Getting To Know You ...getting to know all about yoooooou

[Aimeewaymee]

Hi everyone! Been here twice before so now we are on to a hat trick!

Name:Aimee
Age:27
Relationship status: Engaged 5 years and hopefully a wedding soon! Have started the planning and bought myself a wedding planner. Seems weddings are in the air at the moment my little sister has just got married back in July and now my Mums wedding this January coming.

How long until TTC: January/February 2017
Reasons for WTT: I don't want to be bumpy for my Mums wedding.
Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: Financially we are stable, we both do lots of work, my partner is a builders labourer and I am a Care Assistant for the elderly. Admittedly I would like to find something else where I get more time with my children as I have to work a lot of evenings but guess that is just life. Been doing Slimming World now for 9 weeks and lost 8 lbs, not massive gains which is slowly and surely coming off!
How many children would you like: 3 ideally, but I would love however many as long as me and my partner are both satisfied. Multilple birth would be amazing, we have alot of twins in our families.

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? Would like a boy but I would be happy with another girl. As long as the baby is healthy surely that is all that matters.
Finding out the gender or team yellow? Not sure, we have always found out about our 2 girls, think it would be hard not to find out again.
Any names you like? Farrah, Caleb, Penelope, Eden, Esmee, Astrid.. Mainly girls names.. I think boys names are harder.

How long until TTC: 4 months (May 2013)
Reasons for WTT: we're ready now! waiting until May because my BIL and SIL have given us tubs and tubs worth of baby clothes. Both of their kids were born in March - a boy and a girl - and they waited before finding out gender so we have a lot of neutral clothes up to about 6 mo. My nephew is 6 now and we're still collecting clothes! Hoping to get pg sometime may - aug so the clothes will fit the right season!

Reasons for WTT: We needed to move (check), lose weight (almost check), get our son weaned and STTN (check), allow my hormones to balance after bf'ing and wait for DS to turn 2.

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: finish losing weight! 60 lbs off, 10 to go. Possibly running a half marathon. Also, have a doctor appt in 2 weeks to start getting hormones balanced. They are way over the board and only having a 9 day LP. Its a dealbreaker to trying if its not sorted by April.

How many children would you like:
2

when pg...

Relationship status: Married 9 years, together for 13

How long until TTC: 1 year 10 months (December 2018 at the earliest)

Reasons for WTT: We just had a baby 3 weeks ago so in no rush! I would like to wait until DS is 2 before trying. We also have to decide if we want to try for a girl with a third or stop at two!

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: lots of pregnancy weight to lose. i gained 67 pounds this time...20 is off with 47 to go. DS1 will need to be fully pottytrained, DS2 weaned and STTN, and my hormones balanced after breastfeeding. Would like to do a little bit of traveling between now and then as well (starting with Bora Bora in September!)

How many children would you like:
3...unless we decide we are done with the 2 we already have

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? I wanted 2 boys and got them! If we have another I would like a girl (and DH really wants a girl!)

Finding out the gender or team yellow? Team for sure. We found out with DS1, waited with DS2 and I would want to wait again

[Toomoms]

Name: Rowan
Age: 30
Relationship status: We've been married for two years and together for eight years!

How long until TTC: August 2017, so six months.

Reasons for WTT: Need to graduate and pass the bar before TTC.

How many children would you like: Let's start with one and see how it goes, but I'm very open to multiple children.

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? My wife has a strong preference. She really wants a boy. Gun to my head, I suppose I would prefer a girl. But I truly mean it when I say I will be over the moon happy just to have a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy.

Finding out the gender or team yellow? I absolutely want to find out the gender!!!!!!!!!

Any names you like? Yes, we have a whole list of girls and boys names. For me, finding boys names that we both like has been way easier than girl names. No idea why, but I'm way picker about girl's names. I really like my name and my wife's name, so honestly I wouldn't mind little juniors with our names, but we'll see.
