Can you handle another intro?

Hi! I'm new here and just got my BFP last weekend. I'm excited to join you all and wanted to introduce myself...

DH and I will be first time parents to this little nugget. EDD is August 3 and our first ultrasound is on Dec. 23. I'm an Implementation Specialist at an educational technology company and work mostly from home (great for the naps I've been needing mid-day). I'm a mom to 2 furbabies, Maddi and Cuervo. I just got married June of this year. Looking forward to what the next 9  months will bring (and mommy-hood afterwards too!).

Congratulations!!!! Lucky you getting naps. I'm on week 13 and still need them but am not as lucky as you.
Enjoy and I hope you have a great pregnancy!

Congratulations! DH and I are also first-time parents, so we're still in that 'initial shock' phase. My EDD is also around yours, and my first OB appt is on Dec 23rd. So jealous of your mid-day naps... I'm a Project Manager for a clinical trial software company, so I work from home occasionally. However, I'm sure one day my boss will catch me snoozing at my desk around 2pm (worst time of day for me). I'm also excited and nervous for the next 9 months. Good luck to you!

Congrats and welcome! Our EDD is July 29, quite close to yours as well. We are also first-timers, and are still in shock/surprise at how much our lives are going to change...

I made the mistake of reading one of those pregnancy books (Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy) last weekend and it freaked me out bigtime! I would much more strongly recommend Expecting Better, if you want to reassure yourself that everything is going to turn out great and that you can make excellent decisions for yourself and the bean.

I'm stuck in a 3-day workshop at work, and could absolutely use some of those naps you're talking about. 2pm is the WORST time of day.

H&H next bunch of months to you!

Thanks! 

@ajhamb I've been avoiding the pregnancy books for just the reason you mentioned. Once I'm ready, I'll look into expecting better.

@lorinben good luck at your appointment on the 23rd!

H&H 9 months to you ladies!  See you around the board .

I work from home too-- and my hub and I have two fur babies as well! I'm starting to think through all the things I need to make sure the dogs know before we take our little bundle of joy home this summer. Anyway-- congratulations and welcome to babyland!

@ljraff29 Thanks for your well wishes! I think we are all in for quite a bit of information in the next couple of months - its nice to know all this (and all of you) are here as a resource.

Thanks @livknight. I worry about our pups too. Especially since our older one is a little grumpy.  Congrats to you too!
