GTKY? Just because.

So I know a lot of you guys are pretty tight already, but I know I personally would like to get to know each of you a bit better since this is my not so new home board and you ladies seem like the bee's knees so far.

So let's hear it!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days)

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?

What is your favorite thing about DH?

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).

MickeyM04

I'll start!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?   Apparently 9 months 2 weeks and 5 days old according to my ticker

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?  Late summer, probably August/September-ish in the hopes to have LOs a little over two years apart.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? OMG I could go on for hours; being a mom is basically my favorite thing in the entire world and I love every minute of it.  But probably the way DS looks at me; the fact that he lights up when he sees me and the way he holds his arms out for me and looks all frustrated when he wants me to pick him up and I can just tell that he loves me.  CHEESY.  But true.

What is your favorite thing about DH?  What a good daddy he is.  I mean he would get up with me every night when DS was a little peanut and change him and bring him to me to nurse.  And we fight over who gets to hold him.  And DS just smiles and laughs every time his dad walks into the room.  It's like that cheesy quote I saw somewhere (probably Pinterest),  "I never knew how much I loved your dad until I saw how much he loved you."  CHEESY AGAIN.  Sorry.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).  It takes me forever to get on escalators.  DH makes fun of me all the time.  I'm like super nervous I'm going to step on the crack between the steps and then lose my balance.  So it easily takes me like 10 seconds to actually get on an escalator.  It's like that scene in Elf.

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  DD is 6.5 weeks.

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? In about a year and a half...so that would be Summer 2014. That could change, but for now that's what I'm thinking.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Cuddling and snuggling with DD. And watching her start to show hints of smiles. Watching her little cheeks and legs get chubbier by the day.

What is your favorite thing about DH? His good looks of course! Oh and I can be my self around him more than anyone else in the entire world. He is the best.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.):  I absolutely despise sleeping in hotel rooms. The thought of other people sleeping in the same sheets/bed you are sleeping in just hours before disgusts me.

Oatoa

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  DD is now 13 months!

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?  I want to start trying for number two this summer but my DH would like to wait until next year.  I don't think my ute can wait that long though.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?  The hugs and unconditional love I feel for DD.

What is your favorite thing about DH? His sense of humor.  It makes the hard times easier when you have someone to laugh with.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).  When I am alone, I hum to myself all the time.  I also hum when I am uncomfortable and need to calm down.

We did when DD was 13m and I'm not almost 20w pg with our 2nd little girl 

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?

Watching her grow and learn  

What is your favorite thing about DH?

His kindness 

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).

I super Type A--I have a place for everything in my house and it stresses me out when everything is not in it's place.  I'm a little better since having a toddler makes it almost impossible.   

Zimger

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days) A few days over 11 months

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We are currently TTC

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Watching him learn.

What is your favorite thing about DH? He is a good father.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I'm incredibly Introverted so I seem very quirky to most people.

Peanut2929:

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days)   9 months old!!!

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?  One and done.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?  Watching DD grow and develop. For example, seeing her interact with a toy over the months and how she starts using it "right" and understanding it better.

What is your favorite thing about DH?  His patience, humor and "smiley eyes" (eyes that crinkle at the corners when he smiles). 

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).   I have always been scared of flying, and over the last few years it has gotten so bad that I can't even get on a plane.

Peanut2929:

How old is your LO/are your LO's?       Almost 7 weeks. 

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?  Probably once DS is 2 or 2 1/2. I wouldn't mind a little earlier but my H wants to wait. 

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? I love our bond together, right now at least I'm his world and of course he'll always be my world. He is also changing and growing so quickly its exciting to see whats next. 

What is your favorite thing about DH?  He is hilarious, motivated, and sweet. 

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I love cleaning my ears, LOL don't know why but I can't stand to go more than a day. 

karma79

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  DS is 13.5m

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? Unless my twitchy ute wins out we are TTA until May and then we are going to try for #2

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Big squishy man hugs and the big smiles I get from him. And his voice and laugh - it's the best sound EVER!

