The leading "Diaper Bag Dilemma" Contender

So I read all of your comments and suggestions for the my diaper bag dilemma.
You guys really were a big help. Thank you for all of your suggestions!
It seems that we have lots of "Petunia Pickle Bottom" fans out there.
However, I'm going to risk losing even more of you by saying that while I love a lot of their bag designs, the fabrics really aren't me.
I'm just not sure I could pull them off personally. You know what I mean?

Enter this little beauty.


LOVE.
This, my friends, is a "JP Lizzy Classic Diaper Tote in Mocha Mint".

I love it's classic look with fresh pink & green stripes.
& That polka dot bow?? I die.

It looks feminine without screaming "PINK" which is a very common problem I'm finding in all things baby girl.
The hubs would totally pick this up and carry it without feeling "too" much like he was carrying a purse or pink glittery butterflies were attacking him.
It comes with all of the things pictured above, Diaper bag, changing pag, cosmetic bag and wristlet.

There are 2 adjustable bottle pockets inside, along with several of other pockets, it's made out of a "wipe-able" microfiber fabric with a wipe-able interior liner.
AND
It converts with stroller straps, where you can just hook it on & go.

So after days of deliberating, I think this is probably the one.
Now if I could somehow figure out how to get them "Buy one get one free" so I could this one too...



Well then I would just be in heaven.

Pipsqueak says....

"Y'all are all crazy. I'm growing just fine and have plenty of fluid in here. Now quit poking me with that ultrasound wand."

My goodness, someone was sassy this morning.
She was making some serious waves in there while we were trying to get a good look at her.
The Ultrasound tech was shocked and very humored by how much you could see her move from the outside.
I swear, sometimes it looks like she is just gonna bust right out.
Anyways...

The growth scan showed nothing but good things, and the Dr said that we had a perfectly fine, healthy, growing baby, who was not even one day behind where she should be.
So the only person measuring small around here is me, which is an awesome blessing.

Thank you all so much for all the comments, support and e-mails you sent yesterday.
Sometimes it's too easy to worry about all of the 'what-if's', but you guys made me feel so much better.

I am so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you & proud to call you my friends!

32 Week Update & Prayer Request.

If you don't mind, pray for me and Pipsqueak tonight.

We went for our 32 week appointment today and the Dr was just a little concerned.
Nothing major, but I'm measuring a little on the small side, so he scheduled a growth scan ultrasound for tomorrow morning.

He said it could be a couple things, none of which were cause for alarm, but still.

1. She could just be a small baby. Which is totally possible because I was less than 5 & 1/2 lbs at birth and the hubby was not quite 6lbs. So genetically speaking, we may just make smaller babies.

2. I could be leaking some amniotic fluid. Which still isn't a huge deal, but a bigger deal than just her being small.
They will measure the fluid level at the growth scan tomorrow and assess whether or not that is the issue.
If it is, then depending on how much fluid is there, I'll be put on modified bed rest, they will check the level frequently and Pipsqueak may need to be delivered a few weeks early.

He said more than likely, she's just small, but by doing the growth scan he will have a basis to measure her growth by over the next few weeks. At 37 weeks, he will probably do another scan and assess whether she would thrive and grow better by staying inside, or if she would be better off outside.

Afterwards I called my mom to give her the update, and she gave me both good and bad news. The good news was they did & thought the exact same thing when she was pregnant with me. I was just small, but they did all the growth scans and debated whether or not I would thrive better as an outside baby.

The bad news was that she leaked fluid with my sister. So they put her on bed rest, monitored her fluid and eventually delivered her 6 weeks early.

LOL, she was a big help wasn't she?

Oh! & he put me on antibiotics because they found a small trace of bacteria and I got my first stretch mark.
I'm falling apart people!

