Re: Get to know you? (non-clicky poll)

  • career: nanny which is awesome because I can take the baby with me to work :)

    age:  DH and I are both 24.  I'll be 25 December 14th, DH turns 25 in February.

    ice cream:  ben and jerry's chunky monkey. followed by cherry garcia, half baked, americone dream, and plain old rocky road or moose tracks.  oh or a M&M blizzard, McFlurry, or Frosty.  haha.  not too picky when it comes to ice cream, actually...

    trying: we "tried" for almost a year (10 cycles I believe) but I wasn't charting or anything.  I went off BC and expected it to happen right away and it didn't and it didn't and it didn't finally we stopped trying and it just sorta did.

However, DH and I were living in Germany for the past 5 years, and when we moved back to the States I was 2 months pregnant. We both agreed I would be a SAHM, so I decided not to look for a job once we got to MA. 

    (2) Both of us are 28, and I will be 29 when LO is born. 

    (3) My favorite ice cream flavor is Blue Moon-odd, I know! I tried it for the first time when I was three and I fell in love with it! 

    (4) It took exactly 4 days. DH and I decided on March 31st we would start trying (I had been charting for 4 months) and I got pregnant on April 4th. Crazy!

    To be honest, I have never actually looked into it... I personally don't think its bad because I can't imagine that there would be raw egg in ice cream that people can eat all the time.  I have been meaning to google it for while now....

  • Career: SAHW. I graduated from college in December and my first out of school job was temporary/seasonal. I found out I was pg a month later so didn't bother looking for anything else since I plan on being a SAHM. The restaurant I worked at in college has a location out here as well so I may work 3 or 4 shifts a week for sanity. 

    I'm 23 and DH is 30.

    Ice Cream: Any variation that contains chocolate. My favorite is chocolate with brownie pieces and raspberries from Cold Stone.

    We were planning on trying a year from now, but were pleasantly surprised.

At the moment I'll say Fudge drumsticks if that can count :) (4) If you were "trying", how long did it take you to conceive this baby?   Ughhhh! We got pg the first time when I was on the BFing pill and didn't know it (because I had migraines with stroke symptoms, my doc didn't feel comfortable giving me a beefy pill). This time, I was on a good strong pill and was religious about taking it.... One of two things happened, or both combined to make this baby. In Feb I took antibiotics and even asked the doc if it could affect my BC, was assured that that is a myth, and so did not backup. Also, one morning I left the house without taking my pill, and didn't get it until around 5pm, about eight hours late... Either way baby #2 is on her way and we're glad to accept her and love her just like our first :)
