Gender Predictions

So there are many many pregnant bloggers out there amongst me. Many, who are due within a few weeks of me too, so there have been a lot of "gender reveal" posts going on. They make me a bit jealous, I wish I could be introducing you to "Baby Boy #2 Schultz" or "Baby Girl Schultz"...but at the same time, I'm very content and happy with having our second pregnancy be a surprise too. It will even be a bigger surprise because from day 1, I literally knew Braden was a boy. I would have been shocked beyond belief if I had birthed a girl! This time? It's truly going to be a surprise. I still have the girl vibes...but not nearly as strong as the boy vibes I had with Braden.


Since I don't get to give my readers a gender reveal post...I thought I'd do a gender predictions post to see what the Chinese and the old wives tales have to say!

Chinese Prediction #1:
Chinese prediction #2:
Then there's the old wives tales... I will highlight blue or pink depending on what is truth for me.

your baby's heartbeat is higher than 140 beats per minute 
 
you're carrying all out front (for now anyway!)

• you're carrying low/high - the verdict is still out on this one...sometimes I feel higher, sometimes lower!

you suffered from morning sickness in your first trimester♠♠

you crave salty food or protein, such as cheese and meat - but I also crave sweet at times too

• your feet become cold more quickly than before you were pregnant - they're the same, always cold

your skin becomes dry - but it didn't with Braden

you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is even

your hair thinner and dull

you are more moody

you're asked to show your hands and you present them palms up
you lie on your right side when sleeping - but I always do....

• you eat a clove of garlic and the smell seeps out of your pores - uhhh....not sure on this one!

your previous child's first word was "dada" - don't they all say that first?


So I guess that's 6 for girl and 5 for boy at this time.


And some more heart beat prediction fun from my two ultrasounds:

 You can also put your vote in on the little poll I've got going on on the sidebar over there ------> And another super fun thing about not knowing the gender is that it makes baby pools SO much fun! Keep your eyes peeled, I'll post a baby pool for this one probably around 36 weeks!

  1. How fun! I'm on Team Girl, too. :) Have you tried the ring trick? My sister in law is into that and it cracks me up. She tried it on me when I was pregnant with Colin, and it predicted I was having a boy! Guess there is always a 50/50 chance, though. :)

    1. Nope haven't done the ring trick...and you're right - it's all 50/50 anyway, we hope!

  2. I think girl! While I'm happy and it's been fun to know what we're having, I still wish I could've convinced J to go for team green. I'm a little bit jealous of the big surprise you'll have when you have your little munchkin =)

  4. Hi there! I'm new around here so this is going to be a TOTAL guess....but it seems like everyone I know who's having their 2nd is having the same as their first. So if you follow that trend, it's going to be a BOY!

    I saw you're a cloth diaper user! Me too....and mildly obsessed! My son is almost 2 and we've used cloth since day 1. Love them!

    1. Thanks for reading! You know what, everyone I know lately, that's been the case too! So who knows...maybe it will be Little Brother and not Little Sister.

      Yes we just stopped using cloth as Braden is now potty trained through the day, but not at night yet. Excited to use cloth on this baby from day 1.
