13 weeks

Today was the second doctors appointment and Dr. Judd was out of town on a family emergency. Which I didn't mind considering I have had a fairly easy pregnancy (in comparison to others) and I don't have a ton of questions for the doctor. We have not felt you move again since that day but that's alright, apparently I should not feel anything for a while longer. I got to hear your heartbeat again, today it was at 153 BPM. The theory states that if your baby’s heart rate was 140 beats per minute and above, you would be having a girl. If the heart rate was under 140 beats per minute, then you would be having a boy. This time I got to listen for a minute and had to record it because your Dad could not come to this appointment. In 3 weeks we find out if you are a boy or a girl. According to several wives tales this is what we have decided so far. 




It's a boy if:
  • You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy.
  • Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute.
  • You are carrying the extra weight out front.
  • Your belly looks like a basketball.
  • Your areolas have darkened considerably.
  • You are carrying low.
  • You are craving salty or sour foods.
  • You are craving protein -- meats and cheese.
  • Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy.
  • The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy.
  • Your hands are very dry.
  • Your pillow faces north when you sleep.
  • Dad-to-be is gaining weight right along with you.
  • Pregnancy has you looking better than ever.
  • Your urine is bright yellow in color.
  • Your nose is spreading.
  • You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles.
  • You are having headaches.
  • You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number.

It's a girl if:
  • You had morning sickness early in pregnancy.
  • Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute.
  • You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear.
  • Your left breast is larger than your right breast.
  • Your hair develops red highlights.
  • You are carrying high.
  • Your belly looks like a watermelon.
  • You are craving sweets.
  • You are craving fruit.
  • You crave orange juice.
  • You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy.
  • You are moodier than usual during pregnancy.
  • Your face breaks out more than usual.
  • You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread.
  • Your breasts have really blossomed!
  • Your pillow faces south when you sleep.
  • Your urine is a dull yellow color.
  • You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side
  • You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number. 23+12=35





The bold are things I currently having and so at this point, it looks like you are a girl!
