Gender Predictions...

I think it's pretty normal that the weeks between the end of the first trimester and when you finally go to your gender ultrasound appointment (between 18 and 22 weeks) are spent obsessing about whether the bun in the oven is a boy or a girl... I hope it's normal... because I will admit I'm obsessing a little...

During my obsession I have turned to old wives tales, a Chinese Lunar Calendar & the most expensive - Intelligender... here's what the results have been...

Old Wives Tale The tale goes that if the baby's heartbeat is over 140 a minute then you are having a girl... Well bumble bean's heartbeat has consistently been 162 - 166 so the verdict is: GIRL

Chinese Lunar Calendar http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html There are several versions of this chart out there, but this one seems to be the most accurate among my friends... It is based on the mother's age and month of conception... verdict is: GIRL

Intelligender http://www.intelligender.com/ This pee test evaluates the level of testosterone in your body and determines whether or not you are having a boy or a girl... you are suppose to read the results between 5 and 10 minutes... at 5 minutes, the verdict was GIRL, but at 10 minutes the verdict was BOY... I emailed the company and asked which result I should go with and they said BOY... so the final verdict is BOY

I guess we'll have to wait until early August to know for sure... I can't WAIT to find out!!!
