COMMENTS?

We started the diet in July, and have stayed on it since, but we took a break one week in September since I was going to Spain with some friends. However I tried to stay away from major no-no’s. We have both lost weight, however it was not possible to get my fiancée to gain weight on the diet.

Even though our attempt is not perfect I feel pretty good about it. If it’s a boy we will love him just as much, and right now I’m just excited that we will be experiencing the magic of becoming parents one more time.

UPDATE: Just got back from ultrasound and we are expecting another baby boy. Can’t wait to meet him. I was prepared because it looked like a boy on my early ultrasound. We are going to Cyprus in two years time to try PGD, so I’m not giving up my girl dream yet.
