Gender prediction???

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!*
