Introductions for newer posters?

HoosOnFirst

Hi all it seems we have some newer posters this week, or maybe some folks who have been here a while but only recently started posting. If that sounds like you, feel free to introduce yourself here! And feel free to ask any questions about the board. Welcome!

mommalombardi

Hey! I have been here for a while but just started posting recently. Im ellyn, 25 and married and have a 2 yr old daughter and another little girl on the way. I was on a few other pregnancy apps but they started becoming very dramatic and I'd rather not read that stuff. I'm here to share my experience with ftm!

Hello and welcome, Ellyn!

I introduced myself way back in the end of September but haven't really posted too much until recently. I'll re introduce myself, I'm Mary from NY, I'm 27, married, have a beautiful 10 month old boy. I'm due the 10th of June but will have a c-section the week before.

Hi! I'm Shannon, I only just joined this week (wishing I had done so earlier) I read a lot of the older threads and needless to say some of them would have been very helpful to me, or at least made me feel better that so many others were having the same experiences! I am a FTM due on June 12th- a little girl, my DH and I have decided to name her Claire.  I look forward to reading, posting, and being part of this community!

Good morning and welcome, you guys! :-h

teransands14

Hello, I'm Teran! I just started posting recently when we started having to see a high-risk doctor for our little one. I am 26 and this is my first pregnancy! Now I am really over concerned about every little symptom and this board has been so helpful!

LolaMarley23

Hello! I am Stephanie! I live just outside the Twin Cities in Minnesota! I am 23 and have been married for a year and a half We are expecting our first, a little boy, on June 16. We are planning on naming him Leo! I have been here a while just reading and exploring, but just recently started posting!  

teather5

I'm Heather, 29, from Texas. Married 6 years, expecting our first, a little boy named Connor due June 9th. I have been here a few months and post occasionally but as the big day approaches, I'm finding this board to be a great source of support and fun too. My pregnancy is considered high risk because of an echogenic focus on his liver. I have also had some high BP scares and will be closely monitored for the remainder of the pregnancy. Home stretch, ladies!

megtyrrell

Hi ladies! I'm not new here but I feel like I don't post very often and might not be recognized, so I figured I would introduce myself again! I'm Meg, engaged to be married December 4th and expecting my first baby around June 7th. My fiancé and I are very excited to become parents to our baby girl, who will be named Norah! Currently, we are parents to our two cats, Helen and Charlotte. I am a hair stylist and my fiancé works for a security company. I am 22 and he is 26. We are looking forward to this very exciting year! I love reading The Bump and being a part (even if it is a very small part) of this community!

bwow615

Hi Ladies  I have been on here for a while but not super active, I posted a little during the first trimester... but now as things are starting to get more real, I have been a little more active.  I am expecting my first baby, a boy on June 15th.  His name is Blake.  I will be celebrating 10 years with my SO on the 10th of June.  We are very excited to start this next chapter of our lives! 

Edit: My name is Shannon, and I'm 31

Hi, I'm Christina. Due with my second child June 11th, team green. Been learking for some time, but finally realized this is getting real. Thanks for being such a great support!

jansenlb

I'm Laurie. I'm 33 and this is baby #4 for us. We have 3 boys, ages 9, 6, and 3. We are finally adding a little girl to our family! I'm due on June 11, though the doctor is concerned about the sizes of my previous babies and thinks we may need to induce earlier. I had a scare with bleeding in December that is still unexplained but everything has been normal since then...thank goodness! I've been on the board for awhile but I'm not consistent on getting on here and honestly can't remember if I introduced myself before or not (pregnancy brain?!?). Anyway, I should be an old pro by now but I find myself feeling like a rookie as I seem to have forgotten parts of pregnancy/labor/delivery. This board has reminded me of a lot of those things and helped me prepare for what is coming!

toodaloo

Hey ladies! I have been here since we found out we are expecting. I post on occasion but never formally introduced myself. I am Jocelyn, 33. Married 14 years. Expecting our 4th(a girl) on June 4th;). We have a 13 yr old girl, and 8 & 4 yr old boys. We live in TX and I am an Air Force veteran:)

I'm Angie, lurker since October. Just recently started responding to a few posts. I'm 35, FTM, expecting twins. We're team green, and our due date is June 25 (although we are expecting that to be sooner).

yatesbaby15

I'm Richelle, from Arizona.  New to TheBump and stumbled upon the community boards looking for advice on a bunch of different topics as I am a FTM!  Expecting our little girl to arrive June 2nd and very excited!  I work full time as a nurse in critical care and will be returning to work full time after my maternity leave, so always looking for advice from others about the transition back to work.

lzamaree

Hi, I'm Lisa. I can't remember if I have introduced myself before so I will do it now. I'm 38 and have a two year old son. I am expecting another boy on June 20th. I don't post but have been reading other posts. It's been a rough pregnancy this time. So reading all the other posts has been very helpful.

