Thanks for all the replies about your eating habits. I have had some nausea, so I am not eating as much as I was. Everything taste so blah...except the whole bowl of guacamole DH made last night with chips...mmmm. I didn't get really bad m/s with my DSs or DD3, so I am hoping I just stick with the nausea.

B:You have such such a wonderful Hubby!!! I am sure it would be much harder without a solid rock like him.

Spicy: Very well put!!! I have people comment all the time about how I need to even out and have some more boys, but if we have another healthy girl, I will be just as happy. My girls are wonderful people and I would love to have another. They are the ones that are close to their parents when they get older and help with food on all the holidays and you can enjoy mother daughter outings like shopping and tea. (trust me I have all brothers and I am waayyyyy closer to may parents). There are great things about boys too, but those are some good ones about the girls.

Cheeky: Congrats on the healthy baby, I hope you post some pics after your next scan.

B- loving that you woke up feeling good. You couldn't be more right, what's in her diaper is not who she is. DD2's favorite toys as a baby were cars, she is absolutely fearless and if there's a tree around she will climb it. My oldest rode a mechanical bull the other day, in a skirt I might add. DD3 tackled a 7yr old while playing flag football the other day and didn't mess up her pigtails lol Girls rock and I wouldn't trade any of them for all the sons in the world. Keep focusing on your family and I promise you'll discover it's perfect

Wp- as my midwife always told me in the first trimester. Eat what you can not what you think you should, a belly full of twinkies is better then barfing up broccoli. Make the best choices you can but at the end of the day getting any calories is most important.

Mmmmm, guac. I love guac WP and that is something you should feel semi-good about giving that fetus

Healthy fats and all. Chips not so much but hey, guac needs a vehicle, as does queso ... and nothing else works as well so what's a gal to do? FX no morning sickness hits you!

Jen LOL about the belly full of twinkies vs barfing up broccoli! YUCK! But twinkies sound kind of good now ...or those chocolate cupcakes with the swirly thing on top.

Spicy I was thinking about you today as my girls were playing so well together outside. 2 girls is a LOT of fun. Who knows what your next 2 babies will be (I think you've said 4 is the plan) but 2 DD is a really great start IMO.

Anyhow, today really continued to be a good day and I had a LOT of opportunity for it not to be, so I'm happy about that. My dentist today was all "try for a boy this time?" and I just said "Happy to have a third baby, whatever it might be." And I meant it. Then he said "Well, in my opinion, you should have a 4th either way." He has 4 and loves it. But I was kinda laughing inside thinking about if they only knew all the things I tried to have a boy

It's darn funny when you think about it.

But after THAT it got worse because I ran into a mom at preschool who had 2 girls, waited to find out til birth (unless she's a liar like me

) and wound up with .. of course ... a son. That one was harder but not really bad. I told her congrats on the healthy baby and didn't make a big deal out of it being a boy ... I know if we did have a boy after our girls I wouldn't want people making a big deal out of it, as though the girls weren't somehow as awesome, KWIM? I was really surprised that interaction didn't hurt more. Maybe it will bite me later though, who knows. It was a stinkin' cute baby that's for darn sure.

I think I've come up with a name I love so that's a plus too! But I tend to waver so we'll see what we actually end up with

Really needing some support today! I know that you all have encouraged me to not be so dependent on my nub, but I know the theory well, and am confident what I saw- so I assume I am having DD2.

I don't necessarily care that I am having DD2, most of my GD comes from my dh's desire to have a ds. He isn't harsh about it at all, and loves his girls, but today I was encouraging him to let go of his 'imaginary son'. He had never thought about it, but this made sense to him. He longs for this 'imaginary son'- and realises, that yes, he is perfect. He is driven, smart, athletic, etc. I also got him to confess that he does 'covet' other boy families when he sees them in town.

It really robbed me of my joy again. I just want him to be happy- he asked if I would be disappointed if I had 'ds2' this time, and I don't think I would, bc I know that he would LOVE that. Ugh.

I also need some advice on the next sway. Should I go for IG style again or try TW. I will say, that both dh and I lost weight IG style- me only 2 pounds, him 15! TW would be wayyyy more manageable, but I don't know if IG failed because of bad luck or if it wasn't working for my body. Thoughts?

Well if you are definately happy to be trying again then that gives you plenty of time to be watching all sway outcomes and see if you see any patterns

You will be able to see if the blue swayers who choose +clac/mag over ig's -calc/mag do any better or the same?! Or if theres any weight gain pattern, timing pattern, head spin pattern lol, you see what I mean though! Really you've got a possible gorgeous bonus pink baby, before your string of boys, best of both worlds! I'll be here obsessing over patterns with you as I suspect I've a few babes left in me for a while lol

**Foxy** · October 14th, 2011, 10:43 AM

Spicy - I agree with ELP. If you go for #3 there will be a lot of stats on TW and IG attemps when that time comes. Maybe you wont even need it!

Definitely going for no 3 no matter what! Probably no 4. Always wanted at least 3-4- regardless of boy or girl.
