With my first three pregnancies, I immediately knew what I was having–my intuition was just so clear. I even knew not to bother with names of the opposite gender, because I wouldn’t need them. But this time I have had really no leaning towards either–I don’t know if it’s because the baby was such a true shock that I don’t know what to think or what. This time is just very different–I even still have feelings that something isn’t quite “right,” but I’m going to tell myself that’s just a common insecurity.
But yesterday I had my first “inkling” towards gender. I know it’s an “Old Wive’s Tale,” but when I was pregnant with my girls, my hair just didn’t grow. It’s probably way too much information, but I only had to shave my legs maybe once a month. My hair only had to be cut once or twice during those pregnancies as well. But two days after they were born, everything went back to normal. In fact, I started my “Four week after baby day out,” because of this very thing. While my hair quit growing during the pregnancies, it grew four to six inches within the first month after their births–it was overkill.
During my pregnancy with Jared, my hair grew and grew–I just couldn’t keep up with it. And opposite of the girls, after his birth, it stopped growing and then continued on normally.
Yesterday a friend of mine pointed out that my hair has gotten quite a bit longer just in the past week or so and I realized she’s right.
So…..could it really be another boy?

Very interesting! I must be having a boy too, except that I’m not pregnant. My hair is just growing super fast.
I thot all three of my pregnancies were boys. We haven’t birthed a boy yet.
hmmm….well are you sure you’re not expecting. π
I wonder if it’s the oil you use, isn’t it supposed to help keep your hair shiny and healthy? As well as keep your skin and nails healthy, too?
Actually, I didn’t want to admit it, but it’s the henna I color my hair with. Makes my hair super healthy.
AH!!! Yes, the Light Mountain item? I found it at our local natural grocery–so is it safe for a pregnant woman to use? If so, would it make my own hair super healthy? LOL
Henna is an herb, yes, I’m fairly certain it would be safe during pregnancy.
What do you mean “your own hair”? Did you think I was coloring a wig? lol
I color *my own* hair. π
Have I mentioned that I’m pregnant? π
