Steve Erwin's Baby Gender Theory.

A few years ago, prior to becoming one of the deceased, Steve Erwin [Crocodile Dundee] made an appearance on Jay Leno about the birth of his second child... A few months ago, while I was pregnant and read everything about pregnancy online, I read an article on BabyCenter about how attractive, or "beautiful", girls are all having girls, and there was speculation about whether pretty women were more likely to make girls than boys. As we all know, it's the man's sperm that decides the sex of the baby, not to mention that I've seen tons of ugly women with a lot of little girls. [No offense to anyone, really.] So, remembering Steve Erwin's theory, I commented on the article my response. Now, I can't seem to find the article, no matter how hard I look for it, but I personally believe in this Dundee's baby making theory. Want the details? Here we go...

Baby Girl:: To have a girl, the time of conception would be fast-paced, hurried. In my own amateur words: "Get on me NOW!" or "OMG, I want you so bad!"

Baby Boy:: To have a boy, the time of conception would be slow and sensual. Again, own words: "Making love."

This explains two things to me. The theory on pretty women conceiving girls, and the making of my son. Let's start with the girls... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? So someone who is beautiful to you is not necessarily beautiful to me. Penelope Cruz sometimes look like a duck to me, but she's probably gorgeous to you. Johnny Depp is one of the most gorgeous men alive, but depending on what generation you're from it could be Chad Michael Murray, Sterling Knight, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, etc. You see? So someone we, as society, may find completely hideous may be the most gorgeous person to someone else, therefore putting them mostly in the first situation when it comes to sex. That or the man has been in desperate need of sex recently and just got so excited that he was finally getting some, he was put in the first baby scenario.

Now, the conception of my son. My husband [then, merely my boyfriend/kinda-fiance-without-the-ring] and I had just gotten in a huge fight, spent a whole weekend and a few days apart, "broken up", to think about things and what we both really wanted out of our lives. In the end, we both decided we needed each other, because the break-up was heartwrenching for the both of us, and neither could really deal with it. So when we finally got to see each other, after talking, crying, laughing, smiling... we topped off the make-up with "love-making" [I had to say it that way, because of the baby boy theory above]. It was slow and sensual and beautiful, and we [actually, just me] cried, and he was so cautious. Afterwards we were talking about our thoughts during and we both found out that the other was wishing that we had made a baby, because it was something that would complete our lives, and something we knew God would give us if we were meant to be together. Needless to say, 24 weeks later when I found out that we were expecting a baby boy my beliefs in Steve Erwin's theories were confirmed.

Now, you may be even more doubtful, but don't worry. I will fix this! In about 20 more weeks [after we double check to make sure the at-home tests weren't crap] we'll find out just exactly how right Steve Erwin is when we find the sex of our NEW bundle of joy. We're expecting a girl, because my husband no longer gets sex all the time, and he's always anxious to get to it. So... if it's another boy, then Steve Erwin was wrong... and we'll need to find another way to make the babies we want, the cheap way...

Until then...
