A few days ago, I stumbled upon a gender predictor test I hadn't heard of yet. It seemed relatively straightforward, cheap, and fun, so I ran it past Taz when I got home, and we walked to the Food Basics nearby to get ourselves a veggie soothsayer.
The process is really simple. We cut about a third of the cabbage into small pieces, covered them in water in a large saucepan, and brought it to a boil. We let it boil for 10 minutes, and then drained the water out into a bowl. Then, we let that water (which was dark dark blue) cool to room temperature.
Then I peed in a cup. I seem to be doing this alot lately.
Online, it said to mix equal parts cabbage juice and pee, so we measured it out, and mixed the two together. The cabbage juice is supposed to change colour in reaction to the acidity level in your urine, and the results indicate boy or girl. If it goes a light pink/red, you are carrying a boy, and if it becomes a dark purple shade, you are carrying a girl....
Mine was dark dark undeniably purple! Another stroke in my favour! We retested in the morning since we had a bunch of juice left over, and they do say to try to test using the first pee of the day. Same results. Woohoo!!
We have names picked out officially too!
Boy: Jet Thompson Ward
Girl: Amelia Julianne Ward
If anyone has any other fun gender tests that don't involve assessing how low or high the baby is "carrying" (I don't even have a real bump yet) let me know. I'm 13 weeks today, and can't wait until the 22nd of Feb when we learn for sure!