But stretch marks aside. More than anything I'm just a little worried about my little girl today. I'm sure it's probably nothing to be concerned about yet, but anytime the Dr. is even the slightest bit concerned, it's hard not to worry.
It makes you feel like maybe you've done something wrong, or maybe there was something that you could have or should have done differently.
Maybe my body isn't giving her everything she needs and that makes you feel like you're failing somehow.
I don't know.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
So if you don't mind, just keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight.
Thanks.

Saturday Surprise!

I don't normally post on saturday.....but I took new belly pictures this morning!

::waves hi::


And from the other side...


You can see her with my shirt down now!
:happy dance:
Unless I'm wearing my super comfy, oversized Georgia sweatshirt...which I do...probably too much.

Happy Saturday! Get out there & enjoy the sunshine. I've got bulbs to plant!


*Anybody else have a total "Amelia Bedelia" flashback when I said I was planting bulbs?

I loved me some Amelia Bedelia...come to think of it, that actually explains a lot.*

Breaking news!

I FELT A FOOT!
with little toes!!!!!

Pip has been doing this thing where she stretches really big & presses her feet against my right side. It's so weird because this little lump pops up almost on my back but as soon as I press & feel against it, she moves it and it disappears. I have been assuming that it was a foot because the hard spot itself is only about 2 inches long.

But this morning I got confirmation...or as close to confirmation as you can get without actually being able to see inside, and well...that would just be creepy.

When she started pressing hard, I started lightly running my fingers over the spot, seeing where it started and stopped. Then I started pressing just a little harder around the edges & I felt a slight change in texture/shape from one side to the other on one end, like little bitty bumps!
Then she moved. Little stinker.

Just for the record, the bump that comes up does not look like this...


(sidenote: Isn't that a creepy-ishly cool picture though? I'm thinking photoshop)

But that's kinda what it feels like, just up by my ribs.


**I'm sorry that the blog has been baby central this week! I had a totally different post planned for today & then felt her little toes, & I couldn't contain myself! Non-baby stuff tomorrow, pinky promise!**

Nursery Sneak Peak

I had this great post planned about this "Amish friendship bread" that I was going to be baking this morning, but when I started gathering my ingredients I realized I was missing something & am going to have to go to the store before I can start baking...
So that post will have to wait until tomorrow!

In the meantime, anybody want to see a little of Pipsqueak's nursery?

Here's the hubs inspecting all of the crib pieces!



He's a fast worker!



And then of course, I had to put all the bedding in there, even though I'll have to take it off to wash it before long.



Isn't it cute?



That's all for now.
I'm working on a few other little craft projects for her room, but you'll have to wait till I finish!

10..9..8.. We're getting closer to blastoff!

That's right. I'm officially 30 weeks!
Man, that is soo hard to believe, but things have been going great so I can't complain.
I'm excited about my countdown going into single digits, it just seems so surreal.

Twice a year our region does a huge indoor consignment sale. A lot of it is absolutely brand new stuff, with the tags still on it. They have cribs, pack-n-plays, diapers, blankets, crib sets, toys, bottles. You name it, they have some.
It is very cool & you can save tons of $!
My BFF and I went on Sunday afternoon & I scored some awesome deals for the Pipsqueak including a Baby Einstein Bouncer/Rocker with Mp3 attachment for only $12.

Oh! And the clothes! You wouldn't have believed the racks & racks of clothes.
I didn't buy a whole lot, but I got some things that were just too cute to pass up.

While I was shopping, I realized a few things about myself. Over the past few months I have developed a few addictions.
I know that admitting you have a problem is the first step, so here is my "baby girl clothing addicts anonymous" introduction....

Hi, My name is Pippy & I'm addicted to.....

1. Polka Dots
(To be honest, I was already addicted to polka dots but polka dots on little girls clothes has taken my addiction to a whole new level.)



2.'ruffle-butts'.



3. Sleepers with little footsies. Esp. if they look like a shoe or cute cuddly animal.



4. Little dresses with matching hats & shoes.



5. Little pink sneakers.



I almost can't handle the cuteness of these. They are one of my favorite pipsqueak items so far.

