It's time to vote!

We have about a week before we find out if Hamish is a boy or a girl. It's time for a poll! We want to know what you think. So, in case you need a little help to make your decision, here are some old wives' tales to guide you along:

It's a boy if:

• You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy. - I did this time, but just got a little queasy with Madeline. Go figure.


• Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute. - Nope. 150.


• You are carrying the extra weight out front. -  That's where the baby is. Isn't that where I should have extra weight?


• Your belly looks like a basketball. - Too soon to tell.


• You are carrying low. - I think this one's a little higher, actually.


• You are craving salty or sour foods. - YES!! I want to drink pickle juice and eat salt & vinegar chips all day. Mmmm. Tasty.


• You are craving protein -- meats and cheese. - Yuck. Still not a meat eater and I can only tolerate cheese in moderation.


• Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy.  - We live in Alabama. It's 350 degrees outside, 8 months a year. So, no.


• The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy. - Nah.


• Your hands are very dry. - Nope. Still baby soft.


• Your pillow faces north when you sleep.  - I'm supposed to take a compass to bed??


• Dad-to-be is gaining weight right along with you. - He's lost a little poundage, to be honest.


• Pregnancy has you looking better than ever. - Ugh. No.


• Your nose is spreading. - Big nose anyway.


• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves back and forth or side to side.  - Yes. But, it did that with Madeline, too.


• You are having headaches. - Some, but not as many as the first time.


• You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number. - This one is tricky because it's based on the Chinese lunar calendar and I conceived in January.

 

It's a girl if:

• You had morning sickness early in pregnancy - Yep.


• Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute. - 150.


• You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear. - If my butt gets any bigger, I can just stand by the couch and Dan can use it as an end table. Let's hope this one never happens!


• Your hair develops red highlights. - Well, since I haven't seen my natural hair color in 20 years, this one is impossible to verify.


• You are carrying high.  - See above.


• Your belly looks like a watermelon.


• You are craving sweets. - No more than usual.


• You are craving fruit. - Not really.


• You crave orange juice. - Yes, but only when I'm already thirsty.


• You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy. - I really, really don't.


• You are moodier during pregnancy. - Poor, poor Dan.


• Your face breaks out more than usual. - Like the spotted elephant from the Island of Misfit Toys.


• You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread. - Bread is bread.


• Your pillow faces south when you sleep. - Again, I don't think I own a compass.


• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles - See above.


• You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number. - See above.

All right, here we go. What's your prediction for the new kid?
