boy or girl

so we got to hear the heart beat its was in the 160's. i was wandering based on the heart beat could it be a boy or a girl? because ive heard that girls have faster heart beats. and everyone is thinking thats its a girl.

My Doc said maybe a girl because of the high heartbeat, but nope! he is sooo a boy.  That is an old wives tale, but baby gender predicting is so much fun and it also can be fun to see if it is true or not. have fun!

My son has a much faster HB than when I carried my daughter. It is an old wives tale that faster is girl and slower is boy.

Both of my sons had a heart rate between 155-160, so it could be either. :)