We put the crib together this weekend so stay tuned for a nursery sneak peak sometime this week!

"Y'all need to find a cracker barrel..."

Can I really be 29 weeks?
Seriously? That can't be possible, can it?

I passed my 3-hour glucose test like a champ! Typing is tough with band-aids on 4 fingers, especially on the iPhone. I clicked on the wrong contact to call several times yesterday...whoops.

We did a little nursery furniture shopping while we were gone this weekend, & have decided on the rest of our furniture. It should be here within 2-4 weeks.
The funniest thing happened while shopping for our glider though, yall are gonna loooove this.

Backstory: Like a good nesting wife & soon to be mother, I have researched all kinds of different gliders & rockers, how much they cost, how long they take to order, where you can get them from, ect. The other night I showed the hubby a picture of the one that I had decided I wanted & where I could get it for the best price.
Like a man, he was just positive that we could find it at a furniture store cheaper & negotiate with them on the price.

Fast forward to Saturday: We get up and go to a reputable baby furniture store in the Atlanta area, because while he is positive that they probably have what I'm looking for at Rooms-to-go, I'm positive that they will not. I persuade him to go with me to the baby store first, so at least he can see exactly what it is that I'm wanting. Then we can go where ever he thinks they might have one.

We pull up and sure enough, there in the window of the baby store, is a chair just like what I'm wanting. He kind of puffs up and says "See! I knew we could find one in a store, & I bet we can negotiate to get it cheaper than what you found online."
I just smiled, because I knew what all of you probably know, my husband has never stepped foot in a baby furniture store & had no idea what kind of price tag he was about to encounter.
It was TRIPLE what I found online & they said ::insert best snooty salesperson voice here:: "Well we don't really lower the price on our floor models, because by selling them, we're really doing YOU a favor, since you don't have to order one."
A favor indeed.

As we walked to the car, he said "I think you did a little more research than I assumed that you had, I'm thinking the one you found was probably the best deal" but since rooms-to-go was practically right next door, we decided that we would go in there, just to check & see if they had one.
Now that the hubby knows exactly what I'm looking for, he walks up to a salesperson & begins to describe it. The convo goes a little something like this:

Hubs: Excuse me, we're looking for a rocker/glider for our nursery
Salesman: ::blankstare:: you mean, like a lay-z-boy?
Hubs: No, not really a recliner. This looks more like a stationary chair, but it rocks/glides when you sit in it.
Salesman: :light of recognition flashes in his eyes: OH!! No man, we don't carry those here. What you need is to find you a cracker barrel, they have all kinds of those sitting out front on their porch, there's one right down the road on the left...
Pippy: :biting lip to keep from laughing:
Hubs: Um, no. It's not really a rocking chair exactly, it's an upholstered chair that glides.
Salesman: Well come over here, I think maybe we were talking about the same thing the first time :proceeds to walk us to the biggest lay-z-boy in the store.:

So needless to say, rooms-to-go was a bust.
Well, except for the fact that I will always giggle every time we pass a cracker barrel from now on...

The wonders of modern technology

Is it just me or it it absolutely freaking amazing that with a click of a button, an ultrasound technician can now turn this......



Into this?



Pipsqueak was napping I believe, which is a good thing because the rest of the time she's flipping & kicking so much that I don't think we would have ever gotten a good picture of her.
But we got a couple good ones!



You can see her little nose so clearly! If you look closely you can actually see her little fingers & thumb right there.

It's hard to believe that she is actually inside of me. Seeing her on the screen yesterday was definitely one of those "wow" moments in life. The ones that fill you with so much emotion that you are speechless. Just in awe of what you are looking at.

We're 27 weeks now, with only 13 short weeks to go!

**Just a reminder...if you didn't see the post yesterday about the Easter swap, click here! You have until March 15th to get signed up!**

Party Tonight, Sophie is invited...(& Givaway Winner !!!)

