Don't eat this, don't eat that..

You know when they say if you are planning to conceive you have to do this, do that...eat this, eat that....don't this don't that? Well, I'm not going to take it so seriously anymore. I'm just so sick of trying and waiting for nothing every month. And you know what, all this pantang larang is only making me more stress out. Giving me hope and taking it away every month. I see so many couple had theirs unplanned...need I add 'easily'? Here I am..taking every precaution just to get disappointment. So from now on...don't tell me "cannot eat tomyam", "cannot drink ice water", "cannot go jogging, just do normal walk"...To hell with NO tomyam, NO kopi peng, NO seafood, NO laksa..

Yesterday lunch when I ordered Neslo peng, Hubs reminded me that I was not suppose to take ice. I just shoot back, " All this is making me more stressful. I thought you ask me to take it easy". Haha...so syiok!

Alkaline=baby girl, Acidic =baby boy

The other day I was talking to Hubs over dinner and the issue on choice of baby crept up. Mrs So and So told him that to get a baby boy, one has to take more acidic food. Not knowing what is consider acidic food, he happily explain acidic=seafood, meat..bla...bla...bla. What's on the 2nd onwards was totally ignored by me. Hearing saefood was like hearing, "you got yourself a free vacation package". For one, I'm an extreme seafood lovers. So getting to know that seafood is good for getting baby boy, I'll be the happiest lady on earth. However, Hubs totally spoilt my fun when he said that it's him that was suppose to get acidic food, not me. Hey, this is NOT FAIR! I blantly told him, I don't care. I want seafood...haha...He couldn't do anything about it, so he suggested we take it together. Yeah!

I've heard from my sister of this alkaline and acidic food for mother who want to conceive. But I didn't remember which is which. Immediately when we came home, I went online to search for more info.

It says that if you want a baby girl, the husband has to eat more alkaline food while the wife eats more acidic food. On the other hand, if you want a baby boy, it's vice versa. As I said, acidic food consist of seafood, meat, and alkaline food are vegetables, fruits, egg white, milk, algae.

I will take all those alkaline food but don't make me give up on the acidic food, especially not seafood.
