Hello again friends, we are approaching the 20 week mark in this part of the world, and I'm getting very anxious to find out the sex of our baby dragon. The dragon has different plans however.
So there are a LOT of old wives tales out there that are supposed to tell you the sex of your baby; everything from what you crave to peeing on Draino (I am not kidding, Google it!). So of course, me being impatient and all, I figure I would try some of these things out, but NOT the Draino...that's gross!
1. How are you carrying? They say High is for a girl, and Low you're having a boy...well, the little dragon is camped out somewhere in the middle. 40% of people say I'm carrying high, 40% say low, and 20% say they can't tell I'm carrying at all yet! NEXT!
2. What are you craving? They say Sweets for a Girl and Sour & Salty means a Boy. Well, at the beginning, the dragon only liked Sour & Salty, but now I'm more into Sweet stuff, and Salty things...OH WELL, NEXT!!
3. Is your hubby gaining weight? They say if he is it's a girl, if he's not it's a boy. I say this is crap because Brian has horrible eating habits and can put on 5lbs one week and be down 7lbs the next...his weight is no reflection on the baby....NEXT!!!
4. How is your baby's heartbeat? Ah Ha! I thought for sure that the dragon couldn't outsmart the science of the Doppler! High Heart Rate is said to be a girl, lower for a boy. They say anything above 155 is higher and low is around 145. So at my appointment today, my OB is listening to the little dragon's heartbeat and I was proceeding to tell her about my Old Wives tale theory. We hear the Thud Thud Thud and I'm all smiles because I figured I finally outsmarted my dragon! WRONG!! I asked her what the heart rate was and its 150!! Right smack dab in the middle....WELL HELL CHILD!!
So that's where I'm leaving it. We have our 20 week ultrasound next Thursday, and God willing, the dragon will cooperate and let us know if it's a boy or a girl. Knowing this child, it probably have a hand covering the important bits to make us wait longer :)
Until next time.....
