Ok my peeps, bored again, so yet another scientific, sure fire way of gender prediction...(Drum roll please)  You got it!!  Since Im asian, what better way to find the gender of the baby then the Chinese Birth Chart!!!  Im mean heck, it should be right for the simple sake of its origins right???

Here is a little blurp from the site we used....

Chinese Birth Chart based on the Lunar Calendar

Remember, the Chinese lunar calendar is very different from the calendar used in the West. The Chinese calendar charts lunar cycles; the Western, or Gregorian calendar, uses the earth's rotation around the sun to chart time. Other Chinese birth charts available for free online fail to take this into account, making their gender prediction unreliable.

Our birth chart is different. We have converted the ancient Chinese birth charts' lunar calendar dates into Western calendar dates, making it very simple for you to use. Simply locate the mother's date of birth on the left side of the chart, and the date of conception accross the top of the chart. This Chinse birth chart is for the 2008 calendar year.

In 2008, the first day of the first month on the lunar calender was February 7th. In 2009, the first day of the Chinese lunar calender will be January 26th. 2009 Chinese Birth Chart

After looking at the chart, it was determined that we are having a girl!!!  HHHMMMM, better start saving for yet another wedding in the future...

Ok, so we got bored today and decided to take a weird little test driven by a collection of old wives tales.....so here are the results...think what you want, believe what you want...LOL

Congratulations!

You have a 39% chance of having a boy.
And you have a 60% chance of having a girl.

 

And Here's Why...
You are carrying the extra weight around the hips and bottom, so it's a girl.
The hair on your legs is not growing any faster during your preganacy, so it's a girl.
Boys are carried low. You are going to have a boy.
Sleeping in a bed with your pillow to the south indicates that you will be having a girl.
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy. You are having a boy.
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread. You are having a girl.
Dad-to-be hasn't been gaining weight along with Mom-to-be, so it will be a girl.
The maternal grandmother doesn't have gray hair (dyed or natural), so a girl will be born.
You didn't have morning sickness early in pregnancy, so it will be a boy.
You are looking particularly good during pregnancy. Therefore, it must be a boy, because girls steal their mother's looks.
Your chest development has been quite dramatic during pregnancy. You should expect a girl.
Since the sum of the mother's age at conception and the number of the month of conception is an odd number, it will be a girl.
A needle on a thread held over your belly moves in circles, so you will have a boy.
Your urine is a dull yellow color, so you will have a girl.
You are craving sweets, which means that it is a girl.
Your nose hasn't changed during pregnancy, which indicates a girl.
You have been craving meats or cheeses, so it is a boy.
Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.
You must have orange juice every day, so it's a girl.
You are having headaches, so it's a boy.
Your belly looks like a basketball, so it's a boy.
You show them the palm of your hand, so it's a girl.
You use the handle, so it's a boy.

As we near the day to where our new baby will arrive, many things run through my mind.  With five kids running around, we will have our work cut out for us, but fear not, we will give it our best...there is no other alternative, we owe it to all the children!  Surina and I have been working hard at our own parenting style, and I must say, we are finding common ground and things are going very smooth as of late :)  We knew that it could not be my style, or her style...but it MUST be our style, and we have been doing quite well :)  With the new one on the way, our hope is that OUR style will be well in place which will ensure the children and us an easy adaptation to having a new baby in the house. 

We are all so excited to meet this new child, I find myself counting the days as I am sure everyone else is...though the little ones here now cant count yet, but you get the point..LOL  But first things first, transportation....YES, here it is again, the discussion of the century....the dreaded MINIVAN!  I guess we can just look at it as transportation and nothing else, yet the uncoolness of it all has me completely funked out.  I suppose if I have internal conflicts about this potential van, I can remind myself that im still cool??  You know, constantly repeating to myself.."I have a motorcycle and a truck at home"  I figure if I repeat this a million times to myself, the mystical uncoolness of owning a minivan with cease to exist im my own, sometimes feable, mind...yes, that was a knock on myself ;p  No man enjoys having is manly hood threated right??...LOL  I know I know, suck it up Ping!  Sheeeeesh, its just a van right??  (excuse me while I go vomit, and cry for a bit)  I suppose its actually time to go test drive some of these manhood eaters to see what we like...(oh my, here comes another tear)  I mean come on to all these car manufacturers out there, why the heck hasnt anyone designed a manly SUV with sliding doors????  Thats one of the main reasons of getting a minivan (just threw up in my mouth) in the first place, ease of entry for all the troops!  Surina seems to think a Suburban is too big, end of discussion, I couldnt even take a breath to defend my reason before she slammed the door on that one!  With all this said, looks like we are back to the minivan (omg, feeling queasy again).....HHHHMMM, ill write more later, gonna go start my motorcycle, sniff the exhaust, and rev the thing a few times to build up some manly mojo.......Stay tuned my peeps!!!
