alot of you have asked what I ment by swaying for a girl so here is my attempt at explaining myself, with hope of not totally sounding freakish or dweeby ;)
let me start this post off by saying I believe there is more science to gender selection then most think. and if there was something I could do to maybe help the chances of getting a girl I wanted to see lol. I don't know if I believe they work still because I believe God ultimately has the say on who He blesses us with. but I figured it couldn't hurt anything right? ;)
I LOVE having my two sons, but I have always wanted a daughter I have wanted the pink clothes, big bows, big puffy dresses and just pretty stuff and the mother in daughter relationship. My mom has always told me she picked the sex of my last two sisters by following this book she had. so early this year I picked up the book read it a few times made bill read it and then started doing online research to see what else I could do to try to help our odds at conceiving a girl. there are ALOT of extreme things people do out there and I wasn't willing to spend thousands of dollars on something like this and I wasn't willing to play dr at home spinning sperm with egg whites, and no I'm not joking there are people who do this, which is fine for them just not for us. so finally in June we started on our plan of swaying, Bill and I both took some supplements cut some things out of our diets. I woke up daily at 6am to take my temp to help track ovulation. I was testing both bills and myself ph levels and once august rolled around we had everything down and were ready to start trying. I was surprised how much about my body I didn't know LOL following my cycle daily was interesting to say the least.
when trying to conceive a girl they say it could take months so we were shocked to find out we were pregnant right away. and a little scared maybe we didn't something wrong lol.
the basic idea behind getting a girl, is girl sperm are slower but heartier then the fast weaker boys, so timing of sex is a key, then you ph level also plays a part as there are optimal ranges for both types of sperm to live in or to kill the other off :)
I have NO idea if our sway worked yet. in sway standards we had a great sway and our odds are something like 80-90% girl, but with our luck were in that 10% boy range LOL there are days Im SURE were having a girl and the next day Im that sure were having a boy. so who knows!!!!
I really am ok with this baby being a boy or a girl, but the Fact is this is our last baby so if we see a penis on that ultrasound screen Im going to be super bummed at first!!!! Ill need a few days or weeks ;) to get over it and then fall deeply in love with the little guy. I wont be bummed its a boy as much as I will be bummed Ill never get the pink dresses and big bows and the mother daughter relationship. the disappointment of the girl dream being over will be what bums me out not the boy, I have two boys I know how to love boys I know how to deal with boys I know how to wipe a boys bottom I love having SONS so I know I will love having THREE sons... the thought of three boys scares me AAHHHHHH but the thought of a girl scares me too, the unknown I guess.... I know who is in my belly is EXACTLY who God picked out for our family and Im blessed to know that boy or girl its the perfect match for us!
our ultrasound date is set and a BIG FAT secret, bill and I are planning on keeping it a secret until its confirmed again later at another ultrasound. we arnt even telling anyone when we are going partly because if they tell me its a girl I wont believe them, ;) and if its a boy I wont be ready to hear from everyone I tell... Three boys wow, or Boys are great!! I know all this but Im sure I wont want to hear it at first lol.

Were back!!! :)
did you miss us?! I never ment for our absence to be quite this long, but I have reasons ;) LOTS has happened in the Voong household over the past few months. All great of course :)
Frist we moved!! :) at last!! we found a great house in Chino Hills that is perfect for us 4 bedrooms 3 baths with a back yard for the kids to run around and be boys. it has a big hill that the boys hike and go hunting for lizzards and bugs.. eww ;) we are so happy to finally be here really Good things come to those who wait.
We moved in the end of Aug. and that same week we found out I was pregnant with #3 we couldnt be more thrilled, and Yes this baby was planned! We are due the first part of May. We werent planning on telling anyone untill later on in the pregnancy, but my body had diffrent plans, it was almost INSTANT my belly pooped out and I couldnt hide that I was pregnant.
I tried wearing spanxs and even still I couldnt fit into my regular jeans. At Titus birthday party (sep 13th) we had all our family here and they all came up to me at diffrent times with comments like wow we didnt know you were pregnant I tried to play dumb but seriously there was no hidding it. So Bill annouced it before everyone left. the secret was out.
(this is my belly earlier this week at 9wks 1dy)
Im 10 weeks now, and so far this pregnacy I still havent thrown up. I wish for it daily because I just always feel this horrible feeling of needing to but nothing comes up. I feel 1000000X diffrent then I did with both of the boys pregnancy's. so far I have had NO hip pain which is a BIG one for me, I keep praying it will stay away, dr said its unlikely I wont have any problems but we will see in time....I wish I could rely on the fact this pregnancy has been so diffrent and believe its a girl but I have seen to many people say boy I feel so diffrent this time and it end up being the same sex as before. We would LOVE a little girl and even did some swaying for a girl, but ultimately we know whos in my belly is exactly who God has for us and we will be excited with either gender. Bradyn since before he knew I was pregnant has told me I had two babies in my belly, that he quickly named Peanut butter and Jelly (the boy) and Ice Cream (the girl) I was kind of freaked out my 3 year old knew I was pregnant before I did and was saying there was two. but we did go for our ultrasound a few weeks ago and there is one baby!
Bradyn still insist there is two and gets upset if we tell him otherwise. he always says but I want two babies and I prayed and asked God for two babies there is two babies!! LOL
both the boys are CRAZY about this baby already they both hug thier baby and tell s/he they love it ALLL day long they both like to talk to my belly and ask me at least 10x's a day if their baby is feeling ok or what their baby is doing right now. Bradyn has started to change his voice and respond as the baby when Ty talks to her its hilarious!!! I love my boys and am so excited they both are this excited about another addition to our family!!
Well thats it for now, Im actully feeling quiet well right now so I think its time to go play at the park for awhile!! :)
