Seriously – I’d love to hear any guesses you might have. In case you need some help, we’ve consulted the popular wisdom of the old wives and a few new wives as well.
1) Chinese Lunar Calendar: girl
2) Carrying low (I think – it’s hard to tell since I’m so tall): most say that means a boy; some say that means a girl
3) Level of morning sickness: low – boy
4) Baby’s heart rate: 150-160 – girl
5) Carrying mostly in the front: boy
6) Whether my pastor’s daughter comes readily to me (according to his wife): girl
7) Hair on legs growing slower (or maybe I just don’t shave much?): girl
8) Craving sweet or salty foods: I haven’t really “craved” anything, but I more often think something salty sounds good than something sweet - boy
9) Hanging a ring over your belly: twice it went back and forth (boy) and once it went around in a circle (girl). Gender identity disorder – oh no!
10) Color of urine: light (um, I drink a lot of water – of course it’s light) - girl
11) Whether your husband wears boxers or briefs (a friend’s theory): girl
12) Mom’s face round and full during pregnancy: I think so, but some people don’t see it – girl
13) Acne during pregnancy: not so much – boy
14) Basketball or watermelon shaped belly: basketball – boy
Drum roll please for the grand tally…..
Seven of the old wives tales say girl and seven say boy. Hmmm. Just as I suspected since I don’t think any of them have any basis in reality.
From what I’ve read, the only thing that is statistically significant is the mother having a strong feeling one way or the other – that’s reported to be about 70% accurate.
What’s that? You want to know what I suspect?
I have no strong feeling one way or the other. In fact, when I had a dream about it, it was totally inconclusive.
So I guess we’ll have to do this the old fashioned way and wait and see. ☺
But I’d still love to hear what you think.

I don't have a guess, but the people that have shared with me what they think I'm having now is a boy - they just "know". lol Don't you just love old wives' tales (and people's opinions)? :) So excited for you!
Old wives tales CRACK me up. I took one "quiz" online that came back 50/50... how very wise.
I'm inclined to guess boy for you - but I don't have a strong feeling. Sometimes I do (and I'm usually right) - but it's never for a "reason."
Can't wait for updates!!
Well, I think it is a girl, and since I am wrong 80% of the time, it must be a boy! Love you, Marti
I'll only guess if there's a prize involved! hehehehe
I can picture you guys with a boy or a girl. You both were amazing with Michael so I can see you with boys pretty easily. But, you both have such a sweet and gentle side that I can see a little girl fitting in perfectly as well.
My final guess... a boy.
I'll expect my prize to arrive promptly after the birth :)
I'm a little partial to a girl because I love watching daddies melt at the sight of a wee little lady. That being said, I know that whoever God brings in to your family is a very lucky wee one. She or he has two Godly, beautiful, loving and genuinely kind parents. I am so excited to find out, as I'm sure you are too. I can hardly believe you're quickly approaching Wee Little Halter's arrival.
Much love to you!
I'm leaning towards a girl! Can't wait to find out for real!!
Grammy in waiting!
I am guessing girl. Praying for you!
Leaning towards girl, too...but I think there's a chance she might already be here! I'm hoping!!
