    Greetings!
    My name is Jaci, and I'm 22 (until december) I'm pregnant with my 2nd and last child, and I know it's a boy! :)
    My daughter, Violett Allysin is freshly 2 years old, and I'm with the same father. My fiance, Ben is 25. We plan to get married soon. Our little family is about the only thing in life that makes sense right now, so I really cherish them ^_^

    Oh, and I like the name Eden.

    I guess I could also add:
    I live in Texas
    I love Netflix
    I'm very spiritual
    I collect crystals and live astrology
    Fiance is a video game nerd, but he's REALLY sexy so it's okay lol
    I'm an introvert. I like me time.
    I love to meditate.
    Oh. And I make pretty cool jewelry with crystals incorporated. I should have my Etsy up soon :)
    One Love.

  • Hi! I'm 29 and my husband and I are expecting our first child. I will be 16 weeks on Friday.
    I've been lurking on here since I found out I was preggo. But I posted for the first time today!
  • I'm 43 with two step sons full time. Engaged since Dec. 2013. In no hurry. Have 3 big cats. Due Feb. 17th. I'm gaining too much weight and need motivation to exercise!!!!! We are hoping for a girl but big brother wants a brother.
  • Hi my name is Cat, I'm 27. My husband is 32. I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I have a daughter who just turned two. I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant, after having a miscarriage at 13 weeks in March. All seems to be well so we are very excited! I'm a SAHM, and love it. We just bought our first house in November last year, and are loving it. I finally have space for a garden!
  • I guess I should introduce myself since I have been lurking on here for 2 months now and have posted a few times. I'm Jennifer, I live in Alberta Canada, 33 years old this month and 14 weeks pregnant. The DH and I finally decided to have a baby after being married for 3 years and dating for 9 years prior to marriage. We were lucky and conceived within the first week of trying, but it hasn't been a easy pregnancy so far. I have narcolepsy so I'm exhausted all the time and even more now that I'm pregnant. Also, my DH is in the military so he has been gone away on exercises a lot over the past 3 months and isn't here to help me when my whole body hurts from exhaustion. I went off all my medications except for one before TTC. My specialist and OB said I had to stay on the one medication but I'm worried because there is a high chance my baby will go through withdrawals and be in the NICU.

    I'm going to try my best to participate and stop lurking.
  • Hey girls! I am 25 and DH is 26. This is our first pregnancy and we are due on Feb. 20! I have a feeling the baby is a boy but all of the old wives tale symptoms point to a girl... I don't find out until the week of Oct. 5. It can't come soon enough...! ❤️
  • Hey, this is my 3rd pregnancy and I have never been apart of a group like this, this is fantastic. I have two darling girls and ready for my 3rd. I am 13 weeks! I feel horrible and ready for this all day sickness to go! I had two miscarriages this past year, so feeling a bit nervous that everything will be good! I just found out I have a small blood clot under my placenta, so feeling fearful of that! I'm loving all of the comments, and enjoy reading, thanks'
  • My name is mandi and I am 28 and my dh is 29- we are on baby number 2! Our son just turned 3 and cant wait to be a big bro!

    I am a school counselor and my dh works for the state of CT. We have a fur baby, Lexi, that just turned 7. Our family loves hiking, kayaking, camping- pretty much everything outdoorsy :-)

    We are due on February 29!

    Hi everyone!!
    My name is Chalisse (shuh-lease) ((people butcher it all the time)), I am 26 (27 in Nov.), married 2 years to my high school sweetheart (together 10 years) DH just made 30 in May. This will be our 2nd child (4th pregnancy), our little guy made 18 months on the 1st and he is our everything!! I am currently 13 weeks this pregnancy (due Feb 24) and super excited to find out what we're having (because this pregnancy is so different than my pregnancy for my son). We have 3 Maltese dogs, a chocolate lab, 2 cats, 4 horses, and some chickens (that our son loves to chase around lol).. I am a SAHM (working for a fabulous company called ItWorks for 4 years) and this job has allowed my husband to be able to only have to work part time so that he doesn't miss out on our kids first and them growing. I make a substantial amount of income that will soon allow us to be debt free and be able to build our own home on our 12 acres of land!!! All of this made possible by ItWorksGlobal ❤️❤️


    I've attached a picture of my family below just because!!



    Just throwing it out there that if anyone is interested in learning more about the company or what I do please feel free to ask me!!!

  • Hello everyone!

    My name is Johanna 30yrs old on my 4th pregnancy 1boy(10) & 2girls(4 & 2) I live in Mexico on the border with California, married for 8yrs used to be a SAHM but since we decided its time to move into a bigger home and buy a bigger car so we could try for a new baby who came sooner then we thought we thought it would be nice if I got a job and help with the new expenses since Im sure many of you know Mexico is not a very rich country specially when you're decent people and have legal jobs, but I do love my life here I was raised in Arizona so it was a little difficult to get used to life here but after 5 years I grew to love Mexico and my parents love to come visit 2 even 3 times a month, anyhow can I say I love this site!!!

