I think it's a boy.

I have had lots of comments that we are having a boy, but when you look at the cold hard facts it is hard to argue that it is a girl.

1. Morning sickness is generally worse if you are having a girl. Since you also typically seem to have a pregnancy similar to that which your mother had, and because she had all girls and bad morning sickness it leads me to deduce that I am having what she didn't have, and thus did not experience- symptoms of a woman growing an Adam, not an Eve. Now don't get me wrong, I am still sick and hate the idea of food in general, but I have heard horror stories about morning sickness, and I won't even begin to pretend that my sickness even holds a match to those tales.

2. Hello Carnivore- I am not a big meat eater, typically, but lately meat seems to be one of the best things to eat, since it is one of the few things that sounds good, on the rare occasion that food sounds good at all. I know that this is not a cold hard scientific fact, but it just made sense. Boys=Meat.

3. Dry Skin- my mother got acne when she was pregnant, but I have been experiencing very dry skin. I went and purchased a very nice Olay moisturizer and have been applying it regularly and my skin is doing much better. I am just applying the opposites rule here.

Basically we won't really know til around Thanksgiving, or a few weeks after, whether we are having a boy or girl, but right now I am placing my bet on boy.

I love old wives tales :) course I was super weird and opposite. like I actually had to go vegetarian while pregnant with porter because it was just disgusting to me. I'm so excited for you! seriously I've seen you with a baby you're awesome! (and I'll help you paint if you need it)
