Somewhat Lurker Intro

in Babies on the Brain
Hi Everyone, 

I am an occasional lurker who has also posted in the past, when we first started thinking about when to TTC. DH and I still do not have a timeline, possibly anytime between 1-3 years from now. I do, however, feel the need to start 'gathering information' because I like to plan things WAAAY ahead, so I thought i'd go ahead and introduce myself :) 
Basically, we are you're typical child free couple, ticking off the usual suspects on the pre-baby bucket list... Getting finances, careers and saving in order, traveling, sleeping in, etc. 

PS: I'm not sure if there are other 'non-bumpies' active here, but what better way to find out than to ask? :D

    @Helenahhandbasket: What is OaD?

    Has anyone got a link to the abbreviations?

    OAD = One and Done (only having one child)

    Here is a link to a helpful newbie blog, which includes a list of acronyms along with a lot of other useful information for TB: https://tbttgp.wordpress.com/

    Hi and welcome! I'm another mostly lurker who is a year or so away from TTC. I introduced myself a week or two ago, but still have been mostly lurking, lol, but I wanted to tell you that you're definitely not the only extreme pre-planner on here! I already have spreadsheets to estimate various baby costs and such. And a private Pinterest board to pin baby related things without unnecessarily getting friends excited.
    Thank you for letting me know, I used to think I was a crazy lady with a secret :) Haha Yes... The secret Pinterest board already exists, and the spreadsheets will soon follow :)
