Can you guess the sex?

Everything went well at the doctor visit yesterday. We've posted the ultrasounds below. It's really difficult to see a baby in any of them. They were really doing the scans to check for baby movement (which there was a lot of) and heartrates. On the scans, you can see the heartrates listed in the lower left as BPM.

With the first ultrasound, we were given the heartrates. They were 180, 180 and 167. Everyone tried to start telling us what the sexes were going to be - "It's 3 girls." Based on an old wives tale, you are supposed to be able to determine the sex by the heartrates. If the heartrate is over 140 bpm, it's a girl. Below that, it's a boy. According to articles we have found, this isn't true. But that doesn't matter. People will tell you they know and you can't tell them otherwise.

With the scans yesterday, the babies had heartrates of 153, 147 and 138. So now we have 2 girls and a boy? If they keep changing, we could have 3 boys by the time they are delivered.

Care to take a guess? Send us an email and let us know what you think.
