Do you know what you're having?!

This is one of the top three questions people ask you when you are pregnant. "Do you know what you're having?!". Ummm, a baby (Well, unless that dream that I had in which I gave birth to Habibi wa some kind of intuition). OH, you mean a boy or a girl! Yeah, no. We have decided to remain on Team Green, which means we will not find out the baby's sex until he or she pops out. Yay! I love the anticipation, the guessing, the wondering, the element of suspense and surprise. What is my motherly instinct telling me? Girl. Has been since day one. I couldn't tell you specifically why, just a feeling. And as we all know, that's not really worth a whole lot...I could very well be completely wrong (for the first time in my life, just imagine!). Anyway, there are a load of old wives tales to help you predict the sex of your little one. Here is a big old list. I have highlighted those that hold true for each. Some of them are too early to tell, but it's still fun to play! I will update this later in pregnancy. Sooooo, is poppy a boy or a girl? Here's guessing...

It's a boy! if:
You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute You are carrying the extra weight out in front Your belly looks like a basketball Your areola have darkened considerably You are carrying low You are craving salty or sour foods You are craving protein - meats and cheese Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy Your hands are very dry Your pillow faces north when you sleep Dad-to-be is gaining weight too Pregnancy has you looking better than ever Your urine is a bright yellow in colour Your nose is spreading If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves in circles You are having headaches You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is even (36)

It's a girl! if: You had morning sickness early in pregnancy Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute (160s) You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear Your left breast is larger than your right breast Your hair gets red highlights You are carrying high Your belly looks like a watermelon You crave sweets You crave fruit You crave orange juice You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy You are moodier than usual during pregnancy Your face breaks out more than usual You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread Your breasts have really blossomed! Your pillow faces south when you sleep Your urine is a dull yellow in colour If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves from side to side If you add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is odd

And the Chinese Gender Chart says Girl.

Hmmmm, that's 5 for boy and 8 for girl....close call. I'll have to do the ring test later and see if that makes it even closer ; )

Those who have spent time with me recently, do you have a predicition?
