Success after IF

Fun poll: What will your baby be when they grow up?

If you are pg, say what you think (not knowing your baby of course, but maybe they are awake all night and kicking - you do know a little of their personality in utero)

If you have a LO, say what you think they will be (seriously or for fun).

Re: Fun poll: What will your baby be when they grow up?

  • Musician, just like his parents!  He's already matched pitch, he vocalizes in a sing-songy way all the time, he has good rhythm, loves to "play" piano & guitar and listen to Daddy play trumpet...  Loves it when we sing to him.  Yup, a musician!
    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
    LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!

  • Loading the player...
  • My DH says major league baseball player. Living vicariously thorough his child? I think so! :)
  • Serious:  My DH and I used to be computer programmers - we do IT related stuff now, but DS sees me on the computer typing (on the bump or just emails) and he wants to sit between me and bang his hands on my keyboard.  He totally messed up all my browser settings last night.  So I think he will be a computer programmer like his parents.

    For Fun:  I think he will be a circus performer.  He loves to kick a toy ball with his feet and raise it with his feet...reminds me of cirque soleil.  He loves the kicking gym at daycare even though we don't have one at home.  He loves to use his feet and will try to even lift toys with his feet.

  • DH and I had this discussion a while back and the general consensus in our household is that as long as he is happy, not mooching off of us, not breaking the law and not a Lobbyist that we don't care he's gotta go his own way and do with his life what makes him happy.

    If I had my way though he'd be a musician Smile

  • When he was first born, I said comedian.  My sister told me that DS looks like K.evin J.ames when me and my DH do not look like him.  ha!  I just laughed. 

    In utero, I knew he would be stubborn as he never wanted to kick 'on queue' during NSTs.  I could see him just laughing at the drs as soon as we left the office.

     

  • Still pg and I have no idea. My husband, on the other hand, has already decided (half jokingly) that she's going to be a doctor. He says he'll give her the choice of specialty but doctor it will be. I just laugh that he thinks he gets a say. :)

    This is exactly what my DH thinks! I am secretly praying he is right!! Wink $$$

  • I think ginny will definitely be in the arts (thanks to mama!) she LOVES her books so maybe she'll be a writer or illustrator (dh is pretty creative as well.)

    I won't let her go to medical school. I want her to have a life!

    ;)

  • As of right now, I would say an entertainer.  She is such a ham.  She knows how to put on a show for people and when she sees the digital camera or the video camera, she turns it on.  It's so funny to watch.

    ah yes us too.  DH has long since determined that little michael will be a shortstop for the yankees when jeter retires... ;)

    daphne.... i think some sort of speech therapist or vocal couch.  she is hilarious with her vocalizations...

  • Genetic Researchers.
  • We played a fun game at DD's 1st birthday party that is similar to your poll. I got 10 small items she had never seen before and each one represented a profession.  For example, a toothbrush was a dentist and a book was an author.  The first thing she picked up when I put it in front of her is supposed to foretell her profession.  She picked the measuring cup in one hand and the baby in the other so I am going to say a chef and a mommy.

  • Griffin will be a linebacker for the NE Patriots b/c he's ginormous and all boy! Lilly will be a marine biologist b/c she is a swimmer-girl and loves animals. Finley will be a host of a tv show b/c she's so interactive, funny, emotional and always giggling. 

  • Ben will be a Quarterback for the AZ Cardinals or a kicker. I felt him actually kick in the womb at 15 1/2 weeks.
  • I think that he will do something with computers.  Everytime we bring out the computer or our phone, he is all over us trying to touch it.  But all we want is for him to be happy and a contributing member of society.

    If my brother has his way - Robbie will be play Tight End for the Chicago Bears. :)

    TTC since 10/06 - Went to RE after 6 months of TTC due to AMA -Diagnosed with MIF 5/07, only option IVF with ICSI - IVF #1 cancelled due to cyst, never got to ER - IVF #1.5 10/07, BFP - Robert Andrew born 7/30/08 Lilypie Kids Birthday tickers
  • He is happy, dramatic, handsome, and out gowing so I say SF Mayor or founder of a Non-profit. I am totally projecting my loves on him but who cares!


  • I have no idea but DH wants him to be an RE. I have to admit that would be AWESOME!
    *** It's funny because I'm fat ***
  • DH and I think she'll be the first female president :) She's got a very presidential name lol
  • Just yesterday I said that I think my LO will be an engineer when he grows up.  We put him in his swing for the first time and he seemed to be looking at the swing/gear mechanism, like he was trying to figure it out!  He also appears to be studying everything--and as my friend Radler mentioned, "filing" it away for future use!  :o)

    (And as an aside, I think it is really funny that I think my son will be an engineer because in his father's career field, in the military, there is quite a rivalry between his profession [bomb disposal] and the engineers!)

  • We think Katie will be a writer or teacher or librarian.  She loves to read and she is very serious when looking at a book.  She loves to point to objects then "talk" to us.  She'll nod like shes said her point.  It's too cute.

    Karly has to be a dancer or something.  She is always on the move.  Dh says Soccer player but shes too slim and petite. 

    Whatever they are, it'll be their choosing.  We will introduce activities to them and follow their lead.

  • Ethan takes apart EVERYTHING he can. and then puts it back together. Stacking rings are no challenge, shape puzzles bore him...

    I think engineer....

    My husband thinks he will be a programmer, too, because he is constantly typing on our laptops!

  • Like many of your DH's mine thinks he's going to be a ball player (football, baseball, or basketball--take your pick) because he's so coordinated (hits ball of a tee, throws a football and kicks it) and because he's so tall. 

    I think he might be a doctor because he's so interested in patching everyone up and my mom had poison ivy on her legs and Ben helped her put medicine on it every day.  Now, he'll start scratching his leg and ask for the pink medicine...LOL!

  • If dh has his way mybobble baby will become an engineer just like him.

    Im not really sure what he'll be. I keep joking that he's going to be a gymnast w/ all of the moving and kicking he's doing.
