Gender Predictions!!!!

So I thought I would do the gender prediction tests before we find out what the sex of our baby is in May.

These are all old wives tales and just for a bit of fun but it will be interesting to see what they say.

Here it goes....

Sickness If you had morning sickness then its a girl if not a boy           Girl

Cravings Sweet its a girl, Sour its a boy                                                 Girl

Spots If you appear to be having more of a breakout its a girl               Boy

Citrus Fruits Yes for a girl, no for a boy                                                Girl

Ring Test Use your ring on a piece of string and balance it over           Girl
                  your stomach. If it swings backwards and forwards its
                 a girl, if it goes in a circle its a boy

Chinese Test                                                                                            Girl

From these little tests it looks like were having a little girl. Were literally taking this as fun and will let you all know as soon as we have been for our scan.

Hope you enjoyed this.

Introduction

 

 

So this is a bit of a late start but thought its better late than never! Since finding out that I am pregnant I am constantly scouring the internet and YouTube for pregnancy blogs because I find them so interesting and it’s also good to see how people the same stage as you are getting on.

 

I am now 17 weeks plus 5 days so I am used to this by now.

 

When I found out I was pregnant I was a bit shocked as I didn’t think it would happen as quick as it did but so happy because I have always wanted to be a mum in my 20’s – So I just about made it!

 

We don't know whether our baby will be pink or blue yet of course, but we will be finding out for sure in the next couple of weeks! I hope you enjoy following our progress and I would love to follow yours too if you are also expecting!!

What did you feel like when you found out you were pregnant?

 

Here is the 12 week scan of our little bundle of joy x
