Wives Tales

Here are all the things I read or used to predict the gender of our child and here were the results I have had through the pregnancy. I didn't do these with the other two. Just thought I would record them for fun.

1. Chinese Lunar Calendar - predicted a girl.
2. More movement and activity level indicate a girl. Boys usually have less movement.
3.If the baby's hands are up by the face during the ultrasound it is a girl- all 3 ultrasounds we had the baby had its hands up by the face most of the time.
4. A dark stripe on the stomach is a boy, no dark line is a girl- I have no line this time
5. Heart Rate of 130+ is a girl lower is a boy- This baby started at 189bpm, then 155 bpm, and last time was around 140 bpm
6. Craving sweets is a boy, craving sour is a girl- I have craved pineapple, and at one point early on lemon heads, and have really liked lemon and lime in my water. I of course have liked sweets this pregnancy as well.
7. Wanting Spicy food indicates a boy- I have never liked spicy food and have never enjoyed it in pregnancy either.
8. Suffering from heartburn indicates a boy- had it the whole time with the first two- none with Baby 3
9. Legs more hairy and having to shave more often indicates a girl- I have to shave all the time- I think it has more to do with prenatals though.
10. Dangle a nail on a string and if it goes in a circle it is a girl, if it moves back and fourth it is a boy- when I did it, it went in a circle.
11. Really Really sick during pregnancy and lasting longer through pregnancy predicts a girl- This is what I have had this time, very sick
12. Sweet foods craved over salty is a girl, Salty over sweet is a boy- I want sweets more often this pregnancy
13. If the age you conceive and the year you conceive are both even or both odd its a girl, if it is one of each it is a boy- I was one of each 2012 and age 29.

So according to any of these I should be having a girl. There were some of them that didn't fit for my pregnancy either way so I didn't put those in. So now we will see who is right- the ultrasound technician or all the wives tales :)
In the mean time I am going to plan on having a boy!
