Old Wives Tales

1) If the heartbeat is high (over 140 beats per minute) then it's a girl. If it's lower, it's a boy.

Our little one has a nice strong heartbeat -- At 12 weeks it was 168 bpm, at 15 weeks it was 155 bpm and 16 weeks it was 164. According to the Old Wives Tale... It's a girl.

2) If you're craving sweet things, its a girl. If you're dying for salty or sour things, then its a boy.

I am not craving either, but I do love both. I've always been one to choose salty foods over sweets, so I'll stick with that... It's a boy.

3) Chinese Birth Chart - This method uses the Lunar calendar to determine your babies gender by taking note of the mothers age at time of conception along with the month of conception. 

Although this calendar sounds so absurd, its results have been found to be incredibly accurate... It's a girl.

4) Legend says that if you're having a girl, she'll steal your beauty and your skin will break out. If you don't experience any acne, it's a boy.

I have always been one to believe in this tale and I can assure you, since I found out I was pregnant my skin has broken out more than ever before. It's worse now at 31 years of age than it was at 14... It's a girl.

5) If you find yourself clumsier with pregnancy, you're having a boy. If you remain grounded and still in control of your body, it's a girl.

I do not feel a loss of control with my body, nor do I feel clumsy... It's a girl.

6) If dad gains weight, it's a girl. If his weight stays the same, it's a boy.

Considering how Bryan has lost weight while I've been gaining... It's a boy.

7) Morning Sickness? If you're stricken with a queasy stomach during your first trimester, think ribbons and bows. If you sail through your pregnancy with nary an upset stomach, it's blue all the way. 
I experienced morning sickness for many months... It's a girl.

8) If you are carrying the baby low and in front then it means you're having a boy.  If you're carrying high and expand horizontally, then it means you're having a girl.

I'm not showing enough to be able to really tell, but feel like I'm "showing" low, so I guess that means I'm carrying low... It's a boy.

I'm planning on sharing the gender with you next week. In the meantime...
