Sugar & Spice or Snakes & Snails

In just under two weeks, we have an ultrasound to determine if Baby Bean Holloway is a girl or a boy. I was very smart in my scheduling. The ultrasound is set for the day we return from Hawaii. Oh have I mentioned we are going to Hawaii? We are Aloha bound this Saturday morning and will spend 10 glorious days soaking up sun and relaxation. I figured the vacation would keep my mind off the gender scan and the gender scan would make me want to return from paradise.

I love hearing the old wives' tales about how to determine the baby's gender. Here are a few of the predictions I have received:

• Chinese Gender Prediction Chart says GIRL;
• I'm carrying the baby high, which says GIRL;
• My feet aren't colder than they were before I was pregnant, GIRL;
• I won't eat the heal of a loaf of bread, GIRL;
• Dad-to-be hasn't gained any weight, GIRL;
• Morning sickness early on, GIRL
• No major chest enlargement, BOY;
• Sum of my age at conception & month of conception are even, BOY;
• A needle and thread held over my belly moves in circles, BOY;
• Craving salty foods, not sweet, BOY;
• Craving fruit over meat, GIRL;
• Baby's heart rate was over 140, GIRL.

So 8 out of 12 predictors say its a GIRL. My dreams tell me its a BOY. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

While we wait to see what Baby Bean Holloway truly is, let's have a little fun! Leave me your prediction for boy or girl, along with a name suggestion for your chosen gender in the comment section. I can't wait to hear it!
