Gender bender part 2- June 1, 2010

Please read Gender bender part 1 before continuing. I have clarified a point or two. It’s just below this. I’ll wait.

Caught up? Okay good.

So everyone seems to have their hunches as to whether it’s a boy or a girl. I just hope it’s not an actual mango. (That joke was from part 1. If you didn’t get it than I know you’re not really caught up.) I’ve loved hearing everyone’s guesses in recent days.

But, the thing that has totally floored me is the old wives tales. I mean, I have been hearing stuff from friends and coworkers that Anne Boleyn must have heard! Seriously! “If you carry it high it’s a boy.” “If you have heartburn it’s a girl.”

I asked the OB/GYN. Those things are all fake. If it has a penis, it’s a boy. That’s the only way you can tell.

I’m just thankful my neck doesn’t depend on if it’s a boy. Tough break Anne. Thank God I’ll get to celebrate regardless of what it is tomorrow.
