What the Chinese say...and my mom

According to the Chinese gender chart, this baby is a girl.

I thought they were wrong about Gemma, but I used the chart wrong and it turns out they were right about Gemma too.

here's hoping that the Chinese are wise and not a bunch of loonies. LOL.

So my mom (though not Chinese) also has a method for predicting gender using the gender of the baby born before it. Apparently all babies are born with a vein on the bridge of their nose. If that vein is vertical, the next baby will be of the same sex. If it's horizontal, it will be of a different sex.

So she says that she never could really see a vein with Gemma, but because there was no strong vertical line, she believes this baby might be a boy. Obviously this is kind of a weird thing (and probably a load of crap) and doesn’t even really make sense (can't see one, so must be the other??) and she even admits to it not being accurate all the time (50/50?? LOL). My mom is, however, an amazing reader of pregnant women's bodies and can tell you what it will be when you're huge (nearing the end of your pregnancy). She hasn't been wrong yet. Seriously. Never.

anyways, back to the Chinese. I hope they're right.
