Boy or Girl?

We're going to be finding out the gender of #2 in the next few weeks. Before then I thought it would be fun to see what y'all think we're having.

1 - Chinese Gender Calendar- GIRL
According to my lunar age I was 24 and concieved in the 10th month.

2 - Even and Odd Test - GIRL

23,11

(odd, odd or even, even = girl .. odd,even = boy)
{this is hard because I, like most people, don't know an exact conception date}

3 - Ring Test - GIRL

But, with Kaidence it always moved in a straight line-which is the symbol for boy. Maybe I'm just backwards-ha!

4 - Old Wives Tale Test - BOY
{found online}

5 - Cravings - BOY
I'm really into sour candy, icees, spicy food, and red meat.

6 - Heart Rate - BOY
157 BPM - All the online sources had anything over 160 is a girl. Close to 160, but not quite



So, we've got a 50% chance for a boy & 50% chance for a girl ;)
Ha!

Any other fun tests or wives tales I should do before the big ultrasound?

Not quite sure how that's possible since I had a burger two meals in a row this weekend. Ha! Oops ;) 

Maternity Clothes: I can still wear regular, but who doesn't love comfy marternity clothes? I'm especially loving maternity pants & leggings.

Gender: No clue. And, it's killing me to wait!!!!

Sleep: Great!

What I miss: SUSHI!

Cravings: Sour candy & orange juice.

Best Moment This Week: Hearing Kaidence say the names we have picked out. She can't say the boy name and says Lemon instead! It's seriously SO precious!

Details.

First Positive At-Home - 11/18/2011

Due Date - 08/01/2012

How Far Along - I'm 10 weeks, but will be 11 weeks tomorrow.

Names - We have 100% decided on a boy name. If this baby is a girl, she may be named NoNa (No Name) because we cannot agree on a girl name.

Kaidence's thoughts - She is excited. She thinks she has a puppy in her belly! Ha! She even feeds it random snacks through her belly button. ;)

So far everything looks good. We had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and saw a heart beat. My second appointment was last Thursday, I was 10 weeks, 1 day. The baby is growing right on track and has a strong heartbeat!

Kaidence has BIG news ....
