Age: 28

Relationship status: married with 2 kids

How long until TTC: unsure. If we end up trying, within 1 year.

Reasons for WTT: We feel like we want a 3rd child but I haven't completely decided yet, I guess. In a way, we're waiting to solidify our decision.

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: I need to re-evaluate the idea I have for our future and make sure that it includes a third child. I've been set on the idea that it didn't but very recently started to change my mind to the point that I consider myself more "WTT" than done/closed shop.

How many children would you like: 2 or 3 - already have 2!

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? I don't really, but for my oldest who is so loving and helpful, I'd want a girl (since she already has a little brother).

[Lululuneau]

Name: Lulu
Age: 23
Relationship status: happily married with 2 perfect lil babies

How long until TTC: several years...at least 5-7

Reasons for WTT: my first 2 are less than a year apart, my pregnancy was a nightmare I had a premie & a 1 year old. I could not handle that happening again so I opted for a tubal ligation, but now that they're older and "easier" I have realized I was so young when I tied my tubes!!!!! That even if in 10 years I decided I wanted to try again I would only be in my early 30s. Lots of people wait to have their First babies in their 30s. 30 is still a good age to have a baby! Then the more I thought about, how much I loved my sister with our 10 year age gap. How much I loved being a part of a big family with 2 sisters and a brother. I just don't feel like I'm done yet. But I do want a big age gap this time so I want to wait until my oldest is at least 8

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: I want to finish getting my degree. I had to spend so much of both pregnancies on bed rest I had to quit school. Then it was just so much going on with 2 babies so close together. I decided to postpone going back. I would also like to be working in a job that pays enough to get a reversal instead of trying with IVF. And I want to get my old body back. So education, a good job, and my pre-baby body.

How many children would you like: well I've already got 2. But I think I want to have one more then adopt one more too bringing our grand total to 4 kiddos.

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? No, I've got one of each already. This next one will just be a tie breaker lol and my other 2 will be so much older, I doubt they'll mind either way.
Finding out the gender or team yellow? Team yellow. I found out both times I was pregnant before. I would like to do something different next time around (;
Any names you like? Lots. That was always our problem. I love the "not actually names" names but he loves the John, Beth, Sue type names.
