What do you and your DP do?
I'm a physical therapist assistant and inventor

How long have you been TTCing?
That's an interesting question. I'll try to keep it brief. I tried TTC a few years ago and found out I have a unicornuate uterus (google for more info) after two cycles. So, Inger tried 5 cycles and we think she had an early miscarriage. But then she decided it was too hard on her heart (it broke a little more with every BFN), so we stopped. After some time off, we decided to adopt. But then after a little more time, I decided that I wanted to try and get pregnant again, so here we are. But I was on this site a few years ago when there were only about 6 or 7 of us. My, have things changed!
Have you always wanted children?
Yes, for as long as I can remember. I saw my cousin born at home, and I was blessed to be in the delivery room when my SIL gave birth to my soul daughter, AKA my niece, Sophie. Sophie is almost 6 and the light of my life. I also have a nephew, Aiden, who is 4 and is all boy, and migrates to Inger. So, it all works out when the kids have sleep overs, because Sophie likes to be with me and Aiden likes to be with Inger.
How many do you want? What sex?
Seeing how I'm almost 39, I don't have much time. Ideally, I'd love to have 2. As far as the sex, it doesn't matter. I just want to be a mom.
Do you have names already picked? What are they?
Noah Doram for a boy, and the girl's name is still up in the air. Inger likes Kyra and I like Sydney. The middle name will be Kathryn after my great-grandma.
Tell us about your favorite vacation.
I grew up in Lake Tahoe, so every time we go there is wonderful. However, Inger and I took a vacation to the DC area last year. We stayed in Alexandria, VA and went sight-seeing in DC every day for 4 full days. My mom and dad went with us, and we had a blast. We had a 2 bedroom suite and took the Metro into DC every day. We had a private tour of the Capitol (impressive) and White House (unimpressive), toured the Library of Congress, went to the Smithsonian museums of American Indian, Natural History, Air and Space, walked along Barracks Row (my dad is a retired Marine), oooh, and took a night time limo tour of all of the monuments. I would have to say Iwo Jima Memorial was the most impressive under the lights. We're hoping to go back soon to tour some more.
