Waiting to TTC part 2!

Wow that is weird Bebe - how far in your family tree can you trace back?

My grandmother was Isabel, so had my heart set on it for years, so much so that my DSIL was warned off the name for both her girls!!! Knowing my luck I will have boys, which isn't bad obviously, but doubt I could have a dog called isabella!?!

Isabella's really lovely - but very popular at the moment.

There was a MN thread a while ago about having named your pet your favourite name and then not being able to use it for your DC! Don't do that, whatever you do!!

I can't imagine ever being at the POAS stage, it seems like a remote dream. I've been toying with the idea of coming off the pill, but it's still a bit too early really.

AC, I have to agree re the pet, either get one a year or so before so you have time to settle it in or even better wait until the baby is here, then it wont get jeleous of the new arrival.

BTW I always liked Isabella for my first girl

I never get fake symptoms, but DH and I are fastidiously careful the last time I did a pg test I was a neurotic teen! I don't think getting a new pet immediately before you get pg is a good idea, but I know where you're coming from!

BabsH lol DP and i are thinking of getting a cat!

Honeymoon baby would be lovely! now that DP has strung on me the not wanting babies till married thing I will be doing the same as you are and haveing everything crossed for the BFP on return from lovely holiday, what else is there to do on a honeymoon tho than to SWI?

Hi Broody,

my OH wants us to wait until our wedding, which is only 13 weeks away (not that I'm counting!!!) but I would love to get preggers now, although I do know that being sick on the wedding day would be horrible, I cant wait to get started!!!!

I have little fantasies about having a honeymoon baby, I've already printed out all the lists of things you should have, my DSIL has a bunch of stuff stored away for me at my DM's house and I have worked out which nursery I would send my DC to - it's not distracting me, although wedding planning helps!!!

Don't buy a puppy though - I love my dog, but it's just made me worse!!!

Would love to start in new year for late summer baby, I would of finished the course I am on then aswell so could take some time with baby before going full time but who knows! I just vent by buying things for others babies don't think I dare buy for my own yet, even though I did keep hold of last present for alot longer than was necessary just in case the line turned blue! Do you find you get fake pg symptoms? Just before every lady week I am sure I feel something different or unusual! Just torture!

Hi BroodyRhi glad you came to join us! If you've read through the thread you'll know this already, but my situation is work/finances as well. I have no children but am pretty sure I would like some! Probably best if I do have at least one, seeing as I have been buying him/her clothes (see above)!

The earliest possible time I could TTC would be July, but we're planning on starting in December so we can get some savings built up just in case.

When do you think you might be able to try?

Hello,

Just started a thread bout wanting to start TTC but can't. I am currently without a baby or child of my own but DP and I are both broody and its really just common money and work sense that is stopping us TTC right now. A friend has just had his first baby, he is now 4 months and he is my broody vent, I often buy him little things etc.

Is there anyone else here who is also childless but wants not to be?

That's cute! And caterpillar cakes are ace.

My friend bought one for her new baby and posted pictures up on FB. I had to have one. I don't know why, I must be losing it! I haven't seen the dress up costume.

Bebe Asda is where I really naughtily bought my non-existant PFB his/her little sleepsuit. It is the Hungry Caterpiller one. I couldn't resist!

where is everyone?

Hello, ladies.....

Monster wave of broodiness the last day or 2, and dou you know what...looked at the calendar and I reckon I'm ovulating round now. Obviously mother nature trying to get me to go for it! . But I'm still with the programme...will just content myself with perusing the baby nakes section..
Work's been crapola this month (I'm freelance) and I've been getting a bit twitchy with nothing coming in, has manifested itself in insomnia lately, which I've never suffered from. I'm tired but when I go to bed my mind's just racing. Not consciuosly worried, just can't switch off.
How's everyone else?

I think Charlotte will be top of our list if I'm honest, because we both really like it. It was the name we chose for our make-believe DC when we went mystery shopper-ing at a boarding school.

I like Marianne and charlotte for girls. There's a really big fashion for what I call "codger names" at the moment....I know an Alfred, Francis, Monty and I've heard names like Pearl, Edith, Hilda are big again for girls. Not keen myself.

Wow this thread's been busy. A whole page of messages. Yep you're both right - how are we supposed to get through all these months of waiting if we can't indulge ourselves a bit! Erm names I'm none too sure about. I'm keeping a list of names I like but it changes all the time and DH doesn't like a single one of them. He reckons we have to choose one of his family names, i.e. George, John, Thomas or Charles - which narrows things down a bit! At the moment I'm liking April, Polly or Thea for a girl and Hayden, Warren or Yorke for a boy. None of these will be allowed of course. DH likes Charlie for a girl which is quite nice.
