Boy or Girl?

So there are a bunch of old wives tales about the gender of our baby. Let's see how we rate: I have bolded what I know Buffy has/had (Buffy if I missed one, let me know!)


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
* 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
* 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
* 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
* You are moodier than usual during pregnancy
* Your face breaks out more than usual
* You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
* Your breasts have really blossomed!
* 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
* You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number


Also the Chinese gender prediction says ..........GIRL!

So we shall see! I am just so happy the baby is healthy. Buffy is glowing and looks beautiful. (i bet she is also really tan now!)

More of the signs point in the GIRL direction...that was my guess from the start. I can't wait for you to find out!

OK, here are some (only additional ones, I agree with what Deana already had marked!)that I THINK I have:
BOY:
*areolas have darkened considerably (sorry if TMI!)
GIRL:
*carrying extra weight in hips and rear (for SURE!)
*I'm craving fruit
*I'm moodier than usual

Yes...I think its a girl as well, but can't wait to find out for sure!
