Things that make me feel great about my sway:

Intense cardio for 18 weeks
One attempt, second batch
Clomid
Alcohol

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

"Boy" month of October
Same weight as ds2
Husband did NOTHING

Things worth mentioning:

The cardio and diet really mellowed me out. I really felt like I made the switch from "martha" to "Mary" plus lots of things were out of my control at this time-- DH laid off, selling in a bad market, being on WIC and medicaid.

Carmella...looks good! Hoping and praying for a pinkie for you!

I totally relate to falling on hard times but pushing forward.
Technically DH and I are INSANE to be having another baby but I am almost 40 and pregnancy is HARD on me and DD1 is almost 16 so the clock is ticking.
I have determined their is never a good time to have a baby so just do it!
Keep us posted!!!
