It's a...????

Boy or girl?? That's a huge question in our minds right now. Sure, we say it really doesn't matter and that all we want is a healthy baby and that is 110% true, but not knowing the gender is hard! Of course we have been looking at all the old wives tales and what not - just for fun. Here's what we've found out so far.

Heartbeat test: The old wives tale is that if the heartbeat is over 140 beats per minute it's a girl, and if it's under 140 beats per minute it's a boy. Our's was 161, so that one says GIRL

Chinese Lunar Calendar: Checking your "chinese age" with conception time on a chart GIRL

Ring test: This is the one when you take your hubby's wedding ring and swing it above your belly. If it swings in a circular movement it's a girl. If it swings back and forth like a pendulum it's a boy. This one was performed by a family friend, Barbara Glover, at a wedding shower and she concluded it was a BOY

Cravings: The old wives tale on this one is if you crave meat you're having a boy and if you crave fruit you're having a girl. Since I physically have to force myself to eat meat nowadays and I can't stop buying fruit I'm going to conclude GIRL

I know this is all pretty silly, but at the same time it's fun to try and guess. The truth is we'll know April 23rd what we're having and the days are going to drag so slowly until then!!!

Here's a picture of the ring test being performed...not the most flattering of pictures, but oh well. :)
