    Thanks guys, I am beginning to feel better but it just seems to be taking forever,

    I started taking pre pregnancy vitamins and folic acid today, thought it can't do any harm!

    I keep finding myself 'shopping' (adding things to my basket on various websites and then not actually buying!) for baby things! I guess if I started buying the odd thing it would just tempt fate?

    I just hate waiting :(

    Maybe make a scrapbook, or build up a whole baby bookmarks folder? Then you're planning and browsing without feeling like you're jinxing things. :)

    But if you do make a scrapbook, I'd hide it. If people came across it you may seem a little crazy :rotfl:
    There is hope for us yet

    A baby bookmarks folder is a good idea! :)

    Just stumbled across this, I've been looking for somewhere to talk about pre-TTC!!!

    My Age/Partners age: 32/44
    Time together: 10 years, married for 7
    What are you waiting for?!: I'm self-employed, worried to death about losing my income! We already have two children and I always wanted 3 or 4. It's a case of when not if.
    When will you be TTC? Late 2014
    Any preTTC prep? Paying off debts as well as saving.
    I'm taking my mind off TTC by...I'm obsessed, can't stop thinking about it. Hubby will go with whatever I say so it may be that we start trying earlier than planned.
