So me and Mark have been talking and we are possibly getting my IUD out in the next week or so TTC in May!!! We really want a girl and the chinese lunar calendar says girl for may lol. We are trying everything possible to have a girl this time, diet change, me drinking special tea, him showering before, other stuff regarding sex as well lol.
Now before anyone gets upset....if it is another boy I will be very happy and love him just the same but after 3 boys we really would like to have a girl this time and are going to try what we can to make that happen...if it's a boy that's just fine
So now I have this list going of things I want to do this time around. Most of it applies to "natural parenting" which is why I'm putting this here. For instance cloth from birth, we didn't start Hayden until 2mo, not full time until 4mo. But that means I know nothing about newborn cloth really! I've heard of some good brands but not really sure where to start. OMG girls....possibly girly diapers. I will be going broke. Also exclusively nursing until atleast 2...I let Hayden self wean at 19mo and I have regretted it everyday since I have some other things on my list to do it "perfect" this time around.
Do you have anything you would change for your next baby?
Another big one is I'm going for a homebirth, water birth this time around. It will be my 2nd VBAC. Never done it at home so I'm really excited but nervous too and will be looking for lots of info later on I really hope it happens easily for us, if it doesn't happen in May we will be waiting months, I'm not having another March/April baby...2 of my 3 are there already plus me and Mark is May 2nd...just too much going on lol
