We now have less than two weeks until the ultrasound in which our baby will go from being "it" to "he" or "she" (unless it has already been learning tricks from Julia and Adam's baby). :-)
Although seeing the goods is pretty much the only way to know the gender for sure, there are plenty of old wives' tales claiming to predict the gender. Here's how they've come out for us:
Ring on a String: Boy
Cravings (sweet=girl; sour/savory=boy): Boy
Acne (more=girl; same or none=boy): Girl
Dreams about Baby: Boy
Baby's Heart Rate (140+=girl; less than 140=boy): Girl
Chinese Lunar Calendar: Girl
Carrying Position (high=girl; low=boy): Boy
George and I both think the baby is a girl, but we have zero scientific basis for our guesses. My doctor suggested drinking some caffeine or eating about an hour before the ultrasound for our best chance at an active baby during the ultrasound. I really want to find out, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if we had to wait until June...or would it? So, what's your prediction for the flavor of our baby?

i think it is a BOY! but, like you and george, i have absolutely no basis for it.
I have friend that does predictions based on several things...and she said she has never been wrong....and her prediction is boy. We'll see.....
I hope it's a boy, that darling little bearded hat I am buying him will look funny on a girl.
