We find out the sex of Cletus the Fetus next Thursday...assuming said child decides to behave appropriately during the ultrasound. But since this IS my child, it's unlikely that he/she will cooporate and will never actually get to find the answer we are looking for.
Alas, let's make some preliminary guesses using folklore, old wives tales and Chinese theories to predict the gender of Cletus the Fetus. I popped a bit of belly overnight (although, it could just be constipation...), so here is an 18 week picture to help us in our search.
How you are carrying:
Carrying low = Boy
Carrying high = girl

Baby's heart rate is over 140 BPM = Girl

Chinese Gender Chart:
Chinese age = 29
Conception Month = July

Random People's Opinions:

Prefer to sleep on your left side = Boy
ANSWER = GIRL
Drano Test:
This "test" is performed by mixing Drano and mother's urine. Depending on the color, you'll find out if it's a boy or girl.
I did not do this test because it involved buying junk. And I am just that lazy.
The results are mixed and, as expected, it's about half and half.
I have no idea and regardless, the kids room will still be blue and green and it WILL come home from the hospital in a tutu. At least Tommy and I agree that all children should be dressed in costumes at all times. Forget onesies. My kid is going as Baby Gaga until it's old enough to fight me.

go by the chineese calendar - it was right with everyone of my nieces and nephews...
also - cleared up the confusion in my post today - after re-reading it; it was a tad confusion.
Can I also tell you that I find it hysterical still thatyou call your unborn child Cletus the Fetus...and I told a lady at work who's pregnant that you call your baby that - we laughed for probably 30 minutes....
exciting week ahead!
cute belly pic!! :)
Belly pic = beer gut. Oh well!! That's what I've got!
They say the Chinese calendar is 90% accurate! Hahaha. We will see! The good news is that half of the old wives tales will be right!
