Intuition Game Results: Boy or Girl?
Thanks, everyone, for playing the intuition game last week! The survey results came in pretty much split right down the middle, fifty-fifty. If you didn’t hit the nail on the head, no worries. Keep playing with your intuition and practicing tuning into your soul. It’s definitely not a science, but you can become more and more of an intuition artist as you play-practice.
Why practice at all?
Because it’s so much fun and so amazing to hear your intuitive inner wisdom. And it’s even more fun to hear it loud and clear. The more you practice (playfully!), the louder your intuitive voice speaks to you. It makes daily decisions much simpler and the path to your right life much more efficient. Whether you want to re-align with your body and feel healthy and comfortable in your own skin or you long to have a successful and fulfilling coaching practice, your intuitive voice is the ultimate guide. Your soul steers you perfectly. All you have to do is tune in!
On my birthday in December, 2010, I did a meditation and tuned in to my soul. It told me it was time to start down the path to motherhood. Prior to that, I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to be a mom. After that, I knew I was meant to be one. A little soul wanted to come hang out with my husband and me. Even though it sounded terrifying and exciting and life-changing and mind-blowing all at once, I knew it was the right next step.
Now I’m going to write something I had no idea I’d write today. I’m going to tell you the whole story that led up to this moment, today, where I’m having fun announcing if baby is a boy or girl. (I’ll tell you, I promise!)
When I miscarried last year, it was too early to know whether or not we were having a boy or a girl. However, from going through the experience, I felt that it was twins, and my doctor thought that was probably the case. I knew it was a boy and a girl. After the miscarriage, whenever I meditated and tuned in to my soul, I felt like I was also in touch with the little girl’s soul. She began to send me loving messages every time I connected to my own soul.
She told me that she wanted to be with me, to be my child, but that the first attempt wasn’t quite right – there were reasons we had to wait and start over again. Some were physical, some were spiritual, and some were emotional – I had things I needed to work through. She told me I would grow and learn and be ready soon. She said she and her brother were just fine, even though they didn’t finish their journey to be here in little baby bodies. I could feel the truth of this. Even as I grieved, even as I felt the loss of what was to be, I could feel that they were truly okay.
The baby girl soul told me she was coming back. She’d even already told us what her name was, but asked us to keep it to ourselves until she was born.
After this, I felt really excited to get pregnant again. Yet, my soul kept telling me to wait. I had healing to do, on every single level possible. So, though I was impatient and sometimes argumentative, I listened to that intuitive voice and waited.
I’m not really good at waiting. It was hard. Then, one night I had a dream. In the dream, I was far along in a pregnancy, and really happy. The dream was so vivid that it stuck with me for days. You see, in the past, I’d had a recurring dream that I was pregnant. In that recurring dream, I’d be very excited, but then I’d go stand in front of the mirror only to discover that I didn’t look pregnant anymore, and there was no baby. Three days before my miscarriage, I was standing in front of the mirror in my bathroom, and I noticed something looked different, as though I wasn’t pregnant anymore. It was the moment from the dream, happening in real life. (I’ve always had eerily accurate dreams like this, about myself and other people.)
To finally dream about being happily pregnant, for the first time in my life, felt like a deeply joyous message. I took it as a good sign. I thanked my soul.
Then, finally, the waiting was over. It was time to embark on the journey again. Exactly one year after my birthday meditation, I got the news – I was pregnant. It was the perfect birthday present.
Over the next two months, I had six dreams. In the first five, I was holding a little baby girl. I could see every feature of her face. In the dreams, I kissed her face and told her how adorable she was. I nursed her and snuggled with her. It was as though she was already here, in my arms. In the sixth dream, she was a little girl, laughing and playing. She seemed so absolutely real that I could hardly imagine anyone else but her inside my womb.
So I have to say, when the doctor looked at the ultrasound screen, smiled and said, “It’s a girl!” I wasn’t exactly surprised. Filled with joy? Yes. Deliriously happy? Yes. Filled with love? Yes.
I can’t wait to hold you in my arms, little baby girl!

YAY!!!! how exciting! You are truely inspiring me every day! And every time I read your blog or go to your website and think about Adding Mind Body Coaching to my dietetic practice it brings joy, light, and love to my heart and soul!!! and FYI my intuition served me
She will be beautiful inside and out! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Wonderful news! I loved reading about your journey toward motherhood! Love.
Oooh got it right! Congratulations. That’s how I figured it out too. I imagined you holding her, a boy didn’t work. Hugs and enjoy your pregnancy.
Congratulations Scott and Abigail. I’m sure you’ll be wonderful parents to this baby girl.
I am so moved by this. As I was sitting with your post from last week, and also imagining you holding your baby, all I could see was a girl. I tried out the image of a boy, but couldn’t get a mental picture. I love the way you talk about the little souls, this feels so true to me, the line between the physical and spiritual worlds is blurring more for me every day. Thank you for your part in that. Sending all three of you love and light. xo Rose
So happy for you Abigail!
much love,
Linda Ford
Beautiful!!
Well I wasn’t sure that i was truly tapping into my intuition about this but all i came up with was a baby girl. Actually that was all i could really envision for you and Scott as your first child. So i guess it worked on some level. Congrats. Thanks for letting us share in the intuition of it all…
Thats a beautiful story Abigail. I have a similar story and am currently 6 months pregnant. Have you read Spirit Babies by Walter Makichen. Some amazing stories and exercises.
I hate to say “I told you so”, so I won’t. I’ll say CONGRATULATIONS instead! If you need any advice raising girls, I have four who make me feel incredibly lucky every single day! Some days, I feel like my ears are bleeding from all the word-full-ness, but it’s all good:)
I could not remember if you mentioned a girl at the equus training, but I have been taking
for granted that it was a girl. Congratulations … good soul messages. So excited to learn her name after she arrives!! What a inspiring story, and thank you for sharing your joy.
My intuitive feelings were right and I also know for sure is you are already an awsome mother and she is one smart cookie and blessed to have chose you both for her guiding lights! And she will have professional and personal photographer. Looking forward to the pics. Abigail your work is so inspiring, you are my role model.l can’t wait for my class next week in the MB march cohort
So cool. Great news..I am so happy for all three of you..jackson too!!
Wow! Incredible story but totally makes sense to me too. And I saw you with a girl instantly… then a boy. Then a girl again, and was sure. So there we are!
Thanks sooo much, everyone, for chiming in and playing with me!
It was so fun to hear your predictions and intuitive hits! We’re off on a grand adventure…
I am so happy for you and your husband. I haven’t play the game but I was sure you where going to have a girl.
Congrats!
Love the results of the Intuition Game Abigail. She can only be a beautiful, wonderful baby girl…you and Scott are indeed blessed. Congrats to you both!
