Ok, so I thought it would be fun to play a little this game based on 20 old wives tales for Baby LeMaster’s gender prediction! I’ve loved this journey of not knowing. I know it can make planning a little more difficult but it’s way more fun to guess! At the end of the post, you’ll find a download old wives tales sheet and a video of my husband’s predictions.
Before I get into it, I have to tell you about the CUTEST baby clothing collection! Gap’s baby bear collection is so incredibly adorable. When I saw this come cross as an Instagram ad, I purchased immediately!! The items just arrived and they are even cuter in person. I just know these items will make me cry when my baby grows out of them. I cannot wait to see baby LeMaster in that teddy bear demin hat.
Currently, Gap has a 40 to 60% of sale off of everything!! Run, do not walk, to get these in your cart…
