Hahaha JK</p> <p>Lose the rest of this baby weight and get to a point that I am happy and confident with my body. Also, it would be awesome to be able to sleep through the night, have a nap once in a while, and have N out of diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-want-to-do-before-you-ttc-for-another-child#post-1076194 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:48:34 +0000 sandy 1076194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning to start trying this fall (eek...I'm not ready for another baby!) and the one thing I wanted to do was put my almost 22 month old in a drop off program so she could start getting used to being away from me regularly. </p> <p>Other things to get done before baby #2 arrives is move LO into a big girl room and potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-want-to-do-before-you-ttc-for-another-child#post-1076184 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:43:23 +0000 HLK208 1076184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lose more weight, build our savings and go on a family trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-want-to-do-before-you-ttc-for-another-child#post-1075765 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:13:42 +0000 Littlebit 1075765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying for #1 right now, but before trying we had a couple things we wanted to do. Get a kid friendly car, get invisalign for me, take accutane (for me), travel, and save a little. </p> <p>We've done everything but travel, unfortunately. We just don't have the money for it :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-want-to-do-before-you-ttc-for-another-child#post-1075742 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:00:00 +0000 cascademom 1075742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-sell our condo &amp; move out to the burbs<br /> -lose more weight. Still about 4 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight, but want an additional 20 lbs off of that<br /> -earn a certification which will net me a lot more $$ when I change jobs<br /> -leave my company and get a new job. Really don't like my new coworker.

My company deserves it, too - I was distracted while we bought the house, had a month off (holiday entitlement) for our wedding, "worked from home" for many weeks and was super distracted while my dad was sick, had a month off berevement leave after my dad died and I miscarried the following day, was distracted while TTC and then spent 9 months pregnant which is quite distracting really!!!!! All in the space of 17 months! Im now having 6 months off maternity leave! Employee of the year, anyone?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-want-to-do-before-you-ttc-for-another-child#post-1075405 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:58:24 +0000 sslm 1075405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to lose the baby weight from #1 and spend some time enjoying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-want-to-do-before-you-ttc-for-another-child#post-1075392 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:49:32 +0000 yin 1075392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to bounce back and continue eating healthy meals.
