According to the Myths...Baby Kautz is a??????????

Here is a list of Myths Justin and I found! Thought it would be fun to see what the myths predict we are having.

Carrying high or low. High = Girl and Low = Boy
            At first Justin said High but says middle…He says my height makes it too hard to tell.
Craving sweet or savory? If you're craving sweets, it's a girl.
            I craved fruit and donuts…oh and pizza rolls J We will go with girl.
If the baby’s father puts on weight during pregnancy - it's a boy.
            Justin hasn’t gained much weight…We did just go to an All Inclusive resort….so maybe 2 pounds…Boy?
The Ring Test. Suspend a ring over the pregnant belly. If it swings left to right, it’s a boy. If it rotates, it’s a girl.
            We had no idea what we were doing…it swung left to right..so Boy it is.

The Mothers Face. If it's round, full and rosy, it’s a girl.
   I’ve always had a rounder face :/

Acne. If you have more acne, it's a girl.
  I have had less, so Boy!
The Key Test. If the pregnant woman picks up a key from the thin end, then it’s a girl.
            I pick up a key from the fat end…I think….Boy

This week was quite the week. For the people that don't know Baby Kautz gave us quite the scare Friday night at midnight. We called the doctor due to some intense pressure pains, she had my lay UPSIDE down for two hours ( YES, its possible and not easy) After two hours I called back still having pressure. The doctor decided to have me come in to Maternity center to get monitored. After about twenty minutes on contraction monitor I had two small contractions and found traces of protien in my urine. Baby had his/her normal heart rate and my blood pressure was okay so they sent me home and just said to call doctor Monday and to check to make sure things are better by my next appointement. So tomorrow I will call the doctor and go from there. As long as baby is healthy I can handle the fact of being uncomfortable....ITS WORTH IT:)
