This week we incorporated Portia's crystal ball gazing with her birthday gift. I held the same treat in each hand and said if she went for the left one her guess is girl, right - boy. Of course she went right to the left one. She sniffed it, then sniffed the right one, then ate the left one. So once again it is GIRL!
Further backing Portia's clairvoyant skills is our chiropractor Dr. DeCanio. For those of you that don't know, I suffer from a pain disorder called Fibromyalgia. I visit Dr. D on a regular basis for adjustments and acupressure. He's different from your average chiropractor because he does holistic treatment and energy healing. Since starting to use him as my doctor, I have had an amazing difference in my pain. Well as part of his treatment he told me that he can also predict the baby's gender. Always the skeptic, I asked what his correctness percentage is. He said 100%! As you have probably guessed, his prediction is also GIRL! I'm not going out yet and buying everything pink, but for now I think that I'm going to go along with Portia and the Dr. :) He did a test to see if it was twins, too, but said he couldn't tell yet...
On a side note, Dr. DeCanio also did some treatments for my morning sickness. I felt so much better when I left the office! Granted now that it has been a few hours, I'm starting to feel nauseous again, but it was nice while it lasted. He also suggested that I buy sea bands. If you don't know what they are, they are these bands that you wear to combat nausea, a lot of times people use them for seasickness. I guess they're a big hit for morning sickness, too. They remind me of my grandpa, who I can remember telling me about using them when he went deep sea fishing! I bought a pair on my way home and am excited to give them a try.
