The "GPT" (Gender prediction test)

When I mentioned I was going to try this, quite a few people wanted to know how it worked. So here is the brief overview...
You have a jar, with what appears to be crystals and glitter in it. The label has two side, with examples of the color range for each gender. Yellow to orange means girl...

And a shade of smoky green means boy.
You add urine (the patent is pending so little information is given, but they are testing the hormone levels.)

Swirl carefully and rapidly for 10 seconds.
And let sit for EXACTLY 10 minutes, then read from eye level.
What do you think?

Looks like it matches boy pretty well!
I hope it is right. It would be fun having just the one girl- and less expensive! But either way, it was fun to try and we will know more accurately at the 20 week ultrasound. The reliability of this is only 82 %, so it could definitely still be a girl! Doesn't matter too much, since we have no idea where we will be living in December, and odds are there won't even be a nursery to prepare. But I might look for some clothes on clearance at Kohl's, since they allow you to return forever...
and the boys are THRILLED! The male majority appears to continue for now, this was the chance to even it up- and I am not sure that we will continue to have enough kids to even it up after this!
