Princess Portia's Crystal Ball -- Weeks 5 and 6

For those of you who don't know, Portia is our furbaby and as the blog title indicates, she'll be the big sis. For the sake of fun, we have decided that each week we're going to let her gaze into her crystal ball and tell us her prediction of the baby's gender.

We first asked her the day we found out. Aaron told her to lay down if she thinks it is a boy or to stand up and dance if she thinks it is a girl. Of course she just looked at him like he was crazy at first, but then she noticed something delectable on the counter and stood up to check it out -- thus week 5 Portia said GIRL.

Then last week, we were hanging out watching TV and Aaron asked her to get up and bark if she thinks it is a boy or to stay cuddled up if she thinks it is a girl. Of course that seems like a loaded question because who would choose anything but staying cuddled up. But, Aaron then yelled, "What was that!?" which is a sure-fire way to get Portia up and to hear a bark (which are otherwise uncommon). But, for once she didn't jump up and she just snuggled in deeper -- so for week 6 Portia stuck to the GIRL prediction.

For those of you wondering what Aaron and I are predicting, he thinks boy and for the most part I've thought boy, too, except that I keep catching myself saying things like "when she gets here" or "I wonder what she'll be like?" So, I really don't have a strong feeling either way at this point.
