I came across your blog on TBB. You are absolutely hilarious! Can't wait to catch up on your posts. I wish you the best of luck on your TTC journey :) ~New follower from frommrstomom.blogspot.com
I was genuinely touched by the sweet thought and wanted to respond immediately... immediately after I determined the meaning of TTC. I decided it was a baby related acronym (fair assumption) and racked my brain for baby words that begin with "T". My first and last guess was "tiny", so I moved onto "C". Again, my brainstorming produced only one result: Child. Did the acronym stand for The Tiny Child? No,
My own devices left me nowhere so I turned to the internet, of course. I started by googling the acronym itself. That was a quick fail. It only further confused the issue:
TTC = Toronto Transit Commission
TTC = Trident Technical College
TTC = Table Tennis Club
I returned to my initial instincts and narrowed the search with "TTC baby". A-HA!
TTC = Trying To Conceive
Who knew there was an acronym for the term trying to conceive? Answer: not me. Before starting this blog I didn't know the terms DINK or SAHM either. Apparently acronyms run rampant in the online world of pregnancy and babies. But I think that's more about the online factor and less about the pregnancy and babies factor. When it comes to live conversation the terms "unofficially trying" and "officially trying" and "plain old trying" remain standard. You may remember my post on the subtle differences between these highly technical phrases (here).
What other acronyms don't I know? I know C-Section (DUH) and I just recently heard the term VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). What else?
