Out of five girls and five boys (done fainting yet?), all the boys had heart rates in the lower half, but they were above 140. So being at or around 150 is no guarantee of a girl. Also, I was told by one midwife that it matters more what the heart rate is closer to <i>birth</i>. I didn't get terribly sick with any of them, (it was more a feeling of not being hungry) but what little illness I did experience usually came with the boys. MOST first-time mothers carry high. Nothin's been stretched out, fer cryin' out loud! If you find your skin breaking out in weird skin tags, it's a boy. (personally, I think it relates to hormones) If you.....how shall I say this.....feel like chasing the husband around the bedroom in the last half of pregnancy, it might be a boy. (again, <i>hormones</i>) If you're on your tenth kid and numbers 8 and 9 were boys, you can pretty much figure the last will be a boy, also. God has a sense of humor and yes, He's probably "out to get you." I didn't become really great at predicting until towards the end. And I don't think accuracy in that area a compelling enough reason for having a humongous family. But whether many or one, you can't help but adore them :-) Of course, everyone’s a little different, but here is my take on it….

There was some definite circling going on. I did a casual poll of a few of my friends several weeks ago, and all but one of them said we'd be having a girl first.

The only one of my babies it didn't work on was YOUR HUSBAND. Said he was a girl, which he most certainly was not! IS not :) My mother is also always, right. Except in the case of your husband again. So you could ask her what she thinks! Whatever the sex, baby will be well loved and that matters most :) Well, you did the string (and ring, I assume) test, and that was always my old standby.
