Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I skipped breakfast all together (this was huge for me because I LOVE breakfasts) and also stopped eating meat. I followed the diet suggestions, but in the beginning I realized counting calories was too stressful for me so I just tried to avoid the "bad" foods and felt better not stressing about it all. I lost 8lbs and I'm happy about it since my BMI was 22 when I started and is now 20,5.

10 weeks.

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

He did avoid meat sometimes, but nothing dramatic.

No

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I tried not to stress and we both were good at taking our supplements. I skipped breakfast everyday and I also stopped eating meat all together. I love sushi but I always chose the vege sushi with salad and cream cheese. I also stopped playing any games because I love them and get very competitive so I tried to avoid that.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

I could've stuck with the diet even better and be sure to count my calorie intake but it was too much. We tried to get pregnant during the "girl peak" (Feb-May) but missed it by month. Oh well, girls are born throughout the year

Things worth mentioning:[INDENT][I] I think we won't find out the gender until at birth. Both times before we found out and I was pretty disappointed last time. I would love to enjoy this pregnancy without the feeling of disappointment. I would LOVE to have a girl, but I'm trying to be prepared for a boy as well. I love my boys and would be happy if another one joined our family

Thanks everyone!! It will be a long 9 months until we find out... I know I'll feel tempted, but then again I really don't think I can handle another pregnancy with such disappointment. It helps that none of my friends are pregnant now - when I was pregnant with DS2 there were few of us pregnant et the same time and they were having girls and it made it more difficult to cope.

But another reason I don't want to find out is that I know people will be asking what are we having (wanting to know if it's a girl this time) and I hate the way they look at you when you announce it's another boy. Like almost feeling sorry for you and saying something "Oh well you still have many years to try for a girl" (without knowing how much I hope for a girl, but also we wouldn't have gotten another baby if we wouldn't welcome another boy). I think it'll be easier once the baby is born, because by then I'm already in love with him

Bambi, congrats! You are relaxed and the fact that you dont want to hear what gender the baby is makes you a super mommy/women. Congrats Congrats!
We wait for your princess pictures in 2015 :-)
I do think you will have a baby girl.