What is your favorite thing about DH? He has the patience to put up with me. LOL.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have I like to do things in 3 and 7's - but when it's bedtime for DS I kiss him 17 times before I lay him down. I don't know why but I can't stop.

Peanut2929:

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days) DD is a week over 16 months. Super fun age!! (except the tantrums and molars)

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We've been TTC since AF showed up a few months ago. Not super actively TTC (no temping, OPK's, etc), but that may be changing soon.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Toddler snuggles!! They are so rare these days.

What is your favorite thing about DH? Umm... uhh... well... he's still around?! He cooks.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). Just one? My clothes are organized by type, color, and length. All my hangers are exactly the same, except for the ones that I use to hang my pants (which are all exactly the same as well).

Ladiebug710

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days) 6 months tomorrow!

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? Yes now, but I am still BF and not having ovulatory cycles yet.  It is a perpetual state of waiting to O.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?  I am constantly amazed at how powerful it feels to love your LO.  It gets overwhelming sometimes when I think about it.

What is your favorite thing about DH?  His kindness.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).  Eyeballs gross me out.  I've overcome it enough to put in my own contacts, but I can't handle looking closely at other peoples eyes.  If someone flips their eyelids inside out...game over I really will start heaving.

bluebonnetmeg

How old is your LO/are your LO's?   Tommy and Charlie are 5 months and 3 days old

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We are NTNA right now due to my IF history, but we will probably get serious about it if I don't get pg before they are 2.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? That is a hard one. I love so much about it! I would have to say the smiles and the look they give me while I'm nursing. It just melts my heart.

What is your favorite thing about DH?   How great he is with the boys. Even when they were preemies, he just jumped right in. His love for them is tangible. I also love his dimples. *swoon*

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).  I'm really not superstitious, but I can't not throw salt over my left shoulder if I spill it.

Aubs0009

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days)Rylan Is 2

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? I got my BFP last week and I am due in October

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Watching Rylan grow and change everyday. I love seeing his personality form.

What is your favorite thing about DH? How caring he is. He is so genuine and loving.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I can touch my tounge to my nose.

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days)

Jackson is 2 months 26 days. I can't believe he will be 3 months on Monday

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?

We said once he turns 1 we will start to TTC again, although I am not on BC right now and are using pull and pray so anything can happen.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?

Right now since he isn't doing too much I love all the smiles and giggling. It makes me smile and I love that now when I hold him up over my shoulder he puts his arm around me and "hugs" me he squeezes me. He was patting my back yesterday.

What is your favorite thing about DH?

The amazing man that he is. He truly loves me unconditionally and I love that we can have fun doing anything. He is a southern gentleman and does all the little things for me. Opening my doors, carrying my shopping bags etc.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).

I can't think of anything, I hate black pepper and can truly taste it no matter what. All my friends have learned to cook with out it for me.

jobiann

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  6 weeks and a few days old

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? If we do it will be late next year, DH and I are already 33 so we want to have number two very soon. But honestly, we aren't sure that we want another one...course he is only 6 weeks old. So we will see!

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Watching him grow and knowing that DH and I "made" him...he is so cool. Love him to pieces.

What is your favorite thing about DH? He is always there for me, if I need a hug, or need to laugh and knows how to read me so that I don't even have to say anything, he just knows! Love him to pieces too!

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I am obsessive at night to ensure our garage door is closed and the lights are off out there. DH ALWAYS leaves the lights on so I've become compulsive about checking a few times before I go to bed. And if I hear him go out there after I'm in bed (if he left his phone out there, or something work related) I have to get up and check again. 

october_artist

How old is your LO/are your LO's? 

9 months as of yesterday!

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?

We are wanting to be pregnant again (I envisioned being KU anytime after she was 9 months) but I'm still BFing and have not had AF yet, soooo TTC is more like waiting to O/just seeing what happens for a while... 

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?

The entire world feels different.  The future and the past and the present - everything.  There is good and peace and baby snuggles and I can't not feel blessed every single day - yes this is totally over the top, but honestly it is how I feel.  LO makes me feel accomplished.

