boy or girl?

we went in for our "big" gender reveal ultrasound today.. 
and i'm excited to announce we're having a............................................ ? 
you see, baby decided to be shy and not reveal his/her gender. boo! it was like waking up on christmas without presents. okay so i'm being a bit dramatic. our baby is-so far-completely healthy, and really, that's what matters! 


so since science can't tell me what i'm having, i've decided to look into every old wives tale there is (pretty much equivalent to scientific evidence, right?) all of the italian women have said they think i'm having a boy, because, according to an italian old wives tale, if the woman is having a girl she isn't pretty during the pregnancy- as she is passing on the beauty to her daughter. interesting, but how do you tell a pregnant woman it looks as if she's having a girl, especially now, since it seems my feelings are currently made of glass, i would be totally insulted...


so let's see what we're having...

Sleep Position

Pay attention to which way you lay down in bed tonight. If you prefer sleeping on your left side, you’ll have a boy. Right side? You’re pregnant with a girl.

Upset Stomach

Little girls aren’t always sweet. Extreme nausea means you are having a daughter.

girl

Soft or Dry Hands

If your hands are dry during pregnancy, you are having a boy; soft—expect a girl.

Food Cravings

Your favorite pregnancy foods may tell you what sex the baby is. If you’re craving citrus while pregnant, you’re having a girl.

girl

Adult Acne
If altering hormones makes your skin break out, expect a girl.
boy

Graceful or Clumsy PregnancyIf you feel as though you’re gliding through they day, you’ll have a girl. Stumbling? It’s a boy.

Face Weight Gain

If your face gets fuller, it means you’re having a girl.

Sugar and Spice Food Cravings

Craving salt during pregnancy? Potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn means a boy is on the way. Need a little something sweet? Ice cream, chocolate, and candy means you’re having a girl.

Mood Changes

If you’re experiencing pregnant mood-swings, expect a baby girl to arrive soon.

High or Low Pregnant Belly

If you’re carrying the baby low on your stomach, expect a boy. If it’s high, you’re having a girl.

Baby Weight

If you’re carrying baby in front, it’s a boy. Is the baby weight spaced all around your middle? It’s a girl.

Model Your Hands

“Show me your hands.” If you would hold your hands palms up it’s a girl. Down? You’re having a boy.

Key to PregnancyIf you pick up a key by the round end, you’re having a boy. If it’s by the long end? A girl.

Baby’s HeartbeatIf the baby’s heart beats more than 150 times per minute, you’re pregnant with a girl. Less than 150, it’s a boy.
