I dredged the bottoms of the Google Search barrel to find any last theories I could to determine the sex of Chubby through Old Wive's Tales and I found a pretty varied list to share with you all.
The two biggest "scientific" ones are The Ramzi Theory and The Skull Theory. I will also reveal our Genital Tubercle Angle. They are ALL OVER gender prediction forums with ultrasound pictures and commentators evaluating what they think. Any photos of Chubby have all received 50/50 guesses, so it remains up in the air just as much as ever.

| Boy: 6 Girl: 14 |
In a nutshell, Ramzi theorized that a genetic difference between males and females causes the placenta to form either to the left or right(rt= boy, lt=girl) and that you can see this on ultrasound in a transverse scan as early as 6 weeks by finding the Chorionic Villi using color doppler. You have to know on the picture what true right and left are though because often ultrasound images are mirrored.
NO IDEA. Any takers? It doesn't seem like you can tell left/right, just front/back. It was an abdominal ultrasound - no idea if it's "corrected" right/left or mirror image. The baby is obviously down on the bottom at what looks like the top and posterior of my uterus (but I was told at 13 weeks I had an anterior placenta). The other hollow black spot on the second picture is my bladder for some perspective.
Male and Female Cranium Differences:
Most important skull differences between men and women are indicated by the letter value on the figure to the left and described below:
A) The mans cranial mass is more blocky and massive compared to the females which is rounder and tapers at the top. (UNLESS you're Joe's head or my head....!)
B) Temporal Ridge – runs along the outer side of the upper skull creating the square shaped of the upper head. More prominent in men than women.
C) A woman’s supraorbital margin (the ridge above the eyes) is sharper, while the males is rather round and dull.
D) The Zygomatic bone (the cheekbone that lies under the lower eye ridge) is more pronounced on the male skull.
E) The Mandible (lower jaw) bone of a woman is rounded, while the male’s is squared.
F) Frontal bone – forehead structure terminates at the brow. The male forehead is lower and more slopping.
G) Men have a deeper cranial mass.
H) The supercilary arch is large and pronounced in the man.
I) A males gonion (most posterior inferior point on angle of mandible) is more flared out and sharply angled.
J) The teeth of men tend to be larger.
Again, WHAT? My guess by ALL the pictures is BOY. The forehead maybe says girl, but I don't think so because I think Lincoln has that same forehead...
Remember Genital Tubercle Angle?
I'll tell you about it now. This is the ONLY thing that MIGHT say that Chubby could POSSIBLY be a girl. BUT, it's not clear. Not like other images are clear. There's maybe a hint of the tubercle on the these photos, but even the online forum experts say it's only a 50/50 guess leaning towards girl. But here's your look:
Here are the lists from the other two rounds:
 |
| Boy: 9 Girl: 9 |
 |
| Boy: 5 Girl: 8 |
So, 53 Gender Predicting Anythings in total. Only 2 that are unknown/do not apply to me.
TOTAL BOY: 20
TOTAL GIRL: 31
I'm honestly surprised how this last round skewed way towards girl. However, the popular opinion poll was DRAMATICALLY towards boy. I guess now all we can do is wait and see!!
My sources are all over the internet. Google Search "Gender Prediction" and you'll get it all. Most of my stuff comes from BabyCenter, In-Gender, Intelligender, Pregnancy, Parenting, Huggies, and many other dot coms etc. Even within these websites some of the old wive's tales contradict each other. Whatever, it's just for fun.
