Any additional supplement info? I opted to not go the highly supplement route as that was the case with my sway with DS2.

Did you use any Old Wives Tales? Not a lot of stock in it or ions, but there was a pink ladybug sleeper under the pillow!
Things that make me feel great about my sway: Extreme exercise, 6 days 60 mins,
LE diet, very little cm and prayer
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Due to the fact that I went the exercise route, I did eat breakfast and higher cals than the 1200 level that I know some of the moms of girls IRL consume.
Things worth mentioning: I know in my heart that I have to trust that regardless of outcome, I need to have faith that our family will be perfect and complete with the baby that God blesses us with!!!
