Life (Or Something Like It), Love, Shopping, Too Much Info
I have a lot of things on my mind right now so I apologize in advance if this is all very random! 
Baby shoes are probably one of the cutest things ever. I have been looking for little bitty baby Converse for a while and today I finally found some. They are sooooo cute!!! I got the last two pair in the girls size. They had pink ones but only one in their size so I went for the black. You can’t go wrong with these shoes. They go with everything. They were on sale too! It was the best buy I’ve made lately!
I’m excited today because I landed a really good advertising spot for my baby boutique. I can’t wait for it to go up. It’s on a really popular baby website that I frequent. I have high hopes for it!
I was at Kohl’s today buying more white onesies for iron ons, because I ran out of the size I need, and I couldn’t help but gawk over the baby boy clothes. Call me crazy but I have baby fever, already, again! I know I have said that before. We just want a boy really bad. I started charting again so I know when I ovulate, and this month is still a boy month… I’m torn if we should give it a shot this month or not. We’re only trying when the lunar calendar says it’s a boy month for me, like I’ve said before. But I’m afraid if we try on this one boy month, I’ll want to keep trying and not wait until the 5 months of “boy” if I don’t get pregnant this month. Maybe I shouldn’t “rely” on the lunar calendar? All I know is the Chinese still use it and it’s proven to be really quite accurate. I don’t really rely on it, I just want to have the best chances whether or not it actually works! 
But I don’t have very good will power and I know if I get into the mind set of possibly being pregnant, I won’t want to quit trying until I am pregnant, which is bad because the boy months don’t start until September. I am crazy. Listen to me. Analyzing the boy months and all this silly stuff! I think about babies too much. Is that possible? The only thing I’ve ever really wanted to “be” is a mom and now that I am, it’s the most incredible thing in the world. I just want to be mommy, mommy, mommy! This past year with my hubby and our babies has be the most amazing time of my life. It’s been life ya know? Like really, really, really good living. Does that make sense? I would have an entire house full of kids if I had enough money and space!
Anyway…
Preston is starting school next Monday and I have to admit, I’m looking forward to it and I’m not looking forward to it. He’s going to a refresher course to get his airline dispatcher license. He went to school for this previously but never took his final test. Anyway, so he’s doing that starting next Monday and it lasts two weeks. He’ll be gone M-F from 8am-5pm. I’m going to miss him!!! I’m so used to being with him 24/7. We work together at home and we can be with each other all the time. It’s great. I always thought I would get sick of a person being with them so much but I just love having him here with me all day every day. Also, this is a huge career move for him. He’s going to get a job as an airline dispatcher while he continues his pilot training, and he’ll most likely get a job very shortly after his refresher course is over. Which means he’ll have an out of the house job instead of (yes, instead of, not in addition to… ) his current job. This is a big thing for us. It’s what we have been working toward for a while and now it’s all coming into place. It’s extremely exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time. I have no problem at all being at home with the girls and taking care of them by myself during the day and all that…. I just have a problem with not being able to get hugs and kisses and talks and jokes all day long!!! I guess I am just extremely spoiled. I’m sure I’ll get used to it in no time. It gives me time to miss him, which is nice sometime too.
Okay. I’m done now.

If you rely on the Chinese Conception Calender, April and May are both “boy” months, but in addition try something like the Shettles Method.
Maybe using both together would be more accurate! This website says that the Chinese Conception Calender is 90% accurate. So who knows! Yes, I did take the time to look all of that stuff up! Lol. I have a lot of free time when the girlies go down for the night!
I loooooove baby converse!
I want to get the girls a pair, but their feet grow so fast. 
Lol!!
And congrats to Preston!!

You just don’t know how refreshing it is to see a couple still so in love. I really do envy you.
Good luck with everything Preston! From what I read here I am sure you will have no problems. Congrats on taking such a great opportunity and running with it. It is so nice to see how happy Sarah is with you and the girls.
I’m dying to know what baby site. I swear I am one of three friends from high school who hasn’t had a baby yet, the other 4 have all had kids (there are 7 of us). I am always looking for cute baby sites for my friends. They love baby sites when it is naptime for the babies.

Good luck on whatever decision you make about trying/not trying. Only you can decide that.
Congrats to both you and Preston, as well. You for your advertising slot and him on his schooling.

When I was trying to get pregnant with Brooklyn, we knew we wanted to try for a girl. I found a web site that had boy and girl days, not months… I’ll see if I can find it and let you read about it… needless to say, it worked for me!
Love ya!

im slightly confused about all this preg stuff. Maybe because I’m not at that stage in my life, but I thought that its the male sperm that determs the sex of the baby, so then what would all these calanders and what not do?

I can’t find the one I was looking for, but maybe this one …
http://www.ovulation-calendar.com/
I read that sperm carrying X chromosomes swim slower and live longer than y carrying ones…. closer to ovulation, chances increase for conceiving a boy… I don’t know, but might be worth a shot

I can’t let myself go into baby stores at this point. Haha. The baby urges become overwhelming.
I know how you feel about spending so much time with Preston. I’m used to spending pretty much 24/7 with my fiance, and he just left for three months of USMC Basic Training. I’m going insane missing him!

Hi! I have never posted on this site before, but knew you back from TWW. We were both due in July. In fact, I think we had the same due date before you found out it was twins. Anyways, the reason why I’m writing is to tell you that the lunar calendar said mine was supposed to be a girl…I have a boy. So, I’d say don’t worry about the calendar and just try again whenever you’re ready. Oh, and I know why you want a boy so bad because I LOVE having a boy!!! I would have all boys if I could choose.

I used the Chinese conception calendars trying for a boy. Guess what?! It’s GIRL # 2!! lol
Guess nothing in life is a sure thing!

Oooh congrats to both of you guys!
I spend a ton of time with my boyfriend as well and I just find that we fall more in love the more time we spend together. A lot of my friends wonder how we can hang out all the time and not get sick of each other. I guess that’s how you know its the one!

me and my love are inseparable as well, don’t argue, and just always are so happy together. it makes my friends sick, but i think that’s true love for you!
congrats to preston and i can’t wait to see you guys’ next baby!

I think it’s wonderful that you have found such happiness with Preston. I’m glad to see you so happy and carefree, you deserve it!

I’m going through the same thing. For the last three years, Grant has had a job where he is home before me and off every weekend. Now he is going to be gone a week, home a week, on and on. I don’t know how Riley and I are going to handle it. Congrats though!
