Boy or Girl


There are just a couple more weeks left until we meet this little bebe and it is time to start making some predictions.

When will he/she arrive? (My due date is 10/30)
How big will he/she be?
And lastly .... will it be a HE or a SHE?

Place your guesses! There are a variety of old wives tales when it comes to predicting the sex... I have done a couple of them, plus there are some myths that some people think can predict the sex.

One Chinese gender chart that I looked at said boy and another one said girl.

* If you carry low, it's a boy; high, it's a girl. - I think I am high
* If you carry in front, it's a boy; if you're wide at the middle, it's a girl. - I think it is in the front
* Hang your wedding ring from a strand of the father's hair over your belly. If the ring circles, it's girl; if it swings back and forth, it's a boy. - Goes in circles
* Is Baby's heart beat faster than 140 beats per minute (bpm)? It's a girl. Less than 130 bpm? It's a boy. - ranges from 145 - 170
* If morning sickness lingers all day, it's a girl. - I have not had any morning sickness at all

So... what will it be? Boy or Girl?

You're getting so close!!! I'm going to guess BOY! And I think HE will arrive on 10/24 :)

I think it is a boy but I mean I am by no means an authority!

Amy @ Forever 29 said...

I'm voting girl :-)

Sara McCarty said...

GIRL! I'm pretty good at guessing about these things too. :)

Jenn said...

I guessed boy waaaaaaay back when you first told me and I'm sticking with it!

As for the other stuff, I'm gonna guess 10/29 birth date and 8 lbs, 10 oz, 20 inches. But I don't know anything about anything, so those are total guesses.

I carried REALLY high the entire time I was pregnant with Spence. In fact, I didn't go to the bathroom any more than I did normally while I was pregnant. Part of the reason I had a csection was b/c he never "dropped" and therefore my cervix never thinned and dilated. So, I don't buy that one!! His heart rate was usually in the 130-140 range.

Very jealous of the no morning sickness part. It was awful!

I think it's a boy and I think it will come on 10/26 (my birthday). Can't wait to hear more about the sweet thing!!
