Boy Or Girl
One thing that we have been looking forward to for quite some time is finding out whether the Sweet Pea was a boy or a girl via ultrasound. As the big day came closer, we all started to get antsy and looked for alternative ways to find out the gender.
Immediately, I thought to look at up Chinese Gender Prediction Charts, which base their predictions on the mother’s age at conception and the month of conception. The first one I found was on The Bump and showed that we would be having a bouncing baby boy.
However, further research concluded that there were many different Chinese Gender Prediction Charts available on the net with different answers on each, leaving our chances at closer to 50/50. So, we continued on in our search elsewhere.
Chris thought we should ask a Magic 8 Ball because those are obviously always 100% right. (Yeah, that was sarcasm.) While at Walmart, he asked the black sphere questions concerning both genders and the answers came up pretty much the same as these…
After that, Pinky was certain that it was a boy, but she still wanted to try out one last Old Wive’s Tale. Using my wedding band tied to a thread, she held it over my growing belly to see which direction the ring would sway. If it went in circles, the baby was female and if it went back and forth in a line, the baby was male. To her excitement, the ring went in circles and she quickly changed her mind about her future sibling’s sex. Seriously, she started planning matching outfits for her and her new sister to wear so that they could be twins.
Finally, the real truth came out when we had our ultrasound appointment last Thursday. And let me say that our little Sweet Pea is by no means a shy guy. That’s right. It’s a BOY! The little bambino made it very clear so that there was no question in our minds about his gender. I would even consider sharing a picture of the goods, if it weren’t his private parts. (Some things need to remain private, right?) However, I do have this adorable profile pic from the ultrasound tech.
