Boy or Girl?

So notice on the right side of your screen. There is a poll, boy or girl. We're curious to know what you think. I've researched a few wives tales. Let's discuss...

*Myth:If you are carrying all in front the baby will be a boy. If you carry out to the sides as well as in the hips and buttocks, the baby is said to be a girl.

*Me: I have no butt and no hips... BOY

*Myth: The shape of your face during pregnancy is another myth regarding the gender. A fuller face is said to mean you are expecting a girl. A slimmer face is thought to indicate a son.

*Me: Definitely slimmer, a mega plus so far, losing weight...BOY

*Myth: The belief is that girls have a faster heart rate than boys. A heart rate of under 140 beats per minute is said to be a boy. A faster heart rate is thought to be a girl.

*Me: The baby has been too active. My second visit the doctor couldn't get the heart beat with the doppler, off to ultra sound, where a heart beat was confirmed, but not counted. The last visit he had trouble finding it again, but didn't count. This baby won't stop moving! ???

*Myth: A more active fetus is a boy. This is linked to the belief that boys are rowdy and boisterous. Since girls are believed to be more quiet and reserved, a quieter baby is thought to be a girl.

*Me: See above, can't keep up with this kid already! BOY

*Myth: Chinese Gender Predictor

*Me: GIRL

*Myth: Wedding ring, if it spins its a girl, if its to and fro its a boy

*Me: BOY

So survey here says boy, but the one I've found the most true is the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Which is the only one that says girl. I guess maybe tomorrow after my ultra sound we'll know more.
I work tomorrow evening, so maybe Friday I'll have an answer for you, but in the meantime,...let us know what you think.

I'm saving photos for a big post this weekend. Cade is going to steal the show and I can't wait to see him.

  1. Hi Barb, Joe and Cade, I am hoping for a girl!
    Honestly it does not matter as long as the baby is healthy! I had a good day off! I spent time with two great friends that I have known for 26 years! Diane and Denise! We had lunch and talked and talked! We went to church to honor Mary. They read the scripture about the angel Gabriel coming to Mary! Take Care! We love you! Aunt Ann and Uncle Jim.
