Things that make me feel great about my sway: My DH and I both have chgned many things about ourselves and our diets since our last sway including my diet and his exercise routine. He is huge in to lifting weights but stopped while we were TTC and started just to run. He was a heavy drinker before and now doesn't drink at all. We also changed TTCing to FR instead of every other day like previously. If we do not have a girl, we are just meant to have all boys. :)
Things that make me nervous about my sway: My big O makes me a little nervous and that I have been so busy.
