So, is it normal that my husband and I are already calling the baby he or she? I want a little girl, of course, so I refer to the baby as 'she'. He wants a boy, of course, so he refers to the baby as 'he'. And now our friends are in on this as well. My best friends refers to the baby as 'she' while her girlfriend refers to the baby as 'he'.
Now I know we should all just be hoping for a happy, healthy baby regardless of the gender but isn't it fun?! For example, I am not a sweets person. I have never enjoyed eating a lot of chocolate or cake. But, this little baby of mine loves sweets! She is always wanting chocolate and candy. So the fun part is telling my husband that and freaking him out. "You know they say that if I'm craving sweets, it's probably a girl!" Now I know this doesn't really matter. I know that at this point there's a 50% chance of a boy or girl but it's so much fun to see the look on my husband's face when I tell him things like that!
So, let's add some wives tales:
1. If you carry high, it's a girl. If you carry low, it's a boy.
My Result: My baby bump isn't big enough just yet to tell.
2. If you crave sweets, it's a girl. If you crave salty or sour snacks, it's a boy.
My Result: I'm always craving sweets so it must be a girl!
3. If the baby's heart rate is 140+, it's a girl. If the baby's heart rate is less than 140, it's a boy.
My Result: The heart rate is around 170 so it may be too early to tell.
4. If you have a lot of morning sickness, it's a girl. If you have no morning sickness, it's a boy.
My Result: I have had very little morning sickness so it must be a boy!
5. If you add drano to a cup of urine and it turns green, it's a girl. If it turns blue, it's a boy.
My Result: I haven't tried this one yet.
6. If you have bad breakouts (acne), it's a girl. If not, it's a boy.
My Result: It's a girl!
7. Gender Predictor
My Results: It's a boy!
8. Chinese Calendar.
My Results: It's a girl! I was 27 when we conceived in the month of March!
What other wives tales have you heard of? Have any of them actually been accurate? I will keep updates on some of these as I go farther along. So far, it looks like a girl but you just never know!
