I read this article from CNN purporting that if you want to increase your chances of having a boy, you should eat more calories, from breakfast cereals in particular. That would make for a good Tony the Tiger ad campaign!

Makes sense that skinny bitches would have more girls so they can pass along the psychosis of dieting and wearing size 2 jeans to their daughters. The only reason I exercise is so can eat more. Within the last couple years I've been wearing a heart rate monitor when I run so I can see how many calories I burn, this allows me to work myself into somewhat of a caloric deficit before doubling down on the chicken and cheese enchiladas at dinner.

Of course since I am having a boy, this CNN article is also proof of my secret eating habits that my husband discovered after we were married...he'll often find junk food stashed in the back of the pantry. He just found the graham crackers I bought last week, and managed to polish them off. At least he apologized to me, knowing how protective I am of my food these days. Coupled with a few large dollops of peanut butter, graham crackers are a prescribed pregnant lady snack. He gave me the stink eye earlier this week when I came home from the store with a chocolate pudding pack, but I explained to him that the pudding was a negotiation down from the peanut butter ice cream pie I wanted to get. Hey, these boobs aren't growing on their own pal.

Maybe I am reading tea leaves, but the way I interpret this research, I need to keep my calories up lest my baby boy loses his wiener.

Hmm, a hot dog sounds good for 2nd lunch.  Off to the cafeteria...
