We will be posting the gender of this little one when we find out, but for now, feel free to place your bets on whether Prim will be getting a brother or a sister come February!

1. If you have morning sickness, it’s a girl.  If you don’t, it’s a boy.
You all know that I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum with this pregnancy, aka morning sickness on steroids.  Result: GIRL

2. If you crave sweets, it’s a girl.  Craving sour/salt?  It’s a boy.
The first trimester I craved pretty much nothing because I was so sick. The random times that eating didn’t sound completely terrible I would want Mexican food. All the Mexican food.  Result: BOY

3. Use a Chinese Gender Predictor to predict the sex, based on your due date and birthday.
Based on my due date (February 20, 2017) and birthday (April 10, 1984), the Chinese predictor says it’s a girl.  (Though I should note that I tried this out with my sister’s birthday and her son’s due date and it said she was having a girl as well, so that should kind of tell you…)  Result: GIRL

4. If the baby’s heartbeat is regularly above 140 bpm, it’s a girl.  Below 140 bpm — it’s a boy.
Baby’s heart rate was routinely above 140 at each of our doctor’s appointment.  Result: GIRL

5. If you prefer sleeping on your right side, it’s a girl.  If you gravitate towards the left, it’s a boy.
I have been mostly sleeping on my left side this pregnancy.  Result: BOY

6. If you’re extra moody, it’s a girl.  If you’re even-keeled, it’s a boy.
I was pretty moody early on in this pregnancy, but it evened out faster than when I was pregnant with Prim.  Result: GIRL

7. If you’re clumsy, you’re having a boy.  Graceful as can be?  It’s a girl.
I am the most clumsy these days. It actually drives me a little nuts because I’m constantly dropping things.  Result: BOY

8. More headaches mean you’re having a boy, less means it’s a girl.
I haven’t had any change in the amount of headaches I get. I don’t get them much when I’m not pregnant and haven’t had many during this pregnancy.  Result: GIRL..?

9. If your hands are soft, it’s a girl.  If they’re dry, it’s a boy.
My hands are dry and scaly as ever (reptile hands!)  Result: BOY

10. If you’re carrying high, it’s a girl.  If your belly is low, it’s a boy.
Maybe it’s too early to tell this one, I don’t know, but I’ve been carrying on the lower side to this point.  Result: BOY

GIRL: 5 (ish) points  BOY: 5 points
