Everyone keeps asking me how I am holding up in all this heat. I have to say I don't think I am any hotter than anyone else. (Ask me again in Aug and the answer could change) It is hot and yucky out there but that is summer. My bigger complaints are the back problems and the massive mood swings. I am ready for Sept to get here just so that I am not so moody. And the pregnancy brain drain is getting out of hand this time. The other day I got out my toothpaste and grabbed my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. I thought, man this feels weird, why is my toothbrush so tiny today? Oh, because I was using Samantha's princess toothbrush. How did I make that mistake? Eww!
Boy or girl, cont...
I forgot to mention the most important one. The girls are sure that baby Trey is a boy. Emma was positive that Sammi was a girl even though I thought we were having a boy. She told me the entire time that I was wrong and her child's intuition was correct. This time both of them say boy so...

Are we having a boy or a girl?
I looked up some of the wives tales that "tell" you if you are having a boy or a girl. Am I carrying high or low? I am not sure, I guess low. The website I was on says that means boy but I have heard that one both ways, so... By the Chinese gender prediction chart I am having a boy and it was correct on the girls. The chart I used is here www.parenting.com/chinese-gender-pedictor/start
OK, they say if baby's heart rate is above 140 it is a girl and if it is slower than 140 it is a boy. Well we are on the border on this one. It has been slower but last time it was in the 140's so I guess it could go either way! Apparently the Mayans had an even odd test. If conception and mom's age are both in an even or odd year then it is a girl, if one is even and the other odd then it is a boy. Well I was 32 and it was 2010 so that means girl. Another one said if I was sick it was a girl and if not then boy. I was sicker this time, although still not as sick as a lot of people get. So that would mean girl, but that would also mean Sam and Em should have been boys. There is also one that calls for draino but I am not running out to buy draino for a gender test so we will skip that one. I guess you pee in a cup and add some draino to it and see what color it turns. I think it said green was girl and blue was boy. Then there is the wedding ring test where you tie it to a string and swing it over you belly. If it swings in circles it is a boy and if it swings back and forth it is a girl. I can't do that one either because my wedding ring is at the jewelry store being repaired. I took an online test here http://pregnancy.about.com/od/boyorgirl/a/quiz/boygirl.htm
I scored a 50% which they said means boy. There is also one about what foods you are craving, sweet or salty. What if you crave them all? So everyone keeps asking my if I have a feeling about it one way or the other. I do but I have terrible intuition. I was positive Samantha was a boy. She is definitely not! I have been a lot more uncomfortable this time in a lot of ways. My hips spread very early on, I was sicker and I have had a lot of headaches. So the pregnancy has been a lot different from both girls. But, I am also in my 30's this time and it is my 3rd go round with this whole pregnancy thing. It could just be that. My boobs got a lot bigger this time, which didn't happen with the girls and my back didn't start hurting until later in the pregnancy. I guess what I am trying to say is I have no idea and we will have to wait and see who arrives in September.
