If I'm not pregnant before then from NTNP. :) </p> <p>1. Baby#: 2!</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting: Well, we're only kind of waiting. Ha! We're NTNP now, but after I wean (whenever that is) we'll get more serious. I have a bachelorette party OOT the first weekend in April, and I really don't want to take my pump...so that might speed things up a bit. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC: Just more time with my girl before she becomes a big sister! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2458465 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:25:39 +0000 mrstseluyu 2458465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: haha :) I'm going to the library after work today to get "Before your pregnancy : a 90-day guide for couples on how to prepare for a healthy conception" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2458449 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:16:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2458449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstseluyu: You don't need books.. You just need HB... lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2458444 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:13:38 +0000 mrstseluyu 2458444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Baby#: 0 so far! </p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> Just got married Oct. 3rd, bought a house we are currently painting (and want to furnish a little)...and I want to have a good amount of $ saved for baby</p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Hopefully going to start TTC end of 2016! Looking forward to reading books on TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2456139 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 02:24:00 +0000 littleblessings 2456139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: thank you! All the planning is taking a toll though. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2455874 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:48:49 +0000 gilmoregirl 2455874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: oh, no, surgery. The sounds like such a bummer, but I hope it helps! </p> <p>1. Baby #: 2 </p> <p>2. Why are you waiting: I'd like a 3 ish year age gap. I'm not sure I'm mentally ready to be pregnant again. I had some baby fever the last few months, but it seems to have passed. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC: My best friend is getting married in March! Maybe after that we'll try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2455687 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:06:46 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2455687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Baby #: 2 - My son will be 2 in March. Hoping to maybe have an almost exactly 3 year age gap, which would mean conceiving in June '16 - definitely open to a larger age gap, though. </p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> My best friend just got engaged and is planning to get married in New Zealand in Jan '17, which means a 3 hour plane trip for me, and I'm not interested in doing that either hugely pregnant or with a newborn. Also am starting to really get back into running for the first time since bub was born (there have been a few false starts) and there is a half marathon in Sydney in May, which I'd like to train for, and complete, without being pregnant. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Improving my fitness and hopefully dropping some kgs. Enjoying time with my son who is absolutely amazing. Still being able to do all the things you can easily do with just one child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2455618 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 16:13:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2455618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: London's gonna be awesome! </p> <p>@emilye519: I totally feel you on the "why wait" part! They are just SO much fun right now. And I feel like I def need to make exercising and dating my husband priorities first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2455602 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 16:03:37 +0000 emilye519 2455602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Us too!</p> <p>1. Baby #:<br /> 2! DD currently almost 13 months</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> I just started a new job, so we need to wait a few months to be eligible for FMLA and short term disability </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Enjoying life w/ DD! She is growing and changing so fast, I want to soak up as much of her as we can before throwing another into the mix. I'd also like to figure out how to balance life a little more and fit in exercise and date nights more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall/page/2#post-2455485 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 15:13:03 +0000 LovelyPlum 2455485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!</p> <p>1. Can't wait to try for baby #2!! My DD is 22 months tomorrow :shocked: </p> <p>2. I have to have back surgery in March. Womp womp. I really don't want to wait, but I really need this surgery to be, like, a functioning member of society while pregnant :silly: </p> <p>3. I'm going on two work trips this summer: to Salt Lake City at the beginning of June, and London at the end of the month. It will be my first time to Europe!</p> <p>Hi to all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2455474 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 15:05:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2455474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: Congratulations!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2454114 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 20:11:41 +0000 schubr03 2454114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🙋🏼Me me me! </p> <p>1. Baby #: two, DD is 7 months now.</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting?<br /> Well, our first is only 7 months right now. We want to wait until she is at least one. Also, we are going to be buying a house thing spring/summer so want to get settled a little first! </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC: Still not getting my periods (thank you, BF!) and enjoying time with DD. I can't wait to see her grow into more of her own personality. It will be tough having to split my time with a toddler and a newborn and I want to give her all the attention I can now. I also can't wait to get a house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2454102 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 20:03:10 +0000 littleblessings 2454102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Baby #: 3</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> We are planning our wedding. I really don't wanna be hugely pregnant for our wedding. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Watching my DD and DS relationship continue to grow. DS just turned 2, DD turns 4 in August. I'm really looking forward to our wedding since the 11th would make 4 years that we have been together. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2454031 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 19:17:41 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2454031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope so! </p> <p>1. #2. (DD is 8.5 mos)</p> <p>2. DH &amp; I haven't yet discussed when to start trying, but we both hope to have a 2nd &amp; we are both older, so we'll need to get on it sooner than later! :-) I'm SAHM to LO &amp; DH expects to be able to transition to a new, higher paying job this summer. We are both a little concerned about having a good grasp on the costs for 1, let alone a 2nd kid on only his income. </p> <p>3. We are definitely enjoying LO1's development, and while I wonder how I'll have the energy for a new baby with a toddler, I definitely have some baby fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2453741 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:11:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2453741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@witchy: Hawaii! That's gonna be great! And welcome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2453729 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:03:30 +0000 witchy 2453729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Baby #:<br /> 1! We just got married in October and are so excited (also terrified) to start trying.