Waiting and waiting...2016 mommies-to-be!

[Symphony7]

Well, i was looking through the waiting 'til 2014 and 2015 threads and thought, "hey! They started both of those 2 years ago!" So I thought it was high time we had a waiting until 2016 thread as some of us have less than two years depending on when you are planning on TTC.

I have been super broody lately...probably because I am coming up on the end of the semester and it is the same for me every semester. Somehow finals/final papers come around and my brain says "NO!" and all I want to do is procrastinate and not do my work. Hehe. Well, my procrastination this semester appears to be in the form of baby-dreaming.

I just finished paper 1 of the 4 I have left to complete so I figured I would reward myself with a break.

So, who else out there is waiting to try in 2016? I can hardly believe it's 2014 and almost May, I can't believe how quickly times goes. Still seems like ages away though. Might be fun to get to know each other and maybe we will all be together on the TTC forums.

So, go ahead, introduce yourselves!

Hi! I'm Kaity and I suppose I'm back to WTT I was here the beginning of last year until we started TTC in the spring. Thankfully it was a short journey and we got pregnant on the 3rd cycle. My son was born 9 days ago and is the light of my life. We are hoping to start TTC for #2 late spring/early summer 2016. We are waiting for a couple reasons- to have time to enjoy just our DS and we will either be moving into or building our new house next year. We want to get that process done and be settled for a bit before trying again. My pregnancy was so wonderful with my DS though and I'm looking forward to going through it again!

It sounds like you have a great goal in getting school finished up first. What are you studying? And I know it seems like its forever off... I was waiting for #1 for 5 1/2 years after we got married.... and it felt both like forever and gone in the blink of an eye. But its so worth the wait and you'll appreciate the time with just you and your SO

........
Here is our list! Please comment on the thread if you would like any information updated and I will do so! I can't wait until we can start rooting our members on in their TTC/Pregnancy journeys!

[babydino]

I had joined the WTT to 2014 page, looking much more likely that I belong in here. We get married in July so just now I have that to distract me.

 

[Symphony7]

Congrats on your beautiful boy!

I am going to school for elementary education. So it doesn't help my broodiness that I am in child development classes and schools all day long. Hehe. I am definitely enjoying it being just me and hubby now though. Although we have five fur-children so we are never really ever alone. Good practice.

 

[bornthiswayxo]

I'm probably waiting until at least 2016 now... I have a very complicated situation as to why I'm waiting. I'd love to have a baby now but it is probably not possible for quite a while

 

[WhiteKhocol8]

We will be TTC in 2016 if things go to plan! Fingers crossed. I'm a primary teacher so I spend all day around children too =P broodiness aplenty! I have two friends at work in the same mindset too so that is fun!

 

[kksy9b]

Symphony- can imagine that learning about kids and needing in schools would make you extra broody! What grade level are you hoping to teach after you're done? Wow! 5 for babies! They must keep got busy at home!

Babydino- hi! Sorry to hear that your date has been pushed back but congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Do you have a lot of the planning done?

Bornthisway- welcome! I know that it seems awhile off but it will be here before you know it! I hope that your situation becomes less complicated for you. You can always use the board to vent : flower:

WhiteKhocol- welcome! That is nicw that you have some friends at work who can relate to the broodiness! It's always nice to have people who understand the emotional side of things and and won't just blow your feelings off.

Does anyone have any fun vacations/holidays planned for this year? We are just planning a staycation this year with the baby bit hoping to make it to new York next spring to visit family and introduce Charles to all of his freat-aunts and great grandmother.

 

[Symphony7]

Yay! Glad we have a few ladies on here, I'm sure more will join as we get closer.

We have nothing big planned this year. We went on the cruise from hell in January. I got monsterously ill four days in and was stuck in the cabin for the rest of the trip. Never ever again! I haven't been that sick in years, and I work with children! I am used to getting weird bug but what I caught on that ship was truly awful. So, that was it for us. :/ We can't do any other trips really because my courses go through the entire year all the way to May 2015. So, we are taking a quick camping trip in August up to the mountains. I also am going to see a couple of shows. Should be a nice year, although I like having a big trip in the summer so it'll be a bit of a bummer to have to wait another year.

