| Our baby's best impression of a peanut. |
And just for fun, here are some old wives' tales about figuring out the gender of the child:
Highs and Lows: if you're carrying high, break out the pink. If your bump is low, you're carrying a boy.
Be Still My Beating Heart: According to legend, 140+ beats per minute indicates a girl, and below 140 a boy.
Sweet and Sour: Craving ice cream every single day? Some people believe this means it's a girl. If you have to have salty or sour stuff, then it's a boy.
Even and Odd: Legend has it that the Mayans determined a baby's sex by looking at the mother's age at conception and the year of conception. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one's even and one's odd, it's a boy
Spot On: If you're breaking out like crazy, blame it on your girl babe. The belief goes that girls steal their mother's beauty, hence, those annoying zits.
Queasy Does It: Sick as a dog during the first trimester -- or still? Signs indicate you're having a girl. Little or no morning sickness points to a boy.
So how do I score? I'm carrying high(er), the fetal heartbeat at our last appointment was 144 bpm, I've been craving fruit, root beer, and boba tea drinks, I was 29 when I conceived in 2009, I have not had any skin breakouts or irritation, and I was nauseous throughout my first trimester but I never threw up and it subsided right around the 14 week mark. Any guesses on the gender of our baby??

How precious! Go, little peanut, go!
