It seems like we waited for a pregnancy announcement forever, but even now that we know the royal couple really does have a baby on the way, we're STILL not satisfied. (Why would we be?)
Of course we are thrilled over the exciting baby news, but now we are dying to know whether Kate Middleton is expecting a baby girl or a baby boy -- or possibly both? (Yes, there is some speculation that Kate's severe morning sickness could be a sign of twins.)
Though there's a very good chance we won't know the sex of the royal heir until his or her birth, the UK parenting site, BabyCentre, is predicting that Kate is pregnant with a baby girl.
They examined a few criteria before determining that Kate and Prince William will likely be decorating their nursery in pink instead of blue.
In addition to their ages, the site indicates the fact that they live together makes them more likely to produce female offspring. (Huh. Don't most people expecting a baby live together? And don't some of them wind up having boys?)
Also, William's stressful job as a search and rescue pilot could mean a girl is on the way, because men with stressful professions are more likely to have girls.
Lastly, Kate's thin frame was taken into consideration, as women who diet give birth to girls more often than boys.
Bottom line, the old wives' tale tricks are fun, but you really can't rely on them. Nobody really knows whether a boy or girl is on the way until an ultrasound or the baby's birth confirms it.
Did you try to predict the sex of your baby?
