Hairy belly while pregnant - what are you having?

I've noticed that within the last few weeks my stomach has gotten a lot more hair on it....  Well perhaps it's just changing color... but either way I was just wondering if others have noticed this (and/or the linea negra)...  I know there are plenty of old wives tales out there, but apparently a hairy stomach is a sign for a boy....

Did/do you have the hairy stomach or linea negra and what did/are you having?

I have funny heritage. I'm irish and mexican so I have the white skin of my irish dad and the dark hair all over my body from my mexican mother. It's awesome! So I bleach the hair on my belly, but didn't want to use it while pregnant. Plus I SWEAR I have more hair all over my body since getting pregnant.  I didn't get this with my son, but this one is a girl.

I also have more "peach fuzz" on my belly and the linea negra and i am having a girl so i don't think i am much help.  I was also told that while you are pregnant that your body doesn't shed hair normally like it does when you aren't pregnant, so i guess that would be a good reason we are feeling extra fuzzy :)

I have what looks like peach fuzz all over my belly, I do not have the linea negra, nor did my belly button pop out (I'll be 35 weeks Saturday) and I'm having a boy!
