AJ - 9.29.11 . Joey due 01/03/2015 . diagnosed with velamentous cord insertion @ 19 weeks with baby #2
1. How long have you been married? About a month and a half.
2. What do you do? I'm a first grade teacher.
3. Baby names picked out? We both like Thomas Harrison for a boy (after our grandfathers) and have no idea for a girl though I love Kara Lilian.
4. Your best TTC tip? I don't have any great tips since I'm not KU yet but my advice for the board is to lurk, a lot! You can learn so much by just reading what is posted here.
1. How long have you been married? - A few days over 16 months.
2. What do you do? - I have a BA in English & Communications, & recently worked as the director of marketing for a non-profit (I just resigned...I loved the company but marketing....not so much). I'm currently in graduate school earning my MAT with an emphasis in English Lang & Lit.
3. Baby names picked out? - Possibly. DH is obsessed with the name Skye for a girl ( he's obsessed, I tell you!). It's not my favorite ever, so maybe a variation like Skyleigh or something? IDK! I l personally like Tristan for a boy & Keira for a girl as well. But who knows? :P I would love 3-4 kids, so I'm sure I'll get a name I love someday....and either way, I totally picked out my youngest adopted sister's name (Sarah Evangeline) and it rocks & she rocks, so if nothing else - sister = win.
4. Your best TTC tip? - I guess just be patient, keep things in perspective, do your best to focus on the areas of your life you're happy with instead of the missing pieces....& I'm learning to chart, & I'm sure that will help, too.
....If all else fails, Google. I once fixed a car radio with nothing but Google. I have a lot of faith in it.
After 2 years of TTC#1, 2 losses, & a lot of prayers, we're hoping this is it!
Because I'm new (and bored since DH is at work and the house is *relatively* clean)
1. How long have you been married? - Just over 3 years.
2. What do you do? I work for an insurance company.
3. Baby names picked out? Grant William for a boy - we can't seem to agree on girl names - but since we don't want to find out the sex, even if we got pregnant today, we have awhile to figure it out!
4. Your best TTC tip? No tips from me - I'm only on cycle #2!
1. How long have you been married? almost 6 months
2. What do you do? investigator for the state tax department
3. Baby names picked out? we have a lot that we like but we haven't narrowed it down yet
4. Your best TTC tip? I don't really have any...I do know the worst TTC tip is when someone tells me "it'll happen when it is supposed to happen." Nothing irritates me more than that!

13. Baby names picked out? - Possibly. DH is obsessed with the name Skye for a girl ( he's obsessed, I tell you!).
MH is obsessed with Skye too and has been for years!! I've been trying to warm up to it. I also love Tristan but H thinks it's too feminine.
OMG! LOL, why or why the male obsession with the name Skye? It's cute & all, & its not like I don't like it....it's just that DH is die-hard set on that name like its a life-vs-death matter. So funny. Do you think you'll use it? I don't think I have a choice!
My DH isn't fond of Tristan either ..... he calls it "Triscuit" (like the snack food...ugh.) If we use Skye, I would sort of like to keep with the Irish names though (we both share Irish heritage), & I really love Tristan.
After 2 years of TTC#1, 2 losses, & a lot of prayers, we're hoping this is it!
1. How long have you been married? ive been married for about 2 months, been with him for almost 2 years. this is my second marriage2.

Your best TTC tip? in the past i always got pregnant right away, so i never really tried to concieve...but after some issues in the past and several miscarriages im not sure it will be so easy. i have tried in the past the ovulation testers and testing my cm, which im fairly good at
1. How long have you been married? A little over 2 yrs2. What do you do? I was a teacher but now I stay home with DD3. Baby names picked out? I think Patrick for a boy but we can't agree on a girl name4. Your best TTC tip?I guess chart and use OPK's. have fun and don't stress.

13. Baby names picked out? - Possibly. DH is obsessed with the name Skye for a girl ( he's obsessed, I tell you!).
MH is obsessed with Skye too and has been for years!! I've been trying to warm up to it. I also love Tristan but H thinks it's too feminine.

My DH isn't fond of Tristan either ..... he calls it "Triscuit" (like the snack food...ugh.) If we use Skye, I would sort of like to keep with the Irish names though (we both share Irish heritage), & I really love Tristan.
Tristan is a good name i know from experience...because that is my 6 yr old sons name!!
I have no idea. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I'm such a sucker for H though, so I can see myself agreeing to it because it would make him so happy. The only other girl name he doesn't hate is Emily (which I love). So it will probably be Emily or Skye if it's a girl.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tristan, but can see the Triscuit connection. Sigh.
Exactly, DH will for sure get his way because he's too cute, so I know I'll have a Skye someday one way or another.
I have to admit, every time he says Triscuit, I do LOL. I just can't find another boy name I love as much as Tristan.
After 2 years of TTC#1, 2 losses, & a lot of prayers, we're hoping this is it!

1. How long have you been married? 2 1/2 years2. What do you do? I'm a choir teacher, MH is a theology grad student3. Baby names picked out? James Andrew for a boy, Creda Lee for a girl4. Your best TTC tip? Still pretty new, so nothing really - but I will say I'm so glad I'm charting! I highly recommend it.
