trying to conceive?

Children are blessings, I believe that . That is why I am one of those who are very much against abortion, it is just not right. A twitter friend has been trying to conceive and she shared this in her blog which she got from EHow.com. I guess this would benefit anyone who is trying to convince. Read and follow this by heart and when that big day comes, do not forget to take your over the counter prenatal vitamins.

Step 1
Stop using contraception. There are some arguments about how soon you can start trying to conceive after discontinuing certain birth control methods. Discuss this issue with your OBGYN as their opinion might be different than anyone else. There are some methods that might take up to eighteen months before a woman’s ovulation cycles are normal again.

Step 2
Change your diet. If you and your partner’s current diet is lacking the recommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, calcium and folic acid, it might affect both male and female reproductive organs. In addition to a well balanced diet for mom to be, she should begin taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid a few months before trying to conceive. The balanced diet will also help if there are any concerns about being an ideal weight prior to conception.

Step 3
Stop smoking, using drugs and drinking alcohol. This is for both males and females.

Step 4
Create an ovulation calendar. Women are most fertile anytime between ten and eighteen days from the first day of their last menstrual cycle. You can choose to have intercourse every day in between these eight days or every other day. Once the egg is released, it is only viable for 12 to 24 hours.

Step 5
Let gravity work for you. Some doctors will advise you to remain lying down with a pillow under the pelvic region for up to 30 minutes after intercourse to increase your chances of conceiving. This act is said to create a “pool” of sperm in the cervix.

Step 6
Reduce any stress in your life! Stress could lower sperm count and hinder ovulation. The more you worry, the longer it will take to conceive a baby. Just relax and let things happen naturally.

I was meaning to check on colon cleanser sites but ended up finding this cute tumblr site. I snagged this one as I find it very cute especially since my and DH’s initials are there. So how did you spend your Valentines? DH surprised me with a gift a day before Vday and it was indeed one of those surprises that makes you want to say, is this for real?

Spread love y’all!

billing and more…

Gah and Yay! Hurrah for Chinese New Year! I have not been this much fanatic on Chinese New Year as I am now. Kudos to my twitter/bebot friends who are so full of information on feng shui, amulets and other CNY-what-have-yous that I become so aware of the possibilities and advantages this occasion and the practice thereof it might bring.I started to believe on the luck it might bring and even asked an online friend to buy some amulets for me. She already bought a few and will buy more for me on Sunday and guess what, I have not even seen nor touched any of my amulet stuff but luck has been coming my way, I might need serious Billing Books and online invoicing of the many blogging opportunities etc… that I have been getting for the past 24 hours.

Switching to Mac.

My HP Pavilion Laptop is turning 3 years old this year. So far, it has been very good to me considering the usage I have and there are days I just put it on sleep mode. However, I am really convinced that may be this year is the right year to switch brand and you know what I mean by that. Not only brand but OS also. I am saving up for a MacPro or any MacBook . Despite the hullabaloo on iPad, it’s not my cup of tea, I have my iPhone and I do not want a bigger version of it.

Moving on, DH said maybe it’s time I reward myself with a Mac and upon prodding of my friends who are Mac users, I am convinced, Mac is the way to go. Anyhow, I have been doing my homework by reading computers and laptop information at where else, ShopWiki! I needed to brace myself with the cost, specs and what-have-yous when my Mac-fund is completed. Oh I so cannot wait hee hee. So who says, I am going to stop blogging, to date, I don’t think so.

PS-mood: EXCITED & DETERMINED!

and another one.

So yes, my friend who is based in Boston is right, we have about 7 snowstorm prediction this year and I think this weekend is the 4th one, yikes! I have this love and hate relationship with the winter because I never grow up in a place where there is a winter season. But after experiencing it 3 times, I think I’ve had enough. Now, we are stuck at home instead of savoring DH’s free days again. Oh well, might as well be productive today and help my cousin look for homes in sacramento.

note to self: WAKE UP!

I will never EVER procrastinate again. I think I might have just given away more than $50 bucks of blog opportunities just for the first 4 days of the month, because I have always done blogging when the deadlines are near. I love sleeping period. But when that equates with laziness, it’s full of crap. Sigh. Another thing, I was supposed to get a good deal from purchasing these Delta faucets but I am too late now.

So again: WAKE UP to me is in order.

smile and shower.

I have mentioned more than a couple of times before that warm and sometimes hot showers and a dip in the bath tub can release my stress and definitely relaxes me. Our bathtub is not like the high-end tubs that you would die for but I just love staying there. This shower curtain I saw while checking ceramic tiles would be nice to add to my relaxed mood hee hee .

The List.

My astrology prediction for this month is very positive and I hope the prediction is true. 2010 has been great so far, that or maybe my life’s perception has changed hee hee. So before I go full blown on my blogging marathon, here is a list of some of the important things I need to accomplish this month:

• clean up the files in my external hard drive ;
• update my photos in facebook, getting there ;
• submit my resume in job search engine ;
• finalize photos for photobook services; and
• continue with my 30 day shred routine.
