Baby update...

I had an ultrasound last week at 32 weeks. The docs are estimating that the baby weighs 5.5 lbs! That puts me in the 35 week category. Do you think that they would up my due date of Oct. 4? Nope, not a chance! They think I will keep going. My maternal/instincts are telling me that my water will break (something that has never happened to me) on Sept. 9 or 16. Lets see how close I get to guessing my child's birthday.

Let the games begin! What are your guesses???

Old Wives' Tales

Got this is my inbox and I had to share the outcome. I highlighted boy/girl that I felt was true.


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? Your pregnant with a girl.

Upset Stomach (I don't get)

Little girls aren't always sweet. Extreme nausea means you are having a daughter.

Soft or Dry Hands

If your hands are dry during pregnancy, you are having a boy; soft -- expect a girl.

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. Craving watermelons right now.

Adult Acne

If altering hormones makes your skin break out, expect a girl. No acne. Does that make it a boy??

Graceful or Clumsy Pregnancy

If you feel as though you're gliding through they day, you'll have a girl. Stumbling? It's a boy.

Face Weight Gain

If your face gets fuller, it means you're having a girl. Nope.

Sugar and Spice Food Cravings

Craving salt during pregnancy? Potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn means a boy is on the way. I did earlier in my pregnancy. Need a little something sweet? Ice cream, chocolate, and candy means you're having a girl. Ice cream sundaes almost nightly.

Mood Changes

If you're experiencing pregnant mood-swings, expect a baby girl to arrive soon.

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.

Baby Weight

If you're carrying baby in front, it's a boy. Is the baby weight spaced all around your middle? It's a girl.

Pendulum Test

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

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.

Toddler Advice

Get baby advice from a nephew or friend's little boy. If a toddler boy shows interest in your belly, you'll have a girl. If he ignores you, it's a boy.

Eat Garlic

Guess the baby's sex by eating garlic. If the smell seeps out of your pores it's a boy. If there's no scent it's a little girl.

Key to Pregnancy

If you pick up a key by the round end, you're having a boy. If it's by the long end? A girl.

Even and Odd Numbers

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

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.

Stress Test

A child tends to be of the same sex as the parent who is less stressed at the time of conception. That would be Karl...boy!

Dream Meanings

If you dream about having a girl while pregnant, you will wind up having a boy and vice versa. I have been dreaming a girl.

Breast Size

If your right breast is larger than the left while pregnant, you are having a girl. If the left is larger, it's a baby boy.


Lets tally up what I have found..to close to even count. I guess we will all have to wait when the baby is ready to join his/her family. This was fun!

boy=7
girl=6
