- Chinese Gender Chart - said to be over 90% accurate: boy
- Where are you carrying extra weight - in front like a basketball (boy) or all around like a watermelon (girl)? girl
- Are you carrying the baby high (girl) or low (boy)? neither - I seem to be in the middle
- Do you refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread (girl), or prefer the heel (boy)? girl
- Morning Sickness early in pregnancy - yes (girl) or no (boy)? girl
- Mayan Legend: Age at conception plus the number of the month of conception - odd (girl) or even (boy)? 26+7=33 is odd which equals girl
- Have you been craving sweets (girl) or salty or sour food (boy)? girl (don't ask Tom about the 4 lb bag of skittles...)
- Have you been craving meats and cheese (boy) or fruit (girl)? girl (to be fair, I've had a lot of cheese too...)
- If someone asks you to show them your hands, you show them palm up (girl) or palm down (boy)? girl
- How do you pick up a mug - handle (boy) or body of the mug (girl)? boy
- Tie your wedding ring to a string. Hang it over your belly and see if it swings in a circle (boy) or if it goes back and forth (girl). both (it went back and forth first and then started going in a circle...)
- The husband's family history - in each of the last few generations, only one girl has been born. As of right now, there are no girls in his family in our generation. So I am calling this wives tale a girl (but Tom thinks this one should be marked boy since more boys are born.)
And the verdict is...based on the wives tales...girl
But we have to wait for Thursday to find out for sure! Feel free to add any more wives tales to the comments section - I know there are lots more out there that I didn't weigh in on above.

Well, this one is a bit personal, and it didn't work for us. "Boys swim faster, girls live longer (sperm wise, that is)." So if you "did it" the day you ovulated or after and got pregnant it's a boy. If you "did it" before ovulation, girl. If you "did it" a lot, well, who knows and I don't want to know either :) :)
Wow, what fun! It will be interesting to see if Thursday's picture will be conclusive and if the old wive's tales are accurate.
