It Doesn't Matter if You're a Boy or a Girl

Everyone is asking......
"What are you having?
"Do you know if it's a boy or a Girl?"

We decided not to find out. There are only a few nice surprises in life, let this be one of them.
And truthfully, it really doesn't matter to me either way what it is.

But people don't believe that we really don't know. They think we know and aren't telling. Do a lot of people opt to find out the sex beforehand? It just doesn't seem fun to me. Plus, I like people trying to guess based on my belly position/shape, cravings, etc.

Wives with tales say:
If you can tell woman is pregnant from the back, it's a girl.
If you can't tell a woman is pregnant from the back, it's a boy.
If the belly is more round, it's a girl.
If the belly is more pointy, it's a boy.
If the woman is craving tangy, spicy food, it's a boy.
If the woman is craving sweet food, it's a girl.
If the father is gaining weight also, it's a boy.
If you're glowing during pregnancy, it's a boy.
If you're not looking so great, it's a girl.
And so on and so on.

People are saying they can't tell I'm pregnant from the back. I'm craving spicy/tangy food AND sweet stuff. Some day's I'm glowing and some I look haggard. Hubby did gain some weight in the beginning of my pregnancy but recently lost it. CONFUSION!

I did this on-line quiz to see if the myths will tell me what my baby will be.

Result: 50% chance it's a girl and surprise...50% change it's a boy.
DUH! I could have told them that.

  1. You have a lot of will power to wait to find out.
    Sometimes you can't help but see IT in the sonogram.

  2. Don't forget the, putting your wedding band on on a chain and holding it over your open palm and if it swings back and forth it's a girl. If it swings in a circle it's a boy.
