For Fun: Boy or Girl

I'm not a superstitious person or believe in "old wives tales," but I thought this would be fun to share!

Here are some old wives' tales that determine the sex of your baby:

1. Sleep Position
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? You're pregnant with a girl.

I prefer to sleep on my left side = boy.

2. Upset Stomach
Little girls aren’t always sweet. Extreme nausea means you are having a daughter.

Have not been extremely nauseous, although snot really gets to me = boy?

3. Soft or Dry Hands
If your hands are dry during pregnancy, you are having a boy; soft—expect a girl.

My hands are always dry = boy

4. Food Cravings
Your favorite pregnancy foods may tell you what sex the baby is. If you’re craving citrus while pregnant, you’re having a girl.

Have been craving lemonade a lot, but I think that's because of my co-worker, Maxine :) = girl

5. Adult Acne
If altering hormones makes your skin break out, expect a girl.

this is always a problem for me so it doesn't really count.

6. Sugar and Spice Food Cravings
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.

love lots of salty things during the day, but have to have something sweet every night = boy & girl (OH NO!!!)

7. High or Low Pregnant Belly

If you’re carrying the baby low on your stomach, expect a boy. If it’s high, you’re having a girl.

8. Pendulum Test

Dangle a chain with a charm over your palm. It swings back and forth: boy. In a circle: girl.

held over right hand went back & forth = boy

held over left hand went in a circle = girl

9. Model Your Hands
“Show me your hands.” If you would hold your hands palms up, it’s a girl. Down? You’re having a boy.

I would show my hands palm down = boy

10. Even and Odd Numbers

If your age and year of conception are both even or odd, it’s girl. One even and one odd means a boy.

year of conception was 2011, age was 32 = boy

11. Baby’s Heartbeat
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.

first heartbeat we heard was 164 (have only heard it once since and I can't remember what it was) = girl

12. Stress Test
A child tends to be of the same sex as the parent who is less stressed at the time of conception.

Aaron is always less stressed than me = boy

13. Dream Meanings
If you dream about having a girl while pregnant, you will wind up having a boy and vice versa.

have had crazy dreams, but none about the sex of the baby

BOY = 6

GIRL = 2

INDIFFERENT = 5

Looks like there's a 50/50 chance!! HA HA!!
