Let's go through the signs and symptoms, shall we?
I'm craving sweets...
Baby's heartrate was above 140...
I have some pregnancy-related acne...
I didn't have any morning sickness...
I'm not excessively hairy with this pregnancy...
I am "carrying high" - look like I swallowed a basketball...
SRH has gained weight right along with me...
I took 8 cranberry supplements and chugged Lydia Pinkham's tonic the week before I ovulated...
The needle/wedding ring swung in large circles over my tummy...
And, of course, the drano didn't bubble when I mixed it with my urine...
...It must be a girl!
(and here I thought I needed an ultrasound to confirm the news)
HA! I love all the gender "tests". I had so much fun with those.
ReplyDeleteI knew it!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I am beyond thrilled.
"SRH has gained weight right along with me..."
ReplyDeleteHey, I started gaining a while ago. I am not sure this should be one of the "indicators."
Everyone who has seen me carrying high has said that it means I'm having a boy...although I'm not. I'm so confused!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

ReplyDeleteThose "tests" crack me up. Although for purposes of full disclosure, I should say that I didn't actually do any of them. Well, I guess I did the ultrasound one, but that wasn't really me doing that one.

Somehow many people had a sense that this one was a girl. Almost everyone except SRH's father, who was quite shocked, I'll tell you.
SRH-
Tongue in cheek, my love. Your gaining weight just happened to be under "girl" criteria, so I threw it in there.
Everyone knows you've been a Fatty McFatterstein for much longer than this pregnancy. :)

See, I thought "carrying high" meant a boy as well. So far at 5' 2" tall I've "carried high" both times.
Late to the party, but congratulations any way. :) Have to admit, I've never heard of the urine/drano thing. Time to put Google to work (on second thought, maybe not).
