Welcome to the ttc in fall group..........AUTUMN ACORNS!!!!

[pixie23]

My feeling is that maybe they don't realize how not fun it is to know that your family is ready to grow, like someone is missing. My mom has been the worst, but they got pg in high school so I don't think they know what it's like to feel this ready. She always tells me you should travel first, and on and on.
All I've really wanted for my life is to be happily married and to be a mom. Her goals were different than mine, therefore different priorities. I'd understand if there were reason to believe that we weren't ready but those aren't ever her reasons why we should wait. She's not just being a concerned parent who is trying to make me think it through, she has crossed the line into trying to be controlling.

Like babymaybe said, the FB group is private so none of your normal friends or family can see what you post there! The one rule is to not post anything about babies on each others walls, save it for private messages or the private group!

Makes sense to me!! I´d actually wouldnt mind people posting on my wall, its just that many people in my family have given me the speech of not having kids yet... Im almost 28, DH is almost 30, we`ve been together for 3 years and 1 year ago we married and we are in a good economical situation, so it makes me angry they just wont respect my desicion!! but always glad I can count on you, girls!!

Everyone sure does have a strong opinion don't they?
That's why I don't want anyone else to know we're trying, I've heard wayyy too much negative. It's just hard for me to not share with people when I'm so excited about it.

you know, most of my aunts married because they were pregnant, and most of their marriages ended up in divorce. If people get married for whatever reason, I will always be ok with their desicions, but I know their lives were not easy, and children will be children!! I know it wont be easy to me, but DH and I want a baby so much, and I think thats something that has to be respected! I dont say anything back, because I know they always come with the best intention!!

NOW.. thank God, my cousins and a friend or 2, who just had babies, they all support me and say is the best thing that can happen to you! I love to be encouraged!!

Don't you love when people are like: "Don't have kids yet!! You will regret it...live your life! blah blah blah"

So....what if my whole life I've dreamed of being a mom?! Plus....won't I have more money when I'm like 60 and retired? I plan on being a fabulous, traveling retired woman like my precious Grandma! Right now, we're still paying off our mortgage and fixing up our house!!

I think if you´ve always wanted to be a mom, then just do it! having lots of love to give I think is all you need! plus! I love your idea of being like your grandma! isnt that just so cool??

I can feel related with your situation!!! my mom had my sis at age 20 and me at 22, and we werent planned... my sis and I are like we say in spanish "una metida de pata"... dunno how translate it... anyways, my mom has just asked me if Im sure.. but you know.. with that tone of voice I know its something serious, but DH and I want that so much!!

But you know, once they know you´re expecting, they always get happy with the news, and babies are always welcomed! dunno why, but thats the way it is, and that is a great thing!

[MackMomma8]

I agree with you Pola. My family said since we have had so many miscarriages then we should just have a break and go overseas, by this time they didn't know they we weren't trying and that we had planned a trip to Europe. I was getting sick of telling people to mind their own business and look after their own lives, and it was getting talked about at every family function.

AFM had a wonderful day with all the family for Father's Day and my birthday, which is tomorrow (5th Sep), and even got a breast milk shower from my step sister by accident while she was feeding my gorgeous niece Amelia. Hope you all had a wonderful father's day...xxx

Morning ladies!

Well... I've got some exciting news! OH and I had a TTC chat yesterday cos I told him I was most prob fertile atm. We were originally going to wait another week to start trying cos, even though our nurse told us it would be fine to start TTC as soon as we finish our malaria tablets (which we did last week), I'd read on the internet that "Ideally, you should wait 2 weeks after". But we figured that if a professional told us that it's fine and cos it'd be unlikely that we'd conceive straight away, we'd forget about the waiting for another week so.... we are officially TTC now!

Last night we and according to my yourdays account I should be fertile between last Friday and this Wednesday! and my new ticker says I’m due to ov in 2 days! I know we haven't had the whole of this cycle to properly try, but I'm just so happy we are actually trying fullstop!
