DH is at a mtg - so GTKY?

glaw · January 2012

Hi all - figured some people on the west coast might still be up. Or night owls on the west coast. Here are some questions I thought would be fun to answer so we can be in a positive mindset and believe our miracles are going to happen...for a second to imagine what it was like when we were more innocent...

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best? DH and I would love to have 3 healthy happy kids!
When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? If my work allows me to go PT then I will (working 3 days/week). Otherwise, I'll try to go back FT and if it's difficult, then I will quit and work on my own from home or maybe an office of my own near home
When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? With BFP#1, I surprised DH on his birthday. It was really special. I haven't decided if I will surprise him or not this time and he might already guess since we will be actively trying as opposed to last time which was sort of half-a$$ed
And a random non-BFP question for fun:
If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? Hawaii - specifically Maui. I would love to move there and never look back. But I'd miss my family and friends. In my ideal world, I'd bring them all with me!

GatorBaby2012 · January 2012

Good morning from the east coast!

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

Two

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

Work. Hopefully will find a good daycare, maybe eventually get a nanny.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

Probably tell him right away.

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

Santorini, Greece. We honeymooned there and it was so amazing.

keft514 · January 2012

I'm killing time this morning, so I'm game:

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

At least two. I used to want four, and still do, but with the trouble we are having, I am 32 and can't even keep the one yet! I just really don't want an only child.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

I work from home for some awesome people and DH is a realtor so we both have very flexible schedules and I'd like to be a working mom, but may cut back to part time. Like only work mornings or something like that.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

The more I think about it, I am thinking I will wait and tell him in a special way this time. Last time, shaking a pee stick in his face at 7 AM probably wasn't all that awesome

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

If the question was anywhere in the US, it would be San Diego. I have TONS of friends there and our dog sport is very popular there, so that is my choice.

Anywhere in the world, we'd live in Florence, Italy, where we got married. Or we'd live in Salzburg or Vienna. (Honeymoon (plus Paris, Rome, Venice!))

Deethebee · January 2012

Good morning all!

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

One

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

WOHM. My MIL has offered to live with us when the time comes so we can avoid daycare.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

I'd like to find a good moment to tell him. Last time I told him as soon as he walked in the door and he was caught off guard.

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

Mine is also Santorini, Greece!

SmileyIsMe · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best? In a perfect world, I'd love 4, though I usually go with 3 or 4. DH wants 2 or 3. I want to adopt, so we may end up with 2 natural (if possible) and 1 or 2 adopted.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? I am very lucky that I have one DD, so I already am a SAHM. I would like to go back to work PT in a year or so if I am not able to have another child by then.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? I'm in the 2WW right now, and 14 days after when I think I ovulated is DH's birthday. We're flying to Texas that day, so if it's +, I might wait to tell him when we arrive or something. If I don't get a +, whenever I do, I'll just wake him up to tell him.

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? I would love right where I am. I love being near my family. But I would love to take an extended vacation to England. Love British accents!

mijakach · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best? Ideally, I'd like to have 2-3. Right now, we're already having trouble with the first one so we'll see what happens.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? I worked hard in school for my degree and always assumed I would work full time until retirement. But if I do end up having kids, we'll have to see how I feel then.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? Ehh, I don't think I'll do anything special. I know this sounds horrible but I don't want to make a huge deal out of some crazy way to announce it because it could end up being for nothing. I'll probably just tell him.

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? I would love to live in Florida where it's nice and warm and the cost of living is so much cheaper than it is here. The only reason we don't live there now is because I'd have a hard time leaving family and friends.

Bizzy98 · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best? 2 or maybe 3, will decide after 2. I was a only child and hated it so at least 2.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? I will go back to work

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? I will tell him right away

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? Nerja, Spain. I did Study Abroad for school there for one of our weeks in Europe and loved it. So beautiful!

katharine25 · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

Two, close in age.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

DH works from home and will be a SAHD, in an ideal world I would love to go part time WOHM until pre-school age.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

I waited last BFP for 3 days (he was out of country and I wanted to tell him in person). He somehow knew already though - it was kind of annoying him asking everyday...I think I'll just tell him when I get my BFP this time

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

Provincial france - on a winery. But i would happily take somewhere warm and beachy.

shanrob · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?Believe it or not, it used to be 5. Now I would settle for 2

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? Work part-time.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? I am not telling him right away, since we've had too many losses and it breaks my heart to dissapoint him. I will tell him after a few weeks if it looks like it's not a CP

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? Hawaii for sure.

panacea05 · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

However many it takes to get at least one boy and one girl--within reason (no more than 4!)

