18 Weeks- Boy or Girl

 Baby is the size of a large tomato this week. Baby turned 18 weeks on Wednesday, November 16th.

Pumpkins in the fire place is an idea I stole from Pinterest.

I looked up some old wives' tales to see if it is a boy or girl.

1.  Heart rate- heart rate was over 140 BPM, so it's a girl.
2.  Key test- If you pick up a key at the largest part, it's a boy. Who picks up a key at the narrow part anyways? 
3. Mayan Tale- Mother's age + year of conception= 29 + 2011= 2040, even number means it's going to be a girl.
4. Acne- If you have acne during pregnancy it's a girl. Unfortunately I have acne.
5. Cravings- I want salt. Therefore I'm having a boy.
6. History of parents' kids- I'm a first born, I'll have what my mom had starting off with her second child, which is a boy. I'm having a boy.
7. Legs- I have tree trunks for legs, therefore I'm having a boy.
8. Chinese Calendar- Says its a boy
9. Dreams- Dreams show the opposite of what you are having. Therefore I'm having a boy.
10. Side you rest on- I prefer to rest on my left side, which equals a boy.
11. Hands- I show my hands with my palms up, so I'm having a girl.
12. Dad's weight gain- He hasn't gained any weight. We are having a boy.
13. Morning sickness- No morning sickness means it's a boy!
14. Breast test- Left is bigger, therefore a girl it will be.
15. Hands are dry- Mine are cracking. So it's going to be a boy.
16. Nose- My nose is staying the same, therefore I'm having a girl.
17. Baby Name- I can think of a girl name, but not a boy. So I'm going to have a girl.

It's a boy: 10
It's a girl: 7

We shall see on December 2nd! I CAN'T WAIT!
