[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! I can’t believe I’m posting here, but it looks like we’ll be TTC our first soon… very nervous and can’t believe it could soon be happening!
We’re waiting to start TTC until maybe [name_u]November[/name_u] of this year (does that still count??). We have a big trip coming up at the end of [name_f]October[/name_f]/early [name_u]November[/name_u] and it coincides with my 27th birthday. My husband just turned 30 yesterday, and we always thought this would be a good point to start trying. All three of my husband’s siblings have young babies so there are lots of little kids on his side.
We also have 2 nephews and a niece that all have [name_u]July[/name_u] birthdays, and so maybe it’s silly, but I really want to avoid a [name_u]July[/name_u] due date. I wouldn’t mind a Fall/[name_u]Winter[/name_u] birthday though.
While this will be #1 for us, it’s interesting to read everyone’s thoughts on ideal age gaps… I suppose once you start on the journey of having kids it’s something to think about. But I’d say at this point, I’m most nervous about conceiving… since it’s our first time trying, I just hope everything goes well! Best of luck to us all!
