My crazy girl diet.

So 7 weeks ago I started a diet to help sway my chances of having a baby girl. I love my boys and would not trade them for the world, but I feel that my family would be more complete if I had a baby girl!

So I started this diet, which included low sodium and low potassium and high calcium and magnesium. Pretty much my diet was pretty bland. I did loss 10lbs though:)
Foods that I could eat included low salt cheese, cottage cheese, low salt bread,pasta with cream sauce, low salt butter, chicken(so tired of chicken), broccoli, cucumbers, green beans, corn greek yogurt, 3 glasses of milk a day and lots and lots of cranberries! I also took 1200mg of Ca+, 250mg of mag+, folic acid and canberry supplements daily. Not to mention 2-3 glasses of peppermint tea, and a lot of crystal light!
The purpose of the diet is lower the ph in my body, to make my body more acidic. Girl sperm (TMI) like a more acidic environment and the boy sperm don't thrive in this environment!
I know that God is the one that decides my fate, but it make me feel a little in control! I pray that God will bless me with a healthy baby girl, in hopes that I can have a relationship like my mom and I had. 2weeks until I check if I'm preggo!

All I want for Christmas!

We took the boys to see santa to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. I even got a chance to sit on Santa's lap. Can you guess what I asked for?

decorating the xmas tree

I the day after thanksgiving we put up our christmas tree. The cat thought she needed to be a part of the trees decoration. Who needs a star when you have a cat! After we hung the ornaments, I gave the kids a new ornament as a gift. This was a tradition my mom did with me when I was little. I hope to continue this tradition every year! Next we put up Jake's and David's tree in their room. And of course Patrick had to have a tree in his room!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very uneventful Thankgiving this year. Justin worked at the Hospital the night before and I work tonight so we stayed home. In the morning the boys and I watched the parade, then we chilled the rest of the day. For dinner I made low sodium stuffing and greenbean casserole to accomodate our diet! The main course was chicken with Mrs. Dash seasoning, and was pretty tasty! Though it wasn't the traditional Thanksgiving meal, it wasn't too bad! Stress free day!

Jake's art

Jake wanted to set the table. He used all of the spoon and forks and it turned in to art!

This week has been beautiful, in the 60's and so we enjoyed the outdoors!

The boys had a great time raking up the leaves and playing in them!
