Guessing Game



The earliest that we might be able to find out whether we're having a boy or a girl would be the week before Christmas, but it could still be later than that. I came across several myths on ivillage.com for predicting the baby's gender but only a few relate to me this early on.

You might be having a boy if:
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute (baby Lingle's was 125)
You are craving salty or sour foods (yes)
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
(yes)
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy (yes, but the weather is cooling down and the floors are cold)
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy (maybe)

Your hands are very dry (yes, but that also happens in winter)
You are having headaches (yes)


You might be having a girl if:
You had morning sickness early in pregnancy (yes)
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute (no)
Your hair gets red highlights
You are craving sweets
(no)
You are craving fruit (only the sour ones)
You crave orange juice
(thought of it makes me ill)
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy (Jasen would say yes but this is our first so not sure)

Your breasts have really blossomed (they are going to get bigger no matter what)

We'll be ecstatic either way but I'm having fun guessing.
