Introduce Yourself Here!!

srscott3

Welcome to the June 2019 BMB! Introduce yourself, your EDD, SO, kids, pets, or anything you want us to know!

srscott3

Hi Mamas! I am a STM with an EDD of either 6/5 (based on LMP) or 6/7 (based on O). First ultrasound is scheduled for 10/23. 

DH (30) and I (27) have been married for 5 years, together for 9, and we have one DD who will be 2 in February. I loved my F17 BMB and I am a member of our current FB group (but I’m awful at keeping up with the FB format so I never post). 

I am a lawyer licensed to practice in Texas, but we recently moved to Illinois, so I am currently a SAHM DH is a doctor and doing his residency here in Chicago (reason we moved). 

Happy to be here!

Hi! So glad this board is finally open, I won’t even admit how many times a day I have checked for it  

EDD is 6/5 based on O date. This is my 3rd pregnancy but will be our 2nd child - if everything goes well *TW* I had an ectopic pregnancy in Feb 2018 that resulted in me losing my right tube *end TW* - so to say I’m excited to be here is an understatement, but I’m also still extremely nervous. Our DD is 2 1/2 and I only lurked my BMB then. I have been active on the TTGP board since last August and plan to be active here as well. I have another beta draw tomorrow and then will hopefully be able to schedule my first US next week to confirm everything is in the right place. 

DH and I live in the Midwest and we enjoy being outdoors (camping, canoeing, bicycling) and also are very big craft beer fans, which I already miss 😁 I also love taking on too many craft projects at once!

I’m so excited to be here, I’ve “met” a lot of great ladies on the TTGP board and I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone here!

Hello all!

I’m very anxiously joining here. My due date is June 9th.

I’m a third time mom from Utah. I have two Australian Shepherds and eight chickens.

TW loss:

This year I have had two chemical pregnancies and one MMC at ~7 weeks. I’ve tried to be cautious with my heart in all of this, but I’m pretty sure I have failed. I’m all in.

I’m really hoping I get to stay in June and get to know all of you!

@eleven_ ELEVEN!!!!!!!!  

Hoping so hard for you friend that this is your rainbow.

@eleven_ Yay! Every thing crossed for you and the happiest and healthiest 9 months. I have been wondering how you've been and am so happy to see this post! 

TJtheGoat

@nmbrcrnchr1 @eleven_ its so good to see some familiar names. I stopped posting on TTGP because it was causing stress between BF and I, but I’ve been thinking about all the TTGP ladies. 

This will be my first baby *TW loss*

second pregnancy as I had a chemical in April 18

EDD is June 4. I’m feeling pretty good so far. Beta at 15DPO was 331, so right where it should be. Dating ultrasound is scheduled for 18 October, which seems so far away, but also right around the corner. 

My BF and are knee deep in a pretty large scale renovation on what we hope is our forever home. We have a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Pomeranian. I can’t wait to get to know you all better!

luckystar28

5 weeks pregnant with number 2! Due June 3rd. I was very active when ttc my son and am still close to his bmb so hoping to find a fun new group again

Thank you so much @suzycupcake and @kgg2241

So happy to be sharing a BMB with you @nmbrcrnchr1 and @TJtheGoat !!

All the cool kids from TTGP are in the June board! So happy for you ladies and ugh, man wish I was joining you. Sending you all the best and a smooth 9 months! 

jhems776

Super excited for the board to open!

I am pregnant with my second, my little guy just turned two! I am in my mid 30s and have been married 10 years. I was very active for the better part of 2015 in ttgp for my first and still chat with my Sept 16 daily. My edd is June 5th based off ovulation and 7th based off lmp. I found out 9 dpo with the squintiest of squinters on a cheap and then a faint frer. 

carleym93

Hi ladies! 

I’m 4w3d with what will *hopefully* be my second. DD is 3. I’m a teacher and H is a film editor. I was really active on the August 15 BMB with DD and I still talk to those ladies daily. EDD this time is 6/7 (which is super rad for me as a teacher). I had 2 beta draws last week and have an ultrasound scheduled for 10/17. I feel so different this time than I did with DD. I “felt” pregnant with her and this time I feel absolutely nothing other than I’m exhausted and I have mildly sore boobs. Cautiously optimistic and wishing you all a healthy and happy 9 months!

Aw @meatballs37 I wish you were here with us! I loved your remembrance post in TTGP so much  I will be holding out so much hope that you are next!

@eleven_ so excited for you! I hope this is a happy and healthy nine months!

Hi! I’m 4w5d with a due date of June 5. I have a DS who is 1.5. In fact, @srscott3 I was on the F17 board as well. I didn’t move to the Facebook group, though. My DS was born a week early at the end of January.  I changed my username because I use the previous one, purplewriter, on other websites.

I have two cats. They are adorable. I’m a STAHM right now, but once my kids (ah plural!) are in school, I’ll go back to being an ESL and English tutor.

srscott3

@catmommac I remember you! Glad to share a BMB with you again! Congrats!

Hi Everyone. I literally just found out I’m pregnant. As in 45 minutes ago! I leaned into my husband and my boobs hurt. Took a test and low and behold here I am!

I’m only 10 dpo so my EDD is June 15th. We have a 2 year old daughter and live in the New England area. I was extremely active in my BMB last time. I’ve met close to 10 them and we chat daily on FB.  

I travel quite a bit for work so hopefully this pregnancy is similar to the one with my daughter.

TW- I had a MC last October quite early. We took the last year off to regroup and had a lot of changes at home to deal with-TW. 

Excited to meet everyone!!!

Super excited to be here with you, @nmbrcrnchr1! 

