    1. I am probably in my last TWW of TTA although we may delay it one more cycle.

    2. We are using FAM to avoid.

    3. I am so excited the end is almost near. I understand why we waited but it doesn't make it easy.

    4. The Australian trip is my dream vacation but I have so many places I want to see H's is Russia so that is probably next on our list.

    5. Well it turns out I don't keep personal secrets well. (you tell me not to tell and I won't though!) So my entire family kind of knows Australia is it and probably many coworkers and friends. Ha! My mom and sister and bffs will probably know if we struggle etc.

    6. My goal before TTC: I want to get in better shape. I want to be consistently running with I am pregnant and that starts before. I know it will just take me getting out the door but that can be hard.

    7. My favorite flower is the Bluebonnet

    8. Bed sheets are a steely blue with a grey duvet cover.

  • 1. How long do you plan to TTA? We're looking at another 12-15 months.

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? Mirena

    3. How do you feel about TTA? It has it's ups and downs...I see all the baby bumps on the GPM board and I can't help but feel a poke from the green-eyed monster, but our logic is sound as to why we're waiting.

    4. What is your dream vacation? One is England/Scotland and one is the Mediterranean.  I'd love to go back to Hawaii, too.

    5. Have you told anyone your TTC timeline? When you TTC, do you plan to tell anyone? I haven't been coy about when we plan on TTC (especially to family since they are all "taking bets"), but I'm not going to shout it from the rooftops that we're trying.  I like to surprise people.

    6. What are your goals before TTC? Lose some weight, payoff some debt.

    7. What is your favorite flower? Forget-Me-Nots

    8. What color are your bed sheets? Right now they're a light green modal.  So comfy.

    9. What questions should be included next time? Favorite TV show?  Favorite movie(s)?

    1. How long do you plan to TTA? Not sure. We wanted to have a good handle on our debt (which we've done) and save a fair amount (we're about halfway there), but when we're done with that next year it will put us right at the beginning of our "real world" careers. I think we'll have to see what that will look like before we decide if it's a good time.

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? FAM/charting

    3. How do you feel about TTA? I'm okay with it right now.

    4. What is your dream vacation? I love cruises but DH hasn't been, so I'd really like to take him on one. I'm thinking Caribbean, he's thinking Alaska, lol.

    5. Have you told anyone your TTC timeline? When you TTC, do you plan to tell anyone? IWe've discussed it a bit with our parents and some close friends, but since we're not too sure of the timeline, it's been rather vague. When we start, I think I'd like to keep it quiet at first.

    6. What are your goals before TTC? Save more money.

    7. What is your favorite flower? Daisies, I guess

    8. What color are your bed sheets? Right now, navy blue

    9. What questions should be included next time? What do people do for a living? I know this gets asked/answered occasionally on GP, but I could use a refresher for most of you!

    Pregnancy Ticker
  • Sorry I'm so far behind!  We had a long and horrible week last week and I wasn't anywhere near a computer for most of it.

    1. How long do you plan to TTA?
    Well it was supposed to be until May after we moved into our house but DH has baby fever that was spiked last week so now we're talking about just going for it.

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? Condoms

    3. How do you feel about TTA? I've been ready to be a mom for as long as I can remember.  I've been waiting for DH and trying not to pressure him at all and we also wanted to have a house before we had a baby.  We are hopefully closing on April 3 so that timeline is quickly closing in.

    4. What is your dream vacation? Ireland to see where my grandmother was born.

    5. Have you told anyone your TTC timeline? When you TTC, do you plan to tell anyone? I have about 4 close friends that know but only one that knows that we may be moving it up.  My family is very invasive with everything so we plan to keep it quiet from both families.  They will find out after the 1st tri.

    6. What are your goals before TTC?  Have a house.  Both cars are paid off and our student loans aren't going anywhere.  DH got a new, well paying job in his dream career last March so I feel pretty good.  Financially, I wish we had a little more put away since we're about to buy a house and TTC, but we're very financially responsible and stick to our budget like glue so I'm not overly concerned.  DH is also due for raises every 6 months so that will help as well.

    7. What is your favorite flower? Lily!

    8. What color are your bed sheets? Fitted is blue, white, and lime green squares and the flat is lime green.

    9. What questions should be included next time? Any favorite baby names picked out for the future?
