WTT July 2012... who's with me?

[MommyMika]

We decided we will try in July 2012!

Reasons being:

We *should* be in a new house by then
The baby would be born in the spring, which we loved with Malachi, our first (no snowsuits on newborns, yay! lol)
Malachi will be 2 years old... good age difference me thinks!

Annnnd the last one is funny....

We believe we conceived our son after a night of drinking at the annual beerfest.... thought it would be funny to attempt to carry on the tradition (as I seem to be very fertile) HAHA!


Anyone else WTT around July 2012? We could be buddies

Hey!
I just finished ttc for 1 cycle with no sucess. I had wanted my babies close in age but didn't want to take off another chunk of maternity leave time during the school year. (I'm a teacher.) But if I have baby in Spring 2013, I should be able to afford it.

Orignially, DH and I wanted babies really close together or really far apart. Now that I know that I can't have them as close together as I wanted, I don't know if I can wait for the "really far apart." 2 years apart seems scary since she's be singient but maybe prone to jealous, but I'm sure it'll be ok. DH pointed out to me "it's all on how you raise them." Sorry to ramble.

Buddies?

 

[YoungOptimist]

I am wanting a spring baby too! Let's see how it all works out. xx

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hi!

 

[MommyMika]

Welcome ladies !!

Spring is the best time for BABIES!

I know what you mean Mouse Chickey, I'm a little worried about a 2 year gap as I hope Malachi isn't in the 'terrible twos' !!

I wanted them a little farther apart, and my husband wanted them close together, so 2 years is our compromise!

Buddies?

Definitely !!

 

[mouse_chicky]

Yay! Nice to meet you two ladies.

Young Optimist, will this be your first?


My other concern with the 2 year gap is carrying lo to and fro when I'm big and preggo, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when it comes.

 

[YoungOptimist]

Hi! Yes, this will be my first.
I lost an angel in July, but I'm trying not to remember and moving forward and focusing on the future.
For the time being, OH and I have decided to wait until the time feels better but I'm excited/nervous about TTC. I would like to be a mommy more than anything though and I have faith that everything will work out the way it's supposed to in the end. It would be nice to fall into a healthy pregnancy this June or July.

 

[mouse_chicky]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I hope we all fall pregnant quickly next summer.

 

[YoungOptimist]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I hope we all fall pregnant quickly next summer.

It's okay.
Fingers crossed we will.

 

[mouse_chicky]

So just out of curiosity, what are you all doing for birth control during the wait?

On Sunday, I'll start back on the pill (Seasonelle,) the one with only 4 periods a year. It'll be weird taking it again.

 

[YoungOptimist]

I'm on the pill right now. I was on the depo shot for quite awhile but it started messing with the body and I went off of it, NTNP for some time, BFP then miscarried, then went on the pill to get my cycle back on track. The pill I'm on is called Junel Fe and I like it a lot. You get your period every month but, that's what I was going for. My cousin/best friend has used Seasonelle without any problems too. x

 

[mouse_chicky]

I've heard that from a lot of people about the depo shot. I wonder what about it messes with people. I could never take shots----I hate needles.

I'm going to have to wait another week to start my pill since my pharmacy screwed up. It'll will be nice though knowing exactly when AF's coming.

 

[mouse_chicky]

You girlies okay? Kind of quiet here.

Waiting is the hardes part . . .

 

[YoungOptimist]

So, emotionally we are so ready for a baby, but every single time I plan out the finances and everything, it seems like we will never be able to afford it.
And I've realized that if we wait until after our wedding, it will be forever until we can have baby. But if we have baby now, it will be forever until we can have our wedding and honeymoon, if we ever would after baby.
BUT, I'm exceptionally broody right now. But it is seeming like nothing will ever work out... So idk about TTC dates, it's so frustrating. Ughhh, sorry for the rant.

 

[mouse_chicky]

Sorry, hun.

I know they always say if you wait until you can afford to have a baby, you'll never have one, but I know logisticly there's a lot to think about. How long have you and your fiance been together? Is the wedding already planned? I hope things work out the way you want.

My dh are still talking about dates too. So much to think about. We may try 1 more month and then wait until next June. We'll see.

That's exactly right. I hate being realistic sometimes!
We have only been together for 2 years, but it feels like forever. We've been through so much together and I could not imagine not being with him, he's my everything. I can't wait until I can say we've been together for 70 years!
We've only been engaged for 8 months, but we're movin fast. I've been spending a lot of time wedding planning lately, but since we have a ton of saving to do, it will probably be almost 2 years until we can tie the knot. I'm also teater-tottering back in forth from wanting a baby RIGHT NOW, to wanting to wait until our honeymoon. I really really really want to be able to enjoy cancun at least once in my lifetime.

What kind of things are stopping you and your dh? x

 

[LauraLoo1612]

Hi I was wondering if I can join you guys?

Me and my DP are going to start NTNP from July 2012. I'm hoping for a spring / summer baby. Will have paid off my finances by then, will finish evenings at College (work full time as well) and me and my DP will be more settled as we moved in together 7 months ago. I may even be engaged by then too hehe.

 

[mouse_chicky]

Welcome LauraLoo! It looks like a lot of exciting things are happening for you. (I finished my degree right before we had our first, and I'm glad. I couldn't imagine doing classes with an itty bitty one.) I hope you get your ring soon.

Young Optimist, I wouldn't give up on the wedding of your dreams, if I were you, but at the same time, as you plan and the closer it gets, you may get a better feel for what parts of it are more important to you than others---and thus find ways to save. For instance, are you in love with a designer dress so much that maybe you could use less expensive potted plants for centerpieces? Oh, and Cancoon! Fabulous, I'm jealous. Enjoy. (But then again, there's always a sitter.) I'm no help at all.

My dh and I are waiting because I'm a teacher and want to kind of plan around the school year. Since I just took off 3 months in February, I couldn't afford that again so soon. But if we wait to try until next year, we'll have saved for me to take off again. Although, I'll admit, because my bc pills came in late, DH and I decided to try 1 more month. So maybe I don't belong here. Broodiness is a b##### sometimes. My logic is if it doesn't happen this time, we'll definitely wait until June/July.

 

[YoungOptimist]

Hi LauraLoo!

Broodiness is a b##### sometimes.

You could say that again. This week is just terrible. I want a LO so bad right now. But oh well. I do want to save for our honeymoon. My wedding is going to be tiny and I don't want to spend more than $3,000 for EVERYTHING together. Really, I'd prefer to spend a lot less. The place for the ceremony is $2600 & the dress I want is $600 and it's all so expensive though and I can see it adding up all over the place.. I could raise a baby for less than I know the wedding & honeymoon costs are going to add up to be. But, WTT is a good idea. So this is where I should be.

 

[Lui246]

Me and OH have decided we are going to start trying again june/july 2012 i cant wait!! I have been so broody since having my first but OH talked me into waiting until next year. It'l be nice to compare notes with you all when the time comes!