NotISaidtheCat

I'm Sara 23, married, I have a 7 year old daughter and this is my third pregnancy (he's a boy!) due June 11th. I haven't been here long because I experienced some pretty soul sucking hyperemesis up until very recently and just didn't have the energy/motivation to join a community like this...but I'm really enjoying it now!

BethMarie1992

Hey I'm Beth, 22 and expecting my first child, a little boy, the 20th of June. Been a member of the board for a month or two but never have really posted anything. Will be taking on this whole mother thing by myself as I will be a working single parent with no support from my son's father, so I will always be looking for any helpful advice

virginiaunicorn11

Great hearing the various reasons different ladies hang out here. We have a lot in common but our own situations, too. Thanks for posting, and looking forward to engaging more with you, I hope! Wishing you all healthy babies, pregnancies and deliveries

MaliKaela

Hi Everyone, I'm McKenzie, and I am 31 weeks pregnant with our first. We are expecting a boy edd June 4th. My husband and I live in Louisiana while we both attend grad school (which has been quite challenging while pregnant). Like many pp's I have been lurking around for a while but I am finding myself further drawn to read these threads and post the further along I get. It has been great to know i'm not alone in many of the thoughts and feelings I have had during this time! Thanks!

bartonolivia

Hello I'm Olivia from Indiana. I'm a first time mom. I'm due on June 3rd. So excited to meet my little boy, Ezra Dean. I work full time in a nursery at a daycare. Joining so late because, well I had just found out about the app not too long ago. Love being able to discuss things with other moms.

emaddock

I posted a while back but I am Liz from DC. I have 2 children--a daughter who is 4.5 years and a son who is 2.5 years. This is our 3rd, another boy. I will have a scheduled csection during the week of June 8.

lwhrmomma

Hi ladies, my name is Kristen. I introduced myself back in November, but haven't been active on here in awhile. I'm a FTM in New Jersey, team green and due on June 4th. It is finally sinking in that in less than ten weeks, my DH and I will be parents! I love the support that this board provides, and am hoping to be more active in the coming weeks. Wishing everyone a healthy last trimester, and can't wait to see the birth announcements start to roll in!

MomEtoBe

Hey ladies! My name is Ashlee. I'm 28 and expecting baby #2 June 6! I'm a kindergarten teacher in Southern California, and I've been married for almost 6 years. DD will be 4 in July, and baby #2 is a boy! We've decided to name him Logan. Haven't had much time to post before now, but looking to be more active.

Mommaswizz

@kristenk727 whereabouts in jersey? I'm in middlesex county! Always excited to see another mom from jerz, welcome!!

disney815

I introduced myself wayyy back when this was a different app with a lot of drama, but who doesn't like talking about themselves right? So I'll do it again
I'm Sarah, 29 years old, pregnant with baby #3 due June 5. I have a 5 year old son and a 2 year old daughter- Tyler and Madeline. Baby #3 is Zachary. I live in Phoenix and have been enjoying this app since the beginning of this pregnancy. I own an etsy shop making breastfeeding covers and scarves for kiddos and women. I used to be a teacher, but now enjoy staying home while having this etsy shop as my hobby. Can't wait to see us all enjoying our new babies!

lwhrmomma

@Mommaswizz, I grew up in Somerset County but just moved to Burlington Co. Not a lot of jersey moms on here it seems- I'm the first of my friends to have a baby, so hopefully I can find a "mommy and me" group around here!

emaddock

In other news, I cannot figure out how to change my profile picture and add a new ticker in the new bump format. If anyone has any advice I am all ears!!

Mommaswizz

I'm actually a New Yorker at heart but I agree, not enough jersey girls on the boards!! So happy to have found some fellow garden staters

LaurenAnn0405

Hello ladies! I've been on here since the beginning mostly lurking but recently posting more. I'm Lauren 28 from the Pittsburgh area due June 6th with a DS DH and I already have a beautiful 3yo DD so we're very excited to add a boy to the mix! I have to say this app was extra helpful when I was in the ER all Thursday night and half of Friday with chest pains (we're all ok) but reading the UO board really helped cheer me up

HoosOnFirst

@laurencearfoss, welcome and I'm glad you are all ok! Although I'm not from Pittsburgh, my family is all Steelers fans and my mom has already bought our little girl some team gear!

Glad you're ok now! I also live in the Pittsburgh area, welcome to the group!

angeliquecara

FTM. Baby girl due at the beginning of June. DH has 2 boys. Located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
I've been on for a while but really can't seem to figure the mobile version out very well and to be honest some of the "alumni" seem to get a little mad at newer women so I haven't ever really introduced myself. I don't know what a ticker is. Or a siggy. And most of the shorthand stuff just gives me a headache. My brain only has so much room for shorthand and the army has taken that space already.
