Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a couple weeks, trying to familiarize myself with the different boards. My husband and I are newly married and have just started talking about TTC sometime in the next year or so. (We have a baby bucket list to get through first.) I was an avid Knot user, but haven't really felt like the Nest site is a good fit for me or our life right now (we've been together a long time and were living together for years before we got married).

We both want children, hopefully two. I'm not sure yet how easily we will fit children into our lives (Is DH emotionally ready, will he be able to contribute with his work hours, will I still be able to continue my work schedule without getting burnt out, will we need help (maid/nanny), will our relationship suffer, can I handle no caffeine or tylenol for 9 months)) so I tend to be drawn to boards with those types of threads. I found the working moms one seemed to be a good fit. I would appreciate other suggestions.

I've also starting reading 'The Parenthood Decision' and would love any other recommendations on readings/articles about preparing for the life changes that come with TTGP and having kids.
