Have you guys heard about this? https://www.23andme.com/ its a DNA thing you can do to tell you WAY back about your family heritage! Also other things like meds you may have issues with or would work better and other health things.
There is a great sell going on right now for $99 plus 12 months at $5/month (so $60). Troy and I are going to do it and get london's also!

looking more into this... so they can tell you if you have the gene marker to increase your rate of pre-e by 4 times, and tons of other pregnancy/fertility issues I didn't even know you could test for!!
one thing I found very interesting it the BFing and IQ correlation! So you know how you always hear that BFing increases the IQ by about 4-7 points. Well turns out that it does but only if you have a certain gene. For the people who don't have that gene there is no increase in IQ even with BFing! Very interesting I thought.

I should get the kit in the next two weeks and then we will send it in ASAP and it takes 6-8 weeks to get results. I can't wait!
