Old Wive's Tales

Since we have our 20 week ultrasound tomorrow, Bryan and I thought it might be fun to see how true some of the old wive's tales are.

According to a Chinese Gender Chart, because I was 28 years old when the baby was concieved, the baby should be a girl.

There is a wives tale that says that the faster the heart beat, the more likely your having a girl. Each time we've heard the baby's heart beat, its been above 140 (which is higher than what Dylan's usually was). So, according to this wive's tale, its a girl.

 We also did the Wedding Ring and Thread Gender Prediction Test. With this test you tie thread to a wedding band and dangle it over the pregnant woman's belly. If the ring swings like a pendelum, it is a boy. If the ring swings in a circular motion, its a girl. According to this wive's tale, we are having a boy.

There is also another wives tale that involves urine and draino...we decided against that one!

Although these wive's tales are fun, today I am thankful that we live in a time where its possible to use ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby. I can't wait for tomorrow! Dylan is going with us so he will be able to see his little sister or brother! We'll let you know which wive's tale is correct!!
