But then it all came crashing down during one all-night editing session. <br />Keep at it!

Doubtful it helped. (Lemon juice is acidic but once the body metabolizes it, it is alkaline...so it lowers the bodies acidity).Wildologyhttp://wildology.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-7099052936454531072011-08-30T11:39:53.132-07:002011-08-30T11:39:53.132-07:00Quitting soda was one of the hardest things I did ...Quitting soda was one of the hardest things I did but I've been off for about seven months now. I do treat myself now and then if I'm out to eat. I have to address what Mandy said -- so I'm not sure if herbs can influence the sex of the child but I have heard that women who eat a lot of cereal are statistically more apt to have male children. I don't remember why this is. But most of the information about how to influence whether you have a male or female child revolves around the sperm -- male sperm don't live as long so it's believed that the closer sex takes place to ovulation, the more likely the outcome will be a male child. But who knows.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162110766373517916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-81159983111605315772011-08-30T11:34:49.485-07:002011-08-30T11:34:49.485-07:00Amy -- I am finding the best thing is to drink tea...Amy -- I am finding the best thing is to drink tea the way I drank Pepsi -- cold and in the morning. Also, I am making ti so I just can't get it, I don't carry change, and I avoid putting it in the fridge. <br /><br />Mandy -- the only thing I have heard about determinig the gender is timing intercourse. So, yeah, it's probably weird japanese stuff.Logical Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107961721466815295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-68117014830963534932011-08-30T11:01:06.827-07:002011-08-30T11:01:06.827-07:00This is apropos of nothing, but my sister-in-law w...This is apropos of nothing, but my sister-in-law who lives in Japan with my brother is trying to change her diet and eat herbs and whatnot so her body will be receptive to creating a male child. Is this slightly nuts or have you heard of such a thing?<br /><br />I thought it sounded like the usual Japanese sexism at play ... blame the woman for something the man determines.

I have also began to wonder if something simple as drinking coffee has kept me from getting pregnant. A few years ago I had a love affair with diet coke. We have since parted ways, but get together occasionally. These days I am having a hard time switching from coffee to tea. I went 4 days without coffee and scared my friends and family! Any tips on how to make the transition to tea from diet pepsi?Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-22541320313367514232011-08-30T10:34:12.201-07:002011-08-30T10:34:12.201-07:00You are hard core going cold turkey.
