Boy or Girl? Predictor Tests #3 & #4

While visiting our friends, Dan, Tracy and Abby (one of the cutest things you ever did see) a couple weeks ago, we administered two gender predictor tests.  A special "Thank you" to Tracy for her services.


Predictor Test #3:  The Baking Soda Test
*Warning:  This is a urine test.

For this test, you pour baking soda in one cup and urinate in another cup.  Then, mix them together and see what magic results.  

• Fizzing = Boy
• No reaction = Girl.  

It seems to me that the girl should be more dramatic, but the Internet is never wrong.

Results of the Baking Soda test suggest... BOY!

Predictor Test #4:  The Metal Test

I heard a few people swear by this test.  My mom indicated that it's been right for people on her side of the family and it was 100% accurate for Tracy.  For this test, you attach a piece of metal to a string and hold it above the pregnant belly.  

• If the string swings back and forth (chin to feet)...Boy
• If the string swings in a circle...Girl

We used Jonathan's wedding ring and a piece of ribbon for our test.  

Results of the Metal Test suggest...  BOY!

I must reveal that we have attempted this test two more times at home (although we replaced the ribbon with dental floss).  It continues to swing back and forth!

That brings our score to Girl 2, Boy 2.
