I have done a lot of soul searching and me and dh have had to work a lot of stuf out this past month and we had the whole when should we ttc talk. So we decided to come up with a list of a few things that we want to do before we start ttc, a sort of bucket before the baby list. We decided that we def want tro take a trip to somewhere we have never been even if its just for a long weekend as long as it is to a place that we have never been to before. We need to buy a new car so that I know we will have a safe reliable one. We both want to get another tattoo (an expense that we might not want to pay for once we have a baby), and I want to get our house in basic order since we moved in in october and still have not finished unpacking These may seem like silly and basic things, but it is what we have talked about, and then decided that these are all things that we could accomplish by the fall and maybe start ttc then.
What is on your prebaby bucket list?

Re: 'bucket list'
ooooh! Great question.
- get into the best shape of my life
that's pretty much it, we've been everywhere we've wanted to go so far. There's more of the world we want to see but we can wait a few years to do those big trips again.

I am taking regular vitamins right now. I am going to take prenatal ones when we start ttc (or maybe starting the month before). I read a few things online and one said a multivitamin is enough for the time being.
and we are going to Montreal in June for DH's birthday and Italy in Septemeber for our 1 yr anniversary and we are going to start ttc on the trip... ya know 'when in rome'

One thing you should take that is not in a multivitamin is folic acid - helps regulate everything and such. .
on our buckets list - hmm would be a Sh*t load of travel but my ovaries are OLD so let's just leave it at DH gets a job!!! then we're good to go!
Awesome!!!! Have a great time ob both and thanks for the vitamin info!

Re: 'bucket list'
Honestly - there's nothing we want to do before a baby comes along. We've both traveled the world, sowed our wild oats and are ready for baby. I guess that's the benefit of being older. Right now we are waiting another month or two before TTC just so we can put some more $$ into the bank.

Money in the bank is a good one we r going to open a sep account for the baby that will then become a college fund

Re: 'bucket list'
i guess since we were prego (unfortunately we lost the baby) we kind of done everything we thought was important to us. The only things we were & kind of still doing are 2 things.
1. Looking for our third home. We want to rent out the one we own & live in now & the beach house we own is rented already. 2. We wanted a 7 passenger crossover. I was looking at the Audi or the Acura.
I guess thats it.

Re: 'bucket list'
Go to at least Greece this Summer, and purchase a house. I'd like to go to Antigua and Italy and Switzerland too, but let's face it, we're not made of money, or getting any younger. I just have this fear of an accident happening before we get to go on our HM. I hope to get to at least 1 of the other places besides Greece before a baby, but we'll see.

Re: 'bucket list'
I want to finish or be almost finished with my PhD before we start TTC so probably 1.5-2 years. I want to travel a bit more (Costa Rica, Spain and Italy (again)). I would like for us to be in a better financial situation...DH still has some debt from starting his business. We are a little older and have had plenty of time to have fun! I really want to start trying before I turn 35 so I have a year and a half.
