Have any other children? 2 year old daughter

How long were you trying before your BFP? 2 must be our lucky number because we got pregnant both times on the 2nd cycle.

Do you plan on finding out the sex of the baby? Definitely.  I'm way too much of a planner to not know.  I think it's still a surprise whether you find out at 20 weeks or in the delivery room, so I look at it as my "reward" for making it half way!

Any gut reactions as to what you're having? Honestly, I have no idea this time around.  I kinda' had a feeling it was a girl last time, and I was right, but this time I have no idea.

What are you most looking forward to about this pregnancy? Telling our families, Doctor's appts. in general, and the couple ultrasounds we'll get, finding out the sex, feeling the baby move/kick.

What are you most looking forward to once the baby arrives? Just seeing his/her face and snuggling, seeing how my daughter interacts with the new baby, the general excitement that a new baby brings to the whole family.

What are you most looking forward to about this pregnancy? It's still really early, but it's drawn DH and I closer than we even were before we conceived. I think it'll be an amazing experience to go through with him.

What are you most looking forward to once the baby arrives? Meeting him/her! Being able to hold the baby in my arms.
