He or She… What Could It Be?

Once again, we are not finding out the gender of this baby, but I thought it would be fun to look at the old wives’ tales and do some comparisons.

Old Wives’ Tales for Gender

Carrying high or low? 

Baby’s heart rate <140 or >140? 

Mama craving sweet or sour/salty? 

Chinese calendar (based on lunar age) says:
(This was a tricky one! Just using my age with the Western calendar, it said I was having a boy, but when I did the lunar age, it said girl.)

Mama’s skin is good or bad?
(I’m actually not sure on this one either… I’m not having any breakout, but I am dealing with eczema this time around, so I guess it could go either way.) 

When dangling a ring on a string over the belly, did it go back and forth or in a circle? 

Did Mama have morning sickness or no sickness? 

Has Mama been moody or mellow? 

Have Mama’s feet been colder or warmer than normal? 

Mama’s intuition says… 

Just based on these 10 things, it looks like we’re in for another boy! But… I was pretty sure Gerrit was a girl and was 100% wrong, so take my mother’s intuition with a grain of salt, haha! Click here for a look at the old wives’ tales for my first pregnancy too.

And an up-to-date comparison of the belly:

I will make up an actual Baby Pool where everyone can vote when we get closer to the due date, but as of now, what’s your guess??
