I found this article on fun ways to determine the gender of the baby. Here are the results:
I've left the ones I dont know about (like heartbeat) alone. When I know those, then I'll add them.
It's a boy if:
* You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
* Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
* You are carrying the extra weight out front
* Your belly looks like a basketball
* Your areolas have darkened considerably
* You are carrying low
* You are craving salty or sour foods
* You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
* Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
* The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
* Your hands are very dry
* Your pillow faces north when you sleep
* Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
* Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
* Your urine is a bright yellow in color (which I'm sure you wanted to know)
* Your nose is spreading
* You hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves in circles
* You are having headaches
* You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is even
10/19 = 53% chance it could be a boy
It's a girl if:
* You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
* Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
* You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear
* Your left breast is larger than your right breast
* Your hair gets red highlights (always have had them)
* You are carrying high
* Your belly looks like a watermelon
* You are craving sweets
* You are craving fruit
* You crave orange juice
* You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy
* You are moodier than usual during pregnancy
* Your face breaks out more than usual
* You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
* Your breasts have really blossomed!
* Your pillow faces south when you sleep
* Your urine is a dull yellow in color
* If you hang your wedding ring over your belly, it moves from side to side
* If you add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived the number is odd
8/19 = 42% chance of having a girl
According to this Chinese Gender Calendar, we are having a boy.

I just got the VP to do the ring test on me. It swung side to side both times he did it. Once it looked like it was moving in small ovals, but mostly just side to side. He was right about the previous employee who went on mat leave.

Just added what colour my pee is, and the shape of my belly. That put boy at over 50%.

i'm going with a girl. i can see you with pink fluffy blankets.
proof positive in the breastestes, no?
its a boy. i think tommy has a nice ring to it.
Good thing your nose isn't spreading. I once had a case of the noses and is spread all over my back and shoulders. Sneezing was hell.
"Blossoming breasts" has some happy imagery. I'm going to leave you sight with a blissful smile on my face.
moi: I think the boobies combined with the ring test make a good case for a girl.
conversely,
ghost: I like how you say "it's a boy" ... it's final. :) I found one of those Chinese calendars where people say whether or not it worked for them, and apparently it has a 70% success rate. Hmmm.
shenry: definitely wouldn't want any nose spreadage. I'm spreading enough elsewhere as it is! hehe. blossoming breasts is nice imagery, I agree. very spring-ish.
