Is Kara Having a Boy or a Girl??

1. Where are you carrying?  If you are like me, you couldn't tell when you are only 20 weeks along anyway so it doesn't matter, but supposedly if you carry high it's a girl, low it's a boy. Carry in front? It's a boy. If you expand the LONG way, it's a girl.

2. Skin. Girls "steal your beauty" - have you had zits/blemishes? It's a girl. Dry hands/cold feet? Boy (this didn't work for me... my feet were ALWAYS cold).

3. "Ring Swing". Take off your wedding ring, tie a string around it, and hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle, it's a boy... if it swings back and forth, it's a girl... I never did try this one.

4. There is one that calls for you to mix your pee with drano, but that is dangerous and can produce fumes. So, I read that instead, you pee in a cup and mix it with baking soda. If it fizzles, you are having a boy. If not, it's a girl.

5. Heart rate. If it's under 140, it's a boy... if it's over 140, it's a girl. This was true for us - her heart rate was always fast!

6. Cravings! If you are craving sweets, it's a girl. Salty or sour? It's a boy. I craved salt though.. and also spicy things... so I don't know.

7. Your age and birth month. Mayans: So - age at conception (24) and year your baby was conceived (2012). If both are even or odd, it's a girl (so...girl!). If it's one even one odd, it's a boy.  Or there is the Chinese method: Chinese Baby Sex Prediction Calendar

8. Sympathetic Pregnancy? If Zach has had pregnancy cravings too, and has put on a little weight, it's a girl! This was true for us :)

9. How was the morning sickness? If it was bad the first trimester, it's a girl. If you hardly had morning sickness, it's a boy!

10. This one someone else has to do to you so it is too late if you are reading this. But, place a key in front of someone who is pregnant and ask them to pick it up. If they pick up the narrow part, it's a girl. The wide part at the top? It's a boy.


But tomorrow the real test comes back!! AHH!!!
