    Are babies on your brain? I have SERIOUS baby fever...

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What?  We originally planned 4 years after the wedding so we could buy a house. FI wanted to have kids 3 years ago.. and his dream would be to get pregnant on our honeymoon. We've compromised and we'll start TTC one year after the wedding.

    How many do you hope to have? I'd love to have multiples! 2 babies atleast but would love 3

    What are your fav names? Peyton, Addison, Elise, Grayson, Aidan, Kalli, Gia, Amaya, Anaya, Alton....

    Ooooohhhh, you have serious baby fever now???  =)  Babies are totally on my brain.  I can't wait to have them!  I think FI wants them soon, but maybe not as immediately as me, lol.  But we both want them soon, and he even said it would be cute if we had a honeymoon baby because it would be born near our birthdays.
    I'd like to have 2, but we'll see.
    Pretty much no names go with what my new last name will be.  But I like Cole, William, Sawyer, and Walter for boys (so far).  For girls: Hannah, Clara, Glenna, Piper, Bridget, Violet, Willa, Greta, Josephine, Penelope (these last two would NEVER work with our last name).  Oh, and I actually like Sawyer for a girl too, with a really feminine middle name.

    Are babies on your brain? Yup! 

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What? In a couple of years.

    How many do you hope to have? 1-2

    What are your fav names? Lily, Ericka, Lauren, Justin, Derrick...I know there's a couple more that have been floating for a while, but those ones have been around in my head for a while.  Shoot, I remember telling a co-worker several years ago when I was still single how I'd already picked out my wedding colors and was contemplating baby names.  Her response: "Umm, don't you need to at least be dating to someone to even begin considering all that?"  My response: "Minor detail I'll tend to later."

    Are babies on your brain? Sort of... we talk about it now and then but aren't sure babies are in our future. I find myself warming up to the idea.

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What? If and when we have babies, it'll probably be a couple of years down the line.

    How many do you hope to have? Maybe we should play it like the Duggars and let nature take it's course. Or not! Maybe 1 or 2.

    What are your fav names? FI likes the name Laura for a girl. A boy for me would be Joel or Nathan :o)

    You can't have too many baby polls.  : )

    Are babies on your brain? Always.

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What?  We'd always planned on honeymoon.  Recently I've been thinking about changing jobs and putting it off a few years.  I think I was just getting scared.  I've been reading a lot about age and fertility, etc. lately, so I think we're back to trying right away.  We've been together a long time and are both ready for kids.

    How many do you hope to have? Two for sure.  Maybe more, we'll have to see. 

    What are your fav names? They change sometimes.  Right now, Mateas for a boy and Kylea for a girl.  I really liked Malia, but I'm afraid it'll be too popular now b/c of Obama.

    Are babies on your brain?Only somewhat, mostly because I have a "plan" for when each milestone. Right now we're working on buying a house and so that brings about discussions of what rooms would later work for kids' rooms.

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What? My "plan" is to start TTC in about 2 years. I want some private married time with FI all to myself. :D

    How many do you hope to have? I kind of would just like 1, FI debates only children (he was) versus siblings (mine are 10 years older!). It is interesting to watch my two nephews together since they're only a year apart. We'll see what time and nature brings (but definitely a few years between if we have more!)

    What are your fav names? Well, all my favorite names wouldn't work with the new last name unless I'd want to saddle them with alliterative AA names :P So I've had to let go my love of Aiden and all the girl names like Anya and Ana. I'm still fond of Charlotte, Chloe, Elise and for boys I always love Nicolas and have recently become fond of Declan.

    Are babies on your brain?  Yes, no and kind of!  I do want children - but I swear, I feel to immature to have one any time soon!

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What? We're not TTC too quickly - we would like to buy a house and i need to figure out if grad school is in the future.....so maybe in 3 or 4 years? 

    How many do you hope to have? 2

    Are babies on your brain? Yes, don't mean I need them now, but once we're married we're pulling the goalie!

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What? After we're married, and preferably after an increase in raises, which is soon.

