My Intelligender Results Are In!
There’s no fun in waiting… At least that’s how I see it. And while I’m pregnant I figure I might as well enjoy as much pregnancy stuff as I can cause you can’t go peeing in random chemicals for fun when you’re not pregnant now can you?
The mothers of Intelligender are so sweet to give me another opportunity to talk to you about their product! We tried it last year with my BFF, and it turned green for her = Boy! She also could tell at 13 WEEKS that it was a boy! My Godson was born about a month ago!
So now it’s my turn to try out Intelligender this fun gender prediction test.
You can take it as early as 10 weeks, so I figure taking it in my 15th week gives whatever is in my urine a chance to tell me if it’s a boy or girl. ALL of the tests I have taken so far have pretty much given me a boy result, so I was expecting this to turn green right away.
Watch below to see me take the test and reveal the results!
According to them their test is about 82% accurate so we’ll see… But honestly, I think it’s right! Haha. What do you think?
I’ll find out in about 4-5 weeks! I’ll let you know if they’re right or not when Spawnie gets here! Muahaha!
1. Be(come) a follower of my blog!
2. Leave a comment! Be commenter #625 (Spawnie’s due date) and WIN!
Spread the word so you can get to that number quicker, tweet about it! Facebook about it, tell your friends! No rules except to have fun! Good luck!!
Disclosure: I was given a test for the purpose of conducting the review. Thank you Intelligender for sponsoring this giveaway!
PS: This is a part of my Full Term of Giveaways. If you’re interested in sponsoring a pregnancy or fertility related review and giveaway please use the “contact” link above or email babymakingmachine{at}gmail.com. Stay tuned for tons of fun!
oh the suspense, the video is set to private so I can’t see it.
My sister took that test and it said girl. I’m interested to see if it’s right! It’s a fun idea!
This looks like fun! I’d love to do this when we finally get pregnant, lol. I’m also a follower 🙂
I follow.
So, can I leave unlimited comments to get you to 625?
That’s a really neat thing! Hey I have a question for you? have your nails always been that strong, or have the prenatal’s helped? And what’s your best suggestion for prenatal’s and where can I find them…the last ones I tried made me wicked sick! I can’t wait to see if Spawnie really is a boy!
That is so cool! I’d never heard about that….so a boy! How cool! We shall see.:)
I am soooo excited for you! I’ve always envisioned having a boy first … because it’s awesome to have an older brother in the family. That’s the way I see it. Can’t wait for you to find out for sure!!! 🙂
BOYS ARE JOYS! I was nervous at first when I found out I was having one ( what!? a pee-pee growing inside me!?) but oh myyyyyy gosh he is the BEST thing ever.
CONGRATS
I follow you.
I have a 15 month old boy and he is the best.
I follow:)
Boy oh boy….what a great vlog:)
Oh, good. I’d love to win this!
I would love to win. Choose me! I follow your blog.
emileenreynolds@yahoo.com
The Intelligender is really neat.
The Chinese Lunar Calendar was wrong on all 3 of my babies. I’m so hard to get along with.
I want to try this! I’m pregnant and I cannot wait to see who wins!!! good luck comment 625!!!
OMG! I want you to have a girl. Is that bad?!? I’m hoping that next June their are baby girl pictures on this blog!!!
I am a follower
I am excited to see if it is correct. I love your video!!
I hope to try this, we are about to try for our second baby.
come on comments!
Oh boys are so much fun! I couldn’t take intelligender because I was having twins…blah.
My birthday is 6/24 and my mom’s is 6/25!! I’m already a follower of your blog!
I’m a follower and I’m so excited! LOL
I’m so excited to see if it’s correct for you! I just scheduled my 20 week ultrasound today to find out what we’re having, so on Feb. 10th I’ll know which bedding to buy! This whole pregnancy thing is kinda fun hu? I’m just freaked out about the delivery, they never make it look like fun in movies.
So, how is everyone doing tonight?
By the way, my hubby’s birthday is the 23rd and my best friend’s is the 25th…so I hope you have him on one of those days!
A Boy! 🙂 I’m excited for you!
