Old Wives Gender Tales

Advertisements

Most days I’m happy with our decision to wait to find out Rockstar’s gender, but there are definitely random times where I just wish i KNEW already!! Today I decided to take a highly scientific old wives gender tales poll to see what that said. What do you think – boy or girl? Vote on the right!


1. How are you carrying? (high-girl/low-boy) – People tell me its high.
2. What do you crave? (salty-boy/sweet-girl) Mostly sweet, which is way bizarre for me b/c normally I don’t really care for sweets.
3. Husband’s weight? (gained-girl/maintained-boy) I don’t see how this is fair – my dang husband has always been able to eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants and never gain a pound! This definitely hasn’t changed.
4. Facial Acne? (yes-girl/no-boy) – Yes in the beginning, no now.
5. Baby’s heart rate? (>140, <140) – In the 160s in the beginning, but dropping at each appointment (just this last time in the 130s… so mostly girl, but maybe boy?
6. Chinese Gender Chart: http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html
— Make sure you use your lunar age – the algorithm upon which this chart is based!

7. Sleep Position – Pay attention to which way you lay down in bed tonight. Left side or right side?  (left-boy/right-girl) Right side. I TRY to be on my left, but I always end up on my right.

8. Upset Stomach – Do/did you have extreme nausea? (yes-girl/no-boy) Yep. 😛 
9. Soft or Dry Hands – Have your hands been soft? Or dry during your pregnancy? (dry:boy/soft:girl) Hm… I’d say pretty soft, considering how much my hands have been in bleach while bartending all summer.
10. Face Weight Gain – Has your face filled in more so than normal? (fuller face: girl / no: boy)

I have no idea – when I asked my husband, he said, “I dunno, maybe a little? I dunno?”

11. Baby Weight – Are you carrying your baby towards the front only? Or is the weight spaced all around your middle? (front:boy/all around:girl) I’m mostly in front.


Results
Girl- 6
Boy- 2
Not sure – 3

So basically, we shall see! Char and I are working on agreeing on a boy’s name lately b/c we keep referring to this kid as a girl (I think mainly b/c we have agreed on the girl’s name)… we both kinda feel like it’s a girl, and this survey seems to agree, but as we all know, there’s a 50/50 chance we’ll be welcoming a little boy into our lives in December!!!
