We are having a baby girl!

"Do you know if you are having a boy or girl?" - this is probably the single most asked question we get as friends and family find out that we are pregnant. When we said not yet, it was often quickly followed by what they think I am having. It's amazing how many theories are out there.

- "You are having a boy if you conceived early in the ovulation period"
- "Sperms with boy chromosomes are faster and stronger but dies faster vs. ones with girl chromosomes are survivors and therefore there are more girl babies than boy babies"
- "Girl babies have less birth defects"
- "I just know you are having a boy"
- "you are carrying in front, which means it's a boy. Girls makes your stomach round all around"
- "you had bad morning sickness - you are definitely having a girl. I have three girls"
- "depends on what you are carving. If you are craving xx, you are having a boy; if you are craving yy, you are having a girl" - i forgot exactly what was said (one is spicy and one is sweet or was it sour)
- "I just have a feeling it's a girl"
- "It's a girl because the heart rate is so fast at 153/min. Boys have slower heart rates"

Well, with all the theories, we had no idea who to listen to, so we waited for modern technology - my detailed ultrasound on Dec 17th and found out that 99% sure we are having a baby girl. :-)



Jaime and I are ecstatic, as are all the family and friends who guessed it's a girl. Of course, the others are happy for us as well. :-) We are now thinking of baby names - stay tuned.