Oh my gosh! That is crazy! I’ve never heard of it, but I would TOTALLY try it. If I was pregnant right now, I would be on that site now purchasing myself one of those tests. I’m so impatient and want to know the gender the day I find out I’m pregnant 🙂
I’m a follower and have been watching your tweets as well!! come on comments I wanna win 🙂
I wanted to know so badly, so I asked them to check at every ultrasound…even the one at 12 weeks! They said “we think baby B is a boy” at 14 weeks, but they couldn’t confirm that baby A was a girl until 18 weeks.
I’m addicted to blogging, can somebody help me come out of it for few months? 🙂
Jenny is all your fault :), I really like reading your posts and you manage to entertain so much. The intellitext is very neat indeed. Good luck for little spawnie boy.:))!
Hey Future Mama, how can I create a review blog? I would love to try out things and give reviews and have giveaways…
I would LOVE to try this out for fun…just not $40 worth of fun! Good luck to #625!
I’m not pregnant, but I wanted to tell you that your video was as cute as a video with pee in it can be lol 🙂 I have been reading your blog for almost a year now, and I always had this theory of how your voice sounded from your pictures, and it’s even prettier than I imagined. Anyway, boys are the BEST! It’s what my Junebug was last year 🙂 I found out at 14 weeks that I was having a boy, so I never did this kind of thing. But the Chinese calendar was right for me! Anyway, good luck to whomever wins! And good luck to Future Mama too! 😉
I follow your blog and would love to win! I am about 13 weeks now so it would be fun to see if it is right.
Wow this is pretty funky!
I follow!
P.S. I would really love to be able to leave my comment with my name/URL instead of Google or OpenID but your comment form doesn’t allow it. 🙁
So are you and hubby not telling ANYONE the gender of your baby or are you just not telling us Internetz?
Thanks for showing us the Intelligender! 🙂
Right, so I’m going to talk to myself here for the rest of the night and get up to 625, ok?
ok let’s get to postin’…
Biggest Loser is starting in 5 mins!!! I couldn’t be more excited.
I totally love this! I am hoping to be pregnant next month…and be wanting this shortly after…I have been following your blog for awhile, but now it is “official”!
Good luck getting pregnant, Ali!
Great Video!
I just got home from work – I was going to comment some on here, but I am tired now. 😀
My birthday is in June to…but it is on the 12th.
I know a bunch of people born June 12th…dated two of them lol
Biggest Loser is over, now I’m watching Days of our Lives that I taped earlier.
Having trouble with my cell…stupid phone.
I would love to do this when we decide to have kids just for fun! I can’t believe it costs $39.95! It would be awesome to save for later. Does it have an expiration date?
Still watching Days…my sister called and I talked to her for a bit.
I was curious about that myself…
Man, it’s getting late…
How about I sing a song to anyone listening?>
Biggest Loser was pretty good tonight…I can’t wait for next week’s episode!
DOOL is supposed to be getting exciting this week…I sure hope so.
I have a sweet au pair.
Au pairs are the cheapest form of childcare.
And they’re the most flexible, too.
I’m feeling lazy tonight.
Would you like me to teach you some Hebrew words?
first of all, Hebrew is read left to right.
שלום (shalom) means hello
now let’s count to 10
אחד (echad) is one
by the way, “ch” sounds like in Bach, not as in church
שתים (shtayim) means two
שלוש (shalosh) means three
ארבע (arba) means four
חמש (chamesh) means five
שיש (shaysh) means six
שבע (sheva) means seven
שמונה (shmoneh) means eight
תשע (teysha) means nine
עשר (asar) means ten!
sorry, that’s “eser” not “asar”
geepers, we’re not even at 100!! This is going to take me all night…
I’m so glad the twins are sleeping.
They are doing so much better with solid foods!
I highly recommend baby-led weaning…highly
They will eat basically anything and everything.
And my son is starting to say mama!
My daughter just kinda babbles.
Anyway, the twins are drinking less formula because they’re eating enough real food!
It’s so much less expensive.
Go get the book about baby-led weaning so you can use it on your baby!
I’m so glad my hubby shaved and gave himself a haircut.
Except he doesn’t do as good a job as the professionals.
But it’s less expensive!
Ok, more words. אמא (ima) means mom/mother.
אבא (aba) means dad/father.
סבא (saba) means grandpa/grandfather
enjoying reading your blog.

Uh oh, my daughter is awake and grumpy…
I don’t know if there’s a Hebrew word for “blog”…probably.
