18 Week: Will Baby M be a He or a She?!

Wow you guys. I wrote this post to inform you all of what I've been up to lately and I couldn't even list three things. The truth is I've just been crazy busy with work. Well that and growing a human. Truth is, after a long day of work and meetings all I really have energy for is eating dinner, maybe a shower and then I'm ready for bed. But work is finally slowing down a  little and I have a little more free time.

BUT this week, something amazing is happening! We get to find out the sex of our little nugget on Wednesday! And I just could not be more excited.

Here's what the old wive's tales say:

Heartbeat: Above 140 says girl, below says boy. The first time was 170, the second appointment 145. Girl

Bulge: Out front says boy, in hips and back says girl. I think out front, someone please tell me if this is just wishful thinking… Boy

Belly Looks Like: Basketball says boy, Watermelon says girl. Watermelon… Girl

Boobies: We won't go into detail, my dad reads this blog. Boy

Looks: More beautiful than normal means boy, less than normal, girl. People have told me I'm glowing, but I'm also breaking out like a teenager… Girl

Urine: Bright means boy, dull means yellow. Boy

Wedding Ring: In circles means boy, sideways means girl. Boy

Cravings: Salty and Sour means boy, Sweet means girl. Fruit, smoothies, juice. That's the only consistent thing. Girl

Current age + Month of Conception: even means boy, odd means girl. 26 Boy

Chinese Calendar: Girl

Justin thinks: Girl

I think: Boy

Boy: 6
Girl: 6
