Hi all, My name's Shell - I'm a STM and currently 5w4d. My son is 4, and fun fact I found out I was pregnant with this one 5 years to the day of my son! I found out really early with this one, because my husband and I were trying so I'm hoping their birthdays will fall about a week apart. My first appointment is in 3wks, but I think my EDD is 9/29. We live outside of Chicago and I'm a Nuclear Medicine student graduating in May so this is a really exciting time. I'm so excited to be here with all of you!
Hello everyone! FTM, new to the Bump and new to all the abbreviations and lingo! DH and I are so happy, but I think the grandparents are even happier! Got a very early BFP on our 11 month anniversary! 17/12. Predicted due date so far is 3rd of September! So excited to be here.
Hi everybody! My name’s Liz, I’m from VA (NoVA) and I’m expecting baby number three. I became a SAHM two years ago to take care of my girls who both have some developmental delays. Now that they are getting back on track we decided we could complete our family with one more. I’m really excited to be able to experience all the little baby milestones this time around now that I’m no longer working full time. I’m 6 weeks along today and am so thankful that I am able to actually squeeze in naps and taking it easy this pregnancy. Quite frankly, I don’t know how I managed keeping it all together last time!
@shellso923 I'm in the general Chicago region too, way Northwest on McHenry County!

@jjess1201 hi! i think i was too scared to join the FB group at the beginning and then i think i was too late for it, haha! i miss a lot of the people i talked with! congrats on the new pregnancy!
Hi all, I'm Danielle. Originally, Canadian, but now living in MA. STM, have a 2.5 year old boy. Feel more excited about this pregnancy, maybe bc I know what's up. Was trying, but happened fast. My calculations point me to 9/17. 1st visit not for 2 weeks, but trying to get it moved up. Freaking out that might be twins...

Hello all! My name is Becky and I'm hopefully going to be a first time mom. I've had 2 miscarriages so I'm super guarded about being excited. I'm about to be 36 and an xray tech. My boyfriend is so excited to be a dad and is super protective over me but I love him for it! Anyways, excited for the road ahead!

Hi everyone! I'm a FTM, EDD 09/09. Live in Montreal, been with the hubby for almost 8 years. Currently doing a master's degree while working as a nurse at a local Children's hospital. I have 4 monsters I posted about in the pets thread, all adopted and dearly loved, although all the cats are now sick with a virus and the wallet is hurting. First ultrasound is on the 13th so I'm pretty excited! Nice to read all your blurbs and get to know you from the other side of the screen
My name is Jennifer and I'm from AZ. My wife is 9 weeks and 4 days along with our first baby. We are both very excited.I work at a psych hospital and my wife is going to be a stay at home mom. Our baby is due Sept. 5th which is the day before our nine year wedding anniversary.
Hey everyone! I've been hesitant to post anything until today. Have had a previous m/c and didn't want to get too excited until I knew this was a for real thing. But 9w+ 6d along, and the pumpkin is wiggling in there! So great to get to know everyone, and look forward to this exciting/terrifying journey to September. oh, and I am a FTM living in the wonderful state of Texas!
Hi everyone! I’m Nicole from northern Indiana. Currently pregnant with my third baby, due 9/23. My husband & I have been married for 7 years and we have two DSs, 5 & 2. Their birthdays are exactly a week apart, this baby will just be a couple months after their birthdays! I’ve had two c-sections so I’m hoping this baby’s birthday will be around 9/10.
@sclarke7 I am a runner! I have a race scheduled for April... Not sure what to do about that. I should be in my second trimester by then, so hopefully feeding more energetic, but training has been really hard lately since I've been nauseous and so tired during my runs. Have you been running during your pregnancy?
Hello from Motor City! My husband and I got married in October. I work in design at Ford and my husband is an engineer at Ford, but we love Jeeps and off-roading. We are 8 weeks along and super excited, first time parents. Our due date is middle of September. I haven’t had many symptoms at all and I have had some bleeding and spotting but we had an ultrasound yesterday and got to see and listen to our baby’s heartbeat! Everything looks really good so we are praying that it stays that way. Looking forward to experiencing all of this with all of you!
Hi everyone. My name is Amanda. I live in New Jersey. Our due date is 9/2. I'm 10 weeks along now. This is my first pregnancy. I've been married for just over a year and this is an IUD pregnancy. We were shocked but now we're so excited and we're just hoping the baby stays healthy.
Hi Ladies, I am shocked that I am joining you all here. I was active on the pregnant after IF board during my first pregnancy. My son was an IVF baby and he will be a year old on 2-12. We were told we would never conceive naturally... well...here I am at 7 weeks, 2 days(EDD- September 23) with the most amazing surprise and blessing! Anyone else going to have 2 u 2? My babies will be 19 months apart. I am from Seattle and currently am a part-time work at home Mom but I will be a stay at home Mom likely sometime this summer. So excited to get to know you all and wish you all healthy and easy pregnancies!

@runninginva Yes I have. Took the mileage down a bit and intensity just to be safe. I have been going with perceived exertion rather than HR as my HR is all over the map. If I can sing/carry on a convo I'm good. Right now i'm 40-50 miles a week. Normally i'm an 8:15-30 mile but i've been avging at 9:15-9:30 and 1 day complete rest per week. I find if I feel kind of crappy I feel better when I run. Definitely have some off days where legs feel like cement and really tired, I don't push through I shorten the run. I was thinking about a May half except last few years there has been a heat warning for the one I like... so prob not. I've done a few marathons as well but not going there during pregnancy. Half is my happy place. What distance is the April race? I say train for it but listen to your body. I bought " The Pregnant Athlete " on amazon and have found it really good so far. Its recently written by a triathlete. Lots of good info.

Hello, I'm Dana, STM, our daughter is 2.5. EDD is 9/3. We live in the Detroit area, and I am an online teacher. I'm excited to get to know more of you on this board!
Hi everyone! I am a first time mom from iowa. We are so excited as we have been trying for awhile. My due date is september 9th and it seems so far away! Haha. We are new to everything and have so much to learn but we are loving this journey far!.
@Patience7150 *jeep wave* back at you I drive a JKU too and my husband has a YJ. I love your pic. Where are you from? Is there a lot of good wheeling near you?!
@dana9318 hi Dana! How do you like the online teaching? What site do you teach through? I plan on leaving work and staying home and have started to look into options for working from home.
@michjeepwife I'm from Minnesota, not a ton of wheeling here. We generally take one trip out west a year though ranging from a 3 day rental to a 21 day road trip. We've been jeeping or rzring in South Dakota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and California (Death Valley). We're doing another road trip this April/May (destination TBD), and then going to try to hit the UP quick in July before babe arrives! It's nice to have another jeeper here!
@Patience7150 awesomeee! You guys sound like a lot of fun. That’s what we did for our honeymoon this past November. We built a camper van from a 1985 Econoline and headed out west. The Hells Revenge trail in Moab was one of our stops. Being our first time out there and coming from the off-roading in MI, it was pretty crazy to us. We are now making van plans for 3 so we can do it again. It is really nice to have another jeeper!
