Newbie here & Excited! TTC for #2!

Hi All-

I've been lurking for a few weeks now, but finally DH and I have decided to begin TTC #2. My daughter is 17 months old and was born on Feb. 4, 2002. Her name is Riley--If you haven't noticed by my user name!! I am looking forward to trying again and having a small baby again. I feel like I can't even remember her when she was that small now. But at the same time I am concerned how she will deal with a new baby and all. Hopefully she will be about 2 1/2 before the new one arrives-that is our goal.

I also work full time as a socail worker with new moms, mostly families at risk. So I work with alot of teen moms--I just talked with a 14 yr. old who had a baby yesterday--so heartbreaking. But I really enjoy my job of helping people. I plan to continue to work once I have a new baby. We are lucky and have grandmas who babysit for us.

Well, sorry this is so long, just wanted to do a formal introduction. My AF is supposed to arrive today so if she does I will be trying in a few weeks!

Good luck to everyone TTC!

Welcome! I'm sure your daughter will be a wonderful big sister. I had the same reservations with my kids but it's amazing how everything just comes together!

Good Luck!

Hi Tina,

Welcome to the board! This is a great place for questions when you have them or encouragement when you need it, so you've found a good place to be. Good luck in your TTC journey, and I hope your stay here is short and sweet! :)

HI Tina-

I am a new here too- and in the same boat as you! My DD Lauren (as you can tell from my user name) is 16 going on 17 months born March 02! We are TTC baby #2 starting this month, and hopefully I will get pg within a few months--- last time it was within the month we started, cross my fingers it is that easy again...

I also work full-time, as an textbook anaylst... and DH owns his own business so we are luckliy that dd only goes to DC for a few hrs everyday- he goes in late in the morning I go in early... plus she also goes to her Nani's house (Grandma) once or twice a week...

Good luck to TTC - maybe we will meet up again on the April 04 Expecting Board (or some month after that)!!!
