Baby Boy or Baby Girl?

I went online and looked up old wives tales on how to determine the gender of a baby.  Here are our results (luckily Will agreed to do these fun silly tests):

Take off your wedding ring, tie it to a piece of string, and hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle, you are promised a boy; back and forth indicates a girl.

N: wedding ring back and forth- girl!

The Old Drano Experiment

This one is as old as it is weird. The mom-to-be is required to pee in a cup, and mix in a tablespoon of Drano. If the liquid turns green, you're having a girl. Blue? You guessed it. It's a boy.

N: yellow

This experiment uses baking soda. If the mixture fizzles, it's a boy. If it doesn't, you've got yourself a girl.

N: no fizzing- Girl!

Your baby's heart rate might be an indicator of its gender. If your little one's heart rate is under 140 beats per minute, you're having a little boy. If it's over, get ready for your little girl!

N: last week heart beat 144

N: Girl!

Chinese birth charts use your age at conception and the month you conceived to determine the sex of your baby.

N: It's a boy!  Or A girl! Different websites said different outcomes.

The Mayans used a similar method. They looked at your age at conception and the year your baby was conceived. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one is even and one is odd, oh baby — it's a boy!

N: age of conception 28, year baby was conceived 2013- one even one odd

N: Boy!

Actually, morning sickness means pink. If you're stricken with a queasy stomach during your first trimester, think ribbons and bows. If you sail through your pregnancy with nary an upset stomach, it's blue all the way.

N: Boy!

Place a key in front of her and ask her to pick it up.  If she grabs it by the narrow part, she'll have a sweet little girl. If she picks it up by the round part, she'll have an adorable little boy.

N: round part- boy!

Total:

Boy-3

Girl-3

Boy or Girl?
For a wonderful lesson in class I had students predict if my baby will be a boy or a girl (yes there are many skills being taught and used in this lesson).

Some girls and boys predicted girl and all boys and my aide predicted boy.  They were so excited to find out the next day, they were just giddy with excitement to know.
