Gender Prediction Tests!

**UPDATED July 10, 2015 to reveal answers!!**

So, many of you know we are Team Green this time around! We had our anatomy scan December 10th and we did not find out, nor did we have a chance to accidentally see anything! 

The tech may have very well given away the gender... But we are pretending she didn't say it outside of a general statement to avoid saying "the baby's."

She did confirm, again... there is only ONE baby in there! All those "are you sure it isn't multiple" comments can cease! We've had two ultrasounds showing only one precious little baby!

Everything seems to look healthy with Buck! The tech did not take long, so that could be a good thing. 
I'm dealing with a few "firsts" other than just not finding out the gender! Buck is... dun dun dun... BREECH! First breech baby! So my plans for Chiro work are starting about 15 weeks early! I'll be listening to my Hypnobabies 'Turn your Breech Baby' and doing some Spinning Babies! I know it's incredibly early, but oh well. My placenta is not low lying for the very first time, but it is anterior... which explains why I'm not feeling as much of the movement as I hear on the Doppler! Hopefully it moves a bit out of the way the bigger my uterus gets so we can feel and see all those sweet, playful kicks that I cherish so much! 
I'll get the "final word" from my doctor hopefully before the weekend!

Baby Buck DID turn head down around 28 weeks! We had the most incredible Home Water Birth on April 30, 2015 and...

IT'S A BOY!!

Here is our precious Buck!



So, I've looked up all the gender tests I tried with Miss Bailey and I'm doing them again! I never knew about any gender "tests" outside of Old Wives Tales when I was pregnant with Bentley, so I only have Bailey to "compare against!"

**The Ring Test**
So the Ring Test is fun! You put your engagement or wedding ring, or I suppose any ring! on a string, hold it over your wrist and it's supposed to tell you how many kids you're going have and the genders of them all. 
I did this with Bailey and just now with Buck and I've gotten the same result every single time!

Boy (Bentley)
Boy (Baby July)
Girl (Bailey)
Boy (Buck?) YES!!
Girl
Girl
Boy
Girl
Boy
By this time, my arms are hurting so I give up! But it's been the same every. single. time!

**The Baking Soda Test**
You put baking soda in a cup and pour your urine over it, if the baking soda fizzes very, very little or does nothing, it's a GIRL! If the baking soda fizzes a lot, it's a BOY!
For Bailey: GIRL! 
The baking soda hardly reacted at all with my urine and she's a GIRL!
For Buck: BOY!
The baking soda fizzed like crazy and made a "head" like pouring a beer and he's a BOY!

I don't have any pictures of Bailey's Baking Soda Test, but here are Buck's!
It's an incredible difference from Bailey's test! Hers had a few little bubbles and then settled to absolutely nothing! Definite GIRL result for Bailey and a definite BOY result for Buck!


**The Pencil Test**
The Pencil Test is very easy! Just get a string and attach it to a pencil. Stand up and hold the pencil chest high above your belly. If the pencil swings back and forth, it's a BOY! If the pencil circles, it's a GIRL!
Bailey: It's a GIRL!
After many, MANY attempts; it always circled.
Buck: It's a BOY!
 After a bunch of attempts, it always swung back and forth! It was right!

**Chinese Gender Prediction**
BabyCenter.com says:
Bentley: GIRL!
Bailey: BOY!
Buck: GIRL!

This seemed to be completely opposite for all my kids!

**The Mayan Chart**
If the year and your age are both even, it's a GIRL! If the one of the numbers is odd, it's a BOY!
Bentley: 21 and 2010 = it's a BOY!
Bailey: 24 and 2012 = it's a GIRL!
Buck: 25 and 2014 = it's a BOY!

This was RIGHT for all our kids!

**Intuition**
Bentley: BOY!
Bailey: GIRL!
Buck: BOY!

For each kid my "vibes" have been crazy strong... For Bentley and Bailey I was RIGHT! Will I be right for Baby Buck?! Is it possible my intuition could be right for a THIRD time?! Time shall tell! Either way we will be so happy and blessed for a third healthy baby!

Welp, my intuition is THREE for THREE!

Until next time, friends

Postpartum Herbal Baths

  To buy Postpartum Herbal Bath Blends: You can purchase my handcrafted blend  HERE! Hey sister! I'm so excited to be talking about Postpartum Herbal Baths on the blog! My Postpartum Herbal Baths are officially launched on my website and being offered! I make these in very small batches, so the quantities in stock are limited, but pre-ordering is always an option if I happen to be out of stock!  I really enjoyed the benefits of a Postpartum Herbal Bath after the birth of Badrick! About four days postpartum, my sweet hubby got my herbs steeping in a giant stock pot, ran me a beautiful bath, lit a candle and got both Badrick and I settled into our bath while checking on us periodically. The time we spent in that bath soaking are some of my fondest postpartum moments.  Badrick blissfully laid in my arms nursing and napping. I laid there blissfully reminiscing on our wonderful home water birth and the four days that had already passed since we welcomed this new little so...

Who Told My Baby She Could Grow Up?!

Image
I'm serious. Who told her? Because I want to speak with you! You should have come to me first because I am her mother! I did not give you permission to tell my baby that she could grow up! Miss Bailey turned 7 months today! I can hardly believe that 7 months have gone by so quickly! She was just my itty bitty last week, wasn't she? Let's reminisce. Because I love walks down Memory Lane.   That was 7 months ago... It seems like last week. Here's my little beauty today! Very happy after dinner last night! BLW FTW! On Monday she pulled herself up standing for the very first time! I finally caught it on camera today! Perfect for her 7 month birthday! And today marks 7 months of Exclusively Breastfeeding! I'm so grateful for being able to make it this far in our breastfeeding journey! Her newest favorite is Nurse-nastics! (think, gymnastics) Happy Wednesday, y'all! Make it awesome! Until nex...

Book Review: Ancient Map for Modern Birth by Pam England

Image
  Ancient Map for Modern Birth By Pam England “When your childbearing year becomes a heart journey, you will not just be birthing your child; all along the way you will be birthing a new self.” While you may not be handed a physical map, the journey through preconception, conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum is a journey in itself, that without a “map” can be very tedious to journey through. Instead of wading through murky waters and trudging through the thick, uncharted forests of your own personal journey, equip yourself with a map of knowledge that will clear your paths and give you guidance. As a maiden, you will be beginning the separation of maiden into mother. An old version of you must die away to birth the new version of you. And, you will do this again and again for each and every baby that you so choose to bring forth.  “You can study another’s map or show someone yours, but remember: no two landscapes of labor are the same.” As I read through chapter two and...
