[WantsALittle1]

A throwback to the old days of Myspace... Please erase my answers, fill out, and repost your own replies! If you like someone's survey, please Thanks em! Also, please feel free to add your own questions!

*************************************

How long have you been trying?
a few weeks

What number kiddo are you trying for?
#2!

What methods have you used?
CM and BBT (though the latter is a failure when you have a kiddo who gets up several times during the night!)

How many people that you know have gotten preggo without trying? (Grr)
3!

Are you trying for a rainbow?
No, but so much love to those who are!

How long did it take your partner/SO to warm up to the idea of TTC?
about two years for our first, but just a few weeks for the second!

What is the weirdest place you've had to check CM?
bathroom at work, really awkward to do in a stall when there's someone next to you who won't leave the dang stall because they're going numero two

What is the weirdest place you've had to BD because you found out you were Oing?
just the bedroom, boring. I've never done the "OMG, we need to DTD right NOW" thing and knocked it out in the back seat, luckily

How many times have you started talking about cervical mucus, charting, and other TMI TTC lingo in front of non-TTC people, only to catch yourself?
waaayyy too many...

What's the weirdest fertility enhancer you've tried?
I've been known to drink bottles and bottles of grapefruit juice, and we conceived DD1 on the first try!

Most ridiculous CD that you have taken an HPT?
I once tried at 5DPO... And I was sure of my O date. It was BFN, big surprise!

Ever had to sneakily proposition your partner for BDing when you realized you were Oing?
Haha. He knows when I O, so he knows exactly what we're doing during certain times of the month... (i.e that it's TTC and not just random fun time)

Do you already have names for your kiddo/kiddos?
Yup! Alexander Silas for a boy, Skye Lucia for a girl!

Do you have any close friends who are TTCing at the same time as you?
No, boo

Do you get pissy when you see pregnant women?
I did when we were TTC#1. I really don't get this way anymore, though, because of DD. I really don't miss the insane jealousy I used to feel. It is so hard to be in that emotional position!

Are you taking prenatal multivitamins or just folic acid? Why?
Just folic acid and a few others (calcium, Vit D, iron) as individual pills. Got really sick from prenatals with DD, and my OB said that prenatals are bad and that all a pregnant woman needs is folic acid, calcium, and Vit D (iron if anemic).

How many friends/family know that you're TTC?
3--DH, my cousin, and Barhanita. Decided I wanted to be ultra secretive this time around...

Finally...what dreams do you have of your future baby?
That it'll be a blue bundle. That he will love his big sister, that she'll love him, and he'll be happy and laid back to balance out DDs super hyper me-me-me energy

a few

I'm not use what a rainbow is in this context

How long did it take your partner/SO to warm up to the idea of TTC?
Always wanted to, just had to convince him of the timing! Only a few months after that

I most often check it at work

Only when they are smug or underprepared/not ready (in my mind at least)

Are you taking prenatal multivitamins or just folic acid? Why?
Yes, found out I was almost anaemic as my body doesn't absorb iron properly, so didn't want to be missing out on other vitamins or minerals!

How many friends/family know that you're TTC?
Maybe like 5 friends, no family know yet...

Finally...what dreams do you have of your future baby?
As lame and smug as it sounds I just want them to be happy, healthy and so full of love that they pour it out onto others.