Since I couldn't enjoy my bagel for breakfast this morning....
*cough*
Thanks, KRISTIN! *cough*
I came straight here to post the winner of the Beth Moore giveaway!!!

The winner is.....
bswhit!
Congratulations!!
I started reading my copy last night, It's so good! You're going to love it!
You can e-mail me at pippy08@ymail.com, and I'll get your copy in the mail to you today!

For any of you wanting to purchase the book, let me know. I can get you a great deal on it!

Speaking of great deals....I did a little shopping yesterday.
It all started because of Twitter. I knew that thing would get me in trouble.
Anyways, I signed up to follow "Online Baby Deals" on Twitter.
If you're pregnant or already have kids, you should follow her too, because she posts some pretty awesome deals on there.
As I was browsing her "tweets" (lol I feel like such a dork saying that), I saw that she had a listing for "Sophie the Giraffe" on sale.
What is a Sophie, you ask?
Let me present Exhibit A:


In my humble opinion, she looks like a glorified dog toy, BUT apparently babies think she is the best thing EVER. I have many, many friends that all sing Sophie's praises. I'm not entirely sure why babies love her so much, but one of my mommy friends refers to Sophie as "Baby Crack" sooo.... they obviously love her.
She's made of a really soft rubber so I'm thinking that she must feel good on the gums?
Sophie usually costs like $21 dollars & that's a stinking lot for a dog...I mean baby toy.
However, she was on sale for $15 and while that still seems like a lot to me, I would rather save the money & buy her on sale than pay full price later on.
So here's to hoping that she is as awesome as they all claim.

The thing about shopping on Amazon though, is they always get me with the "Spend $5 more & qualify for Free Shipping!"
I think it's the word free. Gets me every time.
So I bought a 5 pack of onesies, cause I know I'll need tons of those.
And then I saw this.....

Yeah, I had to have it. I actually laughed out loud when I read it.

Have a great Wednesday everybody, be sure & come back tomorrow for Week One of the "So Long Insecurity" posts!

*DISCLAIMER* If you are pregnant, eating, trying to avoid thoughts of actually giving birth, or any combination of those...don't click on Kristin's name at the top of this post. I know you will anyways, cause you're curious. But don't say I didn't warn you.*

Talkative Tuesday

It's called that because I have so much to say today and it's kind of all over the place...so just bear with me.

First off, we are officially 25 weeks pregnant today (woohoo) with 105 days to go!
I feel the need to reiterate how fast this pregnancy is going, it's absolutely flying by.

I'm trying to find good ways to remind my husband of this fact, because things are going so slow with the new house/moving process.

I've been contemplating assembling the crib in the middle of the living room.
You know, in case he needs a visual aid?
Would that be too evil or just evil enough to get the point across? I'm unsure.

Along with the 25 week milestone, I broke down today and signed up for Twitter. I know I'm like the last person on the planet to have one, but I have yet to understand the appeal. I'm willing to give it a shot though, so If you want to follow me, click here!
Unfortunately, I have no idea how it works.
I managed to post a tweet? and follow 2 people. So that's something.
If you can share your twitter knowledge with me, I will be forever grateful.
Thanks.

Now for a tease...
I have something very cool in the works for you guys. I'm SO excited about it. I can't give you any more details than that at the moment, but I think you are going to love it. It's going to be a blast.

Just a reminder, the giveaway ends tonight at midnight, so if you haven't entered yet, you better get moving!

24 Weeks!

As my Dr. said yesterday "That's a milestone."
Pipsqueak now has a 50% chance of making it if she came early.
*Pip, that's not an invitation to come right now. You have to stay put for at least 10 more weeks.*

She is about a 11 inches long by now & weighs a little over a pound!
Our ticker says that we have approximately 110 days left!
I've read that she probably sleeps about 11-12 hours a day now, but I'm not sold on that. If she does, she sleeps in like 30 minute increments. Hopefully her "outside" sleeping habits will be a little better than her "inside" ones.

