No, we did not, and are not, finding out what the gender of this child is, but I did the old wives' tale test. Here it is for your viewing pleasure!
1. Pay attention to which way you lay down in bed tonight. If you prefer sleeping on your left side, you'll have a boy. Right side? Your pregnant with a girl. I can’t sleep on my left side for too long. I much prefer my right. Girl.
2. Little girls aren't always sweet. Extreme nausea means you are having a daughter. I do not consider what I had extreme…so boy.
3. If your hands are dry during pregnancy, you are having a boy; soft -- expect a girl. My hands are dry like normal. So I guess boy.
4. Your favorite pregnancy foods may tell you what sex the baby is. If you're craving citrus while pregnant, you're having a girl. I like anything fruit, so I would say girl.
5. If altering hormones makes your skin break out, expect a girl. More zits than I have had in a long time…girl.
6. If you feel as though you're gliding through they day, you'll have a girl. Stumbling? It's a boy. No more clumsy than I normally am. Girl.
7. If your face gets fuller, it means you're having a girl. Not yet. Undetermined.
8. Craving salt during pregnancy? Potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn means a boy is on the way. Need a little something sweet? Ice cream, chocolate, and candy means you're having a girl. Candy and ice cream are way better than potato chips and pretzels! Girl!
9. If you're experiencing pregnant mood-swings, expect a baby girl to arrive soon. Ha! Girl.
10. If you're carrying the baby low on your stomach, expect a boy. If it's high, you're having a girl. Don’t know yet. Undetermined.
11. If you're carrying baby in front, it's a boy. Is the baby weight spaced all around your middle? It's a girl. Don’t know yet. Undetermined.
12. Dangle a chain with a charm over your palm. If it swings back and forth: boy. In a circle: girl. I didn’t have a charm so I used my headphones. Back and forth. Boy.
13. "Show me your hands." If you would hold your hands palms up it's a girl. Down? You're having a boy. This one is hard b/c I could change it depending on what I want. But I think I usually hold them down. So boy.
14. Get baby advice from a nephew or friend's little boy. If a toddler boy shows interest in your belly, you'll have a girl. If he ignores you, it's a boy. I’ll see what Ben does when I start showing. Undetermined.
15. Guess the baby's sex by eating garlic. If the smell seeps out of your pores it's a boy. If there's no scent it's a little girl. Just had garlic mashed potatoes and nothing seeped out. Girl.
16. If your age and year of conception are both even or odd, it's girl. One even, one odd means a boy. This one is sketchy. I turned 28 in July but we probably conceived this kid before my birthday….The year is 2010. Boy.
17. If the baby's heart beats more than 150 times per minute, you're pregnant with a girl. Less than 150, it's a boy. It has been above 150 every time. Girl.
18. A child tends to be of the same sex as the parent who is less stressed at the time of conception. I was out of school at the time. So I would say me. Girl.
19. If you dream about having a girl while pregnant, you will wind up having a boy and vice versa. I have only had one dream, but the babe was a girl. So boy.
20. If your right breast is larger than the left while pregnant, you are having a girl. If the left is larger, it's a baby boy. Um. They are probably more the same size now than they were before I was pregnant. So, undetermined.
Tally:
Girl: 9/20
Boy: 6/20
Undetermined: 5/10
There ya have it. Looks like girl wins for now. I will have to come back when I am showing and fill in the rest! :)
