[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[Snackimals]

...and your decorating ideas are to die for Twagster! Love it!
I also love rompers, white ones, so I def am not looking at gender specific shopping at all. I do like blue and pink, totally, but its not my 'craze' I guess.

Thankfully, Mr.Snack also doesn't care about gender stuff, so we're like backwards of Texas, in that knowing the gender pre-birth is not even a topic. We just dont care. Maybe that adds to my disinterest.

TTC updates:
Nada. AF is just about out, saying her last good-byes.
Cycle #9 straight ahead.

@Snackie: so glad this visit seems to be much less traumatic than the last one for you!

 

[LillyTame]

Do you guys ever wonder/worry what your baby will look like?

No one can say..."I will love my baby no matter what", well, duh! We know that But do you ever daydream about what features baby will get from you or DH or family members. Have you ever seen a picture and thought "oh I hope my baby is as cute as that one"?

 

[ClandestineTX]

I'm the odd freak, I'm sure. I want ugly babies. Here are pictures of me and my brother as wee ones (note I'd not yet outgrown my red hair)...



But here's the deal... by a year old, we were friggin' cute. And even now, we're both considerably overweight and... still cute. I think if your features look good when you are a baby, you outgrow them and look awkward later. I'd rather have an ugly baby that grows into their features, than the other way around!

 

[Snackimals]

dude...
you just reminded me. last night was the first time i have EVER had a dream of my man and I WITH our kids. we had two girls.
one was maybe 5. she was kinda lanky and had straight hair. a lighter complexion. the younger one, maybe 3, was heavier set and darker, with thick black hair in braids... they looked nothing like each other.

I dunno. I think more about body types than faces. I worry that a girl will have my mans body, TERRIBLE. He has HUGE shoulders and arms (naturally) and no butt and slim legs. His body would be a girls nightmare! I hope all our kids have good proportions and are fit and sporty That's my BIGGEST concern, seriously, regards appearances.

 

[LillyTame]

Ugly babies my butt! I just want to kiss those little faces!! Maybe we could do a single photo challenge! A baby/child pick of you and your OH! Who ever wants to particpate let me know if you'd be comfortable posting her or in my journal for privacy....vote today on the where and pic due tomorrow PM me your vote so it's easier for me to keep up with the votes and then I will let everyone know where to post.

 

[Snackimals]

-i do count on curly hair on our babies... and PRAY for tan skin. its a 50/50... we both have lighter complected family members... and dark skinned as well. ideally, if one took after my dad and had badass dark skin and jet black straight hair: I'd be in LOVE

 

[LillyTame]

I've had one dream about me having kids...it was a girl about 10, a boy around 6 and a newborn boy! All biracial too, so I'm assuming they are OH's

OH and I have always been overweight so I do worry about them being over weight. My dad's side of the family and OH's mom and sister are plus size too.

OH thinks he has a big nose but I LOVE his nose! I always imagine baby with his elfin nose and his green eyes, with my brown skin.

 

[txbiscuit]

I will stalk the baby pictures challenge, but I don't really have access to baby pictures of me. (I do have some of OH.) I found out a couple of years that what I thought were my baby pictures were pictures of my sister - my parents apparently didn't take very many of Second Baby and gave me some of my sister when I needed pics for a school project.

OH and I are both extremely pale (with the kind of skin that might get freckles, but won't ever tan) and we both had reddish curly hair as kids (mine was strawberry blonde and his was the color of Lauren Ambrose's) so I assume we'll have a pasty ginger baby. I hope she gets OH's brown eyes and athleticism and my thick hair. I hope she gets a recessive nose from way back in the family tree, but I have a feeling she may end up with a big schnoz.

 

[Snackimals]

also can be a stalker... not too many baby pics of me, if any. Mr. Snack: YES! but, me? not so much

 

[LillyTame]

Awww....no pics of my two main amigas! Ok, then we wont make it official then. I will post a pic or two of OH and me as babies in my journal tomorrow and anyone else that wants to can post in my journal too

 

[Snackimals]

Sorry Lil.
My mom moved us outta el Mexico like, over night, no momentos. So, my only pics are 5yrs old and up. The maybe 3-4 baby pics I have are super low quality, and I'm more of the 'photo bomb' in the background of someone elses picture

(i know. i know. i should ask my dad bout pictures... but im gunna be so bummed if he says he also doesnt have them, since he stayed behind in Mex. im not ready for that)

 

[Snackimals]

im an ubber cute 5 year old though!!!

 

[LillyTame]

Well that would work...I do believe I said "baby/child" photos! And was totally planning on posting a photo of me in like 1st grade I think

 

[MIZZYD]

I have pix, luckily when we were getting married we did a video with our pix growing up so we have some!! =)

As for worries about how our kids can turn out, I am afraid that any of my kids may have my mother in law's personality. She is heartless and rude and does not care if she hurts people's feelings. She is not humble an she is careless, IDK but that is what I am afraid of. As for looks Both DH and I have ugly noses, lol.

 

[Twag]

Sorry I don't have any baby pictures of me - it was just me and my Mum until I was 4 and we were too poor to own a camera and tbh there really are not many of me as a child just not big picture people (I hope to be better once mine comes along and my Mum is better with pictures now my niece's and nephews are here!) also have no access to DH's pictures either!

DH and I always discuss what parts of each of our bodies etc we want our children to have like my nose but DH's long slim frame, my hair etc etc We both kind of hope that our babies will look like my niece & nephew from my youngest sister just gorgeous babies and now children (they looked like my Dad as babies ) but as my Dad is not my biological Dad I don't think it will happen so it is all kind of wait and see

All of our children will be super cute ladies

 

[ClandestineTX]

@Mrs. Biscuit: I suffer from second child, significantly fewer photos, too! Ironically, my brother doesn't give a shit about family photos and there are 1,000's of HIM.

I had this fear, too. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a smidge grateful they'll never meet her and she won't have the opportunity to rub off on them. Mine was a manipulative narcissist, wasn't fun at all.

 

[Fezzle]

Hi all! I am currently working away from home and have the most rubbish internet connection ever, but wanted to say hi. I'm sort of TTC now- I'm sort of on Day 4 now and BDing will commence once I'm back at home! I've been recording temperatures (I'm using ovufriend) and taking all my vitamins.

I was the first child, and conceived after a couple years of trying (I was a clomid baby) so there are photos me from every time I moved as an infant. My OH was adopted though, and was in foster care until he was 9 months old, so he doesn't have any photos of himself as a young baby. Based on what we were both like as children though, we are guessing our children will be blonde and skinny. I hope they have his height though- I'm an average 5'4" but he's about 6'1".

 

[Ameli]

Yay, Fezzle! Moving on to TTC!
