Gender Poll & Upcoming Reveal

I can't put in to words how excited I am to find out the gender of this baby. I don't know how people wait the nine months without knowing (God bless you)! I've had several friends wait but I'm just not one that can handle that. I'm a planner. I do not like surprises. I like to be in control. I know my world will come crashing down with planning, surprises, and control once the baby is here, so I might as well enjoy one last hurrah while I still can.

I've been reading a lot into old wives-tales because honestly, what's not fun about that. I love the guessing game and I keep going back and forth. I have not the slightest idea what this little baby of ours is but I'm super excited to find out!


Morning sickness: I threw up just a few times, but I was very nauseous throughout my first trimester. I had some days where I wasn't sure how I was going to make it through the day. GIRL

Cold feet: My feet are always cold and have continued to be. 
BOY

Soft or dry skin? Dry. BOY

Are you craving citrus? Not really. I want vegetables all the time. GIRL

Have you felt glowing or less than beautiful and had lots of breakouts?  I've had breakouts and I don't see the glow nor has anyone else told me that I have one. GIRL

Ramzi Method: One of my ultrasounds is on the right the other on left but when I use the home doppler, I hear it on the right. This one is really getting to me. BOY

Heartbeat indicator: At my last ultrasound the heartbeat was 162. But I know others who have had a higher HB and it's been a boy. In this case signs point to 
GIRL.

Dreams: I've had several dreams about a GIRL recently. However at the beginning I had dreams about a BOY.


Chinese Gender Calendar: I've looked at six different sites. 4/6 say 
GIRL





Hair on legs:  About the same...definitely not faster. GIRL 

Addition test (Month you got pregnant + age when you got pregnant):  
Odd. GIRL

Do you eat the end of a loaf of bread?  This has never bothered me. If it's there, I'll eat it. I have always loved the ends of fresh baked bread! BOY

Craving sweet or salty: Both. I love icecream but salty olives are amazing too. I actually prefer spicy which I've seen as both. BOY GIRL

Eli Test: A good friend of mine has a little boy, Eli, who is the master at guessing baby genders and due dates. He's only been wrong once and that time he was one day off of a due date. The kid is three and a genius! For me he guessed GIRL

Mother's intuition: When I first found out I thought it was a BOY. 100%. Now, I'm not sure.

Girl 10   BOY 7

While I'm not taking any of this to heart, I definitely think it's fun and entertaining to check it out. We want a healthy baby whether it be a boy or girl.

  4. It's so fun isn't it! Every old wives tale said Girl for me except for 1 or 2 and I'm having a Boy- I'm going to say girl for you because we need some females to even out all the boys people are having these days!

  6. This is a tough one! I'm going to go with boy because most of the old wives' tales said girl for me and I'm having a boy!

  7. It's so funny... those wives tales were mostly wrong for me, but still fun to think about. I was the SAME way - I couldn't imagine waiting 9 whole months to find out if the little person inside me was a boy or girl, it was killin' me! I am going to say GIRL only because it's the year of the girl so far... seems everyone is having little girls. But you will be fabulous either way - and you definitely have a glow, it just gets a little hidden with the morning sickness, I was the same way! :)