What is your favorite thing about DH?

His silly nature, and his ability to balance me out.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).

I like cold, leftover spaghetti better than the hot and freshly-made kind.

So let's hear it!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days) 16 months

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? Probably not going to TTC again-but who knows.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Watching Landon smile at me.  Seeing his joy in little things.

What is your favorite thing about DH? His work ethic.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I hate elevators & small spaces. My dad lives in DC & it would drive me crazy to live in a small space & use a elevator each day.

JuddandJessica

How old is your LO/are your LO's? My son will be 6 weeks old on saturday

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? Currently, I'm avoiding that one like the plague. We will probably ttc in 2 to 3 years.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? I'm new to this but so far I love the snuggles and seeing his personality emerge.

What is your favorite thing about DH? How he cares about me and is by my side, no matter what

please share one weird quirk you have: I get sentimental about everything. DH gets so mad.

Eris-Alexis

C is 13 months today.  

We are planning on TTC again, but it depends on my job situation.  Right now I am on a short term contract.  If it gets transitioned to a long term contract, we will probably start this spring/summer.  

I love watching C discover and figure things out.  He's so inquisitive.  And I love making him laugh.

I love how supportive and caring DH is.  

Weird quick, I am hyperflexible and I can turn my arm all the way around.  

Scooby2358

How old is your LO/are your LO's? DD will be 3 very soon and DS just turned 6 months

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We are not sure whether #3 is in the cards for us. The plan is to have a conversation next summer when DS is approaching 1. If it's a go, we will likely TTC right away. I go back and forth daily on whether we should have one more - it depends on how much whining I've heard that day.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? I'm so proud every time DD is sweet to others and to us. And baby snuggles.

What is your favorite thing about DH? Generally a terrific guy who is crazy about his kids. I love seeing the special bond he has with DD.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have: I can't tolerate anything crunchy in chicken salad, tuna salad, potato salad, etc. No celery or onion, please, or I can't eat it.

melly918

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  DS is 3 and DD will be 8 weeks this Saturday.

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?  Nope. I am old and done.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?  Just watching my kids grow and change every day.  I am amazed at the little things they say and do.  Today, DS did not want to eat dinner because he wanted to finish a new puzzle.  He said "I have to figure it out."

What is your favorite thing about DH?   He tolerates my moods most of the time. Seriously, any other guy would have left a long time ago.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have.  When I yawn, I make this loud groaning noise like "yyaaaahhhhhh".  DH hates it....it is a family habit. 

mork

How old is your LO/are your LO's? DD is 4 months old.

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? The end of March. Yikes!

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? The smiles and sparkling eyes when she sees me.

What is your favorite thing about DH? That he gets me and all my quirkiness.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.. I have OCD. One of my major symptoms is hand washing. Like, twenty times a day. And I insist DH wash his hands anytime he goes near DD, the kitchen, or after he touches the dogs, floor, or trash in any way. I'm a lucky lady, in that he puts up with me, does it, doesn't complain, and even gets most of my reasoning behind it. I also clorox tables, counters, light switches, door knobs, and other things multiple times a day. There's so much more, but I think that's enough to sufficiently shock you all.

So let's hear it!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days)  DD is 20 months

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are?  We got our BFP on xmas day but miscarried 3 weeks ago.   So we are in discussions about when to TTC again.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?  It's impossible to choose.  But I guess seeing her grow, learn and develop - all those firsts, seeing the gears turn.  It's utterly amazing.  Oh, and baby kisses!

What is your favorite thing about DH?  Again, impossible to choose just one thing...but he is amazing with DD, and such a caring partner and team player.  He rocks.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).  Gel toothpaste and when people stir their yoghurt until it's all soupy.  Blech.

MrsRiceARoni

How old is your LO/are your LO's?   She'll be 7 weeks tomorrow, she's so big already!

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We aren't going with any sort of prevention or anything but we'll probably start actively trying when lo is around a year old. Between BFing and PCOS I don't imagine I'll be getting KU before then but you never know.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Snuggling with my sweet little girl is the best.

