Heart rate?

My friend is due on May 9. She is having a u/s tmrw in hopes to see what the gender is. We know that it probably  doesn't really matter, but the baby's heart rate has been in the 160's each time. For those of you that know the gender, what was your baby's heart rate and is it a boy or girl?

My 8 week was 175. My 12 week was 165-170. I went to First Impressions at 14 weeks and the heart beat was 154. By 6 weeks of being pregnant, my gut told me girl and it never changed and yes I am having a baby girl (: The oldwives tales have been very true in my family. 150+ a girl. 140- a boy.
