The Arrival of Dean Douglas Johnson
Born August 16th, 2010 at 5:13am - 8lbs. 8oz. - 20 inches long
Ok, our family blog has been officially hijacked by the coolest little chubby cheeked baby in the world. This site will no longer contain photos of Dan, Lorie, or Zoey... but instead only show "the adventures of Dean Douglas Johnson". You have all been warned! :)
As most of you that read our blog know, Dan and I found out that we are having a baby BOY!!! We couldn't be happier and planning for our son is fully underway. The nursery is currently under construction....pictures to come later. I cannot stop buying cute baby boy clothes. And the UPS man has been here so many times that he finally asked Dan yesterday if someone was having a birthday. Opps. Dan and I have been reading up a lot on how to take care of the baby and how to prepare. Poor Zoey has become our guinea pig lately and she is getting trial rides in the bob stroller and is the perfect size to practice our swaddling technique.
Testing the Old Wives Tales
Our big ultrasound is tomorrow and on top of finding out that baby Johnson is doing ok we'll also hopefully find out the gender. So in preparation of our appointment tomorrow we thought it would be fun to see what the old wives tales have to say.
Direction of the Ring - BOY
Many people believe in the good old ring test as a way to tell what the sex of their baby is going to be. In this test you hang your wedding ring from a string over your belly. If the ring swings back and forth your baby is a girl. If it swings around in a circle then it is a boy.
Fast Heart Rate Tale - GIRL
Some people believe that if your baby has a fast heart rate, above 140 beats per minute, then that means you are having a girl, and that if your baby’s heart rate is below 140 beats per minute then you are having a boy.
Cravings - BOY
Some people say that if you crave salty food while pregnant it means you are having a boy and if you crave sweet food while you are pregnant it means you are having a girl.
Morning Sickness - GIRL
If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.
Chinese Gender Chart - BOY
The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the ultrasound shows tomorrow!
