We Bunko-ed again last night. I love Bunko! I love the game, but more importantly, I love being in camaraderie and competition with such wonderful women.
Betty is one of my favorite ladies to talk with. We talk lots of baby-talk and she always has a really neat Old Wive's Tale to tell me. Last night, we discussed the first time that I felt the baby move. She said that, according to the Old Wives Tale, the baby will be born exactly five months from the date that I first felt the baby move. This would mean that we will welcome Babybird into the world on September 20th. Eight days early, which would be perfectly fine with me!
I love all the Old Wive's Tales and superstitions that I have heard so far. Some of them are totally ridiculous, but funny non-the-less. For example, if a rat runs around a pregnant woman’s feet, this will result in very bad luck. Heck yeah it will be bad luck! It means that I would have rats in my house. Another one states that I shouldn't eat strawberries or the baby will have a red mark on it's skin. My poor child is going to be totally red.
The best tales are the ones concerning the baby’s sex. Since we are finding out the sex in FOUR DAYS, I thought that it would be fun to see if you think that we are having a boy or a girl. Below are a few hints to some Old Wive's Tales that I have heard since I became pregnant:
The fetal heart rate was fast…….above 140 beats per minute.
I am carrying “high” according to my mother.
I was nauseous, but never really had morning sickness in the first trimester.
Penny’s ring test swung in a back and forth.
My birthday is in January and I will be 31 when the baby is born.
We think that conception was in January.
I crave both sweet and salty food.
I mainly crave fresh fruit.
My pillow faces south.
I still hate the heel on a loaf of bread.
The baby mainly kicks on my right side.
I refuse to do anything with Drano.
Now, do you think that we are having a “sugar and spice” baby or a “puppy dog tales” baby? I am anxious to hear what you think! What tall tales have you heard???

Boy! Boy! Mainly based on the facts:
The fetal heart rate was fast…….above 140 beats per minute.
I am carrying “high” according to my mother.
I was nauseous, but never really had morning sickness in the first trimester.
I mainly crave fresh fruit.
That's all of the things I had with Shane and Ty! Can't wait to hear what you're having!
How about a pretty pink drummer!
Can't wait to hear the news! :)
