We plan to but not for a few months -- hopefully we'll start TTC arouond mid-year.

Leigha12 · December 2009

Yes, but not until near the end of the year, and only if I get a permanent job with benefits by then. Our goal is to travel as much as possible until my 30th birthday in September, and then TTC.

barbnsteve · December 2009

Yes, or so I am hoping...but not until after October. I'm the MOH in a wedding that month and I so don't want to be KTFU! We'd like to buy a house first too so I'm thinking we'll be able to start TTC after Oct. I'm looking forward to 2010...I think it's going to be a good year!

angelfire0412 · December 2009

I voted absolutely NOT!!! Mine are finally getting to an age where they are more independent and DH and I may actually be able to leave them for 2-3 days and enjoy some time together. So excited about that possibility!!!

kaleyandjason · December 2009

I said yes, but that is only if I am going to finish school in Dec. If I am then we won't start TTC till December. So, that is a whole year away.

Savy _05 · December 2009

I didn't vote.. none of the answers really fit. As of right now we arent trying for this year, more like early-mid next year, but there is a possibility that we will change our minds and start trying by the end of this year. Who knows... We'll see what happens... in the mean time we're practicing making them

haha

mamie329 · December 2009

We're not ready for kids right now. There are some financial goals we want to work on first, and I think the main goal for 2010 is to figure out if we're staying here, and if so, finding our first house. I'll gladly to be Aunt Mamie for any J9 baby though.

megs1383 · December 2009

I answered absolutely not! This year we are planning to focus on us and get our lives in order... buy a house, get better jobs (me anyway), and overall become more organized. Yes that is all en route to baby, but not planning to have one untill probably 2012. id like for us to both feel ready, then take a last awesome vacation before we get preggs.

So you're saying you might change your minds in the next 40 hours? Huh?

mamie329 · December 2009

Hehe. BITB is my favorite nest-bump acronym ever.

gmk1784 · December 2009

We're going to Bermuda in June and I really don't want to be pregnant for that, but I think I'd like to quit BC once we get back. I don't think we'll TTC right away but if it happens, it happens.

Of course I haven't discussed any of this with DH yet. He could have totally different plans.

shagadelk7 · December 2009

Abso-fricken-lutely not.

That is all.

Philly6*6*09 · December 2009

I didn't vote.

I would prefer to be in a house first, as opposed to our apartment.

Confession - the hubs and I had very drunken relations on Christmas, and i'm keeping my fingers crossed for Ms. Flow Confused

keb270 · December 2009

100% heck no.

After spending time with my neices over the holidays, my baby feelings are worse than ever.

mrscdobs · December 2009

Ha! Yes and no are tied

mofe · December 2009

C-what's your response?

I answered no. I am going to Germany next fall so we decided that we would discuss it when I get back. I think that we won't try until 2011. We'll be busy with both of our sisters pregnant right now (so excited!). We want to take some vacations and feel we're still pretty young (26 and 27).

mrscdobs · December 2009

We are definitely starting to TTC in 2010 - in the summer at some point so I can hopefully time my maternity leave (bad idea, but oh well).

Kellybeth124 · December 2009

I answered no as well. I'm going back to school and we still live in an apartment. We would figure it out should an "oops" occur but we are still TTA for the next few years. We probably won't be TTC until 2014 at the earliest.

hopeblue9 · December 2009

Absolutely not

timing your maternity leave isn't such a bad thing - it's the only way some of us non-teachers can get a summer off! Confused

sarajoy12345 · December 2009

I don't think so.

I am set to finish my MBA in Dec. 2010, and that is the EARLIEST we have agreed to talk about TTC. I think by the end of 2011 we may be ready. We are 25 and 26 now, and I definitely want to be on the way to babies by my 28th birthday (Nov. 2012)

barbnsteve · December 2009

hahaha thanks Mames...that's kinda what I thought!

I have a timeline. I wanted to be married at 26 (which happened) and have a child when I am 28.

C- I think it's smart to try to plan around maternity leave. My sister (a teacher) did that and she's due at the end of June.

SBS0628 · December 2009

Nope. Babies scare me.

Just kidding. In all seriousness, we have quite a few things we'd like to accomplish first - mainly, me finishing graduate school, deciding whether or not I'm going to pursue a PhD in the next two years, figuring out which city we'll be living in, buying a house, DH finishing school, and me finding a good full time (or lots of steady part time) teaching job(s).

This.

stjoespirit04 · December 2009

Abso-freaking-lutely not. I'm 23. B is 23. I'd be insane to saddle myself down with kids before I'm even in my mid-20's.

Plus, we're doing a lot of traveling, and I want to be able to enjoy that time with B. I couldn't imagine enjoying touring foreign countries with an infant. I mean, I'm sure we could do it, but if I'm going to be downing Guiness in Ireland, I don't want a kid strapped to me.

mrscdobs · December 2009

It's also worth noting that H and I are 25 and 23, respectively, but we have our *** together. We own a brand new house. Both have great jobs. I have my Master's Degree. I've traveled a lot. I just feel pretty secure and I've been smart with my money.

I want to be a young mom. I'll never be a SAHM, but I see how it totally worked for my H's parents. They were 21 and 23 when they had him, and they are living the life now. Their three boys are grown or almost grown, and they're traveling and doing lots of stuff. Plus having kids never really tied them down.

On the other hand, my parents were older when they had me (mid and late 30s) and I don't like how they didn't have much energy although they tried.

I asked my H the other day what his biggest fear is re: having babies. Mine is losing our "twosome" and all the independence that comes with it. His is money. So it makes me feel good knowing that he doesn't worry about losing "us" and I don't think we will.

Everyone does different things that work for them. We have a huge, great family support system so when I want to go pursue higher degrees (which I will eventually), and if we ever want to go away, we can. I don't know. Everyone's situation is different. I just know I got my *** together at a young age and never at the sacrifice of not enjoying myself... so I don't see that happening when we do decide to have children.

Wow, book over.
