In reply to Xyla Tate. Oh my gosh! That's too funny. The things you do with your friends as kids. I love it! And congrats on eight kids! I'm the youngest of nine. ;)

When I was about 13, some friends and I decided to try and predict how many children we would have and what their gender would be. We stuck a threaded needle into the eraser end of a pencil and suspended it over our wrist – similar to the wedding ring predictor. The pencil predicted that I would have seven children in this order: B,B,B,G,B,B,G. I actually had eight children in this order: B,B,B,G,B,B,B,B. I think the pencil did a pretty good job of predicting what my family would be like.

I have predicted about 90% of the pregnancies I’ve seen correctly since I was a young teen. I’d get a “hunch” as I observed a pregnant lady in her last trimester. I am less often correct now, probably because I have lost the magical “hunch” that I had when I was younger.

As for myself, I have had 3 pregnancies and was only correct in predicting my first child’s gender. I dreamt she was a girl and she was born one. The other 2 pregnancies felt different from the first and each other, so I was guessing that they were boys, but we were blessed with girls.

Ultrasounds were no good for me. Each of my baby’s would bring their legs up to hide their genital regions. If the ultra-sonographer moved the wand to the other side, then their other leg would bend up to keep their gender hidden.

I wish I had known about some of these other old-wives tricks so I could have tried them during my pregnancies, but I didn’t. The Chinese gender calendar is wrong for 2 of my 3 pregnancies.

Ultimately, I loved the element of surprise at each birth.
