Can I add... OMG you are all so young! I feel like a fossil in comparison!

 

[MariposaTam]

Definitely not a fossil! Lol-after all you are WTT for #3 and I think there is nothing wrong with wanting an age gap, we do too! If we weren't "lucky" to have 2 of us able to get pregnant/give birth we might be in your situation for our #2 because my partner is 32 now but we won't be able to TTC until she is 34. Fortunately I'm 4 years younger and can have baby #2 for us before I'm 35 if all goes well. Welcome to WTT!

 

[BabyBabbler]

Can I add... OMG you are all so young! I feel like a fossil in comparison!

Hahaha, wiser! Good one! Nice to meet you both. Just realised I didn't add my name... Hi, I am Anna.

[Blueberri]

Babybabble, how old are you?

 

[Solstyce]

Name: Suzanne

Age: 34

Relationship status: Married, 3 years (second marriage)

How long until TTC: 3 months (June)

Reasons for WTT: Waited for DH to get a job. I wanted to TTC when he was unemployed (he could have stayed home with the baby), but he wasn't ready for a baby. I have been the breadwinner since we've been married. Just got off birth control and started taking pre-natals. I want to give it 3 months to increase egg health.

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: I'd like to lose some weight- 15 pounds or so would be nice. I'm eating healthier, drinking 64 oz of water a day, and walking 3 miles a day to do this.

How many children would you like: This will be my last pregnancy, so I'd like twins, but 1 healthy baby is fine. DH is a twin.

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? With my first 2 pregnancies I wanted boys because that's what my ex-husband wanted at the time. I didn't really know what I wanted. I got girls. I love my girls and was so blessed to have girls because the ex let me have sole custody (because they are girls- basically he thinks girls belong with moms).

Now my DH wants a boy since we have my 2 girls already. I just don't like the pressure because I can't control what I have. . . So I keep saying it will be another girl. My mom and dad had 5 girls, no boys. I think I can only make girls. We'll see.

Finding out the gender or team yellow? Team yellow- unfortunately. I like to be prepared but DH wants it to be a surprise.

Any names you like?
Sebastian
Samantha
Tristan
Cora

DH wants to name a boy Xavier. He doesn't agree with me on any of the names I come up with. Honestly I don't really care because I got to pick my daughters' names so I figure he can pick this one.
