Boy or Girl?


We've been fielding a lot of odd questions lately. Is your baby's heart rate over 135? Is your nose wider? So, we've decided to answer all of the gender predicting questions for you right now. Hopefully we haven't missed any. And according to this pack of old wives' tales, we have a 33% chance of having a boy, and a 67% chance of having a girl. We'll see in few more months.

I feel like your list of "boy or girl" signs are so wacky. Are these true? You're in Salem. Isn't there a witch that could, like, consult the bones or read cards or call upon the moon spirit with a dagger blessed by Druids under a full moon at Stonehenge that would come up with these answers?

I'm excited to see you at the wedding!
