Hi all! I was searching for a good podcast to listen to today while working, and found this super fun story on This American Life about a grandma who predicted the sex of all her grandkids by sending the mom-to-be a little pair of pants (boy) or a tiny dress (girl). She got NINETEEN of the kids' genders right, including boy-girl twins! Anyway, I thought you all might enjoy: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/475/send-a-message/act-one

I also have a semi-similar story. The Christmas before we conceived our first born, my mother-in-law gave us a little blue sweater. That same Christmas, she gave my sister-in-law a little tiny dress. Sure enough--I got pregnant in February with a boy, and my sister-in-law got pregnant in June with a girl. Since my husband is the oldest of 11, we'll have plenty of opportunity to see if she's able to predict any more pregnancies! :)

Anyone else have fun wives tales stories like this to share?
