Is it a Boy? Or a Girl?

Last week, one of Marshall's doctors suggested we do the "Drano Test" to predict our baby's gender. So I said, hey, if we're going to do one of the tests, why not try them all? So that's exactly what we did this weekend. And here are the results:

Carrying Low/High - Girl
Drano Test - Boy
Heartbeat above/below 140 - Girl
Fruit/Sweet Cravings or Sour/Meat Cravings - Girl
Husband Weight Gain/Loss - Boy
Hanging Pendant/Ring - Boy
Pregnant Acne - Girl
Key Pick-Up - Boy
Morning Sickness 1st Trimester Only - Boy
Colder Feet - Boy
Bed Pillow Faces North/South - Girl
Scrawny or Luscious Hair -Boy

We were told beforehand that each of these "Old Wives Tales" have about a 50% chance of being true. Sure enough, after completing these tests and having 7 predict Boy and 5 predict Girl, it's too close to pick a clear "winner". But it sure was fun! I guess we'll just have to wait for our ultrasound appointment in 1 ½ weeks when the doctor tells us what we're having.

Here are some pictures we took during these tests:

we threw the cup away afterwards)
