Hi Ladies,
I just thought that I would put together some TTC and PROJECT BABY acronyms/ abbreviations for you! I think the most of them we already know, but I often had problems to remember one of this (maybe because I’m not a native speaker), so
it’s pretty easier to have them also in the 2013 Baby Bumps as well in the both other groups.
