The Results are In...

Last night I decided to test out all of the "Old Wives Tales" of the gender prediction world to see if the tests could accurately determine what we are having.  I found 8 different versions that didn't seem to be to hokey that I put to the test.  I was going to do 9, but after finding out that the Drano test involved toxic fumes I decided to pass.  

1.  Parents.com Quiz:  Boy

     This quiz was very similar to the actual "old wives tales" quiz, but with a few random one inserted into     

     it.  Questions on leg hair, cravings, weight gain, and questions of the personal sort that I will not 

     mention.

2.  Chinese Lunar Calendar:  Girl

     Based on my age and the lunar calendar when this baby was actually conceived.  I don't know why I 

     put more validity in this one...I'm a big fan of acupuncture so all Eastern Medicine must be right-

     right?!?  

3.  Old Wives Tale Quiz:  Boy

      Similar to the Parents.com 

4.  Heart Beat:  Girl

     Our little one's HB has been above 140 every time, so according to this method the baby is a girl.

5.  String tied to the wedding ring:  Girl

     This one required the help of Rob, and we could stop laughing while we were doing it.  It took    

     forever.

6.  Math Formula:  Boy

     This one took my age and added the month the baby was conceived, and it was an odd number.

7.  About.com:  Boy

     This one kept asking what position my pillow faced at night which was weird, but I guess none of 

     these are actually scientific.

8.  Sexwizard.com:  Boy

     This website advertised that it has pretty accurate results, so I tried this one as well.  It was more of the 

     same, so it was no surprise when it came back boy as well!

So according to most of the tests that require I answer questions about my pregnancy itself, they pointed to BOY (5/8) or 63% chance.  The other three tests that pointed to girl don't have much in common (37% chance), so we shall see what it comes back as on Thursday!
