I'm basically wating to TTC, so I can hang here. We don't have a date really in mind right now, I'd like to wait until DD is a little closer to 2, and DS must be at least 1, they're only 10 months apart (whoops). It's kind of nice, but two so close is a lot of work, I'd like a bit more space with the next one. We actually have never TTC'd before, both were total surprise, unplanned babies.
Oh yeah, so I'm Ruby, DBF is Sid, and the kiddos are DD Ramona, 15 months, and DS, Holden, 5 months. We thought 2 would be just the right number for us, especially since we managed the whole "one of each" thing that seems important to random strangers we don't know (people will tell us, oh great one of each, so you're all done now! yes, stranger I've never met before, thanks for deciding to close up shop on my womb for me, that's great), but then we just started talking and were like "ya know, three seems like a better number", so apparenlty, it'll be 3. But even then I'm not giving the official "we're done" nod.
Anyways, I'm gonna jump in!

Hi Ruby! I'm Megan (36) and dh is Jamie (40) and we have two kids as you can see in my siggy! We are planning to TTC in the spring!
Strangers say the stupidest things...even people who are close to you do...I've only told a select few people about ttc #3 because everyone thinks my uterus has shut down!  Jump right in, there's a great group of women here!

Hi Ruby! I'm new here, too! DH(32) and I(29) have two little girls, 5 and 22 months  We are going to be TTC #3 as well, probably starting August 2012 if everything goes according to plan
Oh yes love strangers LOL, with 2 girls I already get lots of nice comments. People just ASSUME of course we will keep trying for a boy and that we will be like, devastated if it is not a boy. Yes a boy would be very exciting (and we actually are planning on swaying a little for a boy)....but SO WOULD A GIRL. SHeesh. lol!

Hi and welcome!!
I am Shelley, wife to Tavo and mom to Lorena Ann (06.07.09) and Vincent Robert (05.24.11). We are WTTC until whenever we feel ready, with a "plan" to pay off debt and get some money in savings. We are very much go-with-the-flow type people so we don't want to say any one thing for sure but I am thinking 1 year from now. We'll see.

hi hun welcome to the board
i also have one of each and i like you thought i'd only want 2 esp since i have one of we each but since dh mentioned a third its all i've been able to think about. i totally understand with people thinking you should be done at 2 with one of each, i get that to. we are going to be swaying for a girl next time cause i'd love to girls and boys are hard work (while i'm saying this though ds is being a angel and dd is sulking in her room)but because i have one of each i fell like i shouldn't be on a swaying board.
i look forward to getting to know you hun

Welcome!
I'm Trish mom to 4 kiddos and hopefully will be ttc #5 next winter. I get the "OMG you have 4 kids" from strangers all the time. Why can't people just keep their comments to themselves?

Welcome! My name is Megan, wife to Bryce and mom to Gabriel (15 months). We are WTTC until winter of 2013, so I'll be sticking around here for a while as we're shooting for a 3 year age gap. Waiting is hard tho! I look forward to getting to know you.
