WTT for #1 - trying in Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec 2012

Getting so soon now! I've got prenatal tablets for hubby and I to take (his and hers cos he wanted to be involved!) And we start taking them Monday which is 3 months before I come off the pill! :-) Eeek! Very exciting, but agree I'm also a little nervous about money etc xxx
 
Yeah I work for Specsavers, definatly pays to work for a bigger company, I calculated by mat. pay and its not too bad at all... if I can I'm gonna work up to the day I'm about to pop, I'm on my feet all day though so dont know how long I'd manage it. Rather have more time with baby than time sitting at home super-fat haha.
 
Well, I'm going to move myself over here. After much broodiness and shaking my finger at myself for over planning and being a control freak, I've decided to go with the flow.

So, it'll be September/October TTC date.
 
Anybody else starting to feel a bit scared? For the first time I'm actually scared about having a baby lol. I suppose it comes with the territory since its almost a reality. I've had a long chat with my partner tho and he's helped ease my worries. I know we could be in a better position but that would take quite a while and I do want to be a fairly young mum. My friend has just given birth last night so I guess this has got me thinking babies all over again!
I know what you mean Brenn09 I'm excited about when they start getting older and you start to see who they are turning out like and what interests them. I'd love to sit down and draw pictures with my little one. Simple but I always remember how much I loved it as a kid! Also kids have such imaginations. My cousin miles is 4 and he tells the most wild stories about fairies and adventures he's been on (but hasnt actually been on them) I hope that's not a bad thing lol but it is sweet.

I know exactly how you feel! I have these moments of being terrified, mostly it's a financial thing, and partly my family not being very happy with the idea of having kids young (I'll be 22! Hopefully!).
They believe I'm throwing my life away, that I should move to a better house, buy a better car, go on more exotic holidays, get a career under my belt, etc, etc. And I hate that they feel that way, my mother was never broody and wasn't particularly bothered about children. So she simply doesn't understand how it feels to want children as badly as I do.
Because my friends don't want kids young either (if they don't already have them by accident) I feel like I have absolutely no one to talk to. DH tries to understand, but my heart literally aches for children. I've never wanted anything more than this!

I feel like, 'I love my house', 'my car is just fine thanks!', 'I've been on some amazing holidays, and why can't I do that with children?', 'I don't want my career yet as I want to be a stay at home mum!'....

My only real concern is finances, I will probably need to work a little part time job after the baby is more just to have some savings. But as long as we're careful, we will be more than okay!

I can't remember who mentioned it, but someone wrote 'I don't want to be pregnant, I just want to bring my baby home now.'
I disagree, I can't wait to be pregnant. To have my baby bump and relish in all pregnant-ness! I've promised myself that I will not complain publically about anything in my pregnancy (unless it's serious!) as I've wanted this for so long, and will really apprieciate the importance of being pregnant (If that makes sense!).

I wrote it (I think...) but I know what you mean!

It isn't that I don't want to be pregnant and relish in that fact but it is that I've been waiting so long and the dream of being pregnant and having a big ol' belly.. well, it isn't what I want- I just want our baby. I've dreamed for a very long time about getting to ttc, being pregnant, getting our BFP, buying special items for our baby, our celebration at our baby shower and all that.. but one day I realized that all of that.. I don't really want it, the attention and celebration and preparation- although I'll get to have it- I am really just ready for our baby and I get really sad thinking it'll take 9-10 months to bring our baby home after we get pregnant!

I'm saying pregnancy isn't the dream- our baby is.

True enough I guess!
It's not the attention for me though, it's knowing that I'm growing my own child (I make it sound like a plant, but can't think of a better way to put it! ahaha). And experiencing what it is to be pregnant.
But I can't wait for that day either, when I give birth and my own precious little one is handed to me. It will be the proudest moment of my life :)
 
Whoops, I wasn't meaning you or I or anyone else is in it for the attention! If that is what we wanted, none of us would be waiting to ttc!

I think something is being lost in translation, because I want to be pregnant, too! I just wish it could happen sooner, so that I could have my baby sooner. The thought of waiting even more after we get pregnant... Ugh, it seems unfair!

Yeah, I know how you feel. My DH and I have kinda been NTNP for the past 6months. I thought it would happen right away, but it simply didn't. Now it's getting closer to my Dissertation and final exams at university, I decided that I didn't want to put my degree in jeopardy. So this time I really do have to wait until September. Sighhh. Good luck with your WTT and TTC Brenn! :hugs:

Congratulations on deciding on a TTC date Gunnhilde! :happydance: I have added you to the fabulous list!

Oooh that sounds good Chloe! Sadly I'm self employed so I don't get any maternity pay. :cry: But maybe I will qualify for the standard government maternity pay (at least I hope so!) We'll also try to save save save money between now and when the baby is born (which will be hard with a wedding and honeymoon coming up!)

Is anyone else self employed and knows much about maternity pay entitlement? I pay national insurance, and tax etc.

So has anyone else realized that June is almost halfway over? That hit me this morning. Where has this month gone?

SO started talking about wanting a baby "soon" last night, complete with pulling out the pack of receiving blankets that he had bought. I'm pretty sure he actually bought them as a gift for someone else and never gave them to them. It wouldn't be the first time.

I *almost* suggested that we could start trying next week when this pack of BC runs out. I'm pretty sure he would have gone with it, but I'd like us to have one last baby-free summer...maybe... If he brings it up again I can't make any guarantees...
 
Sugaree, I have been off the BCP since November, and the last month or so DH has mentioned several times that he's ready (in other words), and asked me several times if I'm pregnant (as this has been a super long, what I'm calling anovulatory, cycle). He has been asking in an excited, hopeful way. He also quit asking if it was "okay" during BDing... sooo, I'm just going with the flow now. I'd ideally like to wait until the end of September, but would be thrilled if things just happened! So I guess, in a sense, wer're part-time NTNPing.. hah.
 
Im getting really excited. We have now been looking at things online together. It makes me all giddy when the hubby wants to look at things.
