Before babies...

...is there anything you plan to do before you have babies?!

For example, it was a life long dream of my SIL to run the New York Marathon and she did!

Do you guys have any personal goals that you'd like to accomplish before becoming a mommaaa!?

Re: Before babies...

i would want to own a house and to travel a bit ...

these may or may not happen, but the one thing i won't budge on is that i'd want / need DH to have a better full time job (his current job is awful on so many levels but he's having a very hard time finding anything)

Re: Before babies...

I wish I had the money to travel... and really want to swim with great whites... I don't think I'd do it if i had kids though.

i'm not in any rush to have kids.

Re: Before babies...

definitely would like to own our own home before we have kids. there are a number of travel destination on the list that we want to get to as well. not sure what else, but we don't plan to have kids for a few years, so between now and then, things could pop up!

my running goal was to run a marathon before i was 25 and i did - age 23, nashville country music marathon with team in training, rasied over $3500

Re: Before babies...

Own our own house as well. I would say to travel to a lot more different places but if we're saving for a house AND traveling we won't be able to have kids for another 10 years. I'm about to be 28 and I would rather not start having kids around 35, so as of right now I'd like to own a house.

O! And pay off all my credit cards!

Re: Before babies...

We just want to buy a house.... as we're not planning on human babies - we want more space & a yard for our Furbabies.

Re: Before babies...

We already have SD so all the things I wanted to do BC (before child) are out the window

Aside from actually getting in shape...I don't want to start TTC until my body is where I want it to be, otherwise I'll have a harder time losing weight after the baby comes.

Re: Before babies...

If we had money -- I'd say lots of things.

I always wanted to backpack Europe and go to Australia to dive with great whites.

But... we don't have money. So regardless of babies -- those things wouldn't be happening right now.

I'd love to buy a house first but... that's also not gonna happen.

We have nestled into our little tiny one bedroom apartment and came in here with awareness that we'd probably end up not just two, but probably two with baby in this apartment.

I just want DH and I to both be as healthy as possible with as little debt as possible before we get pregnant.

We'll work it out with a kid here -- we're just trying to get by as cheaply as possible for now.

DH already knows I want to run a full marathon before having babies...although with my knee out of commission who knows if I'll make it this year.

Re: Before babies...

Eliminate debt except for student loans (ive come to accept the fact that theyll be there forever

) and get healthy. I need my body to be like a beverly hills mansion for my baby to live in and not this run down studio apartment on skid row that it is right now

Re: Before babies...

Move back to Long Island (we miss it dearly now that we live and work in CT) and buy a house there.

Definitely travel more, we are going to Europe in May but we would also like to get to South America as well.
