7 Weeks: I’m tired and slightly nauseous late at night. Oh, and I gained a pound. (Not too bad seeing as my jeans will barely button thanks to massive bloating.)
Since I am not laying in absolute misery with a bucket, ginger ale, and boxes of saltines bedside me…and I haven’t called off work because of dry heaves and endless sobbing...and I still have some interest in life…
Hmmm.
All signs say BOY.
I’m hesitant to even write this post because the Evil Goddess of Pregnancy Symptoms might find me and slap an extra dose of “Oh God, someone just kill me” on me—but really, this pregnancy is SO much better than my first.
With the Big E, I was sick by the 5th week. I was nauseous, dizzy, weak, and totally miserable. It didn’t help that I worked retail in a stifling hot mall, standing on my feet behind a jewelry counter and being harassed by my boss about having *GASP* a bottle of water on the sales floor and running to the bathroom too much.
This time, I have a comfy desk chair, unlimited snacks and beverages, a bathroom 5 feet away, a drawer full of Preggie Pops…and I got nothin’. Not even a twinge.
Plus, the Chinese Gender Chart says this baby must be a boy. Although…if this chart was really accurate…wouldn’t the hospital delivery room have nothing but girls one month and then all boys the next?
Maybe the Chinese aren’t very reliable. After all, my placemat at the Super Chinese Buffet said my baby is going to be a Tiger and he should “beware the Monkey”—and I’m a Monkey.
(Awkward.)
Wait…there’s the answer! My awesomely evil Monkey powers are subduing the baby’s inner Tiger, thereby causing optimal pregnancy conditions.
Beware the Monkey, male fetus!
Beware the Monkey.

Actually, those Chinese charts are pretty accurate. My daughter, me, husband, and all of our extended family fit it perfectly. And don't worry about the Monkey and Tiger thing, that what my husband and I are. Congratulations by the way!
I agree with the above commenter, those Chinese charts are VERY accurate.
Chinese chart was right for me!
Chinese chart was right this time for me (girl), but not last time (boy). Good luck, though. I am glad that you are having an easier time this go round.
so very clever of you to figure all that out!
The chinese chart was correct about the sex of my baby!
Are you going to find out when they're able to determine the sex of the baby, or are you going to wait and be surprised?
I couldn't wait...I would have driven myself stark raving mad!
Yay to you for an easy (so far) pregnancy. I had it easy for both the boy and girl, so that wasn't a teller for me. The citrus craving was my girl clue though... and the Chinese charts were right for both of them!
Well.... every chart, swinging wedding ring, and floating pencil said I would be the mom of 2 boys. Um.... I'm very much not.
hmmm...well the chart looks accurate for my first. And it's saying another girl for me this time around. I don't know..I could've swore I was carrying a boy, but I also thought that with my first ;)
According to the chart, I would have 2 girls. Granted, my oldest can scream like a girl but he's very much a boy...as is his brother.
All the charts and predictors said girl...I had a boy.
Yay for an easy pregnancy so far! And yay for chinese buffets! I love all the different food and pretend that two helpings is a "sample" so I can go back for more of something else!
ahaha, beware the monkey...
love it, glad you are feeling pretty darn good!
Have you seen the gender tests that are now available? I saw them mentioned on a TV show last week and immediately told a pregnant co-worker about them. She wants to get one and try it! http://www.intelligender.com/?gclid=COrblebbgJ0CFcZM5QodDUfzbQ
Glad you're back - OMG on the prego news - bless your heart! You're right though - God knows best and there's something He's doing that's bigger than what you could have planned on your own. I love reading your blog - you are the real deal and genuine people are so far and few between - thanks for sharing :)
