I thought it would be good to bring back a tradition for a PG and TTC weekly check-in for the Seattle Babies Bump board.
Here is a post from last summer on what it looks like:

And I will editing this post as everyone wants to join in and posting for the check-in.
We have 6 Pregnant Bumpies!! Please specifically call out if you are new to the post and would like to be added to the list. If you are pg, make sure to include your EDD. Also, please be willing to participate on a somewhat regular basis. It makes the check-in more fun! ~Thanks!
