It's a Boy!
Contrary to my wishes of not finding out, we now know that we are having a boy.
We went to our favorite Chinese restaurant with some family the other day for dinner. You know, the place we eat at so often that the owners gave me a baby gift the last time I gave birth? And they hold our baby for us while we eat? Ya, that place. Anyway, Mau, or however you would spell it, came out of the kitchen to have a look at me and tell me what kind of baby we would be having. She took my face in her hands and examined it closely and announced that it would be a boy.
Then she spoke some Chinese to one of the other ladies there and they both nodded their heads in agreement. It would definitely be a boy. Because apparently boys are hard on their mothers and make them ugly. She pointed to Victor to see if it was true with him and I agreed that yes, I was ugly when I was pregnant with him too.
In fact the whole table agreed that I was very, very ugly.
Yep, we must be having a boy.

Hilarious, thanks. There's a syndicated radio show called "Rick and Bubba", and if you call them after your sixth month, they can predict the sex of your baby, too...but they do it through asking questions such as "does your husband wear boxers, briefs, or boxer briefs" and "Would you say the hair growing on your body is more, less, or about the same as always?" They have about a 90% success rate - if you want to try it, their number is 866-We Be Big - *no, I'm not making that up - and they're on the air from 6 to 10 central time...I'd love to hear what they have to say.
Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. I'm new to your blog, but it's a can't-miss.
Interesting. I remember looking at some sort of Chinese number chart online when I was pregnant both times and it was right for each of them. It's a chart of the mother's age and the month of conception. Find the right place in the chart and it shows what your having. Heck, there's always a 50/50 chance of being right...right?
That is funny. For me, I always know depending on what I crave. If it is grilled cheese, I have a girl. If it is egg, salsa, and bagel sandwiches, it's a boy all the way. I've been right 6 times. I am currently pregnant, and when they heard the news, all the girls said, "And she's been eating grilled cheese! That means it's a girl!" We'll know soon, hopefully.
I definately like that way better than deciding if I am ugly or not. For then I should certainly be having a boy. There is no glow around here.
I don't know if I should laugh at the fact someone called you ugly... did you go preggo-crazy and whoop their behinds? ;)
What's their prediction rate? My grandpa can always tell what someone is having. I don't think he has ever been wrong.
hilarious. I too must be having a boy. According to the Chinese lunar calendar it's a boy. According to my girls, it's a girl. so funny all the little ways people can tell what it is.
This made me laugh right out loud. I think every other culture in the world besides the US has much lower standards when it comes to insulting poeple. Or maybe we are just too sensitive. Either way, at least you will only be ugly for a little while and then the little guy will make and appearance and your beauty will return!
so it was one of those moments when someone says "you must be tired because you look terrible" when in reality you had slept rather well the night before and thought that you were having a good hair day! Gotta love those moments! I am sure that you are beautiful because all pregnant women have a "glow" or we would never do it again!
I had people tell me I was having a boy just from looking at me too. They said something like.... "boys are always carried all in the front". They were right. I was carrying boys so maybe there is something.
I guess if you are taking a stab at it "boy" is a safer choice given the 51/49 boy/girl ratio.
However, I did hear that ugliness is actually a sign of "girl" since they steal your beauty. So maybe those guys were wrong.
(Not that you could ever be ugly, of course!)
That makes you feel good! That's too funny.
Oh my gosh! That is so awful but so hilarious! I can't believe this was the dinner conversation! Haha. Hope you took it tounge and cheek!
Wow! I'm glad you're able to laugh at it! That is pretty hilarious! Congrats! ;)
Very funny.
With my first, lots of people accused me of carrying twins. Not that carrying twins would have been a bad thing, but no, there was only one baby in there...thanks for the support though.
okay..so funny. I love how people are so sure of what you are having. I am ready to pop with my 3rd, and much to my husbands dismay...we didn't find out what we are having. I am so excited to see this new baby, and see if those 'experts' were right as to the sex of this child.
And no...you aren't ugly at all!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OH MY! We have one of those Chinese restaurants as well. They did the same thing when we had our last one! I swear DH takes the kids there at LEAST once a week. I wonder if it is the same place. E-Mail me.
And I was UGLY with my last one. She was a girl. Go figure!
So hilarious!! I'm also pregnant w #4...gotta love the comments. "You've grown since the last time I saw you a week ago." Thanks so much!
Also I LOVE your blog!
Oh this is so funny!
HAHA! Well, congratulations!

So, now I am ugly?
I heard that with boys you gain weight all over & w/girls its only in the belly area. I did find this true for me.
What a response you have gotten! I'm having a boy only a few weeks after you and I have felt horribly ugly for the last month. The hormones causing the breakouts on my face is a nightmare. Thanks for explaining to me why this is.
