HazelBee22

Hey ladies! I figured since we're all going to be here for essentially the rest of the year we might as well get to know each other a little more! I know it will be a bit slow until more and more December mamas.
How many cycles were you TTC before your BFP?
How many DPO were you for your first positive test?
Any new baby splurge purchases yet?
Have you told anyone/when do you plan to tell family and friends?
Any gender intuitions?

Re: GTKY Poll! BFP style
How many DPO were you for your first positive test? Somewhere around 9, unless I unknowingly O'd way early.
Any new baby splurge purchases yet? Yes... I bought some cute jammies with giraffes and a little "I
Daddy" onsie. I couldn't help myself, I needed to buy something to make it feel more real. And it is TOTALLY hard to find gender neutral stuff!
Have you told anyone/when do you plan to tell family and friends? We told both our parents and DH's sister. The rest of the family will wait a few weeks. We aren't telling friends/coworkers until 12 weeks (if I can make it that long without spilling the beans!)
Any gender intuitions? Not yet. I'm really excited to see if I do have an intuition one way or the other. DH has successfully predicted the gender of three different nieces/nephew, so he is pretty confident he'll be able to nail it.
How many DPO were you for your first positive test? Somewhere around 20 days - I think.
Any new baby splurge purchases yet? Not yet but I only found out yesterday!
Have you told anyone/when do you plan to tell family and friends? We haven't told anyone yet but it's hard not to say anything. I am going to see my parents this week so I will likely tell them then. We won't tell anyone else for a couple of months.
Any gender intuitions? Not yet!
Any new baby splurge purchases yet?: Nope! The only things I've purchased are What to Expect When Your Expecting and FitPregnancy magazine. Have you told anyone/when do you plan to tell family and friends?: Both sets of parents know. We won't tell anyone else until we're 12 weeks along. Any gender intuitions?: I have a feeling it's a boy.
How many cycles were you TTC before your BFP? this was our first cycle - we feel very blessed that it happened right away!
How many DPO were you for your first positive test? 11 - very faint lines and digital was negative
Any new baby splurge purchases yet? I bought a Red Sox zip-up hoodie today as my way to tell DH
Have you told anyone/when do you plan to tell family and friends? my two BFFs know. right now DH wants to wait until Mother's Day to tell our parents (my parents live out of state so our opportunities are limited). We're seeing them the 3rd weekend in April and then for Mother's Day. Since we know we'll also see his parents Mother's Day weekend, he wants to wait until then. We'll tell everyone else after the 1st tri.
Any gender intuitions? not yet

How many cycles were you TTC before your BFP? 1st cycle off BC. I am still shocked (in a very good way).
How many DPO were you for your first positive test? 15
Any new baby splurge purchases yet? Nope, went to buy buy baby right after....but was truly going to purchase for my SIL. I made it out of the store without buying ANYTHING. I am proud...lol.
Have you told anyone/when do you plan to tell family and friends? Was at a family bday party and could not help it. My rule of thumb is telling anyone that I would want to know if something horrible, like a MC did happen. I don't see a downside to waiting to spill the beans if that is the case.
Any gender intuitions? I read somewhere that the closer to O day you BD...more likely to be a boy......so if that is remotely true, then maybe a boy. But I think its probably a load of bologna. DH and I can't agree on the find out/not find out debate. I want to wait, he doesn't.
that is a dangerous store! We have one too and I went this morning - I had to leave before I got too enthralled with everything!

We had actually stopped TTC. My husband's job required him to relocate ahead of the rest of the family, so he lives half a continent away right now. We met up for a long weekend for Spring Break and surprise!

Nope, it doesn't feel real enough to buy anything yet. Plus this is our third so we don't need much.
I've told the people that are my main support system. I knew they'd be excited and help me feel like it was real and that if anything were to happen they're the people I'd lean on.