I need to go to sleep…
Oh my poor sweetie…
I’m addicted to facebook.
I’m a follower!
Well, I just had to feed the twins…
It’s cold in my house.
Conan O’Brien is funny.
Man, I really need to go to sleep.
Good night all…I’ll check back in the morning!
Jen you are so stinkin’ cute!
love this one!
I enjoyed watching your MomTV show for the first time yesterday! It was fun!!!
Happy Wednesday!!
I am a follower 🙂
I took the Intelligender test and it said BOY for me! That’s correct 🙂
But, I figure they only have a 50-50 chance to be wrong or right! Haha.
Stopping by from SITS! I love your blog and this post is really cute! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy 🙂 xo, KA
Only at 116?? Well, we have to pick up the pace now.
Love the video! Can’t wait to see what the gender really is!
Oh for fun!! I’ve never seen anything like this before, it’s really neat!
Are you really not going to tell us in 5 weeks when you find out??? No fair!
I’m calling JetBlue…I hate flying…
625 is going to take forever!
But I guess that’s how you must feel?
I hate it when a customer service agent tells me something and when I call back later another agent tells me something different…
Mine’s still the last comment? I’m going to keep commenting and get us all the way there.

methink Elana Kahn wants this giveaway! You go girl!
Ω∂∂©√¥†ƒ†∂´∑ß´√∫˚¨- thats my fancy talk LOL!
I’m sure you’ve heard this 100 times. I used this test at 12 weeks and got the same result as you. As you know, I have a beautiful baby GIRL.
Here is what I have learned from this test from my research and talking to other people who have taken it. Most results that say Girl are correct. False positives occur when the test has “boy” results. This is because of the amount of testosterone you might have in your body, which is why it says to not have sex the day before you you take the test. The more testosterone the darker the color.
Most people who get the false results are boy results and people end up having girls.
I still think your having a girl.
The place that I got this test from (the local independent 3D ultra sound place) stopped selling these because so many of their customers were getting incorrect results.
I would suggest to anyone to save their money and wait a month or so for the u/s. But hey, if it’s a freebie, your not going to lose anything.
Gotta take a break and bathe the twins…be back later!
LOL @ Zandi 🙂
Since I have PCOS, the test would probably come up boy regardless, but it would be fun to take it anyway! (That is when I get pregnant again…)
Still so many to go…well at least we’re almost 1/3 of the way there!
Ok, more Hebrew words..
מי (mi) means who
מה (mah) means what
אֵיפֹה (ayfoh) means where
מתי (matai) means when
לָמָה (lamah) means why
איך (aich) means how
אני (anee) means I
אתה (ata) means you (to a boy)
את (aht) means you (to a girl)
הוא (hoo) means he
היא (hee) means she
אנחנו (anachnu) means we
i wanna win!
i am a follower!!!!
Ghost Hunters creeps me out but I keep watching it.
My husband and I keep watching Jersey Shore too.
That is why I didn’t want to get cable – too many shows to watch and I shouldn’t be watching them anyway.
My legs feel like jello.
I have been doing cross fit for 2-3 months.
I just moved up from rookie level to the OH level.
Tomorrow is supposed to be really cold here in Dallas.
Tomorrow is also my sons 12 month check up.
I’m excited to see how much he weighs.
There are so many good giveaways going on and so little time to enter them all.
Well its supposed to snow here tomorrow. I guess I better stock up on Milk and Bread.
My son has his 15th month check up on the 19th.
הם (haym) means they (to males)
הן (hayn) means they (to females)
Hi Brandi! How are you?
The holidays were great but I am glad they are over.
I am also glad my son’s party is over.
We had a blast… but it was hectic having three holiday’s and a birthday all at the same time!
I can’t think of anything else to say.
I don’t think it is suppose to snow – just been in the teens but windchill in the single digits.
That is cold for Dallas.
Oh I just heard someone say that it is going to rain before the cold front.
That means icy roads and a bunch of people who don’t know how to drive on ice.
Hi Brie!
My daughter says “babababa”
She can also make kissy sounds and a fish face.
My son says “mamamama”

I follow! SO exciting! Looking forward to your u/s to see what that says… =)
My SIL will find out next week, so this wouldn’t be here in time for her. BUT we are hoping to be preg any time now, so I’d def save it for myself!
