Girl or boy? Boy or girl?


So in preparation for tomorrow's appointment I have some fun myths and folklore for distinguishing the sex of the baby for you.

If your fingernails are growing stronger and faster during the pregnancy it indicates boy. So, 1 for boy. Nice healthy nails here!
If my mothers hair is gray, it means boy. If it is a color (even if dyed) it if a girl. Mom has brown hair, 1 for girl.
If your bottom is gaining weight, girl. If it is maintaining its pre-pregnancy shape, boy. According to John, score 2 for boy.
If your hands stay nice and smooth, girl. If they get rough and callused, boy. My hands are still nice and smooth, so 2 for girl.
If your leg hair growth is heavier than before, boy. If it is growing at the same rate, girl. Well, I still shave the same rate here, so girl again.
If you have shortness of breath and find it harder to breath since becoming pregnant, this indicates you are carrying a boy. And I thought it was because I was more out of shape than I thought! Boy here.
It is a tie!

So, what does all this show us? I took away that you can find enough myths and folklore to indicate either and we shall just have to wait until tomorrow!
