silly question :)

There is an old wives tale that says if your linea negra runs all down your belly you're having a boy. If your linea negra only begins from your belly button dowm you're having a girl.

I'm having a little boy and it seems to be true in my case. Anyone else?

I just got mine and I'm almost 30 weeks. We found out it was a boy at 16 weeks, so far it's true. It started below my belly button, but it seems to go farther up as the days pass.
