Team Pink or Team Blue

Fun Old Wives Tales
Since this is our last baby...Dan and I have decided to be team green (meaning we aren't finding out the sex of the baby). Just for fun we compiled a list of Old Wives Tales and what the ultimate prediction was... team pink or team blue.

Old Wives Tale #1: Heart Rate
If the baby's heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. (First time we heard the baby's heartbeat it was 160, second time was 185, and the third time was 155. With Logan his heart rate was always in the 130-150 range) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of the Belly
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it's a boy. (I think it may still be too early to determine) Prediction outcome: INCONCLUSIVE

Old Wives Tale #3: Ring Test
Using a string, hang your wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring swings back and forth and it's a boy if it swings in a circle. Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale #4: Acne
If you have acne while pregnant, it's a girl. It's thought that ace during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #5: Cravings
People believe that if you are craving salty food while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl. (Definitely been eating the fruits, but not really sweets) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #6: Skin under Left Eye
The eye test is when a "V" or "branches" appear when you pull down the skin under your left eye. If you see a "V" or "branches" in the white part, you're having a girl. (Really odd, but no "V") Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale #7: Legs
If your legs get really big, you're having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it's a girl. (It may be too early for me to tell on this one, but so far I'm only gaining in the torso) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #8: The Chinese Gender Chart
The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived. ( 27 and January) Prediction Outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #9: Mom's Beauty
Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl "steals" the mother's beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is. (Definitely no glow here) Prediction Outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale#10: Dream of Sex of Baby
If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having. (Well, last night I dreamed of having a little boy) Prediction Outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #11: Clumsy vs. Graceful
If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she's having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she's having a boy. (I'm pretty clumsy even before pregnancy. lol. I guess the bruise on my knee of running into something would confirm the later) Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale#12: Side You Most Rest On
If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she's having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she's having a girl. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #13: Dad's Weight Gain
If the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it's a girl. If he doesn't gain weight, you're having a boy. (Well he has been dieting and working out to lose weight so it messes with the outcome) Prediction Outcome: INCONCLUSIVE

Old Wives Tale #14: What Do You Think?
71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having. (I don't know if it is because I'm hopeful or because this pregnancy is so much different, but I'm thinking pink thoughts. I will say Dan thinks it's a girl and he was right on his prediction with Logan.) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #15: Morning Sickness
If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it's a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl. (I was on the couch for the first 12 weeks) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #16: Protein
When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy. (I do like cheese, but I'm not a big meat eater) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #17: Feet
Are your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you're having a little girl. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #18: Headaches
If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy. (I've only been getting them this past week, but I think it's my allergies) Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale #19: Baby Names
It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby. (Dan and I can only solidly agree on our girl names, we're sill back and forth about the boys name) Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #20: Urine
What color is your pee? If it is bright yellow, you will have a little boy. If your urine is a dull yellow, plan on a girl. Prediction outcome: GIRL

TOTAL GIRL: 14
TOTAL BOY: 4
TOTAL INCONCLUSIVE: 2

Outcome...... TEAM PINK?!

What is your guess?
