Mrs. Undaground got to hear the heartbeat again on Friday. 150 bpm. The child is obviously taking after me because that's about where my heart rate is after a few minutes on the exercise bike.
Internet research shows that the whole fetal heart rate as a gender predictor thing is just an old wives tale. One site does say that a faster heart rate means there's a 5% greater chance that it's a girl. 150 bpm is about 10 bpm above the average, so there you have it. Vegas odds are set at 55/45 that it's a girl.
In 3 weeks, we'll both attend the ultrasound and know for sure, assuming the baby cooperates and gives us a look.
I've been telling everybody that I have no preference whatsoever. I'm not saying this to be politically correct. I mean it. I can find so many great things about having a boy and having a girl. I'll take either. Mrs. Undaground, on the other hand, has a preference. I won't say what it is, because I don't want our son to read this some day and get mad at his Mom because she wanted a girl.

Humm must be an old wives tale. Jake had a very fast heartbeat as well but I'm pretty sure he is all boy. I can't wait to find out...I have been predicting girl all along but I'm not very good at that since I was convinced I was having a girl. GOOD LUCK!!!
I hope it's a girl, I hope it's a girl. We need another girl in this world!! (Reverse psycology)
