Jessica had read somewhere about a study that had been done at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. According to that study, the only thing that had some correlation between the sex of the baby and the mother was ... not the shape of the belly
(and we have already seen our share of bellyfeelers), not how a ring hovers over the belly
(like I read in some book when I was a kid) and not the frequency of the baby's kicking
(naturally, girls can and do kick a lot as well).
Accordng to the study, the only thing that seemed to predict the sex was morning sickness. The women who got bad cases of nausea in the mornings, were more likely to have a girl and the ones that felt OK, seemed to have more boys than "normally."
And since Jessica has been in great shape all along, we have to pull out the list of boys' names. This is what it looks like right now (in no particular order):
Emil
Hannes
Oliver
Risto Jr (not!)
Lukas
I need to think about this a bit more. And I need to pay attention to how Jessica feels tomorrow morning.
