Mommy’s widened nose
The mystery of guessing the sex of the baby ranges from physical to psychological changes in the mother. However, scientifically there is no reason to believe your physical outlook dictates the gender of the baby. Of course the guess is still “on” no matter what:
If you are carrying a boy, your skin is supposed to worsen and your nose will widen. This is reportedly because of the male harmones that are produced in your body. Your tummy is supposed to be pointy too.
However, if you are carrying a girl, your “pregnancy” glow will make you beautiful and radiant. Also, your tummy will be rounder and therefore you will look very pregnant from any angle.
Guess for yourself at my 19th week vs. 15th week:
More excitingly, we have gone to the doctor and our monkey is doing very well (although the mom is gaining weight a little too fast!). When we had the ultrasound scan, Monkey actually raised his hand and sort of waved to us! It was very very exciting. He has very long fingers like his dad:
The left photo has monkey’s head and body and the right photo, you can see his hand waving again!
Until next week, goodbye and much love from Ian, Stacey and Monkey in Hong Kong.
