We are a weeks away from our next ultrasound. And of course the question on everyone minds is, what gender will our baby be?
What do you think? Take the poll above.
Originally I thought I was having a boy. No particular reason. I just automatically started calling my baby a he. And based upon my bodies development, such as the fact that my butt hasn't not gotten bigger (or maybe people are just being nice) then my body would suggest boy. I think...
However, other theories point the other direction.
According to the Chinese gender chart. I should be having a girl. Also, my mom who is fairly accurate at these kinds of things has said since the beginning that I will have a girl. Of course her and all of my female students are convinced of this fact. Where as my male students think otherwise.
Other Internet sources and prediction quizzes have also predicted girl. One of the main theories relating to my babies heart beat. My last doctors appointment showed a heartbeat of 160. Typically anything faster then 140 is a girl. Although I've heard heart beat can be affected by diet and activity. The heart beat also traditionally slows as the pregnancy progresses.
So the question still is. What gender will my baby be?
Hopefully in a week the baby will cooperate, and let us know.
I'm guessing boy.I think there's equal evidence to say girl, but boy was my first instinct and since then I have other reasons to say boy:
ReplyDelete1. Everyone else I know has girls, so SOMEONE has to have boys besides me.
2. You didn't have severe morning sickness. This one seems to prove itself over and over again among my friends and blogs I follow- severe morning sickness= girl. My mom did not follow this, but other than her I have yet to see evidence otherwise.
3. Weight gain. Again, old wives tales and experience with those I know alike, put on a lot of weight? It's a girl. Otherwise it's a boy.
I can't wait to find out! Hoping s/he cooperates!
Although, my mom had two girls and did not have morning sickness either. So if we take after our moms then that might be the case for us as well.
DeleteOh! And zits, too. Mostly just old wives tale here, but clear skin supposedly says boy.
DeleteBut I do agree, I believe genetics plays a large role in our symptoms. Still guessing boy, though.
I voted "boy" which probably means it is a girl since I'm often wrong about these things :) I was right about April though.
