toilet paper has become a hot product in my house. i use WAY too much of it in one day.
after browsing the baby boards today, i came across "toilet paper tuesday". basically, every tuesday during pregnancy, you wrap toilet paper around your belly (below your belly button) and log how many squares it takes to go all the way around.
at 4 weeks & 5 days it took 8.5 squares. hopefully the number doesn't increase for a month or so!
now for gender prediction myths. i know, it's lame and cheesy. but my husband is out of town and i am bored.
1. baking soda test- i think you're supposed to use a paper cup but all i have is a plastic one. put a tsp of baking soda. then a tsp of pee. yeah its gross but after you pee on so many sticks the nastiness kinda goes away. if it fizzes its a boy, if it doesn't do anything....girl.
2. chinese gender chart- you enter your month of conception and age you will be when the baby is born. and bam. it's supposed to be like 90% accurate. we shall see. don't fail me china!
3. gut feeling- mother's intuition. simple enough.
4. ring test- apparently you're supposed to take your wedding ring and put it on a necklace chain. lay on your back and hold the necklace above your belly. if it swings back and forth its a boy, if it goes in circles its a girl.
and the results are:
1. girl
2. girl
3. girl
4. inconclusive. first went back and forth, then in circles. twins?
wow. ummmm. wonder what jon's gonna say. his "gut" says boy but what that really means is....he wants a boy. this is SO cliche but i truly honestly just want a healthy baby. if i got to pick i'd go with a boy. but on the other hand, we could have the first girl in the family!
it's gonna be a while until we get to prove (or disprove) these theories (@19-20 weeks). all i know is that whether its ELIAS GIDEON SMITH or MAKENA RYLIE SMITH, that kid is gonna be so stinking loved and anticipated!!
*with our first, all the charts said boy. can't wait to meet my baby someday to find out if it was true.