What is your favorite thing about DH? He is so caring and patient

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have? Well it's not the case any more but before I became a mom I couldn't sleep without ear plugs even if it was completely silent I couldn't fall asleep without the pressure of them in my ears. Its something I was really worried about before lo was born, but now I'm so exhausted that I can fall asleep without anything and I'm hoping now that I'm not used to them anymore I wont need them again.

ellebelle2384

Hi ladies!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  Sophia is now 13 months old - time is flying!

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We will stop preventing when she turns 2.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? The smiles and baby hugs.

What is your favorite thing about DH? How he thinks about the family now with his decisions.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). Not a quirk, but I have two different colored eyes.  It's not super noticeable unless you are close but definitely two different colors.

Junebug060609

How old is your LO/are your LO's? He's 16 months

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We already are TTC 2

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Seeing him 'get' something new...and the snuggles.

What is your favorite thing about DH? That he generally puts DS and me first.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have. It's not that weird, but I drive dh nuts by leaving drinks with about an inch left of beverage in them.

Heatherhah

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days) I have a 19 yr old DS, 4 1/2 yr old DD my angel would have been 17 months this month and our newest DD 3 months old

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? we are done I think

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? I love everything about being a mom I wish I could have 10 kids and I am not being sarcastic!!! LOL

What is your favorite thing about DH? He is wonderful with our kids he just loves them so much and he is a great person. Sure he has his flaws but they all do.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I have to have the bed made perfectly right after I get out of it , I hate unmade beds. DH could care less but I hate it!!!

ksyknelvr73

So I know a lot of you guys are pretty tight already, but I know I personally would like to get to know each of you a bit better since this is my not so new home board and you ladies seem like the bee's knees so far.

So let's hear it!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  (I could look at tickers but I hear they are pretty whacked these days) DS is 2 years old TODAY : )

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? Today, see my post above this. We were going to wait until last month and then TTC but I got a new job so we had to wait a little.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Unconditional love.

What is your favorite thing about DH? He is always willing to say he is sorry, he loves me so ridiculously much, and he truly wants nothing more than for me to be happy.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I have way too many, but I'll share one that always makes people go "What??". I hate chunks in my ice cream. I refuse to eat ice cream with any kind of bits and pieces in it, even if I typically like those things separate. I love M&M's and brownies, etc...but if it's in my ice cream, GROSS.

FreyaWin2382

Hello lovely ladies!

How old is your LO/are your LO's? My little guy is now 4 weeks, one day old. (my siggy still won't update).

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? Tentatively next January, but we'll see....I'm going to have to forget a whole lot of my L&D experience first.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? I love that, even right when he was born, my son knew my voice.

What is your favorite thing about DH? I love how he has been so supportive and is so completely in love with our little guy.

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.).  It grosses me out when people touch their eyes.

csquared426

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Work and taking care of Em is way more time consuming then I ever thought!

How old is your LO/are your LO's?  5 months 2 weeks

When are you planning to TTC again, if you even are? We'll probably start next week! It took 3 years for #1, so we need to get moving if it takes that long again since I'm turning 37 this year.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? Walking into the room where Em is and having her smile the biggest, sweetest smile because she is so happy to see me.

What is your favorite thing about DH? How awesome he is with Em. He wants to do everything with her, and it's so cute!

And for fun, please share one weird quirk you have (like if you hate feet, or if you can't have your food touch, etc.). I can't stand the sound when people eat chips. The sound grates on my nerves so much.

KJsbabe

1. DD is 7.5 months

2.  We plan to TTC again when AF shows. I'm still BFing so who really knows when that will be. Hopefully not too much longer!

3.  Everything! I love watching her grow and change and figure things out. I love her snuggles and kisses. I love just breathing her in!

4. Everything! He's such a good husband and father. He's helpful and carring. I definitely got one of the good ones!

5. I'm addicted to Chapstick. I don't like sticky things, it groses me out when they get dirty.

The fact that he can always make me smile even if I am mad at him.
