Anyone want to introduce themselves? Or reintroduce?

khaleesi123

Hi ladies,

I feel as now there is a bit of a fresh start happening I would make this post for any newbies that were too shy to introduce themselves before or anyone that has always been here and didn't post much to avoid backlash. Or basically anyone that wants to reintroduce themselves to the new community!

My name is Sarah, 24 years old FTM to baby girl whose name keeps changing throughout pregnancy 24 weeks 4 days. I'm from Sydney Australia annnnd i like gaming (currently far cry 4 and assasins creed unity for anyone that cares)

Hello! I'm Kristin and I'm also a ftm with a baby girl. We are due May 7, which makes me 26 weeks today. We've chosen Lillian Rose (we'll call her Lilly) as our little princess's name. We live in Kentucky and work at the derby (which is May 2 this year). Don't yet know if we'll make it this year, but it is only appropriate to have a derby baby since that is where we got engaged.

Hey! I'm Marissa. 22 years old, FTM and 23 weeks 3 days. We're having a girl and her name is Ella Elaine. I live in Columbus Ohio so it's freezing at this moment in time my coat won't zip over my boobs which sucks so I'm currently online shopping lol!

Hi! I'm Lola STM to Alexandra due May 21. I live in CA with my son age 6, hubby and two cats. I used to be a gamer until I became a mom (Warcraft) now I can only manage a few rounds of candy crush. The shame...

I'm Gabby, 21 year old FTM with a baby girl. I think we've finally agreed on a name for baby: Charlotte Grace. The due date is May 25, so she might be a June birthday!
We live in Minnesota, though I'm hoping to move someplace with a little warmer winters!
@khaleesi123‌ I assume you're a Game of Thrones fan as well? I'm currently in waiting for the next book to come out, though from what I've read there hasn't been much progress...

Hi my name is Janette, 26 years old FTM with baby boy (Dennis Jaxon) due May 1st. I'll be 27 weeks tomorrow. DH and I live in southern California with our 4 fur babies 2 Dogs a cat and a mini pig. This baby was a huge surprise as we were told last year we would have to do fertility treatment due to me having PCOS. I joined TB when I was 20 weeks and found out we were expecting but was weary due to all the drama going on

Hi. I'm shelley, 27. Ftm of baby girl due May 18th. I'm from Tennessee. It was a nice warm day here today ! I noticed someone else on here was doing the middle name mae. I love it. It was my grandmother's middle name. I just recently started checking out these forums since we'll be cloth diapering and I've been getting a lot of good advice from that group. I'm glad i missed out on all the drama !!

khaleesi123

@gkrenzel‌ yes I am a game of thrones fan the show will be out just before we give birth so hopefully that will keep us from thinking about labour (probably not haha) I just realised I have made myself sound really nerdy with my GoT name and talking about gaming..

@leelee72‌ I hope everything is ok with your little bubba x

I realised I didn't mention my due date 18th May!

Shanfrey82

Hi Everyone!! I'm Shannon, I am 32 (gulp) and this little baby girl will be my third. I have a 12 year old daughter and a 10 year old son... BIG space between those two and this one I live in Oregon and my due date is May 23rd. Welcome to everyone and I enjoyed reading the posts. I actually had an account since I found out I was pregnant but asked to have it deleted because it had a lot of personal info and I realized that wasn't good, so I've been here but am now (happily) part of this community.

shan820

Hi I'm Shannon. 36, FTM with a baby girl after a long time trying. Due 5/15/15. Can't decide on a name! I have a long list that includes just about every girls name that you all have mentioned so far

Mae was my grandmother's middle name, as well! She always hated her middle name, but I love it!

Hey all - I never formally introduced, I don't think, during the "old regime"

I'm 39, FTM to twin boys. Currently 23 weeks with a target due date of May 9th. These boys are growing fast and this bump is no longer a cute little bump - I'm petrified at how big it will be at 30+ wks on my 5'1 frame...

Glad to be here and will pipe in here and there as long as general mood of board remains open and welcoming!

ashby83

Hello! I'm Ashby. I'm 32 and Baby boy is due May 21st. First child (boy) is 11. I was also shy on posting but feeling a little more comfortable. There have been wonderful topics that really helped me out and made me feel normal and not so freaked out! I was 20 when I had my son and don't remember pregnancy being this challenging and scary.

