Headaches

I think I've had a headache almost every day for the last 2 months. I read in one of my books that headaches CAN be caused by hormones or it could be that I'm clenching my jaw too much when I sleep. Whatever the reason, its difficult because I don't want to take TOO much tylenol (not every day) - just makes me uncomfortable. The headaches did get me to search the internet though and somewhere it said that according to an old wives tale, pregnancy headaches mean your having a boy! If that's the case, then we are DEFINITELY having a boy because these headaches won't go away!! Got me thinking of other old wives tales regarding gender. Here they are and I will share my answers in parentheses.

If the hair on your legs is growing faster than before you were pregnant - BOY (GIRL)
If you sleep with your pillow to the north - BOY (BOY)
If your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy - GIRL (BOY)
The maternal mother has grey hair - BOY (BOY)...sorry mom!
Morning sickness early in pregnancy - GIRL (GIRL)
Chest development has been quite dramatic - GIRL (GIRL!!!!!!)
Craving for salty or sour foods - BOY (BOY)
Craving for fruit - GIRL (GIRL)
****maybe I'm just craving everything****
Dad to be is NOT gaining weight right along with mom - GIRL (GIRL)
You are looking particularly good during pregnancy (yes, thank you) - BOY (BOY)

So there you have it -some old wives tales. It seems from the results that we're still 50/50. Just 3-5 more weeks to go and we'll hopefully know the answer.
