Why did you pick your pregnancy ticker poll?

WearingRed · July 2009

In honor of my new improved Pregnancy ticker, I would like to know why you picked what you did for your tickers.

Me- I don't want to find out the sex of the baby, so I picked the pretty green background. I want to have a big beautiful baby bump so I pick the one with the BBBB woman on it. And Me and the baby Will both be Aries so I wanted that symbol for both of us.

Please tell me I am not the only one who put this much thought into a ticker.

The bump didn't have tickers when I got my first BFP, so I used lily pie. Then when the bump made tickers I thought they were so adorable and I couldn't wait until I had one. So I picked green since we're on Team Green and it matches with my badges. And, I like the little baby on it because it's just so cute all bundled up.

I loved the one I had last time but I didnt want to reuse it...

And I was (ok, I AM) obsessed with my Cabbage Patch Kid and my ticker makes me think of him (Bobby) I have had him since I was 2 and it makes me smile.

I haven't made mine official yet. I hope to do that Friday after my 2nd u/s. I thought we were going to be suprised by the sex and I love giraffes!

haha interesting question ...

I like the pretty green background of mine, and I love the little rattle. I picked orange because it goes nicely with the green and I'm having a fall baby!

mybobble · July 2009

I honestly didn't really care for any of the ones thenest had but wanted a ticker so I picked one that I didn't think was completely awful.

I know there are other places to find tickers but for some reason once I enter in the ticker code my computer goes nuts.

I wanted a ticker that didn't look like anyone elses so I searched for a while. I know I am a dork. We don't want to find out the sex either so I stayed neutral with color. Since we were sort of TTA I will say the stork brought me a baby. And I picked the darker complexion baby because our baby will most likely have a medium color skin tone...

Cabbage patch kids ::giggle:: I wish my dog hadn't eaten mine when I was like 10. I loved that baby.

I'm really not in love with my ticker. Your post has me motivated to look for one that I actually like.

I agree the orange and green do look like fall.

That little one does look cute all bundled up!

I like the little giraffe on yours! He is very cute!

I loved the one I had last time and actually got a tattoo of a little egg in a birdsnest as a memorial for the baby we lost, so I don't think I could have picked that icon again. I picked the hatched bird instead because I thought it symbolized the final product of my first ticker and was a positive outlook for this pregnancy, although I'm the only one who would interpret it that way. So, no, you're not the only crazy! LOL

Awww Sad! I had to work for like 20 mins to get mine to save right into the bump. (see my confession today but I wanted a ticker I could be proud of and happy with for a while, I still might change it again in a few months)

Aww! What a great reason! Now I will see it the same way when I see your posts! So you are no longer the only one!

I chose the cows for Livy beacuse she's our little farm girl (she loves to mooo too, lol). I'm not in love with the one for the pregnancy, but it's better than the bump ones and it's mini, so it works. Once I find out the gener I'll probably change it to something less neutral. I really like the lilypie tickers, tho.

Awww! Livy's Ticker is cute! Isn't it weird how little ones like to moo! I always find it oh so cute and funny. Good luck on finding on you like for this pregnancy.

I chose the chick marker because I choose that the first time, because we called the baby Chickadee (I know a chickadee is a totally different bird that is regional to North Carolina, but still. it was a nickname). When I lost Chickadee, I got that chick marker tattooed on my wrist.

So when I got pregnant again with a seemingly sticky baby (and it has been!), it felt right to use the same marker again. I didn't want to repeat a blue background though. That felt weird and I felt strongly then that it was a girl. When we agreed to go Team Smug, it seemd like a green background was most neutral.

My other tickers are all lilypie though. Because I think they are cute. On one site, it's the yellow flower head on a blue background and on my private site it's the green pea pod with the hearts/flowers background (because I thought it was neutral, but have since been informed it's girly).

I just picked whatever colors I liked best from the bump. ?I'm not very attached to it. ?In fact, I couldn't even really tell you what it looks like. ?I'm thinking it's pink and brown and has a duck. ?I chose the duck because ducks make me happy, hehe. ?Unless it doesn't have a duck then I sound dumb. ?Let's press "post" and see what it looks like....

This is so touching. I know I'm hormonal, but I'm tearing up reading this.

ethansbride2b · July 2009

oh and I picked this one from lilypie because I liked the three babies in a pod better than the three babies they have to choose from on the bump. I really loved the background from my old lilypie ticker, but I wouldn't use it again.

luckyangel · July 2009

I liked the dark blue/greens of the background and the swirls on the side and swallow (Sparrow to those who don't know their nautical history) are very tattoo-esque and I do tattoos.

attyalice · July 2009

I picked the piggy because the ttcal piggy challenge was my lucky week:) Also, in honor of the luck, dh and I call the baby piglet.... we're nerds.

HisKathy · July 2009

I had a lilypie one for my last pregnancy so I didn't want one for this one. Fortunately the bump had some cute ones. I picked the kitty because my LNN nickname of Katwoman Cook made easy work of my LNN friends calling my baby "Baby Kitty" so the kitty made sense. I used to have a pink background because I love pink but once I found out I was having a boy I switched to blue.

easjer05 · July 2009

Team Smug is a play on two things - a) the Team Pink/Team Blue badges and b) the YouTube sensation song 'Pregnant Woman Are Smug' in which they make fun of women who say things like "Oh, we know, but we're not telling" when asked about things like the sex of the baby or the name of the baby.

Basically, we're planning to find out the sex of the baby, but we're keeping it a secret between the two of us. DH wants to be able to announce it after birth and I really wanted to know beforehand, so this was our compromise. IRL, we just tell people we are keeping it a secret (which is true; we're just keeping it secret from them, not from us, lol). People seem to think it's fun, and it sort of is. So far though, the baby has out-smugged us. We had an u/s last week, baby measured 16w and we got a between the legs shot that was totally indecipherable. Go figure.