    How many do you hope to have? 3-4 I come from a big family

    What are your fav names? We already have two picked. My FI wants a Jr. And it's a toss up between Savannah Scarlet and Savannah Victoria for my little girl.

    Babies are totally on my brain. I went out with friends last week and got to hold a 6 week old for an hour. He was such a great baby.

    DH and I decided that once we get approved for our home loan we will start TTC. We have probably another 6 months before we get approved but thats good for me. We originally wanted to wait 3 years but I just don't want to wait that long anymore.

    We want to have 3. For a boy we have chosen Edmund Michael  and for a girl Tecia Rose.

    Hahahaha...I was thinking of responding something similar. I love Emmeline to death, but I haven't stopped worrying since I got my positive pregnancy test back in 2008. Sleeping past 7:00 am is a thing of the past also...actually, if you ladies could do me a favor and sleep in for me, I'd appreciate it. :)

    I love that Elise made some of your lists...that's my mom's name (we're Swiss-French), and she's only met a handful in her lifetime.

    Are babies on your brain? I will admit that I am thinking about them more often now then when I wasn't engaged.
    When are you planning on having babies? Certainly not for 3 years...possibly even longer - we're young!
    How many do you hope to have? FI and I both like the idea of 2
    What are your fav names? This is the reason they are on my mind more often lately. I find myself obsessed with names! Some faves of the moment are: Gabriel, Ellis and Desmond for a boy and Luella, Lenora, Evelyn, and Charlotte for a girl

    Are babies on your brain? As I put it, my uterus exploded about 5 years ago. Babies make my innards go squishy.

    When are you planning on having babies? We're planning on starting our family before we turn 35, which is in 5 years, but mostly after two years of married life.

    How many do you hope to have? Two. I'd like more, but FI is an only child and wanted just one, and so we compromised at two.

    What are your fav names? If I told you, I'd have to kill you. XD No really. For a girl though, I love the names Beatrice, Bianca, Savannah, Emma, and Evangeline (mostly so we could call her Eva, Eve, Evie without having a really short name). For a boy, I like Keaton and Elliot.

    Are babies on your brain? Oh yes babies are on the brain. I almost feel obsessed! I've always wanted to be a Mommy and now that I found the man I want to have them with I'm SOOOO ready! Lucky for me he is very ready too.

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What?     We were planning on trying right away however the economy has kept my DH out of work for a year and a half. He decided to go back to school and change his career path. We are waiting till he is done with school which is a year and a half away!  FrownDoesn't seem like very long but for us it feels like an eternity!

    How many do you hope to have? We are going to start with one and see how it goes. 2 at the max.
    What are your fav names? Believe it or not I haven't done a ton of thinking about this yet. I do like the name Olivia and Addyson for girls but I don't really have any boy names in mind yet.

    I know I've personally done this poll before but I love to know what people are thinking.

    Are babies on your brain?
    Sort of?

    When are you planning on having babies?
    We don't know. A lot depends on what the job situation for her is coming out of school this fall. But we'll probably have our first kid before we try to buy a house.

    How many do you hope to have?
    2. 23 year-old Nick wanted 4. 30 year old Nick thinks 23 year-old Nick was batsh!t insane.

    What are your fav names?
    I like Charlotte but FIe is not a fan :(. For a while I wanted to name a son "Robert Kennedy Mylastname" but now that seems mean. She likes Franchesca which I'm not a huge fan. Whenever we talk about hypothetical children we name them Eustace and Montana but those are just joke names (especially w/ Hannah Montana now). Charles is a family name so either one son will have Charles as a middle name or we'll find a feminine version of the name that we both like (I really wish she liked Charlotte Cry.

    Are babies on your brain? Yes, always, lol. We have pretty much talked about kids since our first date, haha.

    When are you planning on having babies? We will probably start trying pretty much right away. My only rule was that I didn't want to be prego at our wedding. We already own a house, and I don't work (medical stuff and it just works for us), so the timing works for us to start.

    How many do you hope to have? Three. We both come from families of three so it is what we are comfortable with.

    What are your fav names? I don't know, FI likes really boring names, lol, so it's an ongoing debate.

