Even though this pregnancy is still early days I wanted to write this all out while I still remembered everything. Hope that I have done enough to get my baby boy.
I am feeling really anxious about it especially now my sil has found out she is now having a boy after a girl and my uber competitive bil's and his girlfriend are pregnant a month ahead of me. We haven't told people we are pregnant yet but I am dreading it (especially bil).

Praying and hoping that this did the trick.
It would have been good if dh's abstinence had been longer but O took me by surprise. Moon phase was also out but both of my girls were conceived in the full moon phase. |
