We don't know the sex of the baby yet. We'll find out in a couple weeks.
People have been looking at me and making quick guesses as to what the baby is. Some people do it by the size of my belly, some people do it by what I look like, some people do it by a 'feeling', some do little tricks.
One thing I was told was that there is a belief that you can guess whether it's a girl or a boy by how pretty the mother is. If the mother is having a boy, then the mother has an abundance of estrogen left over, making her prettier. If the mother is having a girl, then the baby girl is taking some of the estrogen, therefore taking some of the mother's beauty, making her uglier during her pregnancy.
95% of the people who guess what my baby is say it's a girl.
*cries*

To be fair, I've also heard it the other way around from some cultures (like the Brazilians or something) that when it's a girl the baby adds on to the beauty of the mother.
I'd like to think it's that one if the baby is indeed a girl.
However, when I look in the mirror, I think I look the same. The cheeks are rosier and the neck a little plumper, but it's still the same old me.
Posted by Yano at November 30, 2005 07:19 AMi can't tell until you're 6 months or so along... because that's when it's more obvious if you're carrying high or low. never heard of this ugly vs pretty thing.
Posted by: daysies on November 30, 2005 10:35 AMI dunno... My sister got ugly during pregnancy and she had a girl, but the pretty came back and now she and my niece are full on pretty. :)
Posted by: Anita on November 30, 2005 11:10 AMI thought it was the other way around?? I thought in our Filipino culture: boy=ugly, girl=pretty?? I have a boy and a girl and the only thing I noticed different was the way I carried. I carried low with my boy(1st pregnancy) and high with my baby girl!
Posted by: Valerie on November 30, 2005 01:23 PMI never heard of the pretty/ugly thing. But from the picture below, you look great! :) I'll go out on a limb and say GIRL! :D
Posted by: Pridey on November 30, 2005 02:44 PMblah blah blah... by the looks of your yanocams, you look gorgeous! and i'm guessin' a boy...
Posted by: Nino on November 30, 2005 06:34 PMYou are by no means ugly. You look beautiful, as usual, but your face is fuller. That's why I'm saying...girl.
I'm pretty good at this. Haven't been wrong yet. So we'll see. :)
