Baby Survey - What are your plans?

We're thinking end of 2012, we'll start trying... I dunno... with work and everything, it's tough. Both sets of parents are 1 hour+ away. He's starting school in January. We want to buy a house first, hopefully soon. And the list goes on.

But then you visit everyone for the holidays, and your cousin's kids are so darn cute! ;)

What's everyone's baby plans now 1 1/2 year later? What's holding you back? If you've already jumped on the baby bandwagon, what was the one thing (or things) that made you take the leap?

Re: Baby Survey - What are your plans?

  • Currently trying.  We both want kids and with my being 33, it's time to start :)

  • I wrote a reply but TN ate it. 

    We decided to TTC when we realized that we weren't certain if we were going to stay where we are now (buying a house here is redic) and knew we'd be able to buy if we moved elsewhere almost immediately. Also, my health was a consideration, since every time I get pregnant I have to have a EKG and echo done on my heart to check that it doesn't develop murmurs (I was born with a VSD & valve insufficiencies and had the VSD fixed as a baby, and grew out of the vav;e problems, but they can come back during pregnancy). We figured it's better to get pregnant and put the strain on my heart while I'm younger and can definitely handle it rather than older and we don't know if the vavle problems will come back.

  • We're TTC and have been for 9 months now... I had a miscarriage back in October but are praying for a sticky (and take home) baby soon. We want to buy a house and stuff but medical reasons (PCOS) are a big reason why we're trying to hard right now...

  • Our plans are the complete opposite of the other responses to your post so far but I figured I'd throw them in the mix. Ziggy and I currently have ZERO interest in having kids. Yes, we talk about some far future point when we might have them, but its no point in the near future. We are SO not ready, even slightly. We have nieces and nephews and a god baby on the way, and that's plenty for us. We can play with them and then give them back when we're done lol.I admire you ladies who are ready now, it scares the crap out of me. I'm not ready for that yet. My career is just starting out and I still feel like a kid myself!

  • I'm with you, Kim.  I would love a baby now, but deep down I know I'm not ready plus DH and I would love to own a house and take a few vacations before starting to TTC.  We need to get him graduated from Dental school and then we'll think about it more seriously.

  • currently have a beautiful 3 week old, running on NO sleep, and have zero plans for another one anytime soon LOL.

    We'll eventually have a #2 but it won't be for a while! 

  • Originally we were going to wait to TTC until summer of 2012, but then we decided to start trying in August 2011 after I had a change of heart and realized I was ready now too, and we are now expecting in Aug 2012!

    I can not wait to meet my beautiful bundle even though it is currently draining my energy and the only time I can eat and have it stay down is in the morning

  • Congrats lynde129!! That is very exciting.  I posted to this board last night but it is not here now so who knows. We are TTC.  I have been charting and using OPKs for a few months.  This last month though I charted only a few days and we sort of took the month off of TTC.  I was very stressed and couldn't deal with it.  I am 32 so we do need to get this going.  It scares me too but I have always wanted children.  I do wonder how I will get everything done though. 
  • We'll be starting TTC sometime this summer. It is definitely a hot topic with us right now.

  • Probably not for at least another year. When we got married, we decided we would assess where we were on our 2 year anniversary. We both want to buy a house first, and it may be about this time next year before we are in a house and actually settled. (We are thinking late summer/early fall for buying.) So it may be 2013 before we start TTC. I'm 27, and DH and I have decided that we definitely want one by the time I'm 30. (Which would give us plenty of time to settle in a house, make sure we are in jobs/a place we intend to stay, do any work we want to a house, and save some money back up.) I'd love to pay off my grad school loan too, but that may not happen.

  • We are currently trying!!  We had planned to start last spring...  but work stuff got in the way.  I am older than most of you... and it's sort of a "now or never" situation (2 kids in 2 years is the plan!)
