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
