I find that when we're alone, our discussions about having a baby are much more rational, e.g., we definitely don't want to start trying until X, Y and Z happens. But when we're around our friends or his coworkers (many of whom have recently had or are about to have babies), all that goes out the window, and he is like, let's have a baby now! But, only a year ago, the whole notion of having a baby totally freaked him out. It's fun to see the change in him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-24233 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:08:26 +0000 tejbee 24233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got married this past spring and DH is DYING for a Little One! This December will be our first active/intentional/properly timed attempt at TTC. We are both so excited to see what happens! Hoping for some sticky baby dust over here. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-24203 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:08:40 +0000 BabyBear 24203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!! I saw the cutest baby blanket the other day and wanted to show Mr. Bear, but decided against it. He's more relaxed about the talk now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-23997 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:25:58 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 23997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night we had dinner out with my family. My little sister had ballet practice and we were waiting on the check. My mom said to me and FI, "Can you grab Ava real quick and take her over to dance?" I'm like, "Yeah." FI goes and picks her up from behind (she's almost 8) and literally is carrying my giggling sister across the street to dance. Cutest. Thing. Ever. </p> <p>We took her in and were getting her dance shoes on and the room was FULL of kids (and their siblings generally) and there was a baby boy in a carseat. FI bends over and is making faces with it, the baby is laughing and all that. We leave and he goes, "It's kind of cool to think about having one of those." Ha. </p> <p>I want babies. But so does he! Yay! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-23992 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:14:54 +0000 Rubies 23992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The holidays gives ME baby fever...I think it's because of all the time we spend with family that makes me want to expand my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-23950 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:50:34 +0000 LinzR 23950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The holidays are terrible for baby fever, aren't they?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-23921 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:04:06 +0000 cyneswith 23921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent Thanksgiving with some friends of mine... And their 4 year old daughter. Watching my husband twirl, tickle, and play with a four year old... SUCH a good thing that we are TTC now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22332 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 23:06:13 +0000 MaisyMay 22332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I have been talking about it a lot lately since we are TTC. I'm in my two week wait and it's half over so we'll know next week, but he told me last night that he think this is our month. We'll see (but I hope that it is!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22317 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:15:00 +0000 BabyBear 22317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hunni: Hahaha. It's still cute!! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22316 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:02:23 +0000 dc yoga bee 22316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We randomly saw cribs and other baby stuff at Sears, and I asked FI could he imagine shopping for a crib on black Friday!? He thought about it, and was like nope, let's just put money aside now so we don't have to fight the crowds! And every time we pass a toy store I bring up kids. Wait, this thread said is your SO talking about it haha. We're not ttc for another year since I'm still in law school buttt this time next year we could be starting to try is wild to think about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22307 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 21:40:03 +0000 BabyBear 22307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: We were making our stockings and put our first names on it. Mr. Bear said something along the lines of "we will have to get rid of these one day.." I gave him a puzzled look. He asked why I made a face. I asked him what he meant and he said "because one day we'll have to make mommy and daddy stockings." D'aaaawwww. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22215 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 15:46:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 22215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already had baby fever, but the holidays aren't helping! we're ttc right now, and today while DH was assembling our Christmas tree we both kept thinking about how next year this time, we might have a baby around! While I was shopping this weekend, too, I was looking at the "baby's first" Christmas things and toys. sigh.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22208 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 15:27:38 +0000 BabyBear 22208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: Aw. I know the feeling. I have problems with my cycle so I'm pretty certain it may take me awhile.</p> <p>@redsmarties: Oh la la. ;) I probably would've made the drive. It's always fun practicing. Hah</p> <p>He brought it up again this afternoon while we were shopping for Christmas decorations. I have no idea what to think, but I do enjoy listening to him and what he feels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22206 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 15:20:43 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 22206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband tries not to mention it too much, because I'm so hung up on getting a BFP every cycle, that he doesn't want to contribute to my stress. But lately, he's been a lot more interested in my charts and things; I think he's just as baby-crazy as I am, but in a different way.<br /> When I mentioned I got an "almost" positive on an OPK this afternoon (he's away until tomorrow), he asked if I would drive the 45 minutes to where he is so that we could...um...work on having a baby ;). I think it will only get worse around the holidays...but I like that he is showing his softer side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22154 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 12:20:04 +0000 eeh 22154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just in the last couple of days my husband has started to vocalize his desire to have a baby. He's worried about increasing the pressure on me to have a baby though so he tries really, really hard to keep it bottled up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-holidays-and-baby-fever#post-22128 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 10:47:39 +0000 BabyBear 22128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The past couple of nights have been interesting. Mr. Bear keeps mentioning trying to have a baby. He understands our financial situation and knows it'd be tough, but he really wants to have a baby right now. I know he's trying. He's been at me so much lately too! </p> <p>I know we would make it work no matter what if I did become pregnant, but I'm more in shock that Mr. Bear has been so vocal about this lately. It really is nice to see him with an emotional side. ;)</p> <p>Have any of your SOs been acting like this?! </p>
