Any July/August/Sept 2014 Swayers?

[Kelissi]

Any concerns you have currently? I'm usually a very healthy paleo style eater so I do worry about this diet causing miscarriages and/or producing a baby that is less healthy. I'll definitely be going right back to paleo as soon as I get my bfp! I'm also still torn on whether to exercise. I really really hate it, but it's been getting great results! I'm worried I'll start it and then not do enough of it and it will end up swaying blue.

I'm also very healthy paleo style, and planning on eating healthy food but less of it, and also doing some empty cals with chocolate and wine. I'm planning on exercising, too, since that seems to be such a strong sway!

Care if I join in ? I have 2 beautiful boys (3 & 16 mo). I am hoping to ttc a girl later this year. Maybe July/August, I would have to skip a month and then again in October if July or August didn't work. I would love a June baby but I have a cousin getting married that month and will need to be able to fly.... But a Fourth of July baby would be fun too. Both my boys are winter birthdays so is like to switch it up. My husband isn't 100% sold on baby #3 but if we do he is ok with swaying.

Two steps forward, one step back with DH. My best friend just send me a picture of a positive pregnancy test - this is baby number seven for her, and she has three girls and three boys - and I ended up crying and fighting with DH about how badly I want a third child. This is after a condom broke this morning (but I'm 10 days away from O, so no real chance there ). The thing was that he was so cool - "Where are you in your cycle?", not freaking out, and I thought that was a good sign that he was coming around. This is after the boys and I have been away for a week and a half, natch.

Thankfully, we're going to a therapist tomorrow. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if he doesn't get on the same page with me - I want to do pink sway, but I'd be happy with a little boy, too. I just so desperately want my third child and it hurts so, so badly that he's taken such a strong stance against it when I'm already doing everything for him - we live in a tiny town where I can't be an artist, where no one wants to pay for a doula, where there's no school for our kids so I'm homeschooling, where our friends are at least 30 minutes away - like, can't I even be in charge of getting to choose whether I have another child when I'm the one making the sacrifices for our family? I had a very surprise pregnancy with a Paragard in that ended in miscarriage two years ago, and I was sad but also slightly relieved - my due date was DS2's second birthday so the timing was really close and the babe was due midwinter which was also kind of scary since we live in the snow belt and my midwife is 1.5 hours away - but that has turned into one of the greatest tragedies in my life. We wouldn't have DS2 if he hadn't been an "oops!" pregnancy, so now I feel like all I can do is hope for another oops. And it is pretty much the worst.

I don't even know if this makes sense. I'm heartbroken and worried and so scared of what my life will be like - the resentment and anger - if he doesn't come around. I can't divorce him, really, and wouldn't even be able to have a baby with someone else because I got pre-e in my first pregnancy and so my chances of it recurring are pretty much 100% with another father. I've chosen to postpone getting my bachelor's (I thought I'd be a PhD student by now) because he's so much older than me that having kids had to happen right then if it was happening. How on earth does he think that it won't lead to a lifetime of resentment if I have made *all* the sacrifices in favor of our partnership and he gets his way every damn time?

I don't know. I'm devastated. I think he'll never come around and I'm just deluding myself.

I am SO SO sorry to hear that Kelissi!!!

I also have been stressing myself out a lot lately just because our second son while absolutely adorable is being a real challenge. For example last night at dinner he pointed and made sounds that he wanted a different glass (no words yet which is part of the problem) then I gave him a different glass but made the mistake of pouring his old water into the new cup- he promptly dumped it out all over everything. Then when he decided he didn't like dinner he threw his plate as hard as he could across the room. I know it is just a stage but he does stuff like this about 500 times a day and I know it is really driving my DH crazy- every time the little one does something like that I can just see DH thinking "no way am I doing this again" which in turn stresses me out. I haven't been bringing up the topic at all as I think there is no point right now. I'm just really hopeful that a few months will make a world of difference. My mom comes to visit in June and I am hoping to bring it up after her visit.

Is there anyway you and your husband could move somewhere else Kelissi? It sounds like the town is part of the problem.

Just remember a lot can change with a few months time. Big hugs!

This is my first post on this site but I've been a member of Ingender for sometime now. I recently purchased and received my personalized sway and we are going to start trying Aug-Oct. We are swaying pink. Even though I thought my research was pretty good on swaying I see from reading on this site that I was merely scratching the surface!
We have 2 sweet boys and would both LOVE a girl. We are also a little wary of a adding a 3rd. I just figure we'd all adjust like with anything.
I'm going to be starting my diet in May and am slightly overwhelmed since I've never counted calories, fat or any of that! I've also never used an ovulation kit. I do want to give this all I can so I can say I tried my best and hopefully have no regrets. I somehow still feel as though we will have another boy. Which of course I'd fall in love with! Any way looking forward to chatting with you all along the way!

Partner and I are debating to sway for blue once our current baby is 9 months old which is around sept. Four kids is a huge step though. Starting again on blue diet now so hopefully we have better luck this time.

Hi Emilee Jane! I've also never dieted before (at least not in a counting calories/watching what I eat) kind of way so I am hoping to ease into and not get too stressed or obsessive since that sways blue!

Hi Zebaniee! I hope you have better luck on the blue diet this time. You are more then welcome to have some of my testosterone and whatever else makes boys just pop out of me LOL Funny how we can all be so good at producing one gender but not the other!

I'm starting to get SO antsy to TTC. I'm getting those feelings whenever I see pregnant women or newborns. But I really wouldn't want a baby any earlier then April so I have to just focus on having fun now. I really don't want to start the diet or exercise more than 8 weeks ahead of time as I don't think I will be able to stay super dedicated for more than a few months. But the planner in me loves the idea of being able to already do something now. However I think that is just the boy mom in me talking and that I need to gear up to go with the flow, not plan, not spends hours obsessively looking at my chart,etc.

Hi! I will be TTC either August or September. I am not really swaying, just going to do what I did last time, when I had my DD. I would like another DD because my DD born last year, was born ill, and almost died. She is beautiful, and strong, but she has a rough road ahead, and I feel like a sister might be a strong support for her along with her older brother. She has some scarring over her body, and I feel like maybe her sister would be supportive of her insecurities. I am really just praying for a healthy baby, with a hint of pink

[Junie]

Hi Kaseybaby! What a beautiful reason for swaying for a girl. Welcome

[zebaniee]

My two older girls are the best of friends, the relationship between sisters is wonderful.

I'll take all the blue dust I can get. I'm still not entirely sure that having 4 kids is a smart decision but there is a part of me that desperately wants a son.

I'm looking at purchasing a plan soon. Is anyone else doing this?
