Old Wives Tales Tested.

"You're having a boy! I can just tell!" "I just know you're having a girl!" I have heard these comments during my pregnancy. And I love the different reasonings behind their prediction every time. Here are some Old Wives Tales that family and friends have used to support their theories:

Boy:
-You're carrying low.
-Your baby moves a lot.
-Your husband is 1 of 3 brothers and you're one of 2 girls--boys win.
-Your husband is a manly man.
-You have bad morning sickness.
-You're ankles look swollen (ouch! they do?)
-I'm Grandma. I just know.

Girl:
-You're carrying high
-You're baby moves a lot.
-You have really bad morning sickness.
-I see it in your face.
-Your breasts got huge fast.

Here are several recent pics of me. I would like to invite you to study them and tell me whether I will be having a baby girl or boy. Please feel free to add a comment to this post with your prediction and how exactly you arrived at that conclusion or guess. Also, participate in my poll on the left side of this blog, on what you believe my baby is.


Here is my close up.



This photo was take at approximately 13 weeks. Am I carrying high? low? wide?....




What can you tell from this photo?
Here I am at approximately 17 weeks. What do my ankles tell you? My belly? etc.

I am very interested in finding out what you believe I will be having and why you believe you can say with some certainty. I hope you have fun and I will keep all of you posted as to the results of the polling and our visit with the doctor. Feel free to also share this post with your friends and family. Have fun.

We can't wait to hear what God has blessed you with. Personally, we're voting that it looks like a boy. :) Miss you guys and love you lots!

I can't wait to hear if it is a girl or a boy. I'm so thankful that you three are doing well and that God has gotton you all the way to this point. Having a child is such an amazing, wonderuful thing. In my experience, whatever sew you think you will have, it will be the opposite. No wives tale or crazy myth that I have ever been told has proved to be true. But people sure love to tell you what they think. Looking forward to hear the news! You look beautiful!