שׂ sin sounds like “s”
תּ tav sounds like “t”
ת this is also a tav, but some people call it a “sav” and pronounce it like “s”…Israelis call it a tav and pronounce it like “t”
Well, that’s the whole alphabet for you! Or Alef Bet
i just had a chance to watch your video above! boys are so sweet!
this would be such a fun test to do when i finally get pregnant!!!
it looks elana really wants to win this! maybe she will!
That’s if I keep this up 🙂

HAPPY HUMPDAY! and we are past the half way to 625 mark!!
Elana hasn’t won this yet??? Come on Elana, I’m pulling for you!
Good morning all!
It’s snowing.
Today is the National Championship game.. Roll Tide Roll.
So, is today the day we get to 625??
Could be if we all stay and comment it up!
I skinned my knee yesterday.
Doing burpees during crossfit.
It hurts like crazy!
I was doctoring it up with some tweezers that I dipped in alcohol.
The alcohol wasn’t quite dry and it burned.
So today was my son’s 12 month checkup.
He weighs 24 lbs and 1 oz
He is 30.5 inches
He had to have 6 shots.
He was a trooper!
He also got a ton of presents for his birthday.
Most of them were from my in-laws
I am at work and I have to activate 20 cell phones right now.
So every time I am waiting for one to power on I make a comment.
And then I can make two while they are activating.
It’s funny too, because these phones were shipped out of Philidelphia.
And I am in Dallas – the person that boxed these phones must also be from Dallas.
Because in the middle of all the phones was this piece of cardboard.
That said How bout Dem Cowboys! Dallas Fan in Philly holding it down!
And yes Dallas won against Philly!
Of course this box has been sitting here unopened since before the game, but I just found it since I just opened it.
Anyway I thought that was funny and it made my day.
Woo hoo Cowboys!
I really hope that they win this playoff game on Saturday.
Mostly so my husband will be happy.
This looks interesting! I would have liked to have this when my little guy didn’t want to “face the camera” in my only ultrasound.
LOL @ sunny
I want to think of a good way to get us to 400…
My son wants to be held…always.
I need to go grocery shopping.
I can’t find a receipt I need to return something.
I’m going to bake bread either today or tomorrow.
My little sweeties are growing up so fast!
I think I’m also going to make mandel bread
I’m wondering if I can substitute the sugar in the recipe for splenda.
I’m also wondering if I can substitute the oil for apple puree…
And the eggs for egg beaters… lol
I want to make healthy mandel bread…with chocolate chips! 🙂
The twins are eating yogurt. Mmmm
Ahhh the joys of new health insurance…
Chana’s spoon went flying!
Now on the phone with the doc’s office.
Don’t you love being on hold?
I know I sure do…not!
As soon as the twins finish eating, we need to go grocery shopping.
Thank G-d for my new au pair…she is an angel.
And she’s Israeli, so she speaks Hebrew. 🙂
Being transferred…I’ll probably get a voicemail. 🙁
Yep…voicemail. boooo
Man I really hope he calls me back today.
Left a message…urgh. If I don’t get that prescription called in today I’m going to freak out.
Chana spilled her water all over the floor. Oops!
Yay 400!!!
Only 225 more posts to go…can we do it today? Or will it be tomorrow?
And look, we’re on a new page, too!
So how are you feeling, Future Mama??
Baby kicks? Baby hiccups?
Ahhh, miss being pregnant…
But next time, I’ll just be pregnant with one.
That will be SOOOO easy!
Heheh Dovid looks like he’s falling asleep in his yogurt.
I asked my hubby last night when he wants to start trying for #3.
He said “well we’re not preventing…so whenever it happens”
Then I clarified…I meant when would he want to start fertility treatments, if ever.
Then he said he’d have to think about it.
Then I laughed and said that his job was the easy one…and it didn’t matter whether it was IVF, IUI or Clomid to him!
And he said that he knows how hard it is for me, which is why he wants to think about it.
What a sweetie, isn’t he?
I don’t even know myself, to be honest.
Although I reminded him that pregnancy does take 9 months…
So whenever I get pregnant, the twins will be 9 months older when I deliver.
In some ways it’ll be easier and in some more difficult.
