I’m not into palm reading, tarot cards or other psychic readings.  I’m not sure if I don’t believe in them or if I’m in the camp of just letting things happen as they should.  I have had my palm read once many, many years ago and there was nothing out of that reading I didn’t know.  Given, my experience, it never occurred to me that I could predict my baby(ies). 

 

A few weeks ago a friend asked if I wanted to try a non-scientific baby predictor.  With so many emotions and thoughts swirling around the idea of pregnancy and motherhood – how could I not be curious.  Perhaps, it would be easier knowing what was going to happen.  I agreed.  Here’s what she did: she took my engagement ring, removed a silver necklace she was wearing and put the ring through the necklace.  Hmmm?  Here’s what she tells me: she’s going to hold the necklace and let the ring hang, if the ring moves forward and back it’s a girl; if the ring moves in a circle it’s a boy; and if the ring does not move then there will be no children. 

 

I prayed the ring would move – it not moving was not an option for me.  Good news, the ring moved twice.  I won’t share the sexes but it was exciting.  My friend told me she did this with a few other girlfriends and the results were conclusive.  Was part of that a subconscious movement because she knew a girlfriend had already had two boys?  I don’t know but what I do know is I want to believe.
