Liss_37

hey there,

seems like this board is pretty dead. I thought maybe we could do a GTKY since it looks like there might be some new people joining.. hopefully we can liven it up a bit!

here are some basic questions we could answer

Your age:

where are you from?

do you have any other children?

is there a reason behind your username?

have you done anything fun this summer or have plans to?

Liss how are you feeling? Do you have a lot of symptoms?  This is my first and my symptoms have been mild.  I've been reading about others who have really had it rough.

Lu19

Hi ladies

So excited to join the board! Just found out less than a week ago, so guessing I'm close to 5 weeks. I have few symptoms, which is making me really nervous (TW: also have history of loss), but also know it's still pretty early. 

I'm 37 (38 in a couple months), I have a toddler DS, and DH is 43. 

Before this I was on TTC after 35 and those women are so welcoming, supportive and awesome.. can't tell you how appreciative I am of that board, esp on those days I felt so defeated.   

Hey @artemis618! So excited to see you over here - official CONGRATS!!! to you

Congrats also @liss_37!  How exciting to find out you have twins!!

Liss_37

Yah!! good to see you moving over @Lu19! congrats on your BFP!!

I had very few symptoms until weeks 6-7 so try not to worry too much!

Hi all!  Congrats to everyone expecting their bundle!  I'm 37, soon to be 38 later this month.  I live in Miami and I have 2 boys (10 and 20mos). I'm currently 10 wks and this will be my last pregnancy to complete our family of 5 that I always dreamed of.  I hope everyone has a happy healthy and nausea free pregnancy!