I think it’s called the “terrible twos” for a reason…
And if I were to get pregnant now, for instance, they’d be about 1 1/2 when the baby would be born.
Just in time for the “terrible twos” to take place…times two!
Maybe we should wait until they’re two to start any treatments…
Try on our own for a year, and if it doesn’t happen then jump right in.
That way, the twins will be almost three before any baby would be born…
And they’ll be able to walk and talk and stuff…
And hopefully not be too terrible. 🙂
Or is that two terrible?? hehe
Now they’re having bottles to top off…
Ahhh growing babies…so delicious
I’m going to make salmon for tomorrow’s dinner.
I hope that Market Basket sells kosher salmon…
If not, I may need to make a special trip to Costco to buy some.
I don’t think I have any in the fridge…
I meant the freezer…but maybe I should check just in case.
Ohh my mom’s calling me…I wonder what she wants.
Ahhh she’s in Florida. Ohhh how exciting, she’s at her best friend’s house visiting!
Gee it’s getting dark, I’d better turn on the electric light.
Dovid has yogurt on his ears. So silly!
It’s so nice outside today…not snowing!
It wasn’t even snowing when my mom left on her airplane to go to FL.
Apparently Rochester gets rush hour traffic at 6 in the morning.
My mom just figured it out…lol She never gets up that early ever!
Yay Future Mama thinks I’m funny!! 🙂
I think I’m funny too…and so does my hubby.
I love Monty Python…they’re VERY funny.
I also love Harry Potter.
And Lord of the Rings, too. Frodo is hot and Samwise is too.
The guy that played Sam in the movie looks just like one of my exes.
Very, very cute. 🙂 Hey look, I got to 450!
My goodness I’m running out of things to say…would you like to see my grocery list?
In the dairy section I need eggs and egg beaters…
I also need skim milk…no whole milk for me!
I need lots of apples for an apple salad as well as apples just to eat.
I need regular raisins and golden raisins.
I also need craisins and dates.
Being pregnant I have to pee all the time!
I need bananas, and maybe some figs.
I also need pears and peaches.
And grape tomatoes are yummy as a snack!
I need big portabella mushrooms to grill.
I also need sweet potatoes and celery…
I need avocados to make sandwiches for the twins.
I need onions, but I don’t need green beans…
I also need bag salad and cucumbers.
In the grocery section, I need salmon fillets.
I need some regular vinegar and balsamic vinegar.
I also need olive oil and vanilla extract.
I’m going to need chocolate chips for my mandel bread.
I also need dry yeast and baking powder.
My hubby needs cereal and low sodium crackers.
I need to get more pasta sauce…maybe they’ll have some with mushrooms in it.
I need more tissues…achoo!
And last but not least, I need some more veggie wash.
Still not quite at 500, though…
What do you need from the grocery store?
Can I get you anything?
Do you need toilet paper or paper towels?
Oh, I need to get batteries and gloves, but those will come from CVS.
Ziva is now changing the twins so we can go shopping!
I don’t need any more garlic, because I have two heads already.

It’s for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies…mmmmm
2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
10 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
8 1/2 oz bag mini peanut butter cups (or more)
Don’t forget…PREHEAT OVEN TO 350°!! 🙂
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until smooth.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
On low speed, add the melted chocolate and dry ingredients.
Stir in the chopped peanut butter cups.
Cover the mixing bowl and let stand (at room temperature) for 30-45 minutes so the chocolate will set up.
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into a ball using a rounded tablespoon of dough.
Place the dough on the sheet pan 2-inches apart.
Bake the cookies 10-11 minutes.
The cookies will be very soft in the middle but will set up when cooled.
If you bake them 12 minutes or longer, they will be hard the next day.
Cool the cookies on the sheet pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cooling rack.
I got this from the Make Ahead Meals blog, so here’s her make ahead tip!
Shape the dough into balls.
Place them on a sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap.
Place the sheet pan in the freezer for 2 – 3 hours.
Fill a labeled freezer bag with the frozen dough.
Remove as much air as possible and seal tightly.
Write the baking directions on the bag.
Freeze up to 2 months.
When you’re ready to make the cookies, place the dough on lined cookie sheets and thaw at room temperature for 45 – 60 minutes.
Bake as directed.
