Old Wives Tales...

I am really excited about finding out what im having in 2 wks. Being that im from the south people always make their predictions using old wives tales & swear by it. Ive decided to ignore bc I dnt want to get too excited & buy for one when Im having tge opposite. Anyone feel the same?

I craved hot and spicy with my daughter. They are funny! I was a massage therapist at the time and had numerous energy workers all say a boy. One friend of mine did this weird test which said boy. All the signs were boy, but the ultrasound! Oh and the best one! A friend said if your face doesn't change shapes and stays thin it's a boy. When your face looks full, and she said it gets ugly that's it a girl. Because girls rob us from some of our beauty. So when she told me she predicted a girl, all I could think about is how fat and ugly I am right now.

old wives tales are funny, but I don't rely on them.
my Chinese gender chart said girl, the baking soda test said boy. already one of them is wrong!

I also heard that if u crave for sweet snacks its a girl and if u prefer salty food its a boy.
also heard that if u feel and act extra girly then its a girl, but if you're more tom-boy and rough its a boy.

ha ha ha @ at these tales.

I never listened to any wives tales. What's the point....It's a 50 / 50 shot at it being "right". It's equivalent to asking random strangers on the street to tell you  what the gender of your baby is. The wait s u c k s but it's definitely worth it once you know!
