Do you have a gender preference?
Not really... whenever I've imagined having children they've been girls, but I feel that's more because most young children/babies in my family over the last 10 years have been girls so I'm more used to that. Husband's family has mostly had boys though, so I've thought about that more and more recently (plus we have some lovely names for boys)!

Finding out the gender or team yellow?
Spent most of my adulthood saying I'd want to find out, but now it's actually a real possibility that I'll have a baby in the next couple of years, I'm leaning more towards the surprise!

Any names you like?
Many! We totally agree on boy's names but not so much for girls!

How long until TTC: December 2017

Reasons for WTT:
Getting off BC in 5 days - using BBT for NTNP - I want to address any fertility issues now before actively trying. Using BBT will help me to establish whether ovulation is taking place and having my cycle as normal as possible post BC before TTC will ease some of the pressure
Also, DH wants to go skiing in December hence why we are only TTC then. He doesn't want to risk me being pregnant and falling for fear that we might lose the baby if I were pregnant by then

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC:
- I want to eat healthier and exercise more often
- Have ridiculously good looking skin with no pimples (LOL just haaad to throw that in there)
- I just want to make sure that my body is in the best possible shape so that I can give my little bundle the best possible start in life
- Also, it would be great getting to know my body and how it works in its unique way

Do you have a gender preference?
Ideally I would like a boy first then a girl. I love the idea of having an older brother to look after his younger sister but either way, all is in God's capable hands. For them to be healthy and happy is all that matters to me in the end.