Megaphone2752

Hi! I'm Megan. I'm 28 and a FTM with a baby girl due May 8th. We live in Arizona and I've been here since I found out I was pregnant in September, but haven't posted much before.

mamajama3

Hi everyone! I'm a FTM due May 7th with a little girl. We had an early scare in the pregnancy (a moderate sized subchorionic hematoma) but luckily it went away and she's healthy and happy now . Coming up with her name is so hard! Live in CA and my husband and I are in our 30's (hoping to have more kids, if we are so blessed, after this baby). It's nice to meet you all! I hope everyone has a healthy pregnancy and easy birth.

curlylaura617

I've been a lurker mostly too. My name is Laura and I'm a 3TM. I have 6 and 4 yo girls and will be adding a 3rd. Due May 22, but having a c-section earlier due to major complications with the birth of dd 2.
Nice to meet you all!

EmLove61

Hi! I've replied to some posts but don't think I've actually introduced myself!

I'm 27, a FTM due May 8th and we are on team green! My DH and I live in rural grain-farm country in South Dakota and are so excited to be parents!

I have been stressing big time lately because our baby has one kidney that is dilated, we did a follow-up ultrasound and it was bigger yet We have another ultrasound schedule at 32 weeks. Pray all will be well for our little one!

smurf605

I'm also from MN. I have two boys 3 and under.

Hi all, my name is Anna, FTM due May 22nd with a little boy. Hubby and I currently have three cats and a baby cornsnake. I'm a gamer in the old school sense (mostly board games like Carcassonne or Dominion)
I have really been enjoying the new attitude around here

TBsquared

Great idea!!!!
I am a STM, I have a daughter who is 2.5 years old. I'm due may 13th and we are having another girl which we have decided to name Sloane! Haven't picked a middle name yet! I was due May 25th with my first and delivered June 1st so these girls will have their birthdays quite close!

PregoMedic25

Hey everyone....I'm Sen, I'm a married 30 y/o third time mother, son is 10 and my daughter is 4. My due date is May 25th and I'm having another girl (whoohoo) even tho I was secretly hoping for a boy but baby girl is healthy so that is all that matters. Sorry don't have a name picked out yet...still battling DH about that! We live in Baltimore, weather hasn't been too bad so far but I don't wanna put my foot in my mouth. I work as a paramedic currently on modified duty sitting at a desk all day...yaaahhh. Never really posted anything but I've been around since I had my daughter in 2010 and now I'm back again just mainly a lurker. Never really had any questions or concerns about anything, usually I ask my doctor, or I already know because of either experience or my medical knowledge. Other than that hi everyone and I hope that all you may mommies have a wonderful, exciting, and healthy memorable pregnancy!!!

rosannewild

Hi everyone! I'm Rosanne and a FTM to a very anticipated baby girl, Arya. I may be the oldest expecting momma here at 45. I joke that it sometimes takes a village of drs to make a baby. We had a long journey to get here and can't wait to finally hold our baby who is due on May 20th. We're looking forward to many changes and challenges in the next 6 months, including a move to another state and all the chaos that may bring. My husband and I have two cats and two dogs who are doted on.

My 16 year old is called Ayla. So similar

LadyBlood

I've been lurking since I found out at 4 weeks, but was never very comfortable posting much before. My name is Cassi, I'm 24 and a ftm to a little boy due May 2 (so I'm 26 weeks and 5 days) little man's name will be Aiden Maddox. I'm originally from Oregon (go ducks!) But currently living in Washington state due to hubby's job.

manacita

Oh! I'm so glad to see this thread. I've been around since the beginning and tried to chime in an be helpful, but I think I'm actually a lurker. But I am happy to learn more about everyone.

I'm Lee, and I'm a 35 yo third time mom. I have a boy who is 2.5 and a daughter who is 1. All my kids are 18 months apart.

We're having a boy. His due date is may 31, but I usually pop at 37-38 weeks. We'll see what happens this time. For now I want to name him Angus. I know lots of people don't like that name and have taken a lot of crap about it. It hurts my feelings but I also recognize where people are coming from.

I too am a gamer! Most WoW late at night occasionally. I used to play a lot of other games on several different platforms but then I had 3 kids in 3 years. I'm also a gardener and a crafter.

Nice to meet you all!
