OWT Results

Tomorrow we will find out if we will be having another little girl or if I need to start gathering little boy things. The final tally for the Old Wives Tales (OWT) is:

Girl- 8
Boy- 5

Winner- GIRL

We'll see tomorrow if that is right. Be sure to cast your final vote in the poll in the upper left corner before midnight tonight. And no. I have not voted.

OWT: Necklace Over Head

The OWT says for you to have someone hold a necklace over your head to see which way it swings (similar to the OWT done a couple of days ago). If it swings back and forth, it means boy. In a circle means girl.

T held the necklace over my head and he says it swung in a circle and swung back and forth. Little help was that. But when I tried it to myself (with a mirror), I saw the same thing. It starts with a small circle or two, then starts swinging back and forth. This was a really close one, but I'm going to say it swings back and forth more than a circle. This give an OWT point to boy!


Girl- 8, Boy- 5

OWT: Bread

Today's OWT is another food related tale about the heels of bread.

I've never liked to eat the heels. I will usually even skip the piece next to the heel. I just don't like it and I still don't. Seriously, who does?

The tale from those old wives says that if you enjoy eating the heel of bread while pregnant, you are going to have a boy. If you prefer the middle, it's a girl. So, in this case, girl it is!

Girl-  8, Boy- 4

OWT: Wedding Ring Gender Test

You use a pin, needle, or wedding ring and attach it to a thread or strand of hair. Hold the dangling item over the belly. If the needle or wedding ring swings in a strong circular motion, you will be having a girl. If it moves in a to and fro motion like a pendulum, you will be having a boy. You can also try this over the wrist instead of the belly.

I did this one today, over belly and over wrist. Both of them swung strongly in a circular motion. I's say that means Girl
