A heart rate up that high just screams I'M A GIRL!! only if you believe in that sort of thing though According to some people it is an old wives tale but my son's heart rate was nice and slow so we'll see I can't imagine waiting!! They couldn't tell at my 18 week u/s and I came close to having a hissy fit Thankfully I'm going in for a fancy 3D scan on the 17th and will know then!! Good luck holding off until the birth


One thing about the books... They are great and informative and all that, but take everything that you read with a grain of salt. I would have gone CRAZY if I had followed the What To Expect books to the letter! At some point you have to trust your instincts as well
