Old Wives Tale #1: Heart Rate
If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. First time we heard the babies heartbeat it was at 149bpm and then the second time it was in the 150's

Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of Belly
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy. I think it is a bit early to judge this one although I feel like the baby is always sitting really low in my pelvis and its pretty small at the moment.

Old Wives Tale #7: Legs
If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl.

So as far as I know I'm only gaining in the torso, legs seem to be the same
