Fascinating...

Before I discuss just what is so fascinating...here's the stats.

Day: 104
Days Left: 176
Feeling: A little lazy. Alright...who are we kidding. Lazy. And still with these headaches. I was going to call the doctor on Thursday after work, but it was the day from hell and I ended up being there much later than I thought. So Monday it is.
Mood: Pretty typical. I nearly ripped my husbands throat out today because he invited a buddy over and the house is a disaster, but he redeemed himself by doing the dishes (my most hated chore), and I had decided to allow him to live.
Recent Cravings: Still none.
Just Noticed: I'm very thirsty.

In good news- we got early Christmas presents the other day and one of them was our CRIB!! YAY! I am fighting the urge to start putting it together. It's killing me. But I think if I got it all together, we wouldn't be able to get H's desk and other office stuff out of the former office, now nursery. I don't think I'm going to kick him out of there until the middle of January. I might start the fight now so that he gives in by the middle of January. Seems practical.

Anyways- here is what I found so fascinating. Upon searching for gender predictors because I am bored out of my skull and avoiding doing household chores, I came upon some Old Wives Tales. Let's have a look:

It's a boy if:

• You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy

Okay, that does not include me. 0-1

• Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute

Nope...it was in the 150's, 160's both times it was measured 0-2

• You are carrying the extra weight out front

I'm not really carrying enough to judge. I call it a wash. 0-2

• Your belly looks like a basketball

Nope. Not yet at least. Another wash. 0-2

• Your areolas have darkened considerably

Lemme just check. Hope the neighbors aren't watching. Nope- still normal. 0-3

• You are carrying low

Once again, not showing enough to decide. Wash. 0-3

• You are craving salty or sour foods

No. 0-4

• You are craving protein -- meats and cheese

Ick. No. The only meat I really want is hot dogs...if you call those meat. But I can't have them, so that's the reason I'm craving them. 0-5

• Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy

I think they're about the same. No more freezing than usual. 0-6

• The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy

Like I care. I don't think it's any faster. I just don't shave it ever because I don't care! 0-7

• Your hands are very dry

No, which is surprising because winter normally dries my skin out. 0-8

• Your pillow faces north when you sleep

Like I know which way is North! Can't count this one! 0-8

• Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you

Hasn't gained a pound. 0-9. It's not looking good for DH's boy!

• Pregnancy has you looking better than ever

HA! No way! I look horrible. Kind of like I don't have access to water and got shoved through a meat grinder. Something like that. 0-10

• Your urine is bright yellow in color

Haven't noticed a difference. I'll keep an eye on it! 0-11

• Your nose is spreading

I hope not! Let me run to the mirror and check! Whew! No, it's still normal. 0-12

• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles

This is too much work. I'm not going to count it. Maybe after I get a bigger belly going. 0-12

• You are having headaches

DING DING DING! Point #1 for a baby boy! All the time! 1-13

• You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

Oh geez. I didn't know math was involved. Okay... 23 + 9 = 32... Oh...it's even! 2-14

So 2 out of 14... that's a 14% chance of having a boy.

It's a girl if:

• You had morning sickness early in pregnancy

That's me. 1-1

• Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute

Yes. 2-2

• You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear

No. 2-3

• Your left breast is larger than your right breast

Uh...let's see here. Nope. Look about the same to me. 2-4

• Your hair develops red highlights

Well...it could be because of the red hair dye. I'm not going to count this one. 2-4

• You are carrying high

Don't know yet. Wash. 2-4

• Your belly looks like a watermelon

Not out there enough! 2-4

• You are craving sweets

I suppose. I've always had a sweet tooth. I have to have my daily ice cream! 3-5

• You are craving fruit

Actually yes. Very surprising... 4-6

• You crave orange juice

Ugh! No! I hate orange juice! Always have. Gross. 4-7

• You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy

Haha...see my above post about the meat grinder! 5-8

• You are moodier than usual during pregnancy

Isn't everyone? 6-9

• Your face breaks out more than usual

I thought that happened to everyone, no matter what they were having. Yes. 7-10

• You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread

I have never eaten the butt of the bread. But I'll count it. 8-11

• Your breasts have really blossomed!

I wouldn't say really blossomed. I'd say they're bigger... Mmm... I don't know. I say no. 8-12

• Your pillow faces south when you sleep

Like I said...I wouldn't know if there was a compass on my ceiling. 8-12

• Your urine is a dull yellow color

Always has been. 9-13

• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side

Not counting this. 9-13

• You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number

No. 9-14

So the odds of me having a girl is 64%

14 + 64 = 78%

The odds that I'm having a gender-less beast = 22%

It's not looking good! Haha...just kidding. That was fun. I'll have to go find some other gender predictors to play around with.
