I'm not a today-newb, but I've only been here a few weeks. 1. Favorite food: Mexican 2. Any other children or is this #1: my Ruby girl just turned 2 3. Why did you seek out TB? I was a knottie back in the day. TTC DD took a long time & then I had a high risk pregnancy, so I figure I better join in for #2 4. What is your biggest pet peeve? People who cling to ignorance when the information is right in front of their face. 5. What is your occupation? Teacher turned stay at home mom.
Diagnosed with multiple infertility factors July 2011
1. Favorite food - cheeseburgers 2. Any other children or is this #1 - This will be #2 3. Why did you seek out TB? I wanted a place that was full of fun, intelligent women who knew a lot about TTC. DS was planned but it all happened so fast and I had no clue how my body works. 4. What is your biggest pet peeve? When people leave the lights on in a room they are no longer in. It annoys the hell out of me. and 5. What is your occupation? SAHM. But before DS I was a lead teacher in an infant classroom. It was the best job ever! (Besides what I do now)
1. Favorite food - Probably a tie between pizza and tacos
2. Any other children or is this #1 - TTC #1
3. Why did you seek out TB? - I used to be on TK so I knew this existed. Then after lurking I realized how awesome you ladies are.
4. What is your biggest pet peeve? - I have a ton lol but lately it's if I call you and you don't answer but then like 5 minutes later you're posting selfies in IG, I wanna throw my phone at your face. So. Rude. Oh and ETA not returning phone calls really grinds my gears too!
1. Favorite food: Chocolate and Mt. Dew 2. Any other children or is this #1: I have a DD, Elaina, that will be 2 in July. 3. Why did you seek out TB? I was on TK in 2010 when I got married, then joined my BMB when I was pregnant. I'm on this board because people IRL don't know we're TFAS. 4. What is your biggest pet peeve? Cleaning up after other people... I'm a neat freak! 5. What is your occupation? SAHM, but I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. Other Stuff: I'm 24 and DH is 25. We met when I was 16 and dated for 4 yrs. before getting married. He's the love of my life and a wonderful daddy! We also have a cute little dog named Kayla, who was our first "baby".
2. Any other children or is this #1 - DS is 8 months old
3. Why did you seek out TB?- I was a complete lurker during my first pregnancy and feel a bit guilty about that. Determined not to let that happen again.
4. What is your biggest pet peeve? People who can see that you are obviously absorbed in an activity that ask you if you are busy. Why no, I was just pretending to have something to do in the hopes you might keep walking...
5. What is your occupation? Customer Service Management in a call center.
Other random fun stuff: DH and I are also big gamers and met through an online game Dark Age of Camelot. He was a wizard, I was a cleric...ahh fun times. He's from Missouri and came to meet me in Ohio, then moved here.
BFP #2 - 8/17/14; EDD 4/25/15; loss discovered at 9w2d (showed 6w3d). Natural MC 10/04/14
3. Why join TTGP/the bump? I have been having trouble with my cycles since stopping BCP and wanted to find some info about what to do. In lurking here I thought all the ladies seemed really knowledgeable! Also, we aren't telling anyone we are TTC at the moment, although that might change after our IF testing this summer.
4. Pet peeve? People who talk AT me and tell me all about their day and their stuff and never ask me once how I'm doing. Then when I say something about me they continue to talk about their own stuff again!
5. Occupation? Teacher

and
5. What is your occupation? I'm currently and LVN (DF too) in a General Surgery/Colorectal/Vascular clinic working on my BSN. I wanted a medical field job right out of high school and the wait list programs here are long, and financially, I couldn't stomach the thought of being a financial burden on my mom so I ended up going to school to become an LVN and move out and on from there.
Other deets: I want to be an L&D nurse or work in a Trauma Center. I'm 22, DF is 25. We have a total of 5 dogs but my mom keeps 4 since she's alone most of the time. I looooove coffee! A lot. A lot. I'm getting married in September on the 27th, three days before my birthday!
"As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen." -Winnie The Pooh
So since I've been lurking for a few weeks now I thought I'd do this!
1. Favorite food - pasta, pretty much any kind of pasta, especially things I just randomly throw in the pot!
2. Any other children or is this #1 - trying for our first.
3. Why did you seek out TB? - I was just searching around for answers to my questions and found it. And like some of y'all, we aren't telling many people we are TTC, so it's not like I can ask my mom these questions I have!
4. What is your biggest pet peeve? Um... I have a lot actually, but I'd have to say its stupid people. But I can't hate them too much because it's my job security. Speaking of job...
5. What is your occupation? Police dispatcher. So I have very weird hours.
Other stuff about me, I'm just turned 28, and have been married for a year a half to my DH, we have 3 dogs who are all very spoiled. I love to read, watch movies and just hang out at home with the DH. I love my job, and have been with my department for 7 years, it's a very stressful job, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
