My mood while writing this blog: Thrilled

Journey of my son

Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be sunny. Your baby will arrive in the evening.

After a labor lasting approximately 18 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 19-1/2 inches long. This child will have light blue eyes and some blond hair.