    Yeah, I just found that name recently. I really like the nickname Lulu and wanted an option less common than Lucy (although I do still love that name).  I really shouldn't be thinking so much about names though, because it's far off for us, but I can't help it!

    Are babies on your brain? I have SERIOUS baby fever...
    oh absolutely! i've wanted to be a mommy since i was about 4!! my H wants them too...just not yet. none of his friends are married/have kids..so he just feels so "old" compared to them...whereas many of my friends are marriend and on the baby track. so i'm itching like crazy (and so are 3 out of the 4 future grandparents...my mom thinks she's too young to be a grandma..).

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What?
    we had always talked about waiting one year..then stopping pills..and see what happens..if we get pregnant, we will be thrilled..if not..we will try not to let it get to us..if no babies happen within a year..then we'll start obsessing with TTC temperature taking, etc.

    How many do you hope to have?
    ideally, i'd like 2 or 3....i still can't REALLY decide.. whatever we get, i guess...but we have to have a girl. H wants to stop at 2 if we have 2 boys..but i'd like to stop on my 4th boy and admit defeat.

    What are your fav names?
    H has always been obsessed with the name "kirah" for a girl...after a video game....he's wanted it FOREVER..so..whatevz. he can have it. i just wanted to alter it to "kirahlin", so that she can take after her mommy, too. we don't have a middle name for the girl yet as i've ALWAYS wanted a "K" middle name after a BFF, but H's last name is K, and we can't have a KKK baby......

    as for boys..we've agreed upon "nathan james"..but i think i want to add a second middle name after his prosepective god dad..."nathan jaison james"    .

    Are babies on your brain? More now than in the past for sure.  Also, several of our friends are trying for or having kids and it makes it seem more like a reality in the near future for us.

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years?   Not until after the wedding, after we travel more and after I move up in my career a little.  So probably about 3 years from now.

    How many do you hope to have? 2-3. 

    What are your fav names? I like Gavin, Jackson, Payton, Jonah, Anthony and Quinn for boys and Genevieve, Norah, Alexandria, Ella, Virginia, Sophia, Mackenzie, and Ilene for girls.

    Are babies on your brain?
    Not really, still just Wedding on the brain

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years? What?
    My original "timeline" included me having the first baby when I was 28.  That is 3 years from now, and it seems kinda soon... but not totally impossible.  So for now, lets say in 3 to 4 years.

    How many do you hope to have?
    I really want 3, we both want more that 1.  3 seems nice so that we have a slightly larger than normal family.

    What are your fav names?
    Girls:  Blythe, Valerie, Hillary, and Scarlett (I like "older" sounding names)
    Boys:  Don't really have any favorites, probably nothing super common.

    Braveangel - I was a French major and studied the language for 9 years, lived there a term in college and am always drooling about going back. So for me, I LOOOVE a lot of French names! Elise is my favorite. And Nicolas pronounced the French way. My dad, brother, FI and FFIL all have the middle name Allen so I'll keep that spelling for a boy, but really do prefer Alain. :) Oh yeah, and PP mentioned the one I forgot to say Genevieve (but pronounced French which would irritate the crap out of my poor kind). I actually always liked Isabelle (haha, it actually was the name on the birth certificate for my cabbage patch baby) and Edward but now thanks to Twilight, I can't use those :(

    Are babies on your brain?  In the past few months I've definitely felt some baby fever! I work at a childcare center and so I've been loving spending time in the baby room!  I've wanted to be a mom forever, but this is the first time I really feel ready.

    When are you planning on having babies? Honeymoon baby? A couple years?   I think we're going the "couple years" route...but it's the kind of thing that if it happened, we'd be just fine.  I would love to fit more traveling in before we start a family though. (Europe!!)

    How many do you hope to have? at least 2, maybe 3

    What are your fav names? FI really likes Alaura and Mikayla.  Alaura is growing on me...We both like Natalie, Lucy and Lily.  Boys names are tougher,  I like Benjamin, Alexander, classic names.  My FI comes up with Sartorious and Achilles!  Hopefully we'll have a girl first so we have more time to hash out the boy names.
