My friend and colleague, Molly Remer, over at Talk Birth, has been giving me a book here and there to review. It’s a great way for me to earn an extra book for my lending library, buff up on my reading, and get a little practice writing. Lucky for me, the last item she asked me to review was an Intelligender Gender Prediction Kit. How fun is that?
My husband and I don’t want to find out the gender of our baby before the birth, but taking a test that may or may not be accurate sounds like fun, right?! I think this is especially so when considering the $34.95 pricetag, just for a “fun pregnancy experience”. If I were going to do that, I would simply rely on the old-fashioned free tests involving rings or pencils. However, I could hardly be expected to pass up an opportunity to try one out for free. (I am a sucker for freebies!)

Unfortunately, we have to wait three or four months longer to find out whether the test result, BOY, was right! 🙂
Midwives, Doulas, Home Birth, OH MY! 
Is it weird that I got all geeked for you when I read the words “my husband?” I think you and Mike are good sports for doing this . . .I wondered about that test when I saw it in stores when I was pregnant!
Nah, I still get all giddy about that. 😉 It’s nice to have something to call him. Before we got married, “boyfriend” just sounded so juvenile and “fiance” was just blech, so he often was referred to as my partner. I like husband better!
Oh, side note, the ring/pin test was always “boy” for me, while the ultrasound, we were told, was 90% girl. Hmmm. . . I think maybe the ultrasound and the box test might be more similar than most people like to think!
