I Did It!

I had my IUD removed today. Aack, I'm fertile again. Part of me is excited, part nervous and part horrified. And I feel a little rebellious because my mom will flip if/when she finds out. Why at 39 am I STILL afraid of my mother's reaction? Ugh.

The Supplies...Part One:Incubator

We bought an incubator. It is on our supply list, a lengthy one at at that. I'm hoping to pick up a few more things that we'll need for our attempt. I so hope it works. As much as I want a girl, after 6 months of BFNs, I will forgo the EGS techniques and just try for a baby with hopes those 50/50 odds work in our favor.

A New Year

It is 2009! Where did all the time go so quickly? Sarah will be 19 this year and if we do conceive another girl, they could be nearly 20 years apart in age. I was 20 when I had Sarah! Crazy. Dh and I are gearing up to start ttc soon, probably in March or April. We are taking he boys to Disneyland for Spring Break and will be going forward with ttc after that. I bought some cranberry supplements the other day, the first of many things to get for our EGS (Extreme Gender Swaying) attempt. I'll shop for more this weekend. Today we are just having a lazy New Year's Day at home, having eaten hot fudge sundaes for breakfast...that's living!!

A little Inspiration

I couldn't help myself...I had to buy her!

When, What, Where, Why, and How

This will be no ordinary "ttc" journey. Conceiving has never been a problem, it's conceiving a girl that has been impossible. I've been researching methods to sway the odds in our favor. Some are rather complicated, but I figure it won't hurt to try, be a guinea pig of sorts. Who knows, maybe it will work. First up..WHEN to start ttc. M and I have decided to take an adult-only vacation first, most likely in March '09, so we will officially begin in April. Prior to that, I will begin the Girl Diet, start taking the recommended supplements and practice the various swaying methods. Oh, and I also have to have the IUD removed! I'll get to the WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and How later on. For now, I'll be compiling my list and purchasing the things I'll need.

Call Me Crazy

We have decided to go for it...to try for that ever elusive baby girl once again. It eats at the both of us, the sight of little girls in their dresses, long hair with bows, we WANT one! With the birth of every amazing son, we put those desires away and focus on the blessing before us...but time marches on and the void is still there. Friday night, on our date, we named that void Grace. We are now in pursuit of that dream.
