Baby VooDoo...

Have any of you heard of this... the hang a ring on a string over the belly button and it will either sway back in forth or circle?  Ok, Matt tells me this is voodoo and I'm going to hell for it so I did publicaly repent and ask Jesus into my heart again last night after performed baby voodoo on two of my best friends Summer and Sandy.  Ok, so we know Summer is having a girl so we start with her as our controlled variable because we are trying to be very scientific about this for accuracy and all.  After a few seconds, it begins to slowly move back and forth like a pendulum.  Matt is convinced I was moving my hand, but I assure you I was not.  Then, Sandy's turn (who does not know the sex of her baby and didn't want to... that was until now that my baby voodoo spoiled it:)  She lays down... I hold steady the ring on the string... for a few seconds...  nothing!  Then, suddenly...  it started to move in circles!  I freak out! Matt again thinks I'm moving my hand so Lori gives it a try... circles again only bigger!  So now the wait it on, I won't know if my baby voodoo is accurate until the first week in July, but I'll let you know!  Again, I'm not going to hell over this... I hope!

Yeah, someone did this to me and it freaked me out like your husband... It is kinda weird though. It turned out true.

i had someone do this to me when i was pregnant with leia & i instantly felt like we shouldn't have done it as soon as we were done (after a little guilt trip from derek). anyways, it said we were having a boy, so for me it was wrong.
i didn't even know summer is pregnant...that's exciting! when is she due?

No way, you're not going to hell. It's more a cultural thing than voodoo. At least that's what I told myself when my mom and grandma did this w/me. And it was right both times! And we didn't use a ring. We used a needle. Hmmm...

Hey Tammy, Nick and I found out we are having twims. They think one is a boy and the other a girl, but not for sure yet. I wonder what your string would do with that!!!
