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

[teacup]

Hi all! Woohoo 6 months! I'm so excited!!

Teacup: my oh is from the uk like me but we went to Florida for my 21st and we love the place - cant wait to take our bubba there!!

My DF has just been offered a new job which he starts on April 2nd - its only ever so slightly more money and he's turned down a promotion of sorts at his current job to take the new one which was a bit of an iffy decision for us to make but his current job prospects are kind of dead end as they've been promising him a promotion for 2 years now & just keep messing him around but this new job has a possibility of good progression for him as well as much better workin hours for when we have a family so we've taken the plunge and he's gone for it. Fingers crossed it pays off how we hope it will!

Hope all goes well! It sounds like he made the right decision with his job. Let us know how he gets on. Roll on September!

Yeah I have a good feeling that its going to work out ok actually its put a few of our plans back a bit - things like we won't be moving before we have the baby unless it takes us ages to conceive but that isn't such a bad thing we live with my parents currently for financial & health reasons (they have some issues of late which meant it made more sense for us to be here) but we have a whole separate extension to the house with separate entrance etc so we're actually going to be really sad to move, having a baby here wouldn't be an issue til they got a bit older so I refuse to put off TTC just to sort a house out first. Baby comes first over house I'm afraid lol! We're in a good situation financially and in every other way so not having bought our own house yet doesn't bother us as much as it seems to bother some other people around us! (ie the inlaws!)

Awww we don't have our own house either. But we are happy renting at the moment, we really love our place - we just hope our landlords don't decide to sell it soon!

Do any of you girls watch One Born Every Minute? I'm watching episode one on 4oD and it's really stressful! Most episodes make me really broody but this one is freaking me out a bit! I am always close to tears when the baby is born.

 

[dizzybaby]

Yeah where we live renting is about a third more expensive than paying a mortgage so we'd be silly to move to rent really when we pay practically nothing to live here and we're happy here. If we werent happy then we'd consider renting but living where we do enables us to drive the car we drive, have the wedding we wanted etc so staying here to save for our mortgage is the best plan at the minute.

I love OBEM! I always have to stop myself crying when the babys are born - the worst ones are where the baby doesn't cry instantly oh god they make my heart pound thats my worst fear it just seems like an eternity!

 

[teacup]

I bet I'll start freaking out when it gets to 4 months to go! Not long left! Probably something work wise will come up and prevent us TTC though... boo hoo! I shall stay positive! How is everyone else doing?

 

[brenn09]

Things are going great here- lots of work, school, friends, and baby showers! We're figuring out some insurance stuff over here, so I'm also worried we'll have to push back ttc... but staying optimistic until we know for sure! Fingers crossed insurance comes through for us!

How's the waiting going for everyone?

 

[divinebliss]

Hi I would like to join, we are waiting to start trying again in august or september. We recently miscarried (9/25/11) so we've just been waiting on the right time that we both can agree on. I'm excited and just trying to prepare my body and enjoy life without children because there's no going back once I have a child (I doubt that I would truly ever want to when my little one gets here) . Well hopefully I will fit right in!!

 

[brenn09]

Welcome! This particular thread is a lot of fun and everyone is so supportive!

 

[Sam 121]

Hi Ladies, I should hopefully all being well start trying start of December. Hope you are all doing well with your wait! xx

 

[kwills55]

Hi everyone!

We are also waiting until September so that we are in a better place financially and because we are going to Australia on holiday in September and I wouldnt want to be too pregnant when we went (Just in case we were to fall pregnant straight away!!)
It seems like a long way away but this year is flying by already!

My husband and I got married last July and have been together for 6 years He is just as broody as me at the moment (he wasnt at all until after we got married and then it was like a switch changed in his head!) and we have decided that I will come off the pill at the start of September eeeek! Exciting!

In the meantime I am going to make it my mission to lose weight and get healthier while Im waiting... Anyone else want to go on a weight loss mission with me? I want to lose around a stone or so... xxx

 

[brenn09]

I'm trying to be healthier, too! Honestly though I don't need to lose more than a pound or two- isn't 1 stone 14ish pounds? I'm in the US, sorry!

I have been working out at least twice a week to strengthen my core, which is weak weak weak according to my physical therapist! That happens w/ back surgery though! So I'm using my last months to get stronger so that I won't have as many problems with back pain as I might have. I do have a really very very hard time staying motivated though... ugh. I HATE working out.

I also read "Get Ready to Get Pregnant," which is a book I found on Amazon to help guide a woman to eating properly before ttc. I printed the list of foods out and pasted it on the fridge to remind myself!

I keep telling myself, it's all for baby

 

[kwills55]

Yep, a stone is 14 pounds... Oooh were there any other tips in the book? I almost wish I could have a picture of what our newborn would look like and stick it everywhere to keep me motivated!! Hehe xxx

 

[brenn09]

Oooh, a pic of our newborn would be a great motivator now!

On the review from Amazon it says:

His expert advice includes :
Ten brain foods you should eat more
Ten toxic foods to avoid
Ten steps to strengthen your stress resilience
Ten steps to tune up your immune system
Ten steps to detoxify your environment
And much more!

It was a pretty good book, even a small section for OH although it wasn't all that helpful for him! After I wrote my reply earlier, I went and worked out- I made myself do the whole thing & not cheat on the moves (it's on the ps3)! I think I'm already sore

Hello Ladies!!! I'd love to join all of you in awaiting our TTC dates!!! I'm hoping to get my ever so loving (most of the time) DH to agree to start TTC sometime between Sept & Dec. He wants to wait 6 MONTHS after I get off BC to start trying so I'm going to try to talk to him next week about getting off my BC & start preparing my body for a beautiful little baby! Poor man, he's so weary of the effects of BC on me & our future baby. I've been WTT for a little over a year now and I'm definitely going nuts!!!!!!

Good luck to all of us!!!!!!

 

[calliebaby]

I would like to join too! We agreed initially to ttc in June, but with my new job, I thought it wise to wait a little longer. So, September it is! If we don't catch by December, then we will be waiting until June because there are far too many Oct, Nov, Dec babies in our families.

Baby dust to you & all you ladies!!!!!!!!!
