Cravings, Drano, and the Mayan Calendar

Old Wives Tale 3: If you are craving sweets, it's a girl.  If you are craving salty or sour, then it's a boy.


Gender: I have been craving both.  Sometimes at the same time (can you say fries dipped in a chocolate shake?)  So I pray that I am not having a hermaphrodite. 


Old Wives Tale 4: (this one's kind of gross, but I warned you) These instructions are from Parenting.com: Pee in a cup, mix a tablespoon of Drano in, and watch to see if it changes color. Green = girl, and blue = boy.


Gender: I have a very strong aversion to bodily fluids, but for the sake of superstition, I did this one anyway.  But instead of changing color, it turned to foam.  And then stayed yellow.  I might be worried about this, except for the fact that I went to the doctor today and he found a nice strong heartbeat.  And the fact that it's drano.  And pee.  


Since these tests have revealed nothing, we'll try one more:


Old Wives Tale 5: Taken from Parenting.com "Legend has it that the Mayans determined a baby's sex by looking at the mother's age at conception and the year of conception. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one's even and one's odd, it's a boy."


Gender: I was 25 in 2012, so that gives us a boy!


Old Wives Score: 3 for Boy - 2 for Girl