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

DH and I have decided that I'll leave my job for a few years to be a SAHM. We're spending this year paying down debt like maniacs.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

Last time, I just showed him a pee stick while he was making dinner. This time, I hope to do something at least A LITTLE special--nothing involving waiting several days to share the news... but maybe wrap the test up in a pretty box or something.

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

We're all DH's mom has, so we're stuck in Cleveland. We almost moved to Colorado last year, but she wouldn't come with us. I couldn't bear the thought of his 70-year-old mother living a life of solitude.

jenn0021 · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?
Four

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? SAHM if all goes well.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? DH won't let me test without him so he will know the minute I know.

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? Honestly, I don't know. I kind of like it where I am. If it were short term, somewhere in Europe.

AngnShaun · January 2012

Nikki0514 · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

Ideally I would like to have 2 or 3. Depends on when I can have a healthy pregnancy. My dr suggested not to wait and not to go into my mid to late 30s because of my health issues.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

Right now I am the bread winner between DH and I so I would probably continue to work. We already have childcare set up because his sister and mom have to watch his sister kid who is special needs so they said they would be happy to watch the baby during the day until DH gets off work at 3.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

Probably tell him right away. He knows when my periods are suppose to be because he will ask or ask if I am late so surprising him isn't really going to happen. I think we will probably surprise the families next time instead of telling them right away we are going to wait until we get the all clear from the doctor.

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

In the US probably Boston since I love everything about the city. In the world I would say either Germany (DH loves it there) or Sydney Australia.

ecmleo · January 2012

glaw:

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best? I have always wanted 3-4 children. I still hope that will happen.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? I will probably work after the first, but then would go part time after the second. Maybe progress to a SAHM after the third.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? We do a different type of charting and DH is involved in our daily charting, so he would know when I would be testing/if I would be testing. It would be nice to surprise him, but it would not work for us.

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? I would love to live in Aspen. I love nature and love how much of the activity revolves around nature out there.

I think I will just tell DH. And a random non-BFP question for fun:If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live? I would live in New Zealand.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination? I will likely go back to work at first and transition into part time or SAHM.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away? Just tell him, I'm not into the cutesy stuff plus I will be freaked out.

ElizaSquan · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?
Three. I would want more if we had started earlier, but I think three would be lovely. At the moment, though, I would be happy with one healthy child.
When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?
Work...probably at work because of the kind of job I have. It would be nice to work from home one or two days/week, but I would still need a full time nanny because I would be on the phone/computer all day.
When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?
Just tell him. I'm not very creative. Last time I sent him a picture of the stick to his phone.
If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?
Napa, CA. I love the culture and lifestyle there. It is so beautiful and I feel relaxed as soon as I get there. And since I am dreaming, I'll add a vacation home in Paris.

nuttycoconut · January 2012

Hi! I posted on the newbie GTKY a few days ago and the April Angels post 2 weeks ago. We are TTA for a cycle or 2 so that's why I haven't done an official intro post. Anyway I like these so here you go:

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

3 but DH wants 4 It doesn't seem like it will be an easy road for us so I'd be ecstatic with 2. And I couldn't care less about the b/g combination at this point either since we already had both. I'm just hoping for a full-term pregnancy like all of you.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

SAH for a year then go back. Then do the same thing for kid #2. I need the insurance for IF treatments. DH's insurance only covers 1 IVF and mine is unlimited. If I end up not needing my insurance then I'd like to SAH for a bit, until all kids are in elementary school at least.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

Either tell him right away and show the pee stick like last time, or do something semi-cute like wrap up some booties or a one-sie since we have a nursury full of baby stuff.

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

If you could live anywhere in the world (and afford it) where would you love to live?

I'm obsessed with NYC. I would only do it if money was seriously no object, like I could have a driver and a huge penthouse apt. with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Big Smile Otherwise, it's not worth the hassle to me and I can just visit on weekends.

Petunia844 · January 2012

Ideally, how many children do you want if everything works out for the best?

We used to want 2, but now that we have Peyton in heaven, we'd love 3 so we can have two kids at home with us.

When you do finally have a baby, will you SAHM, WOHM, or some other combination?

I will work from home part time. If I feel I've taken on too much I'd SAHM.

When you do get a BFP, are you going to check with your DH or surprise him in a special way or just tell him right away?

DH made me promise to tell him every time I POAS, so he'll know right away.

And a random non-BFP question for fun:

I love where we live now, I don't think I could ever go far from my family.

I'm in NJ which is super expensive. I could get a house in Florida that's half as much as mine and is still nicer. My sister keeps saying she wants to move to Florida. If she ever does, I would have to follow.
