My mother's intution has been telling me for weeks now that I'm carrying the future all star pitcher for the Chicago Cubs! (and since girls cant play major league baseball, this means I think I'm having a boy) I have an ultrasound in a little over two weeks, which hopefully will settle the blue or pink nursery discussion for good. However, Grandma saw a "pee on a stick/find out the gender of your baby test" at the store and decided that, of course, I had to have it.
Let me just say -- this is not a pee on the stick kinda test. This is the most complicated science experiment I've ever done. And I used to win science fairs people! There's multiple cups, a syringey thing, a cup full of crystals, and a precise timing method. But I decided to humor mom and try it out. I must say, after getting urine all over the place (seriously, black light our bathroom right now, I bet its mighty contaminated), the timed 5 minutes are up (the exact, and only, time this test will show you an accurate result according to the box), I check the cup of crystals/urine, sitting on a white surface, at eye level, without picking the cup up (these are the scientific rules) and .... I couldn't really tell. It was yellow for a girl/green for a boy. My cup was green on the bottom/yellow on the top. If I had to guess what color it was closer to, I'd have to go green. Looks like my pitcher is on his way!!
Though I've been feeling that for a good 10 weeks now and did not need to get urine all over the place to "confirm" it .... (thanks for thinking of me though Mom! xo)
*On the record, Scott thinks its a girl ... tune in on the 16th of March to see who is right!*
