I am just curious, what kind of pregnancy/baby stuff have you been doing while you are TTC? Do you have names picked out? Have you bought stuff for the nursery and for your LO? Have you thought about how to tell your DH and/or your families? What all have you done?
I just thought it would be fun to see what everyone else has done so we dont feel so crazy when we are doing this stuff.....it good to know that there are other people out there doing the same things....hahah

For Me:
I have been going name crazy lately....all I want to do is think of new names and pick out the names for our future children...
I also have been thinking of a cute way to tell DH. I know that we are going to do the personalized M&Ms as gifts to tell our families since we dont live close to either of them....
I havent bought any baby stuff yet though, but I have thought about it...haha

I started thinking about baby names about a year ago...it was what I would do when trying to fall asleep!! Well...now we have names picked out (Brendan John or Camryn Grace) and so I can't do that anymore!

I was originally planning on telling DH with Bailey wearing a t-shirt...but then after I had my m/c, I told him about that idea so I need to come up with something different. I will probably use the t-shirt idea to announce to the rest of our family though.

I haven't bought anything...we have everything from Bailey so unless its a boy we're pretty well set. That being said...if we DO have a boy - I'm going to have fun swapping out all of the pink girlie clothing for boy stuff - my attic is FULL of girl clothes!!

Becky, I LOVE your names....we pretty much have a boy fn picked out...its Mason but we are lost fo a girl...with a boy we have family names to decide on for mns, and for a girl the mn will be JoAnn in honor of both our mothers...

That is a cute idea with her wearing a t-shirt....very cute....

We have had names picked out since the first time I was pg. I have very few baby items and already used my cute ways to tell family that we were pg. I think this time I will just sent a pic of my HPT on my cell to my family with the text "pray for this one!" I really want to buy things but I can't make myself buy anything until I have a healthy bean on the way.

We have a boys name picked out. We haven't really discussed girls names yet. Aside from that we're mostly living like it'll never happen.

We are sort of living like it won't happen either. Even though we know we'll adopt if I don't get prego. We have a few things, but not much. I have my mom's dresser from when she was a baby and an ottoman from the babies room. I know what I want the nursery to look like, but we haven't spent any time planning it. I have names I liked, but the few times I've harassed DH about it, he doesn't have names. We both agree we won't be using common names. I won't tell him what I like until he comes up with a few of his own. I know that won't happen until we're prego and past the first trimester. There's a bunch of males names that I like, but only 1 female one I really want to use. I did tell DH it a few years ago and he really liked it. A bunch of the names I used to like have become very popular over the last few years, so those were all scratched off my list.

Last time I got prego, I told DH right away since he was waiting for me to take the test. I don't know if I'll do that again or think of some other way to tell him. During my 2ww, he always asks about my temps and how I'm feeling. If I had really high temps or had any inclination, I'd have to lie to him when he asks and I wouldn't like that.

We have some names we like and some baby clothes I bought before my blue period Everything else I don't even think about. When it is taking this much work and time to get pregnant (coming up on 10 months! EEK!), how can I?

We have 2 boys names-- Connor Michael or Cameron Luke, and maybe? a girl's name-- Madison Rose. I have a trash bag filled with clothes-- some from garage sales, some new, and I DOUBT I will be able to tell DH in a "cute" way, because I'm so anxious for that BFP. A real one, I mean, and not a false positive. IF I were able to wait, I would change the backgrounds on his laptop to a pic of the + HPT and write. "WTG Dad." {DH is a gaming freak and loves his computer acronyms}

To tell the rest of our family members, I plan to buy cards that say, "Happy Birthday Grandma/Grandpa/Aunt/Uncle" and then write inside, "Whoops, sorry it's not your birthday, but we ARE making you a/an {insert title here}". The next family birthday is my BIL's in August, and for the rest, we are all born between October-March on both sides of our family.

I'd LIKE to say I would be able to wait until 14 weeks (after the increased risk of Hashi's m/c has dropped) to tell our family, but I KNOW I won't be able to.

Obviously, our only spare bedroom, which we use as an office/glorified closet would be the nursery, and I like circular/polka dots for decoration-- pink and brown for a girl, blue and brown for a boy.

We both agree on Jack for a boy,and we both like Dale.
For a girl,we like Skye and Jade...............at the moment!!!,I love Zoe,but its so wrong with DFs surname.
Girls MN would be Margaret,as its a family name on both sides.
Boys MN would be Robert Arthur.

Hmmm i just noticed that all my names have 4 letters.