Next year though, I plan on at least 10 days at the beach to celebrate finishing school! We are going to rent a house down in the Outer Banks and bring the dogs and just sit on the beach! The year after we are hoping to go to Hawaii or Mexico as our baby/conception moon! I love vacation so I like to plan it out in advance.

I love the name Charles btw!

 

[WhiteKhocol8]

We are hoping to go to South Korea in January as I used to live there and I have been wanting to take hubby back to show him where I used to teach and live... Have to somehow make finances work though so that may kill that dream. We will see.

 

[babydino]

hi kksy9b - we are almost all planned, main thing left to do is lose some weight :S it feels like we are never going to round to having the family we want, looked at childcare costs last week and completely freak myself out, I don't understand how people afford it!

Hope everyone is well

 

[WhiteKhocol8]

Babydino look into au pairs - in Australia (at least) they are a more affordable, flexible option than many of the bigger childcare centres. You might have to actively organise more social opportunities or extracurriculars for your LO but I feel that will probably be the way we go - that or family day care (small group care in someone else's home under an umbrella organisation my mother and I have both worked for, about 20 years apart!). The more one-on-one interaction the better, right?

 

[Pandora0814]

I am WTT for #2. I would like to try at the end of this year or early next year but my husband wants to wait awhile so I have a feeling it will be more like 2016. I’m 26 (27 this august) and my husband is 32… I want my last before I’m 30.

I just had my son last June (June 1st, 2013) and I know that I want one more that is my blood. My husband was married when he was younger and already has a daughter (9 years old) but he has now realized how much I have my heart set on another of my own. Since my step-daughter (daughter in my heart) and our son is 9 years apart, I don’t want my son to grow up feeling like an only child. I was an only child and it got lonely.

I do know that we need a bigger house. We have a 2 BR now and with his daughter and our son… we are 1 room short now. So I’m hoping to start saving for that soon!

 

[callmepaola]

Hello, i'm new here and, i'm planning on TTC in 2016, because by then i'll be 19 and hopefully out of college. But my husband is in the military and has a guaranteed job in the CIA so we will be financially stable even if I was a stay at home mom. I know I will be a young mother, but i'm so excited!

 

[WhiteKhocol8]

Hi 2016 TTC/mothers to be!

Getting antsy again as usual - and I thought perhaps a way of getting around it might be to distract myself with a snail mail swap! We might send a letter and a photo introducing ourselves, something little to put away for baby and something to help mum to kill time waiting!

What do you think? Would anyone be interested? I'd be happy to coordinate if anyone is =)

 

[Lizzybee]

I am joining this group as I want to TTC in 2016. Ideally I wanted to be TTC now but OH says 2 years. This is because I had a c/s in march. The consultant said she didn't want to see me back for a year or two to ensure scar healing. OH has taken this to mean two years - that's final. By then I'm worried he will have decided against it totally.
But good luck to all you ladies, I will look forward to reading your stories as you go along.

 

[tverb84]

Hopefully I'll be ttcing in 2016 anything can happen in a two years time.

 

[DazedConfused]

Hi ladies I'm ttc in 2016, hopefully. I'm finishing my midwifery degree in that time and will be ttc at the end of my first year of practice.
Currently have a 3 year old son and would like to avoid to large an age agap but financially looks like I'll have to. Exciting to have a wtt thread! Hi!

 

[Symphony7]

Welcome to the new ladies! It's amazing how quickly 2014 is going, two years will be gone before we know it!

 

[LucyLadyBug]

Hi ladies

If all goes to plan my family will be TTC for our first in 2016. I've always had being ready to try by when I'm 26 as a goal if achievable. At the moment it's looking rather likely financially for the three of us (touch wood), though we have a few other shorter term goals to keep us focused for now.

However, a lot can happen in the next couple of years, and whilst our relationship unit is solid, I fear my career path in particular might get in the way when it comes to TTC. But by then I doubt we will let anything stop us

 

[AdriansMama]

Hello!! Hubby and I are planning to ttc baby #3 in 2016 when Jaxton turns 3. I find myself planning already lol
