Did you just "know"
I knew that mine was a girl.
I have great skin usually, and not long after I got pregnant my jawline broke out. I kept telling hubby it was a girl because of that, he thought I was crazy until we got the ultrasound done! LOL You know that old wives tale about 'girls steal your beauty'. Ha ha ha But I knew it in my gut, even though I had wished for a boy.
Guess what! IT'S TOTALLY A GIRL. There is no room for errors on this either, I totally saw the girl parts on the detailed scan.
It was a little heartbreaking at first because I was so wanting a boy (and was so convinced). Of course, I am thrilled now!
Love, Riah

Hi Liz,
We didn't find out what we were having either time. With my first, I wasn't sure until near the end, and then I was pretty sure she was a girl -- and she was. With my second, I really wanted my daughter to have a sister, but I thought he was a boy -- and he was! So I guess I did know, but sometimes people "know" and are wrong. My mom thought she was having a boy with both pregnancies, and she got my sister and me! :)
Also, the heartrate split is 140 -- under 140, it's supposedly a boy, and over, it's supposedly a girl. I don't remember my daughter's heartrates, but at times, my son's heartrate was in the 120s and other times, the 150s. It depends on how active they are at the time, and might even depend on if you just ate.
There are lots of fun gender predictors online, too. Google "boy or girl?" and you'll find little quizzes. The Chinese gender predictor was right both times. Here's a fun list:

I have/had morning (ALL DAY) sickness, pimples, hair is growing out of control on my legs, extra moody. So funny - I love these lists! Chinese predicition is girl.
I am split - I want one of both so I'll have more of a preference next time! There arne't many girls on hubby's side of the family and well I am sure that the Grandmothers & Great Grandmothers would adore a girl (so much fun!) and well there's nothing sweeter then a boy! So I'm sticking with happy and healthy! lol
