I am 18 weeks pregnant and I really really want a boy, I already have my little Princess.. I want a boy so that my husband can have someone to play with and play football and baseball and all that stuff!! I go the 20 for a sonogram..I have a good feeling its going to be a boy..but that’s just my feelings..Probably cause I really really want one! Is there any theory out there about what it could be? The doctor gave me my first sonogram and she asked me what I wanted and I said a boy and she said that it has a boys strong and fast heartbeat..so that made me happy!! ;o) If you have any theories or websites I can go on please leave me a message..Thanks for all the help and your time for reading this silly request!! ;o) I hope that yall all have a HAPPY HOLIDAY!! Any helpful ideas on anything just drop me a line ….thanks again!!

Congratulations!! Hope you continue with a wonderful pregnancy.
You are on track with the heartrate. I was told boys have faster heart rates than girls. It was true for me.
Merry Christmas and Happy Motherhood!
I know this sounds strange but as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I KNEW that I was having a girl. Don't ask me how. And the odds were fairly low, I think, too, boys run rampant in my husband's family. My in-laws and everyone else told me I was having a boy, but I was adamant that it was a girl, and I was right. :) So maybe intuition can tell too?
The boxers vs. briefs theory didn't hold true for me however. Hubby is a briefs man and we had a girl.
There's also the old trick that I've known since elementary school. Either use a necklace with a quartz crystal or string your engagement ring on a piece of yarn/thread/etc. and hold it over your belly as still as possible. If I remember right, if it goes in circles it's a girl, and if it moves back and forth in a straight line, a boy. A friend did this on me when I was pregnant and it said I was having a girl. She said her granmother had done it after having all of her children(over your wrist if you aren't pregnant at the time), and it showed each gender correctly in order, including miscarriages she'd had. Strange...but kinda neat, I think.
This Chinese Lunar Gender Calendar is what I used... and it was right... also right for 2 other friends of mine!
Now you have to post on here as soon as you find out!
I've heard that a boy you carry really low and round, and a girl you carry up high on your stomach, so i guess you can take a look at your stomach and see where the baby is low or high. Good luck!
I don't mean to burst your bubble by saying this, but the heartbeat thing isn't true. I thought the same thing as you. One heartbeat was significantly faster than the other and one baby is MUCH more active than the other. I know this to be true because I'm 18 (almost 19) weeks pregnant with twins and we had our Ultrasound today. One of the heartbeats was 138 and one of them was 156 and my husband and I just found out that they're both girls.
Admittedly, we're a little disappointed. I'm like you and I wanted my husband to have a boy too (we have a 2 1/2 year old girl already). He was a little blown away, but I know he'll come around.
All I can say is be patient and leave it in God's hands. ;o)
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
Hi S.! If you think you are having a boy then you probably are! I just knew I was having a boy. Part of my thinking was that the pregnancies were so different! His heartbeat was lower than hers, he sat right under my boobs, and I had terrible morning sickness that I never had with her! But I also went on a website called fortune baby. Here is the link to it: http://www.fortunebaby.com/predict_future_child_birth_103.... I think it cost me a few dollars to find out but it was right! I had a boy! The chinese prediction calendar was wrong for both of my kids but this was correct! Have fun on the website and good luck! Please write back and let us know what you find out!

There is a chinese proverb that goes by your age at the time of conception and the month of conception. I am sorry I do not remeber the name of it but it was true for me. Either way you have a 50/50 chance. Good Luck and Congrats.
