UPDATE: I had my NT scan today, and the nurse said it's probably a boy. It could have been swollen girl parts, but it looked pretty swollen to me to be a girl. Anyways, we'll find out for sure at the anatomy scan, but if it is a boy, I and the old wives tales were right! Chinese calendar: boy, Ramzi method: inconclusive, my placenta is anterior, I don't think it favored a side, Heart rate: 159 today, 140 initial scan at 7 weeks Salty/Sweet: boy, I don't want anything sweet, No baking soda test, Skin: Boy, the same if not better, String: boy and MS: Boy, wasn't that bad in comparison to some women.

Um ... so I guess I'm having a boy?! LOL DH thinks it's a girl.
Officially a GIRL! The Chinese gender calendar has been right for everyone I know so I'd like to think it's pretty accurate.
This is fun! For the record, I want a boy so I may be biased lol
Chinese gender calendar? (you have to go to one of those look up things - make sure to use one that calculates your lunar age!) Boy! Ramzi method? (placenta on left for girl, right for boy) Darn I'm not sure where the placenta is! I think the baby was sitting on the right.... I'm really not sure though. Heart rate? (140+ for a girl) It was right around 140 for the first U/S at 7 weeks, but I think it was faster at my OB appt. at 10 weeks. It sounded faster anyways, but they didn't give me a number Salty or sweet? (Sweets for a girl, salty/sour for a boy) I was craving salty all the time, but now my cravings have subsided. Although I'm currently eating lots of oranges Baking soda test? (Fizzes for a boy when you put BS in your pee) Haven't tried that How is your skin? (Worse for a girl?) My skin got better for awhile, but now it's back to pimply. Although I don't think mine is acne anyways, because acne medicine has never worked for me, no matter what kind I use. Ring on a string? (Circles for a boy, back and forth for a girl) At first it was going back and forth, but when I moved it to get it over my uterus better it started swinging in a circle. Morning sickness? (Worse with a girl) I never vomited, although I was very nauseous and gaggy for the last month. But I'm going to go with boy since in comparison to some women, the m/s really wasn't that bad.
UPDATE: Placenta is on the right ( I always feel way more movement on the left) heart rate has been steady at 150 for awhile now, Still out on the morning sickness thing, I still have issues with it at 20 weeks, but it's really only ever been nausea so....
Anyways, AS has confirmed that we are having a BOY!!