I painted something for her room last night. I haven't done a whole lot of painting since I've been pregnant & wasn't expecting her kicks to make it so difficult!
She has uncanny timing, it was like "Oh mom is trying to paint a straight line, hehe watch this!"


*please excuse the crappiness of the iPhone picture quality*

Anyways, I'm proud of how it turned out. I think it will match the bedding pretty well.

Thursday, February 4, 2010

23 Weeks!

My ticker over there says 117 days to go! I can't believe we are almost to double digits!
I got to go home & visit my family the first half of the week, & we went to this cute little baby clothes consignment store.
Riley has some of the cutest clothes ever. I have never had that much fun shopping in my life.

Here's the 23 week update!

* How far along?: 23 weeks & 2 days
* Total weight gain: 5 lbs
* How big is baby?: 8.5 inches & about 1.5 lbs.
* Sex: GIRL!
* Maternity clothes?: Most of my shirts are still fine, but she doesn't like the band in my maternity pants. She shows her disapproval by kicking it as hard as she can, same with seatbelts. So I've been hanging out in sweats & athletic pants whenever possible.
* Stretch marks?: None so far.
* Sleep?: HA. nuff said.
* Best moment this week? She has started doing these crazy flips at night when I'm trying to sleep, but then when my husband puts his hand on my stomach she will calm down. It's so sweet.
* Movement?: She's always moving! She makes my belly shake & jump like crazy.
* Food cravings?: Nothing really.
* Labor signs?: Nope, I've had the occasional BH but that's it.
* Belly button in or out?: Still in, but it's changing shape. It's a lot more shallow than it used to be.
* What I miss: I leaned over to tie my shoes while sitting in the car & couldn't reach. I still just barely have a belly, but my range of motion is definitely limited already.
* What I'm looking forward to: Starting on the nursery
* Words of Wisdom: Sleep when you can, you never know what the next night is going to be like.
* Milestone: Just about anybody who wants to feel or see her move has been able to. She's not shy.

The answers to your questions!


Good morning!
I hope y'all had a good weekend!
I did except for lack of sleep.
Baby Pippy has decided that night time is the best time for extreme acrobatics.
Which is fun, but it wakes me up...& keeps me that way.

Okay so, you guys had some questions, & how I have some answers! Ready?

#1 Michele from "My Italian Grandmother" said "I had no idea you could blog using a Wii! How does that work?"

A: This was actually a new discovery for me last week because I had no idea I could surf the internet on that thing. It's pretty cool! The back of the Wii has a place where you can hook up an phone line. We actually have wireless internet in our house, so I'm not sure how you hook the phone line up, but however you connect, you just go to the settings on the Wii & go to the internet setting. After you hook it up, you can now access the Wii shop channel. It's on the Wii startup menu when you first turn it on. From there, you can download the Internet Channel, it's free. Then presto! You now have a internet browser on your Wii. You can use it just like the one on your computer! Enjoy!

#2 Kelsey from "The Richey's from BG" asked "Do you ride horses? Did you ride when Mr. Pippy trained horses. Where did you live?


A: Yep! I've ridden since I was a kid. He was training cutting horses in Georgia (where I'm from), I actually took him a horse to train for me, that's how we met! We traveled all over the USA going to shows, Mr. Pippy was very good! I didn't show as much as He did, I was usually too busy helping him or our customers but I got 4th at the All American Quarter Horse Congress one year!

We stayed in Georgia for awhile before moving to western Kentucky. His family is in the car business here & his dad wanted to retire so he moved home to run the family business. Now our horses are just a hobby instead of our jobs, but we still really enjoy them!

#3 Chelsea from "Roots & Rings" wanted to know where our crib is from & some Nursery details!


A: The Crib is from JCPenney! It got here the other day, however I haven't set it up yet. I promise I will post pictures as soon as we do. I have all kinds of Nursery details for you guys, but I feel like it deserves it's own seperate post with lots of pictures. So I promise I will post that this week, maybe even tomorrow! Fair enough?

