GTKY- So who hangs out here nowadays??

Lee81

I got married in 2007 and used to frequent the Knot/Nest/Bump while planning my wedding and for a few years afterwards. The Central PA boards were fairly active at the time with a really nice group of ladies. I disappeared for awhile and I guess everyone else did too. I got pregnant last year and started visiting the boards again and I was surprised by how quiet things were! I see a bunch of intros in the past couple months and I was thinking how nice it would be if things picked back up again. I thought perhaps a GTKY might help. Couldn't hurt, right? 

1) Where do you live?

2) How long have you been with your spouse/significant other/baby daddy/whatever?

3) If you have kids- how many/how old?

4) If you're pregnant- Congrats! When are you due? Do you know if it's a boy or girl? How are you feeling?

5) If you're ttc- Good luck! Have you been trying for long (if you want to talk about it)?

6) Do you have any pets?

7) Anything else you want us to know about you?

8) Anything else you want to know about us?

1) I live in Reading. I know I'm farther east than most of the people who frequent this board, but I'm too far west for the Philly board, so this is the best fit. 

2) Like I said, we got married in 2007 (August 18th). We've been together since 2003.

3) I have one daughter, born this past October.

4) Nope, nope, nope! I certainly hope I'm not KU again this soon.

5) See above. Maybe in another year or so. I'm waiting for this one to get mobile before I decide if/when we'll try for another.

6) I have ALL the pets. Not really, but we've got two dogs, two cats, and a tortoise. It seems like a lot when I'm looking at the hair balls all over my floors.

7) The only thing I can think of that I'd like people to know is that I'm not really sure why I posted this. My maternity leave just ended a couple weeks ago so I have minimal bumping time these days. I really hope I remember to come back and check for responses!

8) I can't think of anything else at the moment. If I could, I would have included it

Fun!

1) Live in Lancaster - been here almost 11yrs. Jersey born & raised.

2) Together 10yrs, will be married 6yrs in February.  

3) One daughter - born May 2011.

4) One on the way - due May 2014.  Keeping it a surprise.  Feeling as good as I can while chasing a toddler around.

5)

6) I have 3 cats, a Senegal Parrot, a parakeet and a 20gal saltwater aquarium.

7) I work part-time in event rentals, as well as part-time as a Tastefully Simple consultant.  Party during the day, party at night, what can I say!  Both are a lot of fun and can easily say I love what I do.

@lee81 that's funny!

Truth be told, I never really got actively involved in theknot boards -- my day job had me working in the local wedding scene, and I never wanted anyone to think I was spamming the boards by offering opinions/recommendations/etc.  My feelings are too easily hurt by strangers.  Boo.

1) Live in Millersville, Lancaster County.

2) Ryan and I have been together for 11 years, married 5.

3) No kids yet.

4) Got our BFP last week at 4 weeks exactly. Due 11/5/2014. Too soon to know, but I think it will be a girl. Other than having no appetite, and feeling like I need to fall asleep at any second, but not being able to actually sleep ever, I feel fine. I'm 5 weeks today, and if I hadn't taken 6 tests in the last week, I don't think I'd believe I am pregnant.

5) We were TTC since July.

6) We have two cats - Mister Meowgi (10) and Bok-Bok (4).

7) I'm 32, soon to be 33, a nerd, a dessert chef and a foodie, a goofball, and a loner. I don't like snarky mean people. They need therapy. And a hug or something.
