So anyone whose talked to me about gender prediction methods knows I think they're all bullshit. All of the charts, old wives tales, and other such nonsense methods are typically only correct 50% of the time.
The Chinese Conception chart said Penelope was going to be a boy. Wrong! It was the only one I did for her since we found out her sex at 17 weeks.
This time we're holding out until the end, so I though it would be fun to do a couple of the gender prediction methods and come back after the baby is born to see how many guessed wrong.
Chinese Conception chart: Boy
Ring test: Boy
Heart rate: Girl (FYI, for this over 140 = girl, under 140 = boy)
Old Wives tales (it was a quiz): 67% chance of a girl, 33% chance of a boy
So 50/50 according to the unscientific gender prediction methods. Which is what I figured it would be.

Jessica - I actually had myself convinced that Shane was a girl based on his HB rate ... and even when they were doing the sonogram and his HB was 160 I was like "shit, it's a girl isn't it!" Thankfully he had a stem!
