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!
1. How long have you been married? 1 year 4 months

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.

* Congrats to my girl SarahRuthG on her new baby boy!*
Tristan is a good name i know from experience...because that is my 6 yr old sons name!!
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!
See! I love that name. & I have only ever met super-adorable children with the name.
