Old Wives Tales
I love guessing the sex of people’s babies, especially my own. I know Old Wives’ tales are 50/50 and completely false I still like doing them and reading into them all. LOL I found a list of them online and we did them all just to see what they say. So while you are waiting for the scratch card or announcement here’s some fun, light reading. Heart Rate If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. Prediction outcome: Girl. When we first heard it, it was 173-177bpm. The…

I did “cheat” a bit as I got a template for the numbers off the internet that was free shared because I didn’t have enough time to design my own. I came up with a list of 50+ activities to add to each day and added the ones we wanted to do with the boys. I also laminated those so we can just re-use them each year and easily add to them as the kids get older. Something like this: Here’s the list of things we are doing this year: Get photos taken by Jenn Watch Frosty…
