's heartbeat was 147 beats per minute.

Sweet & Sour - Am I craving ice cream every single day?  If the answer is yes, girl is on the way.  If I am craving salty and sour, prepare for blue.  I have been craving sweet things from day one!  My cravings include:  Skittles, birthday cake, and oranges.

Spot on - If my face is breaking out like crazy blame it on a girl, the legend says girls steal their mother's beauty.  At first I noticed pesky break outs but they have decreased to little blemishes now.

Nice Ring to It - I popped off my wedding ring and tied it to a string.  If it goes back and forth our future is pink, if it swings in a circle prepare for blue.  I tried this test and it went back and forth.

Queasy Does It - Was I sick as a dog during the first trimester or still?  If so prepare for a girl.  Little to no sickness means boy.  I had a pretty easy first trimester until 9 weeks hit then felt quite sick until about 16 weeks.  

Face Shape - If my face has gotten rounder signs point to a girl, if it's long and narrow a boy it is.  I haven't noticed many changes to my face shape, still looks long and narrow to me.

History of Parent's Children - You can find out the sex by going off of my parent’s children and the order.  If I was the first born, I will have what my mother had but starting with her second child.  If I was the middle child, I will have what she said, but starting with the third child.  If I am the last child, I will have what my mother had in the exact order.  Well I am the last child, so signs are pointing to boy.

Dream of Baby's Gender - If I have dreamed baby is a boy that means a girl is on the way.  If I have dreamed baby is a girl that means a boy is on the way.  According to this tale dreams mean the opposite when it comes to gender.  From day 1 I have been dreaming baby is a boy, with beautiful dark hair and curls.

How does Mama Rest - If I'm resting on my left side a boy is on the way, if I'm resting on my right side all signs point to pink.  I normally rest on my right side, of course that is the easiest way to watch TV on the couch!
