Boy or Girl?

Matthew and I should be finding out the gender of our baby soon. I've been having fun guessing and seeing what some of the old wives tales say.

Heartbeat above or below 140?	Below - Boy
Ramzi theory?	Girl
Craving salty or sweet?	Salty - Boy
Chinese Birth Chart	Girl
First Trimester Morning Sickness?	Very little - Boy
Soft or dry Skin?	Dry - Boy
Ring on a string, pendulum or circles?	Pendulum - Girl
Heartburn?	Yes - Boy
Feet colder than they were pre-pregnancy?	No - Girl
Show me your hands, are you palms up or down?	Down - Boy
What side do you sleep on?	Left - Boy

And the tally: Girl - Four, Boy - Seven

So if the tales are correct than it looks like we can expect a boy come August! I'm not going out to buy any outfits for him (or her) just yet though. Hopefully the doctor will be able to tell at our next sonogram and we'll have something a little more trustworthy than old wives tales to help us decide on names and on any gender specific outfits.

Sunset and Stargazing

Matthew had a brilliant idea to watch the sunset and do some stargazing at Haleakala. It was very overcast when we left, but we were not going to be deterred. The clouds were not going to be an issue after all because we ended above them on the summit.

Once the sun set the telescope went to work.

We had fun stargazing but we decided the moon was too bright; we could see our shadows when we were walking around (plus side, we didn't need flashlights). Drats, guess we're going to have to go again.

I think this is my favorite picture.

awesomeness, Maui

Guest Post

I've done a guest post this week. Check out my post on The Road to Hana featured on my friend Marlee's blog, Met Married Moved.

I had a lot a fun writing this post. It's a bit different than my normal style, it's more of a travel /tip post than my 'hey, look what's going on in our life right now' post. Maybe I'll do some more of these travel posts in the future.