  • I suppose I should introduce myself.  I'm Tracy from MN.  I'm 29 years old, turning 30 in February.  Hubby and I were marred 3 years in April and will have been together 6 years this coming September.  We tried for exactly 1 year before we finally conceived this LO, so needless to say I was a little shocked as I had pretty much resigned myself to having to go through fertility treatments to get pregnant.  So far things have been pretty uneventful and hoping and praying things continue that way!

  • Hi! My name is Ashley and I'm 24... I'm getting married today to my amazing man of three years to be exact :)) Our Estimated Due Date is February 2nd, 2016.

    I believe that God works in mysterious ways to jump start a life full of work and bills. We found out we were pregnant two weeks ago (at 14 weeks). I have been dealing with pretty severe poly cystic ovarian syndrome my whole adult life. Every doctor I saw told me it would be nearly impossible for me to get pregnant. So it wasn't a surprise to me that my period stopped suddenly in February 2015. After being tested for everything but pregnancy, the doctor decided it was time to test for ovarian cancer given the symptoms and my family history that my Nana on my mom's side has been battling for 9 years. It had been a long time since I had asked God for anything until the day I asked for a baby instead of cancer. The next day, the doctor told us we were having a baby which makes this moment of having our first child together even sweeter!

    Picture of our first ultrasound to find it's a boy!
  • Hi all, my name is Liz, and I've officially joined the Feb 2016 side. I was right on the line before with a March 1st due date, but now have due date of Feb. 28th. I am 24 years old and this will be our first. My husband and I have been married for a little over a year, but have been together since high school. He is training to be an Air force pilot so I'm not even sure if where I will be to deliver.

    I am looking forward to all the support and growth over the next 27 weeks!

    Hey- finally jumping in as it seems pretty real this time :) I live in SF with my husband and 4 year old daughter. Finally got a sticky baby after a failed attempt last time. Pregnancy this time around is going the same as last- healthy baby but with tons of nausea. The price I pay, I guess. Looking forward to going through this with you all!
  • Hi All! I've been a lurker for about 8 weeks now and this is all finally starting to feel real! My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years - together for 9. We live in the DC metro area and are expecting our first baby around Valentine's Day! I've had pretty rough MS and back pain has already started - hopefully just growing pains! Right now, I'm team green but I'm sure when the AS comes around that'll change! 
  • Hello everyone :) I'll go by my username to maintain a little anonymity. I'm 30 years old, married for 4 years, and on my second pregnancy. First ended earlier this year in a blighted ovum, but fortunately able to conceive this one quickly after. We live in a suburb of LA as DH works downtown and finishing up law school. A born and raised So-Cal girl, but DYING to get out ASAP. I need weather, nature, peace/privacy, and a more family friendly environment/culture. Hoping to relocate to Oregon or Colorado within the next 5 years :) I'm an oncology RN, but will be fulfilling our dream of me being a SAHM now that I'm pregnant with a viable baby. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and on a supplement, but otherwise a non-complicated pregnancy. Got to see our LO doing flips and "dancing" last week. It was the most incredible thing I've seen in my life, and I'm so blessed to be finally fulfilling our dream of starting a family. I am due 2/25/16. 
  • @KittyCat84 Congrats, what a comeback! Being from Colorado (Boulder), I wholly encourage living there. It's beautiful and the people are great. The weather is year round and actually not as overwhelming with snow as many people think. Colorado is one the sunniest states :)

    @wineaddict (love the name, I am a wine addict myself. That's been hands down the hardest part of this pregnancy. Haha). Boulder looks beautiful, I would LOVE to visit someday! On our first date, DH said he would like to relocate to CO someday, as he wanted to live somewhere with weather and had been there on vacation. Being a Cali snob at the time, I thought the idea was absurd...where else was better than So-Cal? I couldn't have been more wrong. Part of our honeymoon was spent in Vail, and I too fell in love with the area. We were able to explore Denver area as well, and it became a real possibility for our future. DH's company has an office in Denver with the type of law he practices, so we will definitely be considering that as well as the Portland area. Thanks for the Colorado encouragement! 
  • Hello all!

    I'm a little late to the party, but wanted to be sure this baby was going to stick with us before I joined anything like this.

    I'm 33 and pregnant with our second little squishy. My daughter is 3 and my husband and I will be married for 10 years this November.

    We are IVF program graduates and lost the last three of our pregnancies. This was our last attempt for another baby and we are over the moon excited!

    I'm an avid runner and plan on keeping up my miles just as I did throughout my first pregnancy.

    Cheers!

