Our midwife appointment went really well, we were able to meet another one of the midwifes at the practice and I felt like I connected with her, she is closer to my age, and seemed really relaxed with us. Even though the appointment wasn't in the birth center it should be open this week and I plan on going in to take a tour as soon as I can. We were able to hear the heartbeat and that little sucker has a strong one I have heard rumors that if you are having a girl it is much quicker, these old wives tales seem pretty fun so here we go:
-How do you carry: This one is no fun because I have no idea, this is my first so maybe you can tell me.
-Heart rate: 132 first doppler and 134 second doppler, they say if its under 140 you're having a boy.
-Craving: Sweets usually mean a girl and salty/sour usually mean a boy. I am having both and they are equal, I go between salty toast/sour worms and chocolate brownies... I'm PRETTY sure we aren't having twins but man that would be fun haha
-Body clues: I have dry hands so that means boy BUT I also have new acne and that means girl.
-Chinese birth chart: it's a girl!
-Sympathy cravings: Ryan is not having these so that means we're having a boy!
-Morning sickness: Didn't have it, so that usually means a boy.
-Necklace test: If its goes in a circle [which it did] its a girl.
So there you have it haha I have no idea what we are having but it was a pretty fun little test.
You have a big group of friends and a few even came to help dad paint your nursery today, we are really happy with the color! Can't wait to get your bed all ready and start decorating and getting this nesting started. While a few friends painted I got to hang out with someone I am sure you will become tiny friends with, Eva is expecting a little boy due just over a month before you are!
Excited to meet you
