I think it was more or less just loose weight, finish some home projects, maybe go on vacation with just LO1... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807709 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 09:50:52 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2807709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a list before TTC #1 but this time was more about preparing to TTC #2. I started taking vitamins and joined a gym and committed to going 2-3 days a week so I would already have a routine. I'm 11 weeks now and focusing on doing fun things with DS so we booked a weekend trip to go ride Thomas the Train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807679 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 06:49:25 +0000 magnolia 2807679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: aw I have a 3 year old also. I hope a 4 year age gap will be good. When we ask if he wants a sibling he says yes so hopefully that’s a good sign. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807669 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 00:11:46 +0000 codeitall 2807669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My list mostly focused on doing things with DS that would be hard to do with a baby in tow. We did a lot of activities, adventures, and crafts.</p> <p>What I wish I would have done was establish an evening routine. It can be so hard (because going with the flow is way easier), but they are so beneficial for everyone. Dinner through bedtime. Trying to make the routine now with a preschooler and a baby makes it a lot harder. Battling morning sickness and exhaustion that first trimester, it is much easier to throw it all out unless you all have the habit and expectation of normalcy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807654 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 22:28:13 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2807654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: My kiddo is 3y4m now and I'm about 8 weeks now. The cycle we were successful TTC I was doing Whole30, which was really nice as a getting-healthy-and-feeling-ready-for-baby thing; the nausea has completely destroyed any progress I made, unfortunately, though I did find it much much easier to cut back on alcohol this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807652 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 22:26:29 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2807652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were also to lose 20 lbs and go to pelvic floor PT; I also wanted to get a new job that was closer to home and quit soda. I actually did all four! I think I ultimately only lost 17lbs but still, I feel okay about it. I've allowed myself ginger ale due to the morning sickness, but I've been all-other-soda-free since NYE 2016. </p> <p>If you only do one thing on your list, make it the pelvic floor PT. It's made such a difference for me and while I do still pee myself when I vomit from the nausea, I at least know some things I can do to make it less awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807644 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 21:11:19 +0000 SweetCaroline 2807644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: DD just turned 3 in Feb, so we're looking at a 4+ year gap. How old is your LO? I have also upped my vitamin game in the past month. I'm thinking about doing a 3 day raw juice cleanse (offered by a local company) to cut my carb habit. I'm with you though, it's totally a pre-TTC lost, not a bucket list. Things that will make life with baby #2 easier/better/healthier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807635 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 20:16:02 +0000 magnolia 2807635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought we were one and done but I went on vacation with my husband and got baby fever (he’s the best dad ever). Going to start trying to May or June possibly??!! . I’m trying to detox by eating healthy with a diet high in protein and greens and low in sugar and carbs. I’m taking multivitamins, omegas, fish oil and probiotics. Also trying not to stress and learn how to relax hahaha. :heart: decluttering also sounds lovely. ETA I guess my list is less of a bucket list and more just preparing to ttc! I’d like to go on vacation with just us as a family of three also. How old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807627 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 20:07:51 +0000 SweetCaroline 2807627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to start TTC for #2 in June 2018. What things were on your list to accomplish before you tried for #2? Or...maybe you didn't have a list?!</p> <p>Mine Are:<br /> -Lose 20 pounds<br /> -Finally start pelvic floor PT<br /> -Do a serious declutter<br /> -Stock the freezer for DH &amp; DD (had serious MS the first time)</p> <p>- </p>
