Boy Oh Boy? An Unscientific Study



Our couple friends who are pregnant (due in November) just discovered the sex of their child - it's going to be a boy. Congrats!

In a few weeks Helen and I will be finding out if Norbit is male or female. As mentioned in a previous post, Helen is hoping for a girl. But recently she's been thinking that our little dude will be just that - a dude. There are a few reasons why she believes this. First, she consulted some website that breaks down certain criteria and predicts the sex of the baby. Then, she spoke to a friend who had a boy, they compared their dietary habits while pregnant, and found that both craved fruits and vegetables. This mom also said when she was pregnant a girl, she wanted burgers, which Helen has been avoiding. Finally, another friend who originally said she thought Helen was having a girl, recently changed her mind and said she now now thinks Helen is having a boy. Hardly scientific evidence, but I think these three things, all happening in a short amount of time, have gotten Helen at least prepared for the possibility Norbit will be a 'he.'

What are some of the funny ways you've heard of people predicting a baby's gender?
