It's a boy!

Not to contradict my brilliant husband, but careful research conducted by a team of 6th and 7th graders have conclusively determined that I am, indeed, pregnant with a little boy. After repeated quantitative studies using the "pull your shirt tight, Miss" methodology, my 8th period class concluded that the form of my belly was indicative of a male human fetus. "It's a boy!" declared Laura R after 30 seconds of careful study. "Look at how it's big from top to bottom and not side to side. If it was big from side to side, then it would be a girl. It is Definitely a boy. I am 100% sure."

The only dissenting voice among the researchers was Marya L, the youngest member of the team. "Miss, I thought you were just getting fat!" was how she described her earliest findings. After I was able to convince the young researcher that my sudden growth was indeed related to gestational growth and not just my love for ice cream, she acquiesced to the judgment of her team. By the end of the 5 minute debrief, consensus was reached.

Although the full study cannot be published until this November's issue of Science magazine, we have included a sample datum for your interpretation (and our absolute silly amusement).