  • Hi everyone! I'm Stephanie, and I'm 31. I live in the DC area. This is my first pregnancy and I'm due 2/22/16! I work as a PT. My husband is 33 and we've been married about 2 years. He works as a digital media software consultant.
  • Hello everyone! I'm Sarah. I'm 26 and this is my first pregnancy; it was a big surprise but I am super excited and already so in love with the little life I am carrying. I have been with my SO for almost 4 years (in Oct) and he was trying to figure out how to propose when I told him I was pregnant. So now I am going to be a mommy and a wife and I am on cloud 9. We live in the Tampa Bay area. Our baby is due February 11, 2016.

    I am loving ticking the weeks off and I worry about baby incessantly. I am most certainly baby crazy at this point in the game. Everyone tells me that joining a mommy group will help calm my fears and give me a place to find answers; so I am excited to join and look forward to participating in this community.

    Heyy everyone! I thought it might be time to introduce myself.
    I'm 23 and my husband is 25. Our 2nd anniversary will be in Sept. We just moved to Denver, Colorado to save up extra moneys and start our family (we moved here from Hawaii, so even Denver seems cheap to us).
    We found out about our little sprout at around 6 weeks. By 8 weeks we had our first little glimpse of it and ever since I've been nothing but obsessed. I've been on this site every couple days or so reading and absorbing every little bit of info I can. I love how open everyone is and how much knowledge I've come to gather just by reading other people's experiences.
    This will be our first child and I want to be as educated and prepared as possible. I can't wait to walk alongside you ladies in this awesome time. And thanks for letting me share.
    Pic is our little sprout at 8 weeks. Due Feb. 11, 2016
  • Hi all. I'm Kait and I'm new to this and still trying to figure out the abbreviations you all are pros at! I am 14 weeks with my first (28 years old) and my boyfriend and I are JACKED about it (while I am vocally slightly terrified, he plays it cool). Still trying to maneuver my way around docs appointments, ultrasounds, and announcements.

    I live in Canada (am I the lone Canadian?) and am loving reading all of your guys info.
  • Hang in there @Elizabethjoy912 I bet you're doing great!
  • Hi everyone! My name is Courtney. My husband and I are both 31, live on Long Island and this October we will be celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary. This is our first pregnancy. My EDD is February 6th. We are very excited, nervous and over joyed with the thought of our new future as a family of 3 very soon. My DH is currently working towards a supervisor position at his job and I just hit my 10 year anniversary at my job working as a medical assistant. We are hoping to move out of our apt and into a house soon. Having so many good positive things in our lives makes life a little surreal at times. I'm looking forward to talking to you ladies, learning from all of you and hopefully I can help you guys out too.
  • Hi everybody! My name is Megan and my husband(Vincent) and I are both in the navy. (I know I'll get yelled at for this but I actually tried to start a military board for the other moms on here having to deal with that BS they can throw us too! So feel free to join that, even spouses can join!) anyways we are due Feb 11, and our orders are up in March.. Which means we move over seas with a new born, fun stuff! We are currently stationed at Walter Reed in Maryland but both are from California, he's an ICU nurse and I'm an IT. This is our first and very unplanned child. Sadly my pregnancy is now medicated because I have severe perinatal depression and I also recently had my appendix removed which made it worse! Stupid body!
    We have 3 loving fur babies, 2 cats - Aragorn and Arwen, and one dog named Misschieff (I got her as a kid don't judge the name)
    I'm going to school full time online and get my degree in 2017. I'm also walking dogs as well to curb my adopting addiction (I seriously love animals too much) and it's great exercise for my pregnancy!
  • Hi Everyone!! 

    My name is Nikita, I'm 28 and expecting my first child. My husband and I are full-time RVers, meaning we live in a fifth wheel. He is a civil engineer and currently works on wind farm projects. We move from project to project which happens about every 6-9 months, so buying a fifth wheel was a must because we were both sick of hotel and apartment hopping. It really has made a huge difference in our lives and we are so happy. 

    This baby is a total surprise and we hadn't even planned on trying for another couple of years so we didn't buy something that had a separate room for him/her. But I think with some creativity we can make the small space work. We are so excited and can't wait to welcome our little boy or girl next year!!
  • Greetings from the windy city ! I'm Kathy 33 yr old ( Dh is 40 )we have a 11 yr old girl and a 15 yr old boy from our previous marriages and this will be our first after 8 yrs together. I'm currently 17 wk and coming from the January board after ultrasound revealed new due date. (Feb 6 th )So I have been lurking for a while and ready to jump in on discussions !
  • How does everyone feel about this getting unpinned?

    There's just so much stuff and most people have already done intros and been around a while? Especially since almost everyone is in second tri now?
  • ^ Yep. I wouldn't mind seeing the u/s post unpinned too. Maybe it could be replaced with a second tri u/s post? They are just getting too long.
