chart<\/a> uses the mother\u2019s age at conception and the month when the baby was conceived to predict the sex.<\/p>\n*Have the mom pee in a cup. Mix a tablespoon of Drano in. If it\u2019s green it\u2019s a girl. If it\u2019s blue it\u2019s a boy.<\/p>\n
*Place a key on the ground in front of the mom-to-be and ask her to pick it up. If she grabs it by the narrow part it\u2019s a girl. If she grabs it by the round part it\u2019s a boy.<\/p>\n
*If the mother-to-be is breaking out really bad during the pregnancy it is believed to be a girl.<\/p>\n
*Take off the mom-to-be\u2019s wedding ring and tie it to a string. Have her hold it hanging in front of her belly. If it swings in a circle it\u2019s a boy. If it goes back and forth it\u2019s a girl.<\/p>\n
So the real question is – do these ways of predicting the baby\u2019s sex work? Unfortunately the experts say no \u2013 they say these are all old wives tales\u2026the stuff of myths and legends\u2026but hey, the good news is that even if these ways of predicting the sex of a baby are inaccurate, they still have a 50% chance of actually being right! So what the heck\u2026you may as well try \u2018em just for the fun of it!<\/p>\n
Well tonight my waiting is over because I am happy to say that they went for the ultrasound today and we found out \u2013 IT\u2019S A BOY!!! YEE HAW!\u00a0 I\u2019m going SHOPPING!!!!<\/p>\n
There is something to be said for enjoying the myths, the legends, and even the old wives tales…have fun with them!<\/p>\n
Have a great day everyone! \u00a0(and thanks for letting me share my fun news!)<\/p>\n
