It's A...


Well we don't know yet, but we'd love to hear your opinion. Vote whether you think #2 is a boy or a girl. I know there are a lot of you out there that read and don't comment, but it's really easy to vote so just do it (you don't need a google account).

And in case you subscribe to old wive's tales here's where we stand with this pregnancy.

Heart Beat
140+ beats per minute = a girl, below 140 bpm = a boy
At 16 weeks the heart beat was 142. Girl
However, Sawyer's heartbeat was always significantly over 140.

Breaking Out
Breaking out during pregnancy=girl, smooth skin=boy
During Sawyer's pregnancy I had baby soft skin, but this time I've been breaking out like crazy though it has improved since the 1st trimester. Girl

Sweet & Sour
Craving ice cream or citrus = girl while craving salty or sour foods =boy.
Truth be told I always crave sweets whether pregnant or not. This time around I have been wanting more fruity sweets than chocolate, which is a little unusual for me. Maybe that's just because Starbursts came out with Fave"Reds" or maybe it's a Girl
Sidenote: if you haven't tried the Starburst Fave"reds" run don't walk to your nearest convenience store. It's the greatest concept ever a package of Starbursts with only the red and pink flavors!

Sickness
Sick = girl, little or no sickness = boy
I was never sick with Sawyer, however during the 1st trimester of this pregnancy the nauseous feeling was there all the time though I am feeling completely better now. Girl

Even or Odd
Determine the mother's age at conception and the year of conception. If both are even or odd it's a girl. If one's even and one's odd, it's a boy.
27 and 2010 Boy

We find out the gender March 25th (hopefully)! I'll let you all know then. In fact for those of you living in Canton we may do a gender reveal party because I think it might be fun and it will be close to spring so we might have the 1st BBQ of the season.

  2. I would say girl, since you were so sick this time around. (That's the way I was with Eve and not with the boys.) But having two boys close in age would be fun too.

  3. I thought it was a girl without the above info. I actually would be shocked if it was a boy. As for some of the above:

    Heart Beat: for G did point to a girl
    Skin: non problems
    Sweet & Sour: I craved sour like crazy
    Sickness: none ever
    Both Even: Girl

    but to the wives tales all signs point to a girl for me so maybe they are no to far off.

  4. I would guess girl too, the skin and sickness old wives tales seemed true for me also, BUT I have a friend who had two totally opposite pregnancies and both were girls, so that always makes me check myself-- there's really no way to predict based on symptoms (and the how you carry ones and the number/age ones just make me laugh as that makes no sense to me). So, while I think everything points to "girl", I usually just go with an intuition guess and for Luke and I both, we are gonna say "boy" :) (Luke's words were, it would serve Kyle right, LOL)
