Gender swaying

If you are swaying for a certain gender, which one?
What are you/DH doing specifically?
I am not rigid about it because I would be happy with either gender, but am trying for a girl since they are "rare" in DH family.
I am taking cranberry, magnesium, calcium citrate, baby aspirin, and folic acid (the FA does not gender sway). I also don't eat red meat very often. DH takes a few of the same supplements as well.

Re: Gender swaying
Ditto this. We have 2 boys and this is it, so I would love a daughter. A healthy baby is most important, but I would definitely love a daughter. I am not really trying anything different, just hoping for the best. I drink plenty cranberry anyway (very prone to UTIs) and not a big red meat eater so that won't come in to play.
TO ALL THOSE THAT WILL SAY "I don't see how anyone could possibly have a preference, ANY baby will do". She didn't say she would hate a boy, just that she would prefer to have a girl. Go find something else to get pissy about!!!!!!
Oy. Seriously? DH and I are just having sex...hoping for ANY baby, male or female.
P.S. baby aspirin? Did your DR clear that? Because, you know, it's not really recommended for TTC unless you have a clotting disorder that might be causing miscarriages or other issues.
Everyone in both DH's and my families would like a boy. 1 boy out of 9 grandchildren....
But, I would also be happy with another little girl. I see how my 2 DD's interact and I love that. DD1 would really like a little brother, 'but not one that cries'. She wanted a little sister last time because 'baby girls don't cry as much as baby boys'.

Yes, I am on baby asprin for medical reasons.
I am not saying I only want a girl. I am not even taking this swaying thing very seriously. Just added a few supplements that perfectly reasonable to take. Whatever we get, we get. I want to help create a happy and healthy adult person regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.
We both would like a girl first, but we would be ecstatic either way as long as we have a healthy baby. We're not doing anything different to try to sway the gender.

I would really love a little girl. Dh says he would like a little girl too so I can go and do girly things with her
Really though I would be very happy with either.

This is how feel right now too. Ideally we would like one of each but since we don't have any either would be great. just get me KU!

I want one of each. So for #1, I really have no preferance. #2, though, I will want the opposite of what I already have.
Twins (boy and girl) would be awesome!
I've always wanted a boy first and I know the shettles method is not very effective (at least from what I've read) but I too just want a healthy baby. On that note, I wanted to share a video a friend of mine shared on facebook... made me laugh. At one point they're making fun of us (who just want a healthy baby- when asked what sex they want)...
