Let's put those Old Wives Tales to test!

Although I know the majority of you have voted on baby bot’s gender. I wanted to add some Old Wives Tales on predicting gender. Just for fun! Many of these things were mentioned (I think) at one point or another in the blog. So perhaps you were paying attention, or perhaps you are tossing a coin, or perhaps you were picking the gender you want me to have! There will be a lot of scratched heads if bot has nuts and bolts. Either way I’ve got symptoms in each category. Still the BOY symptoms are much more apparent to me.

(All applicable things to me in BOLD)

It's a boy if:
· You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
· Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
· You are carrying the extra weight out front
· Your belly looks like a basketball
· Your areolas have darkened considerably (ooooh TMI here)
· You are carrying low
· You are craving salty or sour foods
· You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
· Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
· The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy (2nd TMI here)
· Your hands are very dry
· Your pillow faces north when you sleep
· Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
· Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
· Your urine is bright yellow in color
· Your nose is spreading
· You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
· You are having headaches
· You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

It's a girl if:
· You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
· Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
· You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear
· Your left breast is larger than your right breast
· Your hair develops red highlights
· You are carrying high ( I had a co-worker tell me this)
· Your belly looks like a watermelon
· You are craving sweets
· You are craving fruit
· You crave orange juice
· You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy (sad but true)
· You are moodier than usual during pregnancy (duh!)
· Your face breaks out more than usual (please, no flash photography)
· You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
· Your breasts have really blossomed! (bow chicka wow wow)
· Your pillow faces south when you sleep
· Your urine is a dull yellow color
· You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side
