You know you are broody when...

[OmiOmen]

Finish the sentence "You know you are broody when..." with what you do when you are feeling extra broody. The crazier the better.

For me;
You know you are broody when you look up a video for your local maternity ward...even though you have already stayed in almost every room it shows.

You know you are broody when you start watching one born every minute on 4oD whenever you get the chance.

You know you are broody when... -You cry at adverts that involve children growing up (Cried at the VW advert the other day!)

-Get terribly jealous of every pregnant woman or women with newborns

-You already know what pram you're going to buy (stokke explory)

- You spend your time looking at baby name websites

Just to name a few!!!

Oh... and!
At the moment I'm trying to work on my dissertation preparation ready for next year, I'm completing a table which tells me what research is missing from areas of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Everytime I complete one little cell on my table, I come on here, refresh my User CP and refresh WTT forum... I'm addicted!

Oh my gosh yes! I'm totally going to do that for my baby when I get pregnant!!!!

Ah, yes I should also be getting a head start for my dissertation and now that my son is having a nap I am on here instead. I even decided to go with a theoretical paper rather than research and it is actually really fun but I am still on here and watching one born every minute.

You know your broody when your already looking at cloth nappies, and have everything picked out.
And you already have names!

Yes, I have done the same, I really want to use cloth nappies!
My DH and I have had our first names picked out for about 3 years! But we just cannot settle on a DD middle name. Sighhh!

We're thinking; Warwick Richard for a Boy (Richard was my Grandfather), and I love Iris as a girls name, and we want to use Phyllis as a middle name (as that was my DH's Grandmother's name) however, they just do not sit right.
I suggested having a second middle name to even it out. Like Iris Elizabeth Phyllis, but DH is not keen!
I think Phyllis Iris sounds nice, but DH doesn't like Phyllis as a first name

Ah, I only wish I could have done a theoretical piece! I do BSc Psychology and we must do a research piece as our final dissertation!

I did a year of psychology but changed it, now with sociology I get the choice and I hate research (I got a B in it so could be worse though). Maybe I should do research to do with babies, lol.

I tried cloth with my son and was 100% sure I would love it but I hated them. Yet I am thinking of buying a few non-bulky cloth nappies next time to see if I get on better with them as a SAHM/work at home mum (if I find something) since with my son I went back to do a degree when he was 4 months old.

We have the name Jacob for a boy and we had Emily Elizabeth (Elizabeth is my mum's and mother-in-laws middle name) for a girl but now we both want a different girls name but can not agree, I like Annabelle and DH hates it.

Yeah, you find a lot of people seem to change from Psychology... I think the main issue is that you don't have any real facts, it's all just evidence that supports something. There's rarely a right or wrong answer. Even I have struggled to get my head round it! Good luck on your Sociology course. I think if I hadn't done Psychology (wish I kinda wish I hadn't anymore) I would've probably done Sociology or Nursing

I'm hopefully going to be a SAHM (maybe with a very small, couple a nights a week job)... and I'm determined to make the best out of it, so breastfeeding, cloth nappies and homemade organic foods when they're weaned

All your names are lovely I think it's really important to include middle names as family names. Ironically my mother, grandmother and my DH do not have a middle name!

May have just made some progress... DH said he quite liked Iris Ava Phyllis

 

[OmiOmen]

Sociology is not different as far as research goes, we still use SPSS. But you get some real fun bits too.

We plan on home-schooling so I have to be a SAHM or work from home. I would work weekends but my husbands shifts change a lot.

Agreeing on names is so tough though. My son's middle name is James only because we could both agree on it and now we do not think it fits him.

 

[wellsk]

Oh dear! I think the next time round I'd want a degree that doesn't involve SPSS! I absolutely hate it! My dissertation will be qualitative, so I wont have to use it!

What made you decide to home-school your children? I don't know if I could do it.

I know what you mean about the name thing, it has taken forever to choose, my DH has pretty much had to give up as I'm so obsessed with certain names.
My DH likes names like Skye and Nevaeh, which are just not me!

Our idea for Iris comes from the GooGoo Dolls song... which we're both absolutely in love with! And Warwick was my history teacher! (It's also not far from where we live!)

You know you're broody when you burn the food you're making, because you're too busy thinking about how to design LO's nursery

If I was doing research rather than theory I would have gone for quantitative, not sure why...maybe I am a glutton for punishment, lol. I did my last one about attitudes about childbearing and marriage although I reached my null-hypothesis I did find some interesting gender differences about prioritising life goals.

We want to home school for for many reasons really. I want one-to-one (or one-to-two as the case will hopefully be) tuition and a varied approach to learning rather than just sat in a class room getting talked to. Plus I did dreadful in school in no small part because the teachers just wanted to get their job done rather than teach kids based on their own personal needs. I also think that kids can learn more than we give them credit for.

[Gunnhilde]

You know you are broody when.... you've already figured out where the crib and eventual bunk beds will go and you've drawn it out in a floorplan!

 

[sarah34]

When u start seeing 2 lines on everything that slightly resembles a pregnancy test window!!! Lol

 

[NennaKay]

Every thought you have circles back to a baby...

I should drink more water... Especially when I am finally pregnant.

I need to pay the bills... Once the loans are paid off I can save money for baby.

I look at the TV and wonder the best way to baby proof it.

SIGH.

 

[OmiOmen]

You know you are broody when you post every little baby related thought on BnB's WTT forum. Sorry about that.

 

[Kiki1993]

You know you're broody when ...
1. you spend most of your time on baby and bump, baby sites and picking out your nursery.

2.have picked your baby names with your OH

3.think about when you would take maternity leave and tell bosses

4.think about what you should bring up at the risk assessment

5.spend most of your time considering when the soonest possible time we could responsibly have a baby

6.search pregnancy announcements on youtube

7.live vicariously through your pregnant friend

8.get pissed off when you see irresponsible parents on fb moaning about their baby or moaning about pregnancy because their needs don't come first any more (why dont some people get that?!)

9. look at scan pictures and bump pictures thinking why cant it be me

10. think baby 24/7 and imagine what the baby will look like and be like

You have no idea how much I do this! I have an acquaintanceon facebook, I only keep her because I want to see what her baby looks like and names her. But she constantly whinges, when she's had a relatively simple pregnancy. (My close friend has had a terrible pregnancy and I have all my sympathy for her!)
I just want to scream 'get over yourself'.... 'do you have any idea how many people would love to be in your position!?'
So frustrating!
