@zombiehoohaa I'm glad you're here and out of TB purgatory! And awesome name! I'm sorry for your losses, your baby and your dad. Losing a parent is the hardest.
Hi everyone! I'm Ali (@sopranoali also a soprano). 32, STM, DD is 2 1/2 and I was on the May15 BMB. I'm an elementary music teacher and DH is a mechanic.
Can't believe I really got my bfp today at 11dpo!! That puts my EDD on my birthday, July 30
@christycalifornia me, too! Goodness! It's torture, that 72 hour hold. Thank you...definitely missing my dad, especially right now. He would have actually been the first one I told, even before dh.
@zombiehoohaa Ive never lost a parent to death personally, bit we lost my MIL three weeks before my daughter was born. It was her first grandchild. I watched my husband's grief and helped him through that, and in a lot of ways he's still going through it. Time makes it hurt less, but it never really stops hurting. I hope you have good support around you while you're processing two life-altering changes in a row. All that to say, lots of hugs to you.
Hiiii @zombiehoohaa and welcome from a fellow Californian! I grew up in OC and currently live in Corona but work in Santa Ana!
I am so sorry for your loses but i wholeheartedly agree you have an angel watching over this pregnancy. My grandmother passed away (obviously not the same as a parent) and I tell myself that my MC babe went to be with her so she could have a great grandbaby in heaven.
Hi I'm Kat! I live in LA with my hubby of almost 5 years. First time mom, if everything goes well! I've had 2 CP and 1 natural MC last year, took us another year to finally conceive again. EDD is 7/7 according to LMP. During my ultrasound last week we saw little flickering heartbeat, which was the best thing I've ever seen! Looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you!
@zombiehoohaa welcome! I’m new here too (just got my BFP this week) but I can definitely relate to what you’re going through. TW - I had a miscarriage at the end of July, and though it’s not recent, I lost my dad to cancer when I was only 19. Losing a parent has to be one of the hardest thing to deal with at any age, so I’m here if you want to talk at all.
@christycalifornia I'm sorry for your loss; even losing in laws are hard. I'm very fortunate to have 2 of my 3 siblings here to lean on through this. We are a close group, so I shared the news of this pregnancy with them and we all cried happy tears.
@amylu914 Hi neighbor!! Thank you for the kind words. Losing a grandparent is just as hard, especially when close. Then to have a mc...ugh...im so sorry. We definitely have angels looking over us.
@pumpkinpancake Love your name! Welcome, as well! Oh man! I couldn't imagine losing my dad at that age (or any age). F#ck cancer!! I'm sorry for your loss in July. It's not easy at all. I was just telling my brother how hard it is not to pick up the phone to call our dad.

Well dang. If your name is Ali and you’re a soprano I feel like I stole your handle lol
*****FREEEEEDDDDDOOOM!!!!***** I've been impatiently waiting for 3 days to post.
Hi! I'm Jennifer, I'm 33. I'm a QA Analyst, born and raised in Santa Ana, CA. Married for 1.5 years. My edd is 7/22. I a FTM*. My DH has 22yo daughter from a previous relationship (he's 11 years older than me). I am a proud furmama to a 3 yo Australian Shepherd/Pomeranian mix named Pari. She is my pride and joy.
*This has been a very trying year for us. I had a miscarriage in July after returning from TN to transition my dad into a nursing home. My dad passed away Oct. 3rd. I got my BFP this past weekend, which was his celebration of life. Im worried beyond belief because I don't want to go through another miscarriage. At the same time, I believe my dad is watching over this pregnancy. I'm excited and nervous for the Next 9 months. Glad I have you ladies!!
My dad passed away suddenly in 2014. I miss him every day! So sorry for your loss.
Hey everyone. My name is Amber. My s/o and I live in Vegas and have one little girl who will be 5 next month. I got my BFP last night and my EDD is July 12

Hi all! My name is Andrea. I have been married to my hubby for almost three years and we have an amazing daughter who will turn 2 on Christmas (shout out to the other D15 moms!!). Looks like my EDD is July 29th which also happens to be FILs bday. My bday is July 15th so it will be awesome if me and the new little nugget have the same birth month. I’m still really active with a group of moms that I met on The Bump the last time and hope to make some new mommy friends this time. Happy and healthy pregnancies to all!
Hi ladies. I’m reluctant to join. I’m Jenn. I was on Aug15 with my DS. TW I’ve had two losses since my son and Just got a BFP Friday. It was confirmed by betas. Just a little nervous. DH and I are both excited but also worried. Hopefully this is an uneventful as my first!
Hi there, my name is Sally. I live in rural Idaho. Working as a substitute teacher while I am back in school to earn my elementary teaching certification. I am 31, DH is 35. This is our first child. We’ve been married 3.5 years and used to live in western WA. We have terrible internet here, so I will be as active as that allows. I could use some support, as we moved out here three years ago and I have only made a few friends. According to online calculators out EDD is between 7/14 and 8/1. I had an appointment for a physical this Wednesday already made, so I assume our doc will fully us in then. I will be working with a midwife if all goes as planned, but I respect all of the choices and options available. Excited to keet you all and learn a lot here! Today was my first morning sickness. I can relate to the discussion on losing family menebers. DH and I moved here to care for husband grandpa, who has since passsed. Congrats to all of you!
Also, sorry for the typos (and according to my shady internet), this is appearing as a response to another commenter. I will try to keep this wonky internet from messing up all your threads!

I'm new here but have been on other birth board apps before, just got my BFP this morning and I'm still totally in shock! EDD July 30.

And we have a wacky dog and live with MIL. Which is why I'm still a little nervous about this!! I'm currently a SAHM with our little guy But used to be an apprentice optician until last year after a very challenging turn of events. So, hi! That's enough about me!
