Boy or Girl?
Published May 18th, 2007 in Me.I have my 16 week checkup tomorrow and we’re hoping that this baby cooperates just like L.A. Toddler did - giving us a nice spread-eagle shot on the ultrasound so we can easily determine the sex.
This afternoon I had my Korean and Mexican co-workers proclaiming - IT’S A BOY! They did the” ring on a string over your open right hand” trick and the longer they held it the stronger it swung back and forth. (A circular pattern would have indicated a girl.)
I also did a kinesiology test with my thumb and two first fingers on my right hand inside a circle formed by my left thumb and pointer finger. You ask your body if you’re having a boy and then try to open the left handed circle, then you do the same only asking if you’re having a girl. The one that doesn’t open or holds against the pressure the most is the sex of your baby. This test said… IT’S A GIRL!
Oh God, what if it’s twins?!
Girl. And I’m rarely wrong about these things . . .
I’m hoping for triplets.
I like a bit of drama in my blogs.
When my wife was pregnant with our first child, we had an ultrasound at 3 months by a family friend. She told us we were having a boy. I spent the next 3 months talking to ‘Zachary’ in her belly.
My wife got the chicken pox at 5 months and that lead to a recommendation of an in-depth ultrasound at 6 months. The doctor told us that the baby had no problems from the chicken pox, but that he was actually a she.
I struggled for two days with the concept of losing ‘Zachary’ but then got comfortable with talking to ‘Zoe’. Zoe is now 11.
The story is don’t believe the first ultrasound…
