Old Wives Tales

sopsongbird

Today at work, a co-worker asked me what I've been eating since I've been preg. and I mentioned that I have been loving chips/salsa, salads with Caesar, and buffalo sauce.  She immediately says, you're gonna have a girl.  Huh?  She goes, everyone I know (including myself) have craved spicy/hot foods when they are having a girl. 

I wonder if there's any truth to this!  Any other fun wives tales you've heard lately?

I didn't crave hot/spicy foods with my DD. I craved meat and salty things. With this one I'm lucky to just eat anything... :-&

Supposedly sugar meant girl and salt meant boy. I craved salt in the beginning and sugar made me nauseous with both pregnancies. But I could eat whatever at the end. I have a girl. Although I did several gender predictor things just for fun since we didn't find out the gender. All said boy all were wrong.

I craved spicy foods with my son, so did my sil. Both of my sil said they couldn't get enough fruit and sweet stuff with their girls.
