I went to a playgroup and started talking to a very nice mom with two boys and an infant daughter (I'm RIDICULOUSLY drawn to moms who have my dream family!) After a while, I expressed my GD and she smiled and said "Oh, I know it sounds silly, but the Chinese gender chart really works!" She said it was accurate for all of her kids, and when I told her it wasn't at all for either of my boys, she just nodded. Then I told her about swaying techniques, including exercise and LE diet and she really perked up. After I went into some detail, she said,
"Really?! That would make so much sense because my DD was an oops. I was desperate to lose weight from the last two pregnancies, I'd never dieted before, and I figured if I was going to be done with building my family, I wasn't going to be fat anymore. I basically ate nothing but steamed vegetables, brown rice and skinless chicken breasts, and I was going to the gym everyday, sometimes twice a day! DH and I got drunk one night and I was pissed that I'd gotten pregnant until we found out she was my girl."
How's that for another real-life "How we made our girls?!"
