1. how you carry: they say if you carry in the front, its a boy. if you expand horizontally, its a girl.

2. heart rate: they say if its typically under 150/140, its a boy. if its over, its a girl.

3. cravings: if youre typically craving sweets, its a girl. salty & sour foods, its a boy.

7. dads weight gain: if dad gains sympathy weight, baby is a boy. if not, baby is a girl.

a. My skin is notoriously dry as it is, but since I've been pregnant my lips and nose have both cracked and I have started to get bloody noses a lot. boy.
BOY = 6 GIRL = 3
This honestly doesn't surprise me at all. I have been thoroughly convinced since I was about 11 weeks pregnant that we are having a boy. Before that I had no feelings either way. Obviously, none of this is proven true, but it's so fun to do anyways! I'm going to feel terrible if Baby Harnois ends up being a little lady because I call the baby a he all the time.
I stole this little wives tale thing from Sarah at Midwest Pillowtalk, another mommy expecting in July! Check out her blog, it's super adorable!

I'll have to see when I get a little farther along. Just for fun, we aren't finding out until it's born. I did read that many people get acne in the first trimester because of hormone changes, regardless of gender. We'll see! :) My husband hasn't gained any weight yet, but then neither have I.
