**Waiting and Waiting...2018 Mommies To Be! <3**

[swedengirl]

Thanks for sharing your stories kksy9b!

You have totally got me leaning to team yellow now!

I hadn't thought about the moment my fiance can be the one to tell me. I think that must be a really special moment!

I have been considering it. I am a solo mama so being able to look and find out is intriguing but I think I would want to know if it was another girl so I can deal with it if you know what I mean? This was would be my last baby and I would adore a little boy.

 

[KalonKiki]

Darkriver - I completely understand that! That's part of the reason I had to know last time. If I'd had another boy I would have much rather worked through any issues with gender disappointment during pregnancy than after I gave birth. That way hopefully by the time I gave birth I could have simply just fallen in love with my new little boy after getting all of the other feelings out of the way.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I have been reading lots of posts first which has helped me to reassure myself that I can do it! We just feel it is the right time and are quite excited but also at the same time quite nervous. I am also self employed so this adds to the mix but we are saving well to ensure we can get through on just my husbands wages.

I am coming off of the pill this Thursday and planning to TTC from April for a 2018 baby

Hi Peonyrose!

You sound like me - nervous and excited all at once.Welcome to the group, it should be a fun journey all together!

Hi all,

I kind of stumbled upon this forum and I'm so thrilled to meet some like-minded people.

We have been married for two years and are going to begin trying in May. It will be our first and I have no gender preference, however, I think my husband would prefer a boy. He wants that a protective big brother for our other kids. We are hoping for a March/April 2018 delivery because I'm a teacher and my maternity leave would go right into the summer.

I know there is no way to be sure about the timing, but I am a huge planner! I will definitely be finding out the gender as soon as possible. I have tons of respect to those of you who wait. I could never do that!

I have wanted to be a mom for my whole life, and I think we have waited about as long as I can stand. We are in a great place financially and in our marriage, we are just waiting so the birth can (hopefully) be timed with my job. Hurry up May!!

My best friend told me this morning she is expecting TWINS!! 8.5 weeks along and due in September. I am so so happy for her. And not going to lie, it really makes me want another. Just confusing because I thought we were DONE but I can't shake the idea of another

Congrats to your friend!

 

[ashleyg]

I feel like I haven't popped on in a while! Should I still be on this thread if we are thinking of TTC starting in March?!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Can I join please? We are currently ntnp ~ but officially seeing our IVF dr to try for baby #2 in June this year.
Im so excited.

Kk - Congratulations to your friend! I'm sure as time goes on you're going to be more sure. I definitely want another one, but what I'm unsure about is the timing. I'm starting to think I want to try when DS2 is one. Don't know why. I'm sticking to my original time frame at the moment, but I have a feeling once he gets close to being one I'm going to have a lot of baby thoughts.

Welcome to the new ladies! I hope we all can use this time to get to know one another.

What has everyone been up to? I've just been hanging out with my boys. I'm eager for spring to come around. I really want to get out and go for walks.

Can I come in? I'm probably (well, definitely) going to (at least) be a 2018 mummy. We're waiting to TTC. We're waiting on my husband getting a job but we will hopefully know very soon. Then we're going on our honeymoon in April which isn't going to be very pregnancy friendly so we're waiting till at least May. I am desperate to get started though! I can't stop thinking about TTC and babies.

Welcome.
Today my dinky baby rolled over 3 times! I want her to stay little forever.

AliJo - I'm with you on eagerly awaiting spring. I love getting out for walks, but the last couple of months have been too icy and cold most days. Otherwise I mostly work and exercise. My husband is a doctor half way through his residency training so he doesn't have a lot of free time so I try to fill up my own schedule as much as possible.

 

[AliJo]

Karo - We live in the same state so I know what you mean on the weather!

 

[KalonKiki]

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been absent, it's just been crazy busy on my end.

Hello and welcome to the new ladies! I think I got everyone down correctly on the list. Please let me know if I missed anything or if you ever need to change anything! :wave:

Kaity - Congrats to your friend! How exciting it would be to be expecting twins.

Ashley - Of course you belong here hun! I have the list set up for anyone that wanted to NTNP/TTC from January onward.

My DD is going to be 11 months on the 3rd!
I can't believe how fast my babies are growing up. I think that's why I'm not feeling super broody or impatient for another baby right now. It goes so fast, I just want to enjoy this time knowing there will be another baby.

 

[swedengirl]

Hey! Just want to say Hello to the new ladies! So nice to have you all here going through a similar thing.

MrsB17 - He is doing Family Medicine! In the US residency comes after med school and that is when you specialize so his 3 year residency is training him to be a family doctor. He gets paid to do it too, which is nice

AliJo- Right?!Some days it is just so cold. Last year it really warmed up quick by early March so I am hoping for the same this year.
