Let's begin.
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. Girl! (Although barely above 140, this baby was much lower than Olivia).
Legend has it that the Mayans determined a baby's sex by looking at the mother's age and the year. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one's even and one's odd, it's a boy. Girl!
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. Boy! (Although we did find contradicting articles on this one. Personally, I think its a way for the 'ring test' to always be accurate. If yours went in circles, you can find a copy of this wives tale that is accurate, no matter what you are having! Kind of like when Dan makes bets - he likes to be on the record saying both sides. So he can always be right.)
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. Girl!
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. ??? I had no dreams regarding gender this time.
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. Girl!
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. Boy!
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!
Rumor has it that if you are carrying your baby high, it's a girl. Carrying low? Stock up on blue. Girl!
Craving sweets? According to some, that means your going to have a little girl. Salty and sour cravings indicate a boy. Boy! (Funny, last time I wrote "always craving sweets - that has nothing to do with pregnancy ... welp).
Mom's Guess: Boy
Dad's Guess: This changes every second, right now he's saying 'I think its a boy, but since you are so adamant and you are always wrong, I think it's a girl.' It's his way of always being right, he 'guesses' both :)
Looks like its 4 boys and 5 girls for the wives ... we shall see!!
Lol Dan sounds like Dean! Always have to be right. With Mason most of the wives tales said he'd be a girl. I dreamt he was a cat. Thankfully he came out with no fur, no pointy ears, and no tail hahaha
ReplyDeleteHow funny looking at these Hallie should have been a boy! I think Mothers intuition is super strong! I guess Boy!
