Halfway done!!

It's crazy to think that I'm already 20 weeks along. I went to the doctor (finally) on Thursday. He gave me a due date of "late june." haha... So we'll say June 30th. I didn't get an ultrasound, but we scheduled one for tomorrow afternoon! So we will probably find out the sex of the baby then. We did hear a healthy heartbeat, so that was awesome! I can't wait til tomorrow.

Like I've said before, I feel like the baby is a boy. The only reason I'm so sure is because the chinese gender chart said it would be, and the fact that there are so many boys in our family helps that hypothesis. I've been looking at the silly old wives tales you hear about that figure out the sex of the baby. I've observed them all and most of them point to GIRL. Here they are.


Old wives tale #1:
Heart Rate under 140: boy
Over 140: Girl
Mine was 152 = Girl

Old Wives Tale #2:
Tie your wedding ring to a string and hold it over your pregnant belly.
If the ring swings back and forth: Girl
If the ring spins in a circle: Boy
My ring swung back and forth: Girl

Old Wives Tale #3
Chinese Gender Chart
According to the chart: Boy

Old Wives Tale #4
Dad gaining weight too: Boy
Dad not gaining weight: Girl
Keith is the same. GIRL

Old Wives Tale #6
Growing more hair like your leg hair: Boy
Growing same amount of hair: Girl
Mine has actually slowed down... so Girl.

Old Wives Tale #7
Craving Sweet: Girl
Craving Sour: Boy
I have enjoyed the sweets. Girl

Old Wives Tale #8
Morning sickness in the morning or not at all: Boy
Morning sickness all day or at night: Girl
Nauseated all day, but mostly the morning. I only threw up once, so I don't know if that counts. We'll say BOY for this one.

Old Wives Tale #9:
Acne
If you don't have very much acne or none at all: Boy
If your acne has gotten much worse: Girl
It got worse than EVER. Girl

Old Wives Tale #10
Sleep more on your left side: Boy
Sleep more on your right side: Girl
I usually sleep on my right side. Girl

Old Wives Tale #11
Carrrying high: Girl
Carrying low: Boy
I think I'm in the middle. Undecided.


We shall find out soon!

Now for the bi-weekly update.

How far along? 20 Weeks

Maternity clothes? I got a bunch from a lady in my ward who is about the same size as me, and I've also spent some money at Ross and Old Navy. It's very exciting. I've started to wear the pants. I don't think I'll go back to regular pants. They're sooo comfortable!!

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: It's still most comfortable to sleep on my back, but I know I shouldn't so I try to catch myself.

Best moment this week: Hearing baby's heartbeat for the first time.

Miss Anything? My breath. I get winded so much easier these days.

Movement: Yes, baby loves to kick when I sit or lay down after a day's work.

Food cravings: None recently, really.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Have you started to show yet: So much so that customers at HL ask me about it.

Gender: Still thinking it's a boy. We'll find out tomorrow, hopefully!

Labor Signs: No, thank you.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. A stranger has said that I'm "glowing" this week. haha

Looking forward to: First ultrasound tomorrow!!!!

Another funny thing from last week: I was ringing up a customer at work, and she asked me "How far bred are you?"

I said "...I don't know what that means..." she pointed to my belly. I asked "You can tell?" and she said "Yes, and it's going to be a boy!"

She was the first stranger to ask me how far along I was, and she used a term for livestock. Thanks, lady! lol
