Old Wives Tales

Tomorrow is the day...the day we FINALLY get to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl.
We've been trying to guess ever since we found out.  I thought it would be fun to check and see what the old wives tales said.  Here is what they predict:

1.  If you have morning sickness or are nausea you will have girl.  None at all means a boy.  This would probably equal girl for us.  I was nauseous a lot at first, now not really.  I'm saying GIRL here.

2. A heartbeat over 140 equals girl, below 140 equals boy.  We've been running a heartbeat at around 140 to 150 at all of our appointments. So GIRL here.

3.  If you crave salty foods it is a boy, craving sweets means a girl.  I can't say that I have been craving either but I do seem to have more of a sweet tooth than pre-pregnancy, at least right now.  I'm going with GIRL on this one too.

4.  If the dark line - linea nigera- stops at your belly button it's a girl.  If it goes to your ribs it's a boy.  Mine is all the way up, so BOY here.

5.  If you are glowing it's a boy.  A girl steals beauty.  I think my beauty has been stole. I seem to have teenage skin and hair again so I'm saying GIRL here.

6.  More hair on your legs, or faster hair growth on your legs means boy.  I definitely have to say BOY on this one.

7.  If you find yourself more clumsy you will have a boy, normal body movements and control equals a girl.  I'm going with BOY on this one.

8.  Carrying high means a girl, carrying low means a boy.  I feel like everything is pretty high so I'm saying GIRL.

9.  Chinese Gender Calendar.  This is based on the age of the mother when she got pregnant and the month in which you conceived.  This one calculates a BOY for us.

10.  Dry hands and cold feet equal a boy.  My skin is definitely more dry and my feet are always cold, they were before I got pregnant too. But this ones means BOY for us.

So, we are 50/50 here.  The gender predictions split us right in middle.  While I'm sure I could keep going and searching Google for any clue.  I think it would still be split down the middle.  I guess only time will tell.
