Boy or Girl??!!

We are getting very close to finding out the gender of our little sweet pea!  It's so fun to hear what people think we are having based on various assumptions.  We can't wait to find out because I think it will start to really feel like we're having a baby.  Adam is head over heel about our little one, but the procrastinator in him is not wanting to discuss baby names until we "can narrow down our options" HA!  And he's not been to excited about moving the furniture out of the "office" and into the guest room in order to transition to a nursery--What's the point of having one empty room and one room full of everything?  I guess I see his point, but it's slowly killing the planner in me! 

Anyways, back to the topic!  Adam and my mom swear we are having a girl.  Now I'm not sure if that's intuition or just hopeful wishing, but nonetheless they are 100% sure it's a girl.  I"ve waivered back and forth over the weeks, but more recently am leaning towards one more than the other.  I'll tell you if I'm right after we find out--stay tuned!  One of the doctors that I work for swears that we are having a boy-he even bet me $1000 (I have no intention of paying him, but fully expect my payment if he's wrong!) and all because I've not been sick.  I would be lying if I said I felt 100% since day one, but I've really tried to put on a happy face because for one it could have been much worse and second what's the point of complaining about it-no one can make it go away and I still have to work regardless.  A nurse at work that is also expecting (she's having a girl anyday now) thinks it's a boy because I'm carrying low--not so sure if I am or not because I don't have a large bump yet.  Various other people have their assumptions too!

So the other night for fun, Adam and I participated in a few weird gender prediction tests that we found online.  Here are the results:
  • Chinese Gender chart-based on my age and the month of conception: BOY
  • Old wive's Tales Method-answer various questions about pregnancy: GIRL (65%)
  • Heartrate: Based on heart rate if >140 girl: GIRL
  • Wedding Ring prediction: Attach wedding ring to string and dangle over mom, circular motion girl, to and fro motion boy: BOY
Unfortunately, we are no closer to knowing than when we started. But it was fun!  Soon enough, soon enough:)

P.S. I'm way behind on posting:(  My computer is still messed up. Promise to overload you guys with pictures and updates soon!

  1. love it! gender chart was wrong for me and Kelli, but the ring test was correct for me and Kelli. Just a little FYI! No matter which gender it is...your baby will be beautifully loved!! but I agree, it gets SO MUCH MORE REAL when you don't refer to "it" anymore!
    {PS- totally typing with a baby laying across my arms! hahahahaa}
