Since everyone is dying to know the gender of this baby (except me), I thought it would be fun this week to make some guesses based on old wives' tales.
1. Carrying baby low (okay, lower than last time): BOY
2. Baby's heart rate above 140: GIRL
3. No morning sickness: BOY
4. Craving sweets: GIRL
5. Belly looks more like a basketball than a watermelon: BOY
6. Weight gain primarily in front (belly): BOY
7. Increased acne: GIRL
8. Feet not any colder during pregnancy: GIRL
9. Leg hair growing at the same pace as before: GIRL
10. Bright urine (Sorry, TMI): BOY
11. Dad not gaining weight with me: BOY
12. Less attractive during pregnancy: GIRL
Hmmm, 6 GIRL and 6 BOY. That sorta leaves you with no real answer.
How about we try something else? Chinese gender predictor tests say GIRL and BOY. I took 4 different Internet tests and had equal responses for each. You'd think I could count on the Internet for reliability!
What we do know is that the baby should be right around 1lb this week and should be starting to look like a miniature newborn. His/Her eyelids and eyes have formed but there is no pigment yet in the irises. I will go out on a limb and say they'll be brown. Just a hunch.
There's not much more to report. I am feeling fine, with the exception of some lower back pain. I have not been very dedicated to walking as I was with baby 1, but use the excuse that I get a great deal of exercise chasing around Deviney every day. Also, it's been really hot. I actually decided yesterday it was time to get back into a routine so the alarm is now set to get up before anyone else and take an early morning stroll with the dog every day. Unless it's raining... or I am really tired:)
