you know what...i must say i really never have a really bad day. i mean im exhausted and barely....i mean barely can type this message cause i am ready for bed at 7:45 lol....but i don't feel bad. however i have been still trying to get over this nasty cold / sinus infection yuck! i hate the feeling of flem in the back of my throat....top 10 worst feelings. i went to the obgyn to pee in a cup today again...seems this will be a forever practice for me to check my protein and bacteria levels....shrugs. oh and my belly is still angry with me for not eating enough fiber...enough said. maybe i should down some metamucil..snickers.
eating:
let me see today started with a yummy whole wheat english muffin with some butter and a glass of grapefruit juice. for lunch a tuna sandwich...salad...and sun chips YuMmY! i don't remember sun chips being so wonderful. for dinner i snacked on a piece of chicken in a wrap with lettuce and rounded of the evening with a bit-o-ice cream.......ah
other:
recently i have been fascinated with old wives tales about how to tell the sex of your child. some believe you can tell based on the rate of the heart beat of the child. if your child's heartbeat is over 140 beats per minute you are having a girl.....however below a boy. another group of people believe that it is based on your eating habits. if you find yourself in the fridge pigging out all the time (once the morning sickness wears off....if you have it) then you are having a boy. if you are indifferent about food a girl. VERY VERY INTERESTING>>>>>> looks like a girl wins for me.....but wait if you carry your belly high in the second and third trimester they say a girl if low a boy....lol.

What Your Urine Says
This next test to determine a baby's sex may not be for everyone, although it is very simple. Just take a sample of your urine and mix it with Drano. Depending on the color change of your urine, you will have a boy or a girl. Unfortunately, there is no consensus on what color equals which sex. So, if you do decided to try this and your urine turns bluish yellow, brownish, brown, black or blue you will be having a boy. If your urine looks more greenish brown, green, blue or doesn't change at all, then you're having a girl. But be warned: if you decide to do this test, there could be some pretty harsh fumes produced - not to mention the possibility of an explosion!.
Craving Something…Sweet?
Many people believe that your cravings are caused by the sex of your baby. So, if you can't get enough chocolate, you could be having a girl. Does the idea of drinking straight lemon juice sound delicious to you? Then those sour cravings are a result of the little boy inside of you. However, if you go by the scientists, then some of them will claim that you're not even having cravings because cravings just don't exist.
Weight Gain
Thankfully, this one doesn't refer to your weight gain. The belief is that, if your husband puts on weight during your pregnancy, then you will be having a girl. If he doesn't put on a pound, then you're carrying a boy.
At-Home Tests
Here's a test that you can do next time you change or get out of the bath. Look in the mirror at your breasts. If the right one is larger, you're having a boy! A larger left breast indicates a girl (if they're the same size, does that mean you're having one of each?).
H old a pendant over your hand. If the necklace swings back and forth, you're having a boy. If it is more of a circular motion, then it's a girl. This can also be done by suspending a ring on a string above your belly.
Do you have acne? Some believe that getting acne during your pregnancy indicates you're carrying a girl. Maybe the acne is caused by twice the amount of female hormones?
Pick up a key. If you've picked it up by the thinner end, you're having a girl. Picking it up by the bottom, rounder part means a boy is on the way. Did you pick it up by the middle? Then congratulations! You're having twins!
· Ask yourself what you think you're having. In a study that asked women with no previous knowledge about their baby's sex, the moms-to-be correctly guessed the sex of their baby 71% of the time.
Other Pregnancy Beliefs
If you hold your arms above your head, your baby's umbilical cord will get wrapped around its head and choke it. This myth may have a spiritual basis or it may have been a way to keep women from doing anything when they were pregnant (perhaps the myth was created by an overworked mother?). However, if your baby gets caught up in its umbilical cord (which happens in about a 1/3 of births) it is because your baby was very fidgety inside of you and moved around a lot, not because of you.
· Similar to this is the belief in Hawaiian tradition that pregnant women should not wear leis. This folktale believed that wearing a lei would cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the baby's head and choke it. Nowadays, most people recognize that this folktale is a little over-the-top.
A pregnant woman should not take baths. This myth is routed in the belief that water can get into the vagina and thereby introduce bacteria to the baby. Scientists have proven that water does not enter a woman's vagina during a bath. In fact, baths will probably help pregnant women feel better by helping them relax.