</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> We are going on our honeymoon in April, and I am also matron of honor in a wedding in November, so I don't want to be too far along at her wedding. TTC in May!</p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Our trip to Hawaii, and continuing to get myself and other things ready for a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2449124 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:10:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2449124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tofuwad: I totally want to live in Silicon Valley too lol! (says the New Yorker totally sick of winter). I totally get the stress... Moving twice in a "short" period of time sucks, esp with a kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2449091 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:00:25 +0000 tofuwad 2449091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also been thinking about this a lot. I'm totally on the fence about it. </p> <p>1. Baby #: 2. LO1 is 6 months, so we'd wait until after her first birthday to start TTC. </p> <p>2. Why are you waiting: My husband is a teacher so the best time to conceive would be late summer/early fall and I originally wanted a 3 year gap but now I'm thinking I want a 2 year gap. But I'm already mourning EBF! And I'm worried about moving. If we have another we'll have to move and we are about to move right now so that stresses me out. We are about to move into a 1 bedroom from a studio apartment and having to find a 2 bedroom gives me anxiety. Ugh the pleasures of living in Silicon Valley! But we want a boatload of kids so we need to get on top of things if we want a bunch. And I just really want my family! I have this idea of what my family will be like (utter chaos, lol) and when I see my daughter growing it makes me want the rest of my family. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Just spending time with my daughter. Being a small family. Maybe sleeping for 8 hours (or even 5 hours in a row). Losing weight. Living very close to my husband's work for the short amount of time we can afford it. Right now DH has a 2 hour daily commute and we are moving 1.1 miles from his work. I'm so excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2448944 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 10:52:53 +0000 dc yoga bee 2448944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tentatively dipping my toes in this thread!</p> <p>1. Baby #: 2. DD is 8.5 months </p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> I want to lose weight, want at least a 2yr gap (preferably 2.5-3), and had a high needs colicky first baby. Not totally sure I can handle two!</p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> I love spending time with DD, and watching her grow! A trip to San Diego next month, and I'd like to plan a family trip perhaps. Maybe to Chicago or Orlando depending if we take DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2439787 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 10:02:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2439787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Excited for you! I better be seeing you on POAS boards later on this year then, lol! </p> <p>@SweetiePie: So true. #1 is at that age where life is more or less back to "normal" and some days it's hard to want to give it up again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438882 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:12:47 +0000 jape14 2438882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: yes! I almost paged you in this thread when I responded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438472 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 09:14:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2438472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438463 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 09:12:35 +0000 peachykeen 2438463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I hear you! I'm feeling the same way about life finally seeming normal again. It's so much easier to live my own life with only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438452 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 09:03:36 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2438452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll jump in! </p> <p>1. Baby #: 2! DD turns 2 next week.</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting? We were pregnant twice last year and lost both babies so we decided to wait until January, then my in laws told us they're taking the whole family on a trip this June and we decided we didn't want to be pregnant during that trip. So we'll be trying as soon as we get back! I also need to go do some testing to get on clomid and I'm going to go get my thyroid and other hormones checked. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC? Wine! Haha. But really, I'm enjoying my daughter, enjoying her being potty trained, she's so funny and sings and pretend plays now. I'm enjoying a stress free life before all the testing starts and blood draws. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438440 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 08:53:41 +0000 LBee 2438440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: Pact FTW! </p> <p>1. Baby #:<br /> 2! DS is currently 17 months. </p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> Among many reasons, I want a 3 year age gap. I also would just like a little "me" time - no nursing, not pregnant. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Enjoying my time with DS and focusing on him being my "only." Also moving to a new house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438220 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 22:56:06 +0000 Crystal 2438220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I can't believe your baby is 14 months already and you're talking about #2! I remember when we were on the poas threads together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438218 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 22:55:19 +0000 SweetiePie 2438218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me...maybe? In so fickle about this. </p> <p>1. Baby #: 2! My son is currently almost 17 months</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting:<br /> Well first off I'm still not sold on another. :silly: Some days I feel the fever and others I think "I am so happy with the way things are right now, I'm finally comfortable as a mom, my marriage is back to normal, I sleep 8 hours a night, why would I want to change it up???" Newborn phase was rough on me. I would also like a 3-ish year age gap - more independence, understanding of baby, etc. plus he can be in preschool while I'm home with just baby.<br /> And we have to do IVF w/PGD and I just don't want to start that yet.<br /> So my answer is multifaceted :-)</p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC:<br /> Enjoying life. Life is good right now (couldn't have imagined saying that a year ago!) and if we are going to change things up, I know it'll be tough for a bit, so I want to savor the ease of just one. Also a lot of my friends are starting to have their 2nd children - so I am looking forward to seeing how it goes for them and to suck up any advice they have BEFORE we have a 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2438207 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 22:40:56 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2438207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me!</p> <p>1. Baby#2. DS is 15 months.</p> <p>2. Why are you waiting? I want to graduate with my master's in December. </p> <p>3. What are you looking forward to before TTC? Enjoying my little boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2437957 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 18:21:04 +0000 MediaNaranja 2437957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Oh hey buddy ! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tentatively-ttc-this-summerfall#post-2437946 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 18:05:09 +0000 Synchronicity 2437946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Yayyy :D </p>
