18 Weeks...BOY or GIRL?!

Let me just preface this picture by saying that I know my roots are AWFUL!  I have a hair appointment scheduled for May 19th (finally)...And yes--my doctor said it is completely safe for the baby to have highlights.  Phew!

Now that you've seen the belly pictures, leave a comment below to cast your vote.  Who will HE or SHE be??  We have our Anatomy Scan this Thursday.  However, we're having the ultrasound technician seal the secret news in an envelope Then, we're delivering the envelope to a local bakery where the baker will bake a cake with either PINK or BLUE icing on the inside.  We're having a small Gender Reveal party with nearby family and friends so that we can all find out together--so exciting!  Now, if we can just not peek for a week and a half.  Maybe we should just leave the envelope with the baker so we're not tempted!  

OK--So, there are lots of wive's tales about how to tell whether you're having a boy or a girl.  Here are my answers to these. 

The Chinese Gender Calendar uses dates of conception and age:  says GIRL

Carrying Low:  says BOY

Heartbeat higher than 140:  says GIRL (It has been 160+ every time)

Craving Sweets:  says GIRL (I may be eating more ice cream and fruit than ever before.)

Craving pickles:  says BOY (I may have freaked out a little when JB finished off the jar of pickles!)

LOTS of sickness during first trimester:  says GIRL

I honestly have NO idea...and really no preference!  We're just praying for a healthy baby and looking forward to finding out the exciting news.  Now...let's just hope that Baby Dustin cooperates!
