I actually run my own craft business, would be awesome if that swayed blue for me. Maybe I'm a better mix than I thought. I guess my first thought was that I'm incredibly laid back with schedule in regard to my kids (other than at bedtime). I was kind of freaking out last night, so thanks so much for the extra info, I feel better about things now.

Do you have a Pinterest?

That was awesome! I am a bit more Mary than Martha, but been feeling very relaxed lately. I am on low-dose prozac though, maybe that's why anti-depressants may sway PINK???

Please don't get too hung up on details or comparisons - I am not into schedules either but I do a lot of plotting and planning in other arenas. Everyone is different - people are a lot more deep and complex than movies or parables can really show!

Yes I do wonder that myself. The "official" reason has something or other to do with pH but I wonder if it's more unplugging the hamster wheel that a lot of us boy-moms have running in our heads all the time.

So I only made it through the first essay, but I have to say I definitely think there is something else besides just diet that is swaying. As my DH always points out - if it were 100% just diet, all the woman in each individual african tribe would have the same gender as they all eat the same things and are all extremely malnourished. I've gone through every possible person I know and their diet trying to see if their childrens genders match up and some certainly do, but others it just really doesn't work and it's driving me insane - yah, probably why I have boys!!
I feel like diet wise I should have a girl as I found I had to take things too far on the LE diet to make a difference because I was already naturally thin, eating way more empty carbs than good etc. BUT, I am crazy control freak and I think the maternal dominance theory definitely describes me.
Now for all my girl mom friends who are on anti-anxiety medication... I don't understand why they have girls as their the same... maybe it's the medication!

I certainly hope so as I am on medication, very low dose, but hopefully it will work towards my sway.

Wow - what everyone else said - thank you so much for writing these essays, you are brilliant. I will be re-reading them again many times and coming back for the follow ups. In fact I have almost been in tears reading about myself - wow wow wow. I pray to be more like Sloane and Mary and not Jeannie and Martha!! (But may as well change my name to Jeannie or Martha ha ha)
LOVE the essays thank you again.
I have time to try and mellow out before my TTC attempt without over thinking it
