I know none of us has any real scientific evidence to help determine the answer.

So I’ll give you any and all information I can.

And then you tell me what you think I’m having!

Symptoms:

• I had extreme nausea for the first 14 weeks. I didn’t lose weight, but I didn’t really gain any either.
• My first “sign” of pregnancy were my extremely, extremely tender boobs.
  After the first trimester, the pain finally went away.
  
• My second “sign” of early pregnancy was crippling pain and cramping.
• I’ve had rosacea all over my face, chest, arms and back since week 6.
• To go along with the super fun rosacea, I’ve had an acne breakout all over my face.
• My butt and hips have expanded quite a bit. and quite early on.
  
• However, my belly showed late (or what I think is late) — 18-19 weeks!
  
• I’m mostly comfortable sleeping on my back until about 3:30 in the morning;
  then I toss and turn between my left & right side until 6am.
• My blood pressure has remained very low; pre-pregnancy I had very low blood pressure as well.
• Based on the Chinese astrology gender determination, I’m having a girl.
• I’ve gained a total of about 8.5 – 9 pounds.
• At my 20-week appointment, the baby’s heart rate was 150 beats per minute.
• Cravings include root beer, mac & cheese, strawberries, and ice cream sandwiches.
• And, for good measure, I’ll include one very recent picture of myself:
  {don’t judge — I was wearing zero makeup and headed to the pool}

So… am I having a boy or a girl?
