Might as well put the results here while I'm at it

Using iVillage.co.uk's list of tests:

• It's a girl because I had morning sickness.
• It's a girl because her heartbeat was exactly 140bps at the last appointment.
• It's a boy because I'm carrying the weight out front.
• It's a girl because I'm carrying high.
• It has no gender because I can't decide if my belly is more like a basketball or a watermelon.
• It's a girl because I crave sweets (By the way, this is the funniest one I ever heard. Yes, yes, it's all the pregnancy's fault that I crave sweets. It has nothing to do with the fact that SWEETS ARE YUMMY.)
• It's a girl because I crave fruit and orange juice (I'm stretching the truth a little here, it's just been cranberry juice & apples, really)
• I refuse to choose between "Pregnancy has you looking better than ever" and "You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy" as I don't trust my objectivity.
• It's a girl because Dad isn't gaining weight. In fact, he's started working out regularly and losing weight. The bastard.
• It's a girl because (my age at time of conception + number for the month) = an odd number. Apparently this is the math used in [this site's version of] the chinese gender chart. Of course, this same chart claims that my existing son has some extra parts.

Well, there you have it then. My guess is right, it's a girl. But then what's a mom to do... on this quiz I got a 50%. So apparently that means it's a boy? Do you round up?

Of course, the reason I think it's a girl is because:

#1) I figure ya gotta think one way or the other and I'm guessing girl (FWIW I guessed boy last time, so I have a 100% success rate so far)

#2) This pregnancy is totally different from last time both in the type and timing of the various maladies as well as how I'm carrying. My sister, the mother of two boys, agrees with me that this is a telling sign, since her boys' pregnancies were like night and day.

Well, I'll either post in a month and eat some crow or crow from the rooftop that I was right.

My favorite test used to be the one that involved dangling a pendant above the belly and determining the gender from the motion of the pendant.

Speaking of baby's gender, and in reference to your comment (boys wearing pink) on my "Larry Summers is a Sexist Pig" post, if you didn't already see my post on my cross-dressing six year-old, you might enjoy it.
