    What does it recommend?
    I have always wanted 4 kids and would be perfectly happy with a 4th boy, but there is something deep inside that would quite like a little girl
    eta - There is no way Dh genes would produce a girl, so I have to be content to have another boy:cool:

    It's as Sami said earlier, but you should start by working out when you ovulate and stop having intercourse 7 days before your ovulation date. Each month getting closer by one day only so it can take a while. Also avoid for 7 days after. Having an orgasm also changes the acidity and takes the sperm further up so the faster males reach 1st. No orgasm means they have further to go so you hope that the longer living females are the ones to make it. Book was only about £3 on Amazon.

    BTW the same was said about my OH's genes, he's one of 2 boys and his bro only has boys!
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    Wow! She slept 2 hours and then another big nap a few hours later, I am soooo jealous ;p OH reports Elijah had one 1 hr nap today, between 7am rise and 7.30 bedtime. The little monkey.

    Sorry ... she doesn't normally sleep for that long, but we've had 2 days of mucked around routines (Tuesday she didn't go to bed till gone 10pm!) and no naps yesterday. So if you want to get him to nap maybe that is the way to do it ;)

    It's White Zinfandel (rose) - does that make it any more acceptable? ;):p

    They each have a different preference in socks as well, and when I bought DS1 a set with the days of the week on them, he would only wear them on the 'right' day.

    That made me laugh, mainly because it is the kind of thing I do :)

    DH has had 3 boys, he is one of 2 boys, his dad is one of two boys, his dad's bro (dh's uncle) has 2 boys, his grandad is one of 4 boys and out of those 4 brothers only one had 2 girls.....so girls are quite a long way back in the gene pool and few and far between:rolleyes:

    It's a good job I am not really too bothered about what sex babies I have:p

    I have read all that info around on the net, so when we(I) decide to ttc I may bear it in mind;)

    Actually yes! :) A rose Zinfandel is perfectly acceptable as a chilled summer drink :o;)

    (or beer obviously)
    I must be up too late - I was going to point out it isn't summer then I realised it is.

    Thanks guys, just spoken to my Mum and she's made me promise to ring the drs in the morning... I'd rather see the dr than the nurse to be honest because i've had to take aimee to see her a couple of times before now and always ended up having to go back and see the dr anyway... Don't fancy making two trips down there with both children... It was hard enough yesterday with both of them...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Mmmmm... that's acceptable to me, can I have some? ;)

    I only bought the small bottles.. Thought after so long without a drink I might not be trusted with a big one! Well that plus they were 2-for-£3 in Tesco and a normal bottle was £5.79 I think, so much the same but takes up less room in the fridge (one at a time) ;)


    Ladybird, was it you who was looking for long sleeved vests a while ago? Did you find any? I need some to go under all the dungarees I've just bought on eBay for Rhys. Plain white or coloured, no bothered. Any ideas anyone? :)

    ETA: Oh, have found some from Mothercare and M&S. Am usually a Tesco and Asda type for the basics - anyone seen them there?

    Hi everyone,

    cant go far enough back to quote the ones i want so il have to try and remember!

    mfd , what a lovely idea writing a letter, my jasmines 18weeks next week so i mite pinch your idea!! i didnt do it for jake tho:o have kept all his little tags n stuff, even got a lock of his hair somewhere from his first haircut,

    congrats molliethewestie, she is gorgeous, i love the 2nd pic

    im absolutley worn out had a long day, went to see my sis in birmingham 2day (i live in north west) so have had a lot of driving, the trafic was awful on the way back, we went sea life centre, jake loved it, it was too busy though, a nightmare trying to get round with my big loola!! had a bit of a strop at a woman who muttered i didnt say thanks as she moved her kid out the way, i did say thanks so i embarassed her a little i think! oops.

    jasmines been really off her milk past couple of days, doesnt seem poorly or anythin so think i'l just see if it improves, havent started weaning her yet, dont see any point at the mo as she doesnt seem all that hungry?may change in next few weeks i suppose!

    hope everyones well,
    speak soon x

    Next have plain white ones, and blue and white mixed pack, I think they are £10 for a pack of 5. You could probably get them cheaper, but not sure where:)
