Trying to Get Pregnant

GTKY 1.12


What are you looking forward to doing socially when COVID is no longer a threat?

Re: GTKY 1.12

  • I don’t know if this counts as social but I can’t wait to go back to church. I’m glad the technology for streaming exists but it’s not the same. 

    Outside of our families, the only social thing we have done since March is to meet another couple at a park with our dogs, so my standards here are low. I just want to go out to a bar with friends and drink/chat. Maybe even a crowded bar! It’s strange that I kind of miss that!

    Honestly not having so many social obligations has been kind of nice. I’m ready to see friends but maybe not quite as frequently!

  • Ooh, good question. Like @bows22 I mainly just want the freedom to be able to go sit at a bar with friends. More realistically though I want the ability to travel since many of my closest friends currently live in other states. 
  • @bows22 @fitzfizz yes to both sitting at a bar (even just with mh to watch a game or something) and to traveling. We went to Ireland in Feb. last year just before everything shut down and I’m so grateful we were able to do that but also sad now since we tend to do some sort of trip every February. 
  • I can't wait to go to a restaurant - indoors! - and then go see a Broadway show. And maybe even a bar after.
  • Vacatiooooooon

    Likely road tripping to the Chattanooga Aquarium again. That was a fun trip!

    I also can't wait for concerts to resume. The virtual concerts we've seen have been fun, but the atmosphere of a live concert is so much more.

  • I haven't missed out on too much socially - but most importantly I cant go back to not seeing my parents/grandparents like this past spring! I like to go to water parks and I can't wait until that is less risky, although we still went in summer/fall when numbers were lower. 

    Play dates and Monster Jam are also things "I'm" looking forward to!  :D


  • VACATION!! We have a pre-paid trip to the Smoky Mountains and really want to visit family/friends in CA & AZ. We squeezed in a Disney World trip last Jan before COVID was a thing so I'm not in Disney withdrawals quite yet... but will be soon!

  • - Travel to see out of state friends and family
    - Eat at a restaurant 
    - Go to a museum 
    - Attend a party
    - Plan a vacation 
    - Visit a mall
    - See a movie in the theater 

    Basically, I just want to do all the things again 😂
    **TW** TTC History
    TTC#3 since Nov 2020 at ages 35 & 39
    TTC#1 - 2 IVF cycles, 4 transfers, 2 miscarriages (LC age 4)
    TTC#2 - a very welcome surprise without intervention (LC age 2)

  • Travel! I browse airbnb and expedia still just out of habit and for fun.

    Funnily enough, my mom was retiring and had her 65th birthday last March, and to celebrate we were taking her on an all expenses paid trip to London (she's so selfless and had worked 2 jobs 7 days a week forever)... But the borders all closed and vacation was cancelled of course. We're looking forward to rescheduling that