I'm cautiously posting here after having a weird OPK cycle and being shocked by getting a BFP 4 days after I expected AF (and testing BFN the previous 3 days AF was late). My EDD based on LMP is June 7. DH and I are in our mid-thirties and have a beagle/terrier rescue who is nicknamed the "space pirate" and she is currently the love of our lives. We jokingly talk about future LO alternately as "her puppy" and "her less-important sister."

I've been active on the TTGP board for a few months and have been so amazed by the phenomenal women of that community, so I'm excited to participate here, since I won't have the IRL support other than DH for a while.

*TW* I'm incredibly nervous because my family doesn't have a great history of healthy pregnancies, and I know the risks go up as you get older. We aren't telling anyone until after we can get the genetic screening done to check for viability, which means we might have to wait for week 20 to get the right test done if I am a carrier, and I'm struggling with trying to moderate my excitement until we know, in case we have a MMC. My insurance wouldn't cover genetic testing to see if I am a carrier until after getting KU. I'm hopeful I can get it done two weeks from now when I see my OB and that I'm not a carrier so we can start sharing and getting more excited *End TW*

Hi (again) everyone!

EDD: June 3

DH has his own business which is great in terms of flexibility, especially since I travel a lot for work.

We have one 3.25 y.o. who will turn 4 in mid May.

I'm turning 40 in two days and had a bit of spotting a week ago for a day so I am trying not to get too excited this time around, which is hard. My first appointment is Oct 19 and I will probably do a CVS at 10 weeks if I make it that far.

Looking forward to hanging with you all!

Hi! This will be my 5th baby. My EDD is June 3rd. I have been married since 2011. We met in college. He was getting his MDPhD and I was working on my Masters in Molecular biology.

My husband adopted my first son(16) and then we have gone on to have 3 more children (G4, B2, G1). I SAH with all of them. 

I'm so excited for this pregnancy. It may be my last so I'm planning to enjoy every second of it. I love being pregnant if you can't tell. I would love to have a few more babies but my husband is pumping the brakes. He said we would talk about 1 more after this one is born. 

I look forward to getting to know everyone. Hopefully we all have a boring 9 months.

Hi Everyone! I am 32 and this will be my 3rd baby. I live in the Hudson Valley NY area with my DH of 10 years, DD1 who is 6 and DD2 who is 20 months. We have 1 dog, 1 cat and 5 chickens. 

I have PCOS and It took 2 years to conceive DD1. While trying for DD2 we tried for about 4 years. I actually had an early loss the January before  and then several large cyst and decided I had enough and we moved towards adoption. Low and behold I became pregnant while in the classes. 

This pregnancy was a shock (as in we threw caution into the wind and were seeing  “what would happen” thinking another baby would be years away.)  and I’m caustically optimistic for a borning H&H 9 months. ETA is June 9th. 

I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone. ❤️

Hi all! FTM here - I'm 31 and my DH is 33. I'm about 5 weeks along and my expected due date is either June 2 or June 4. I have my first appointment this week so we'll see what my doctor says. 

I have an adorable kitty cat, enjoy cooking, eating, and craft beers so the next 9 months will be a test of will power. I'm excited and nervous to be here.

I'm pretty sure you have to log out and then log back in for it to show your new SN.

Hi all! I'm a STM with an EDD of 6/6.  DH and I have been married for almost 4.5 years. We have a son who will be 2 in February.  We also have a spoiled golden retriever who is 3.   I lurked my last BMB - I had just found thebump and was new to everything.  Looking forward to participating this time and getting to know everyone.  And I miss drinking 5 cups of coffee a day.

Hi! I'm a Californian living in New York with my husband, 2.5ish Gemini DD, and lovable but grouchy cat. EDD is June 8th by LMP but I suspect its earlier. I work full time in the arts and my husband works in tech. We love the outdoors, food, and traveling to see our families on opposite coasts.

I did a lot of lurking in the May 2016 BMB and was sad I never posted -- it was such an amazing resource and community. I'm taking this pregnancy one day at a time because of it just so early, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Happy to be here!

ravenclaw415

Hi all!

This is my first pregnancy with an estimated due date of June 2nd (according to O date and Fertility Friend). I am 26 years old and a high school teacher (lthis is the perfect teacher due date!) and my DH is 30 years old and is a wastewater plant operator. We have one dog (Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix).

I am so excited but nervous (is something really growing inside of me!?!?!). My first appointment isn't until Nov. 1st and it is going to be so hard waiting! I was not part of the TTGP board, but am excited for this BMB and to have some ladies to support me and to give support to throughout this pregnancy journey. 

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and am hoping for peace, calm, and serenity throughout the next 8 months (for all of us!). 

mrsjqg1024

Hi all! This is my second pregnancy! Still waiting to get really excited until I get my beta results back tomorrow. EDD is 6/9. DH and I are both 32 and proud parents to DS who is 13 months! We live in Maryland and we are both meteorologists. 

I was super active on the August '17 BMB and hoping to be here too! Great to meet everyone! 

galactickates

I'm barging in to say Congrats @eleven_

You've been on a road filled with so much sadness and heart ache and I couldn't be more happy for you.  You deserve a boring and healthy 9 months.  This goes for you too @nmbrcrnchr1! Love you both and also jealous you get to be on the same bmb together!

Erin1510

Hey everyone! I'm about 5 weeks along with baby #2, due date estimated around 6/02. I won't see my midwife until I reach 10 weeks. First appointment is on 10/30. I have a 4 year old son. I'm 32 and my husband is 33. He's a sheriff's deputy and I'm an elementary Special Education Teacher. I look forward to getting to know you all better!
