Just for Fun: Old Wives Tales
hp_momma
member
I know there are quite a bit who have found out the sex of their baby/babies through early testing, but there are a lot of us who are counting down the weeks/days for the anatomy ultrasound or are Team Green! I know Old Wives Tales are basically a 50/50 guess, but I thought this might be fun during the second trimester lull!
If you've already found out the sex, please still feel free to play along as it will be interesting to see how accurate the Old Wives Tales are compared to your actual results!

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

1. Babies Heart Rate
I think this worked for one kid and then was on the border for the other (my conception date was right around the change of two months, and I think I literally had sex in one month but ovulated in the next.)
We are team green so we won't know until delivery!
Speaking of old wives' tales, one that they "proved" to be true was heartburn = kid with a full head of hair. That one worked for me! I got heartburn both times and two kids with full heads of hair. The boy lost his hair after a month but the girl kept hers and we've never cut it! It is very long and curly now. I've already had a hint of heartburn this time around (I so do not look forward to 3rd trimester!) so I'm thinking I'll get another hairy kid.
Girl
Results?
Inconclusive. Probably leaning more toward girl. We'll find out when he/she gets here!
