I Love My Boy!!!!

I never thought that my diet at the time of conception lead to the birth of my wonderful baby boy, but this does make sense. I battle with low blood pressure, and was told to increase my sodium intake. At the time of conception I was adding extra salt to my food.

The crazy thing was that I was like most women and looked up all the different postitions and different things to guarentee a girl. I tried them all, but still had my boy. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change my boy for a girl anyday.

However I always wondered why all these things that you read about, and heard other people say that it was full proof didn't work. Now it makes sense. I was also a big raisin bran eater. I would eat at least 2 bowls a day and not even think twice about it. I never even thought about how what I ate would determine the sex of my child, but it does make sense.

I had a friend that was pregnant around the same time I was. Her eating habits were the total opposite of mine. She was determined to lose weight before she got pregnant, therefore she cut back on what she ate and cut back her calories.

I remember how she would get on me for eating so much salt, but she knew that I was only doing what the doctor told me. I remember thinking that she wasn't eating enough, and sure enough she had a baby girl.

There are alot of old wives tales and stories out there that people will tell you to do to concieve a boy or a girl, but this is defintly the closest thing to the truth I have ever heard. Thank you for making all of us think about this.
