Yes keep me posted:) hearing about other people's fun pregnancies- whether the sway worked or not- is always fun for me and lifts my spirits. Maybe I should go to announcements boards to lift my spirits!

It's good to come to terms with the possibility of an opposite but I suspect in reality very few of us are really truly TOTALLY okay with having an opposite. :) Obviously it's great to do the hard work on your gender desire and try to get it under control but I just don't want you to expect too much from yourself.
This may actually be a bit of a blessing in disguise as it gives you some time to get your head right. You are still in the hard part with your (totally adorbs BTW) little girl and it may to some extent be aggravating your overall emotional state for now. Having a little baby is TOUGH! they get so much more fun once they're over about 18 months.
Great question Zodiac, thanks for asking.Quote:

Zinc, being a mineral can accumulate in your system and 50 mg over time can actually build up to harmful levels. It also is notorious for causing stomach upset and diarrhea (as anyone who has ever tried taking it for a cold can testify to - it often ends up doing nothing for your cold and then also gives ya the poopz). So it is best to just stick with the 100% recommendation and additionally eat good food to make sure he's getting enough both supplemental and naturally.
