Pregnancy pact summer 2015 people

[hermione]

Traitor.


JK. Congrats on making a decision!

[pugz]

ooh justjen make a secret pregnant poll again!

and not it. @starry and I are in a race to get knocked up though. My bet is she'll get pregnant first though.

[cincodemayo]

woooooooo!! that is awesome.

I'm 99.99% sure we will start in June after a beer festival we are going to. I hope to have a spring 2016 baby.

[spk926]

Yay!!

Nope, not secret pregnant here! I'm banking on June being the month I get knocked up so I can have a March baby. If not then we'll try for April, then May. As a teacher maternity leave in the spring is the best because it buts up to summer so you can get up to 6 months off (hence trying and hoping for March!). Plus, my daycare lady doesn't have an infant opening until August 2016 so I can't have a baby before then.

That's awesome! It's so nice having supportive parents. My mom is very similar and I'm so appreciative of her.

[ilikedonuts]

I saw the title and who posted it and went "what??? yay!!!!!!!!!!!"

We are planning on trying this summer too, spacing will be 3.5 years or so. I am both excited and terrified.

[AlpineSlide]

I'll join this group but it might be more like spring time rather than summer.

My parents are like yours too. They are the best grandparents!

When i was pregnant I heard my dad tell someone that he thought they were never going to get grandkids for the longest time but then they started coming every year.
(My sister has 2 and I have 1. We both were married 7 years before having a baby so that's why he said that.)

I love to hear him talk about his grandkids b/c he was not an emotional father.

[SallySparrow]

We're trying this summer! Hopefully A won't be terribly disappointed when she has to share attention.

[glitzy07]

Count me in! Earliest we would try is April after my own boozy vacation to a music festival. Woot!

I am not currently pregnant!

But, we will TTC during/ after our Germany trip in late May. So... Spring 2016 baby here we come.

We also discussed the timeline for a hypothetical third baby last night. But, I was verrrrry drunk, so.... One baby at a time.

[Deleted]

I'm relieved to be part of a group of women who plan TTC around opportunities to drink heavily!

[magpie]

I might be in. We'll see...

[babyrn]

I'm hoping we will be able to do a FET in spring or early summer!

[lolo]

We will probably start trying in May/June. My sister is getting married in October or we would likely be trying now.

We are going to TTC #3 this summer after our trip to Vegas in April with my BFF and her DH for our 30th bday.

And @this, we had similar reasons for going for #3. We want holidays and such to be big ans crazy and fun. Our kids won't have very many cousins, so more siblings it is.

[dcrunnergirl]

Not sure if it's any consolation or crazy people unite, but holidays are a big reason we had a third kid and we'll likely TTC 4.0 next summer. W
We're two only children who always wanted tons of kids around on Christmas.

[winemaker06]

This is so interesting to read. I'm currently dealing with a lot of 'what-ifs' around whether we will ever have a second child. I'm a planner and just want to make up my mind, but at 11 months out, I'm still a little scarred from the newborn stage.

That said, at my first job out of college, I was still in the 'I never want kids' camp. I had a great boss who asked me things like 'How do you picture your Christmases when you're 50?' and we had some good discussions surrounding that.

It did not change my opinion immediately, but obviously I decided a kid was in the cards. But that one conversation has really stuck with me over the past 8 years. So it's very interesting to see other people using that kind of thought for their decision-making too! I keep asking DH the same question, but he won't give a straight answer.

Right now I have no idea how we would fit a second kid in our small house. But if we do go for it, we're thinking of TTC in July or August for a little over a 2-year age gap. Yikes!
There could be a MMM baby boom in 2016.

[curbsideprophet]

Future holidays was a consideration in us going for number #2. No regrets! Good luck everyone!

[chickens987]

Yes! Being around lots of kids so far this holiday has really reinforced that we want a second for sure. I am really confident in our planned 3+ year age gap too.

Add me to the putting off to drink camp too. We have a family reunion next summer and the only way I'll be able to handle it is if I can drink heavily. So we will likely start in July or August.

[humpforfree]

Woo! May I join in please?

[dulcemariamar]

If I finally decide on a second, we wont go for it until next summer. I like the ides of 3.5 age gap.

[anaps28]

Just thought I'd come in to say I'm only 10 weeks into a 3.5 yr age gap and I have to say it's pretty great.

[booboo173]

Can I join to? Original plan was right after he turns one next month but now I'm leaning towards the summer so they'll be two years apart

[Saudade]

Possibly late summer. DH hasn't decided if he's in but if he's in that's the spacing he wants. We'll see.

[changedname]

We are going to start ttc in Jan so um, next week lol?

I had trouble ttc DD so we want a head start in case it takes a long time.

[bunch]

Still in! As heygrey pointed out, I'm also super impatient and impulsive, so maybe even spring. 2 kids is awesome!

[bowies]

My H and I said we'd start trying when DS turns 1, but seeing how fast the first 6 months have gone, I'm not sure I'll be ready. So...TBD.

[water*drop]

Future holidays played a huge party in our decision-making about a second, too. While on one hand, I get that it's a stupid reason because obviously there's no guarantee that siblings will get along, etc, on the other hand, there's no chance of any of that if we don't have a second kid, so it's not THAT stupid of a reason.

It took me a good two years to move from feeling like I was obligated to have another baby to feeling like I WANTED to have another baby. Now I find myself lurking on GP and jealous of women I see who are KU.
