Hello friends, welcome, and today we're going to be doing baby number two's gender reveal.
00:00:07.780
If you didn't know already, I am pregnant with baby number two, and I am so excited.
00:00:12.660
I am 18 weeks along officially, still not feeling a ton of movement, but kind of waiting
00:00:18.100
on pins and needles to see when this little baby starts jamming and moving around.
00:00:23.320
So I want to share today what the baby's gender is, what the baby's sex is, because we found
00:00:30.800
We found out at about 12 weeks, and we didn't share immediately, because I always think
00:00:36.120
it's fun to do one of these gender reveal videos, and we're really excited.
00:00:39.880
So the way that I'm going to share the gender of this baby is the same way that I did with
00:00:44.000
baby number one, which was by sharing old wives' tales and seeing what the old wives' tales
00:00:51.200
There's a bunch of old wives' tales that say that if you carry a certain way or if you
00:00:55.680
have certain moods or whatever, it means you're going to have a girl or a boy.
00:00:59.700
And so today, I want to kind of play a game and see if the old wives' tales are right.
00:01:07.020
They said I was having a girl, but really I had a boy.
00:01:12.460
Now, before we get into today's video, pause this video and write down below your guess for
00:01:22.920
Leave it down below, and then at the end of the video, you can go back and comment on
00:01:27.460
your first comment whether you were right or wrong, because that is pretty fun.
00:01:32.020
But I'm really excited to get into today's video.
00:01:34.680
Let's see if you guys were right, and let's just get started.
00:01:38.120
So we are using parents.com list of old wives' tales, and their first one is sleep position.
00:01:45.040
So according to this website, if you prefer sleeping on your left side, you are having a boy.
00:01:49.440
And if you prefer sleeping on your right side, then you are having a girl.
00:01:53.280
Well, I currently prefer sleeping on my left side, because my right side has sciatica.
00:02:01.960
So I prefer sleeping on my left, which means I'm having a boy.
00:02:07.220
If you have really bad morning sickness, it means you're having a girl.
00:02:10.540
If you're having not too terrible morning sickness, you're having a boy.
00:02:14.680
So this is pretty similar to the first time around.
00:02:17.260
I actually was sick between five weeks and 13 weeks.
00:02:23.400
And I only threw up once, but I did feel pretty terrible.
00:02:27.480
But I don't think it was like within the realms of theoretical girl morning sickness.
00:02:32.520
So we're also going to say that this falls under boy.
00:02:35.160
Number three is whether you have soft or dry hands.
00:02:39.300
If your hands are dry during pregnancy, then you're having a boy.
00:02:42.900
If your hands are soft during pregnancy, then you're having a girl.
00:02:47.040
Well, this time around, I've actually noticed that my hands look pretty dry.
00:02:51.020
So I'm going to say that this goes under the category of boy.
00:02:55.480
So we're at three for boy and zero for girl so far.
00:03:03.180
The idea is if you are craving salty, you're having a boy.
00:03:06.220
And if you're craving sweet, you're having a girl.
00:03:08.660
Now, I re-watched my first gender reveal video in preparation for this one.
00:03:13.020
And it's actually kind of funny because it's very similar this time around.
00:03:19.920
Initially, I was craving a lot of fresh things.
00:03:21.380
And I really wanted to go between salty and sweet.
00:03:28.660
But really, again, it's that sweet, salty thing that really I like, that I go for.
00:03:32.960
Um, but I'm going to say this time feels like I'm having more salty cravings.
00:03:44.740
If you are having acne during your pregnancy, then you are having a girl.
00:03:49.800
And if you are having clear, beautiful, glowing skin, you're having a boy.
00:03:53.800
So this time around, my skin hasn't been nearly as bad as it was the first time I was pregnant.
00:03:58.940
I would say that I had some acne in the first trimester, but it wasn't too, too bad.
00:04:06.040
Although I have some breakouts, but I always have breakouts.
00:04:08.840
I would say they're not totally different than normal.
00:04:10.920
So with that in mind, I'm going to say this is boy, which is five for boy.
00:04:16.580
So as of now, the old wives tales, I think I've got five for boy and zero for girl.
00:04:25.760
Morning sickness could very easily be girl, but I don't feel like I can define my morning
00:04:37.360
I really hate it and I feel sick, but it's not like debilitating.
00:04:46.840
Apparently, if you are having a girl, you'll be more graceful.
00:04:50.440
And if you are having a boy, you'll be more clumsy.
00:04:58.940
And I don't think that I'm more clumsy when I'm pregnant than not, but I am pretty clumsy
00:05:04.800
So let's say clumsy and that would mean I'm having a boy.
00:05:13.280
So if you are having a fuller face, a little bit more weight gain in your face during pregnancy,
00:05:19.580
And if you are having just a normal face, your face doesn't really look any different,
00:05:24.660
I don't think I've noticed any swelling or bloating in my face or weight gain.
00:05:29.620
So I'm going to say I'm putting that under boy.
00:05:35.080
So this is kind of funny because last time, I will say, I think I categorized some things
00:05:40.640
I probably said that like my sweet cravings put it under girl and my morning sickness
00:05:51.240
It's just that the saltiness has been more than the sweetness, I guess.
00:05:58.340
If you're having a girl, then you're going to have more mood swings.
00:06:04.500
So the first trimester, I will say, I was a little grumpy with Jacob.
00:06:09.400
And I find that that's kind of my thing during the first trimester is I get a little bit
00:06:17.160
By the second trimester and really by like week 10, it's really evened out.
00:06:24.340
So I'm going to say that for the most part, I'm pretty steady with the moods.
00:06:29.220
And I'm going to say that also leans towards boy.
00:06:35.140
If you're having a high pregnancy or a low pregnancy.
00:06:38.500
And if you're carrying high, that means you're having a girl.
00:06:41.180
If you're carrying low, it means you're having a boy.
00:06:48.100
So I am carrying low, which means that that is also for boy.
00:07:03.920
So if you have a little boy and he takes an interest in your belly, then you're having
00:07:11.960
If he doesn't take an interest in your belly, then you're having a boy.
00:07:15.160
My son does not even notice that I have a pregnant belly at this point.
00:07:24.620
And I really don't know how to get across to him that there's a baby coming.
00:07:35.940
So I would say that also leans towards having a boy.
00:07:41.400
But the last, last thing is the Chinese gender prediction test.
00:07:47.440
And that means you take your age and the month of conception and there's like a calendar
00:07:52.300
and it'll tell you whether you're having a girl or a boy.
00:07:56.600
So, you know, that's one for girl and 10 for boy.
00:08:01.220
Now, before I reveal whether or not we're having a girl or a boy, did you leave a comment
00:08:21.840
We're going to see how that progresses into the future.
00:08:23.720
But for now, I'm going to be a boy mom, which I love.
00:08:29.340
We really kind of were hoping to have another boy just because they're going to be so close
00:08:33.040
And I love the idea of having two little boys, getting into trouble together, getting into
00:08:45.420
And I can't wait to have two of them going everywhere and getting into everything.
00:08:57.680
And I'm really excited for any future children and whatever genders they have.
