It's a boy???? According to VERY unscientific, inaccurate data (real announcement to come Friday)

So if you want to know if you're having a boy or girl, what do you do? Well if you listened to old wives tales (what does that even mean, by the way?) you would take the following quiz.

So here's my dilemma. I've had about 1/2 the symptoms in the boy category and 1/2 in the girl category - leaving me a 50/50 shot - which is where we all started in the first place, right? Genius!

The only thing I had not done (cuz it's loony tunes) is hang my wedding ring over my stomach to see if swings in circles or back and forth (cuz really? who would do that!???) Well I just did ... in my office at work (blinds closed!) with my ring hanging from dental floss. (Once a girl scout, always a girl scout).

So the answer is ...... BOY!

We see the doctor on Friday to get the REAL answer (hopefully) and will happily share the news. Meantime - check out this quiz - it's hilarious. (Especially the last bullet point where you're supposed to know the time of conception - really?!)

Gender Prediction Quiz:

  • You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy.
  • Your baby’s heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute.

  1. So...what symptoms are you feeling? I see my experience in both columns :) As you know, we didn't find out - the ONLY thing we kinda looked at is heart beat. According to what it was the first 2 times, Dr said girl, the last time she said boy as did our friend who always predicts the sex. And here we are with an Emma. I've also heard to do the Chinese calendar prediction thing and it's opposite ;0 ...can't wait to see what you find out tomorrow!
