I had #1, 2, 5, and 6 all true for me, and I am carrying a little man!!! I was so sold on the high heartbeat thing I had a hard time believing he was a boy, so the tech showed me MULTIPLE shots to erase any doubt in my mind! Lol! Fyi, I did an elective sonogram - I know they are controversial, but it was pretty short (20 minutes) but since not for medical reasons, she took "requests" on what we would like to see. It was pretty awesome
