Old Wives Tales

There are countless Old Wives Tales to predict the sex of a baby, so I decided to try one.

The ring test involves tying a ring to the end of a string and hanging it over a pregnant woman's belly or wrist. If the ring moves back and forth like a pendulum it predicts a boy, and if it moves in a circular motion it predicts a girl.

First I tried it over my belly. Result= Pendulum/boy
Next I tried it over my wrist. Result= Pendulum/boy
Then I tried it on Max (just for kicks). Result= Circular/girl
My hubby even let me try it on him! Result= Circular/girl

Just for good measure, I had my husband hold the string and do it over my belly again. Result= Pendulum/boy!

I don't put very much faith in this OWT, but it goes along with my original inkling that this bambino may be a boy. The Chinese Gender Chart on The Bump also has me slated to have a boy.
We'll likely find out the end of August/beginning of September! I can't wait! :)
