Pink swayers' December thread

Mocha, I think wouldn't even have a glimmer of hope except for the fact that I didn't J&D...I don't think I have any baby dust either but if I do, It's going straight to you!!!

Sorry, I'm one of my frumpy moods today, lol.

No worries...Why do our own mothers (who are supposed to love us unconditionally) hurt us so easily?!? They just don't realize they do, I guess and are thinking they're doing the best for use by saying what they do.

BTW, swaying during the holiday season just plain sucks...

I just don't feel like dealing with shoppin' this weekend to finish up Christmas....I do love our xmas tree and seeing the boys face light up! Just not in the mood to deal with the "buying" part of Christmas, ya know? Blah!

I have to say, I did 99% of my shopping online this year, and it's made for a far less stressful Christmas. I agree that I'd rather be just about anywhere else than a mall on the weekend before Christmas. Having said that, we still haven't brought the kids to see Santa, so we may brave the mall today as soon as they get out of school. Wish us luck!

I did that this year...Bought all the prezzies online the day after our Thanksgiving...All but one are wrapped under the tree. We'll not be seeing Santa this year b/c DS1 is only 3.5 and I think we may be able to get out of it for 1 more year. I'm such a Scrooge-Mama when it comes to that kind of stuff...Next year, we'll have to go for sure as he'll be old enough to give me #E!! if we don't!

Wow!!! We live in PWC right now. We're transplants from the West Coast but have been here since 2005. So cool that you live so close! I think Amari lives in Maryland so she's pretty close too...

Yay for being 3dpo Jen! I have everything crossed for you, good luck!

Lemon - if you're just ready to get pregnant then it's easy, keep taking your OPKs (although obviously not this month if you've already O'd!) and DTD 2 or 3 days in a row (or DTD on your high and peak days if you're using a monitor) and forget about FR and abstinence. If you really want to be pregnant and not worry at all about swaying just DTD every other day throughout your cycle. I don't know what you mean about your attempt being perfect for a boy - if you're basing that on the timing then that's just not the case!

I just heard back from my doctor's office, and my HCG levels are at 0. Woo hoo! They still don't have the results from my u/s, but I should get those on Monday. In the meantime I'm going to assume all systems are go. So far today I've had no spotting, and my OPKs show a very faint line that was ever so slightly darker today than yesterday. Come on, O! I'd just love it if you decided to arrive a little early this month - CD12 would be PERFECT!

Well ladies, one of my co workers did the pencil divining test on me! LOL, have any of you had this done to you? She has a "special" pencil, and if it moves up and down you have boys and if it moves side to side you've had or will have girl(s). She warned me before hand that it tells even if you've had an abortion or M/C how many children you would have, have or will have.

So....we did it on my left hand and it definitely moved up and down twice, then side to side once, then up and down again before it finished....she swears this pencil tests works for everyone she knews/knows!

So it predicted B B G B for me.....although I am not going for a 4th child, so /scratches head at that one

Kind of cool it predicted girl for me I'm a roll with the all the girl predictions!

this was just for fun, but wondered if any of ya'll have succumbed to wacky "gender predictions" things such as the pencil test?

we used the wedding ring test on my first, that works the same kind of way, you tie the wedding ring to a piece of cotton, and hold it above the belly if it swings in a circle , its a boy, its its more of an oval its a girl.
