First Jabs

• My son is 8 weeks old today, how the past few weeks have flown by, he has he's first jabs next week, i'm dreading it, my husband can't get the time off work to come so i'm having to do it on my own, i hate seeing my bad cry, as any parent would. getting the capol in at the weekend ready. - littlesteph

waiting to try making more broody - April 23nd

Ok so me and my husband agreed just after our son was born that when he's 3 months we'll start trying again, we've even agreed on a boys name if the next was to be a boy, a girls name we agreed on 3 years ago. If I had it my way we'd start as soon as AF has finnished, I'm finding the whole waiting to try worse then the 2 week wait and we tried 25 months for our son. I think thats another reason why I want to start so early because of how long it took. it's crazy how broody i am and my son is just under 8 weeks old. I'd had to think what I'm going to be like when we do start to TTC. - littlesteph

April 20th - some things we do while waiting to try

Here are some of the things ladies have said they've done while waiting to try. The things sales can do to us :).

•  I have managed to acquire 4 boxes of baby stuff now....off ebay. I didn't realise it was getting so out of hand!! I've limited myself to 1 thing a month now....Luckily my OH doesn't seem to mind that much as he thinks we are saving money in the long run by not having to buy everything from the shops!! I do worry myself!! - Baby and bump member

• I have a wardrobe (ok, it's really small and not full, but still) of baby clothes, blankets and cloth nappies... - Baby and bump member

• I am glad I am not the only one!! Picked out which pram I want to!! And bought a gorgeous Cath Kidston changing bag...because it was in the sale!!! - Baby and bump member

• My craziest indulgent would have to be looking at baby dresses and petticoat skirts even though i have a boy. He'd look a bit crazy walking around in a frilly pink dress and a flowery headband - Baby and bump member

• One thing i did while i was pregnant was peed on my hand, here in the uk we get giving a little pot to pee into before every appointment, the pot must be about 1cm wide, so when it came it second midwife appointment i tried peeing into the pot and instead of it going in the pot it went on my hand. needless to say i didn't do it like that again. - littlesteph

• The daft things I suppose would be lying with legs in air after dtd - very unsightly I'm sure!Pretending NOT to observe every detail during my cycle whilst secretly obsessing over them all, I guess I like to drive myself nuts and I'm sure I'm not alone there. I also tell myself I'm not going to test early either but my poas addiction always gets the better of me. If OH new the real number of tests I get through he would definitely think I was mad -  weebubba

• Every time I had a sign or symptom I looked on the internet to see if it was pregnancy related. Then I convinced myself that I was pregnant when I had so many symptoms during the TWW.
  Lesson learned- Early pregnancy and pre-AF symptoms are very similar. Almost every 'early pregnancy symptom' that you have during the TWW, you can also have before AF arrives. - Jelly.Bean

• When i was pregnant with my little boy i was making my husband a coffee and instead of putting the milk back in the fridge i went to put the coffee jar in fridge, luckly he stopped me before i had actaully done it. - littlesteph

•  We haven't had a baby yet and are just waiting to try. Sorry I haven't done anything too crazy yet unless I course you count looking at baby clothes, maternity clothes and baby equipment on eBay plus I have my someday in the future private wish list on amazon where I put pretty baby things I find. Not to mention my secret pregnancy board on Pinterest where I put anything from articles about getting pregnant to disciplining young children....
  Maybe I'm a little bit crazy!! Plus I have a baby name app to look up names I like and I'm obsessed with reading funny stories about pregnancy brain. I just like to call it being prepared. - Baby and Bump member

• - sometimes I stand in front of a mirror and stick my tummy out to see what I might look like when pregnant. We aren't trying for five months!
  - I made a baby name list, including color coding for rankings on popularity charts, and listing their meanings
  - I've already bought a toddler fairy costume that was precious, a birthing/exercise ball for pregnancy and birth, and I have made a quilt, and crocheted a little baby hat -  Baby and Bump member

• The funniest thing I've done is buy a sewing machine and tried to teach myself to sew. That was pretty crazy as I am not a crafty or artsy person. I failed sewing in home economics because at the time, I thought it was old fashioned and way too girly for me to care about it. I spent one new years eve STRESSING over a patchwork quilt that I was trying to make and eventually gave up on (in order to preserve my sanity as well as my OH's). We both look back on that new year's eve and laugh.
  I've bought quite a few things already from Ebay over the past few years. I've made several wish lists of things I'd like to buy. Some of the stuff I wish listed so long ago the products are not actually available to buy anymore.
  I'll happily admit that my planning is a bit out of control. I am certainly aware that my OH thinks I'm a little bit nuts. Especially seeing as before I turned 25 I didn't even know if I wanted children and he talked about having a baby waaay before I did. Then I turned 25 and BAM! I have several favourite Mommy Blogs, listed in order of preference in my bookmarks. - Baby and Bump member
• Yesterday while watching a movie with my dh he turned to me and said " I really want a baby ruth!" I got all excited that he was wanting to have a baby, then confused about the ruth part, then realized he meant he wanted the candy bar. I guess babies are on my mind! - WhitheartsQ
