fun Q&A for guessing the gender

Fill in your answers to these and then confirm if you're having a boy or girl! (or come back and update if you find out later!)

We're team green, but I'm already having fun with answering some of these old wives tale questions to guess the gender (especially since at DH's niece's communion over the weekend his whole family said I'm having a boy! How they can guess at 15 weeks along, I have no idea! lol

It's a 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 in front
Your belly looks like a basketball
Your areola 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 too -
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever -
Your urine is a bright yellow in colour –
Your nose is spreading –
If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, 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 the number is even –

It's a 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 gets red highlights –
You are carrying high –
Your belly looks like a watermelon –
You crave sweets -
You crave 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 in colour –
If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves from side to side –
If you add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is odd -

Re: fun Q&A for guessing the gender

I'll go first

It's a if:

You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy – EXPERIENCED NAUSEA, BUT NOT THROWING UP
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute - NO
You are carrying the extra weight out in front - SO FAR, YES
Your belly looks like a basketball - TOO SOON TO TELL
Your areola have darkened considerably - NO
You are carrying low - TOO SOON TO TELL
You are craving salty or sour foods - YES
You are craving protein - meats and cheese - NO
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy –NOT REALLY (FEET ARE USUALLY COLD)
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy - YES
Your hands are very dry - YES
Your pillow faces north when you sleep – ??? This is a strange question lol
Dad-to-be is gaining weight too - YES (hehe)
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever - Yes, or at least it doesn't have me looking any worse for the wear yet!
Your urine is a bright yellow in colour – NO IDEA, haven't noticed!
Your nose is spreading – NO CHANGE YET
If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves in circles – HAVEN’T TRIED IT
You are having headaches - SOMETIMES, COULD BE ALLERGIES
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is even – DEPENDS, IF I CONCEIVED IN JANUARY, # IS ODD (33), IF IN FEBRUARY, EVEN (34)

It's a if:

You had morning sickness early in pregnancy - EXPERIENCED NAUSEA, BUT NOT THROWING UP
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute - YES
You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear - SO FAR NO
Your left breast is larger than your right breast – HAVEN’T NOTICED
Your hair gets red highlights – USUALLY DOES ANYWAY
You are carrying high – TOO SOON TO TELL
Your belly looks like a watermelon – TOO SOON TO TELL
You crave sweets - NO
You crave fruit YES
You crave orange juice -YES
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy - NO
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy - YES
Your face breaks out more than usual – SAME AS USUAL
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread – YES, BUT I DON’T EVER ANYWAY
Your breasts have really blossomed! - YES
Your pillow faces south when you sleep - ???
Your urine is a dull yellow in colour – NO IDEA
If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves from side to side – HAVEN’T TRIED IT
If you add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is odd - DEPENDS, IF CONCEIVED IN JANUARY, # IS ODD (33), IF IN FEBRUARY, EVEN (34)

Some of these are funny, I'd imagine the color of my urine has more to do with how hydrated I am than the gender of my baby!! And the pillow thing is just bizarre!
