Its so crazy to see her run off and play with her friends and talk to us with a mind of her own. I think my husband is getting a bit of the baby fever. Last night he was saying, "remember when she fit in our arms". I think he is probably more ready then I am to try again. I think he was hurt when I brought up the idea of an IUD for now.

Good job with the replies, lady! To bold something, you just put a lowercase b within these <> at the beginning of what you want bold and then /b within the <> at the end. You can also do italics by writing i and /i within the <>or u and /u for underlining. runsyellowlites on "Waiting to TTC crew?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-to-ttc-crew#post-736301 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:19:57 +0000 runsyellowlites 736301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Beebug: AF showed yesterday so we're back in the waiting to try camp!

Man I cannot wait to eat whatever I want I again (so long as my body allows :p) @oliviaoblivia: @travelgirl1: So when we all have one in each arm can we get together again and say....what were we thinking? haha, noo. @Dandelion: love that you came to post :) How is the apartment/house/new place hunt going? I hope you get into your new place, soon! You have a Golden Ret, right? @littlek: When will Europe trip be? Very exciting, I don't travel....ever, so like hearing stories from others! @PointeShoesTutus: Glad you posted :) Oye about the big move, that would be pretty incredible, hope it goes well! @ModernDayJibarita: I have done a lot of work keeping a herniated disc at bay pre-preg, and now that I am trying to get back in shape post, so I am with you on those concerns! I wasn't allowed to do anything last pregnancy for other reasons, so I think that helped then, but has made getting back into shape now a little slower! @wheres_c: I like your "kinda knowing what to expect" comment. Agree, though I am so interested to see what (if anything) is slightly, or a lot different any future pregnancies! @runnerd: Sorry about MC, hope normal period finds it's way to you soon!! @luckypenny: DH and I never *do* massages, but reading your post, I was like....that would have been nice (time #1).....maybe #2 we will add massages into the mix :p @googly-eyes: You're going to go team green for #2? Good for you, I have thought about it, and want to, but know....I just won't be able to not know!!! Even though I have crazy baby fever, I am with you on wanting LOs to be close in age fever or no fever, it's definitely what we're hoping for for our fam! @indi: LOL gift of bigger boobs, that was one of the things I hated the most about it.....so happy they shrunk (I think smaller than before!!) @runsyellowlites: FX for 28th! The though of tandem nursing boggles my mind, good for you!!! @Boopers: When I came off BC after 9 years, it didn't take long! (came off Aug, BFP for 2nd time with LO in Feb (mc was 1st) so FX for you!) @IRunForFun: Your wedding will be here so soon, are you enjoying planning?! Like your labour comment, I was sick about hearing other people's stories or what books said, I was SO excited to go through the experience first-hand, was awesome (despite being painful, crazy and awful at times, that didn't matter!) @MrsSCB: Love the cheesiness, so cool you have been together so long and through such amazing stages in life already, aww! @Cole: Awesome about the savings plan! Awesome you love Mirena, I was really hating it the first few months, better'ish now, but only two more months and it'll be gone. @Mrs. Champagne: lol on babe that is half DH/half you. When I stop and think about it, making a baby is SO cool that they are parts of both, science is neat, haha I am a loser. @MrsBrewer: Maybe a "fake" HB account to keep secret to get it out if need be? lol. @T.H.O.U.: I've had so much fun reading the responses! Love all the different stories that brought us to one spot for now! LO and picnic with the dog sounds adorbs, I think our dog will be subject to picnics before he knows it! @MrsKoala: How does one bold things? How much easier is your post to read! Unreal!! Good call about dental work, hmmm I should go to the dentist. @LuLu Mom: Isn't it insane to look at LO and think back to early days? I don't even want to know what that will feel like as more times goes on and they actually grow up. Time flying too fast already! @prettylizy: lol about bad fever, when is your sis' bday? @fussygal: Sorry about mc and that baby shower being rough, hope the vacay helps a little and moving forward everything is ok! @Weagle: Totally envious of no AF 11.5 months pp, 6w she showed up on me pp! @buffalove: I'm going off bc June 24th (lol to me hung on the date!)

What are you waiting for? When are you planning on TTC? Will this be your first, second or ?? time)? Well, we're basically waiting on AF.

Having another child to love and watch grow. And maternity clothes. Those suckers are so comfy. Most nervous for? Morning sickness. I was SO sick with LO until 6 months, and it lingered off an on for the rest of pregnancy. I don't know how I could feel like that and chase after a toddler. Currently on BC/what are you doing to prevent currently? Nothing Family status? (Married since, not married, kids already, etc) Married with 1 LO When does you baby fever "flare up" the most? Um...

When are you planning on TTC? Will this be your first, second?? This will be #2 for us, and we're waiting for me to go on a girls weekend with my sister for her 30th birthday. I really don't want to be KU when I'm in NOLA but it's game on as soon as I get home. What are you most excited for (beyond being preggo and having an LO)? Feeling kicks again. That was such a special thing between DD and I when she was growing in my belly. Like our way of talking to eachother before we could talk to each other. Most nervous for? Keeping it all together (work, home, marriage) while pregnant and chasing after a toddler. I just keep thinking that people make it work every day and so will I. Currently on BC/what are you doing to prevent currently? Had my Mirena taken out when my period came back and have been temping for the last two months to get an idea of when I ovulate. We've been using condoms during my fertile time though some days I just want to throw caution to the wind. Family status? (Married since, not married, kids already, etc) Married for 2.5 years, 1 DD 13 months old. When does you baby fever "flare up" the most?

Starting in May next year we are hoping for a spring baby! What are you most excited for (beyond being preggo and having an LO)? (certain symptoms, eating what you crave, giving other LO a bro or sis, etc) I'm most excited to have the belly, I miss it! Most nervous for? MC for sure, I have never experienced one, but both of my sisters have so I'm scared my time is coming. Also being so exhausted I take away from time with DD. Currently on BC/what are you doing to prevent currently? We just use condoms right now, they weren't able to insert the Mirena and BCP do weird things to me. . Family status? (Married since, not married, kids already, etc) Married with 1 DD. When does you baby fever "flare up" the most? Whenever I see a pregnant person or a brand new baby, I look at my 6 month old and she seems so big and it's hard to remember her like that!