#4 Haley from "Deals, Steals & Heels" didn't really ask a question, but this is for you Haley!




It's Baby Pipsqueak's very first swimsuit!!! I fell in LOVE & had to have it. I also wanted to be the one to buy her first swimsuit. That makes it even more special to me.


Which brings us to our last question...

#5 Candace from "Mrs. Southern Belle" wanted to know our top name picks for Baby Pippy.

I love calling her Pipsqueak as her nickname, but she does in fact, have a real name that was picked out just for her.

While Mr. Pippy & I did all that traveling all over the country that I mentioned earlier, we had loads of time to talk about anything & everything. So we had already discussed what names we liked & didn't like before we even got pregnant.

We knew all along that if we were ever blessed with a little girl that we would name her...

Riley Elizabeth


: )

Happy Monday everyone!

My budget is in trouble...

But...







How adorable is this?

No I didn't buy it...but I wanted to.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

The Big Announcement

Pipsqueak wants you to know that:

A healthy, active, shy, sweet baby girl.
Did I say active?
She wouldn't be still! We had such a hard time getting all her measurements. She was head down & hiding her little face. We got a few glimpses but she would put her hand up there to hide, or scratch her face & head.
It was so incredibly awesome to see her little fingers moving & twitching.
To see her kicking & feel it at the same time was such a unreal experience.
I could have laid there all day watching her.
We are so excited!

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Halfway!?!?

Oh my goodness y'all,
I am 20 WEEKS pregnant today.
Holy Cow, that is halfway! It sooo doesn't seem like it has been that long, & with this weather, May/June seems so very far away.

Tomorrow is the big ultrasound! I am so excited to see our little baby again. The last time that we saw our baby, it looked like this:


I can't wait to see how much Pip has grown! With all the jumping & dancing that I have been feeling, I'm sure that it's quite a bit!

It's been a while since I've answered the weekly questions but in honor of week 20, here they are!

* How far along?: 20 weeks!
* Total weight gain: At my appointment in December it was 3lbs. I don't keep a scale in my house because "Scales are da debil."
* How big is baby?: Head to Rump about 6.5 inches!
* Sex: sometimes lol j/k *see weekly wisdom* We find out tomorrow!!! I hope! Pip, you're grounded for life if you don't show us the goods!
* Maternity clothes?: Yes & No, My shirts are still pretty good, but not great. I'm loving the maternity pants except for the tighter band that keeps them from falling down is right across where the baby hangs out, so it's uncomfortable sometimes.
* Stretch marks?: None yet & I have been pretty awful about not using my lotion, I better start making a better habit.
* Sleep?: not too bad, still waking up about 2 times to use the restroom.
* Best moment this week? Knowing the ultrasound is finally almost here.
* Movement?: Oh my goodness, yes. Pip wants to be the kicker for UGA, Do somersaults with the cheerleaders & swim on the synchronized swimming team.
* Food cravings?: Nah, not really. The whole pickles & ice cream thing never happened for me.
* Labor signs?: No, & they need to stay away for a long long time.
* Belly button in or out?: In
* What I miss: Honestly? Not a whole lot, yeah I'd love some Sushi but I'm really enjoying this part of being pregnant so I don't miss a whole lot.
* What I'm looking forward to: Tomorrow!
* Words of Wisdom: You're not going to "hurt" the baby during *ahem* marital relations. However, just because you know that you're not, doesn't keep you from worrying about it. all.the.time. lol
* Milestone: 20 weeks! We're halfway there!

So I don't guess I have to tell you, but check in tomorrow!!! Our appointment is at 9 cst!

Belly pic anyone?

It's my very first belly pic for the blog.
I'll apologize in advance for it being my bare belly. Unfortunately if I leave my t-shirt down you can't see the belly, thus no belly pic.
Sooo you see my predicament.

Anyways, here we are at 19 & 1/2 weeks!

