Maybe this will help the Baby Baca Poll :)

Here are some of the crazy old wives tales when it comes to predicting gender.

Heart Rate: If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy.

  • At our last appointment, the heart rate was 159, this time it was 151 so.. girl

Shape of Belly: If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.

  • I am gigantic all around so girl

Shape of Mom’s Face: When your face gets fuller and rounder when pregnant, it means you’re going to have a girl. If your face is long and narrow, it’s a boy.

  • My face has gotten rounder, so girl

Mayan Tale: 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!

  • According to this, we are having a girl.

Acne: If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.

  • No increase in acne…boy

Cravings: People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.

  • I eat anything and everything but maybe salty stuff more…so boy

Legs: If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl.

  • My legs resemble tree trunks right now so boy

Chinese Gender Chart: 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.

  • This tells me that I’ve having a girl.

Clumsy vs. Graceful: If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy.

  • I don’t think I am more clumsy than normal…girl

Side You Most Rest On: If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.

  • I have been sleeping on my left side…boy

Dad’s Weight Gain: If the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it’s a girl. If he doesn’t gain weight, you’re having a boy

  • Brandon says this is the biggest he has ever been…ME TOO…so girl

Morning Sickness: If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.

  • Haven’t been sick at all…boy

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

  • This isn’t fair for me because I want steak everyday all day before pregnant and now…so boy

Feet: 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.

  • I wear socks more I guess but it is fall in Colorado Jboy

Hair on Legs: If the hair on your legs has been growing at record speeds, you might be having a boy.

  • True that…boy

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

  • I had 3 really bad headaches at the beginning so… boy

I voted girl, but Beck really had morning sickness with Luke so throws that one out. Girl or Boy baby B will be the best :)

The heart rate for Kaitlin was for a boy...that one isn't true! I was so sick with Kristin and Kaitlin I had to be put on medication...so if Kristin is supposed to take after me,luckily she's not,I think it's a boy. I honestly don't care either way, I just can't wait to meet Baby Baca! I do hope her labor is as quick as mine!

I still think boy and if you count up your old wives tales boy out numbers girl. And Beckie is the only person I have ever guessed wrong on, I usually guess based on how sick you are :)
