Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Poll: If you are planning on having another baby.
When do you plan on TTC the next one. If you are pregnant feel free to chime in with "yesterday".
For us, I would love to try in either November or February. I know this sounds really weird but I don't want to have another baby in October because I want Brooke's birthday to be special. I would love a June baby but we aren't ready to try next month and I don't want to wait a year. The big gap is just to be safe, because we got pregnant in January and we due in November, but Brooke came early. So you never know!
ETA: Reading that I sound kind of neurotic. And yes, I know anything can happen.

Re: Poll: If you are planning on having another baby.
As soon as we sell our house and I get my cycles back. Ideally I would like the next two to be around 2 years apart, so I would get pregnant next spring.
But we aren't using any protection right now. So whatever happens, happens.

Next July/August for hopefully an April/May baby... but we'll see what happens a year from now!
When was Brooke due? I got pregnant late Feb/early March and was due in Nov.
We want them close to 2 years apart, 22 months at the closest. DD was born at 37 weeks, so we'll start trying when DD is 14 months in case I'm pregnant for only 8 months again (8.5 if you insist on counting the two weeks before O.) That works out to March.
Ideally, I'd like an April baby, but with my age and potential for fertility issues (not that I had any last time, but I cheated a little) we're not going to waste any time.
We want our kids pretty close together, we're thinking of TTC after Stasa's first birthday, so after January.

November 6th. Maybe I SHOULD have said Feb because it was like the last week in January. Unless my date was off but I had two periods that month so WHO knows.
Perhaps we will get pregnant together and name our LOs the same thing. lol
Wow, for a second there I thought we were the only ones waiting a few years.
I don't want them any closer than 2 1/2 years apart. Ideally, next time I would love the baby to be born in May or June. I would love to try next year in August, but that probably won't happen. More than likely we will start TTC Aug. 2011.
That makes sense since I was due at the end of Nov, but I was just curious since you said she came early.

Hahaha! I could have written this! I'd really love a summer baby, but I don't want to wait another year. I think we're going to start trying in October (after we get back from vacay) and deal with whatever craziness 2 under 2 will bring (even though the ideal age gap would be 2 years)!

It just dawned on me that I'm going to be old when this happens. LOL!
Same here.
We can't decide though if we want to throw caution to the wind or really try and plan it. We got pregnant a few months earlier than expected with Jax because we threw caution to the wind and I never thought we would get so lucky. Who knows how it will go next time. We have plenty of time to figure out how to handle it.
I'd like to get down to my goal weight first, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm a good 10 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'd like to be below my pre-birth control weight at least, maybe even pre-freshman 15.
That being said, we aren't using any birth control now, so whatever happens, happens. DH is trying to convince me to have sex every day this cycle, so I guess he is definitely TTC, lol.