(Please ignore the wall paneling, we're moving soon & I cannot even begin to till you how excited I am to be saying adios to that!)

There you have it, my little pipsqueak bump!
Don't forget to vote in the poll!

Thursday, January 7, 2010

To the right..

You will see a little poll.
A pipsqueak sized poll.
What do YOU think baby Pip is? Boy or Girl?
The poll is open till Wednesday, when I *hope* to be making the big announcement! So make sure to vote before then.

Just for fun, I answered some questions to help you make your guess, unless you just have a hunch.

If the heart rate is under 140 you'll have a boy.

This one is tough, our first u/s the heartbeat was 114 then the doppler further along said 145?

If you are carrying all your weight out front its a girl, if your weight is around your hips and bottom it's a boy.

All 3lbs? lol I'd say it's around my hips so Boy.

If your bump is low it's a boy if your bump is up higher it's a girl.

Definitely boy.

If the baby is very active it's a boy.

For sure boy. (I'm thinking future kicker for UGA)

If you're craving sweets it's a girl, if you're craving salt you're having a boy.

What about fruit? I can't really pick sweet or salty.

If a wedding ring or needle suspended over your belly moves in a strong circular motion you are having a girl. If it moves to and fro like a pendulum, you're having a boy.

Boy! The hubby even tried swinging it in a circle, & as soon as he stopped it went back to a straight line.

If daddy is gaining weight along with mommy (or more than mommy) it's a girl.

Then it's a girl! He's definitely gained more than me.

When picking up a single key, if she picks it up from the thin end, it's a girl. If she picks up the key from the base it's a boy.

It'll be a boy.

If your face is colored in acne you're having a girl. If you have clear beautiful skin you'll have a boy.

Um, It's mediocre? Not covered but not clear & beautiful.

Do you sleep on your Right or your Left side? Right you're having a girl, left you're having a boy.

Girl, I mainly sleep on my right side.

If you are puking all the time you'll have a girl.

Once again, hard to tell. Lots of nausea, very little actual puking.

If your hands are dry you'll have a boy, if they are soft you'll have a girl.

Neither? It's normal. Neither dry or super soft.

If you're drinking lots of orange juice and other citrus you're having a girl.

Boy, I could care less about OJ.

If you feel graceful during pregnancy you're having a girl, but if you feel clumsy you'll be having a boy.

I think this would have to be Boy, I've been pretty clumsy. However, I was was to start with anyways : )

If you gain weight in your face you're having a girl.

No facial weight gain, so Boy!

If you are especially moody you'll be having a girl.

Nope pretty normal, Boy.

The Mayan tale adds the mothers age at conception and the year of conception. If the result is an even number then mom is having a girl. If the result is an odd number then a boy is on the way!

The Mayans say Boy.

If you are the first born child, you will have what your mom had but starting with her second child. If you are the middle child, you will have what she had but starting with the third. If you are the last child you will have what your mother had in the exact order.

We'll have a Girl.

If you eat the ends of bread, it’s a boy. If you eat the middle of the loaf, it’s a girl.

Girl. Who eats the end of a loaf though? That's just weird.

The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived.

The Chinese say Girl.

Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, you might just be having a little boy.

I can tell no change at all, lol so...

If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having.

I have dreamed about the baby, but in the dreams, I never see the baby or what it is. So no dreams either.

When the pregnant woman is asked to show her hands, it’s a boy if she keeps her palms down and a girl if she shows her palms up.

Um, Boy? I think...

71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having.

BOY then!

When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy.


Did somebody say steak? All Boy.

Are your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you’re having a little girl.

Girl, they're the same

If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.

I've had one or two, but that's normal for me. Boy.

It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby.

We've had both names picked out since before we got pregnant, so no help there.

That brings the grand total to:

BOY: 14 GIRL: 6 Undecided: 8

So... There you have it.

Not even the ancient chinese or mayans can agree. The upside is, you have a 50% of being right.
