Welcome to the November 2021 BMB!

Say a little bit about yourself here:

Where are you from?

Due date?

First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages?

Anything else you feel like contributing!

sliztee

Congrats, everyone!

My name is Sarah and I’m from Minneapolis!
I’m presently a SAHM, eagerly waiting to return to the workforce once COVID-19 is sorted out. I have one kiddo, Arlo, who is nearly 2.5. My husband is a professor and greatest human alive. 

My due date is 11/01/2021, which is precisely one month later than my son was due. He ended up being a September baby, so we’ll see what happens with this one!
I LOVE my first BMB and we’re all super tight, though on another platform now. I hope this BMB becomes just as special!❤️

Same due date! 👯‍♀️

Hi everyone! TW: loss below 

I’m in NYC, first baby, age 40, due 11/1! Never wanted kids but a lot has changed for me in the last 6 years. Originally from Ohio. 

I had a m/c at 5.5-6 weeks in Aug and a chemical (🤬) last month. Was just starting tests with a fertility doctor when I tested positive last week. They’re monitoring my blood work so far (waiting on this morning’s results right now), which makes me feel at ease.

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 For you! @yochi1550

Thank you!!

Where are you from? 
New York City, though we've been bouncing around since May. Hoping to buy a house this summer and settle down. 

Due date?
November 3, but I'll have a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks so this will be an October baby

First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are their ages?
Third pregnancy. 4yo son and 2yo daughter. 

Anything else you feel like contributing!
I'm excited that this month finally has a board! I tested crazy early this time so I've been lurking on October waiting for my real group to start up. 

Best wishes to everyone! 

sliztee

I was lurking October waiting for ours to open too 😂 @maebyemby

tmk2021

@sliztee nope, my husband and I moved to the PNW a few years ago 😊

sliztee

Hello November mommies!!

Where are you from? Oklahoma City

Due date? November 4, 2021 -- my birthday is November 2 so I may end up with a birthday baby!

First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages? First!! We have been trying for 5 years and just did our first FET this month and so far it is sticking!!

So excited to spend the next months adventuring with you all  

jackie_dunny

Where are you from? I’m originally from Bergen County, NJ but I now live in the UK (DH is British 🇬🇧)

Due date? Nov 8 according to LMP but Nov 9 according to ovulation. Doesn’t make a drastic difference anyway lol but my 30th birthday is Nov 7 so we’ll see how that goes 😂

First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages? Yes! FTM!

Just a little more about me: I have one fur baby who we will definitely be referring to as big brother lol I started a new job a few weeks ago as a Histopathology Medical Laboratory Assistant. So basically I look at organs and tissues all day and I help scientists with inputting data and preparing specimens. Im nervous to tell them about maternity leave because I’m so new but well cross that bridge when we come to it 😬 

 
I really can’t believe I’m here. I haven’t even told DH yet because he’s at work lol one of my best friends is a midwifes assistant so I sent her a picture of the test this morning saying “tell me you see this too” and she called me freaking out and told me the next steps we would take. She would find out before anyone else anyway because she’s the one that goes to all the appointments and stuff so it’s nice to have a midwife on call for any questions 😂

emarie123

Congrats! My due date is nov 8th as well! Have you been feeling well? What symptoms have you been having if you don’t mind me asking? 

jackie_dunny

@emarie123 thanks! Congrats to you as well! Yeah I’ve been feeling fine overall. Mostly just reallyyyy tired, slight nausea, and really constipated lol oh and I think a stronger sense of smell. But to be honest, I’m only 3 weeks+3 so I wonder how much of it is genuine and how much of it is in my head. How about you? 

yochi1550

@sliztee So far so good! HcG rose from 120 to 307 in a matter of two days. I’ve just started on a progesterone supplement (vaginal suppositories—who knew??). Ultrasound Tues to make sure it’s where it’s supposed to be in the uterus. 

lauren_williams

Hi all! I’m Lauren from the burbs of Chicago. If all goes well, I will be a first time mom. We experienced a loss in June of 2020, so trying to remain hopeful. I go 3/1 for my blood work and 3/11 for the US. Currently due on 11/1. 

rmcollins530

Hi everyone!

I’m Riley and from Evansville, IN. I’m due 11/6!

I have a 4.5 year old name Avery and have been married for 8 years to my high school sweetheart.

A little about myself: I love to craft, taught myself how to sew, and love running/cycling.

KNB1027

@lauren_williams and @rmsmith2 Welcome! I'm excited we are all getting to share this journey together  

gograce

Hi friends! 

I’m Grace. I’m from the New Orleans area. DH and I are college sweethearts and are both English teachers. We’ve been together 8.5 years, married 6. I’m due November 2 according to my ovulation date. This is my fifth pregnancy. We’ve got a 5 year old son, a 3 year old daughter, and two angels. My blood work is for 3/1 and my first scan is 3/17. 

ETA: I was fairly active on my son’s BMB, but towards the end of my pregnancy, the app gave me problems. I found it difficult to participate in my daughter’s BMB because of that. Hopefully I’ll be able to pop in often here. ☺️

sliztee

@gograce Unfortunately, the app still appears to suck. I have MUCH better luck on my computer. Welcome to the November 2021 club and congrats!

sliztee

@lauren_williams Congrats! Fingers crossed for your rainbow baby

 Hi Everyone! 
I'm Jen and currently we have 2 boys (7 and almost 4) and over the weekend just found out that we are expecting #3.  I'm 39 and this is a bit of a surprise for us but we are very excited!  It looks like my due date will be 11/6, but I won't have my first doctor's appointment until later this month.

sliztee

@jena3207 Congrats on the surprise baby and welcome!

TW: loss mentioned 

Hi, ladies!

My name is Jessica, I'm from Missouri, and I'm a freelance artist. I stay at home with our 4 yr old son. 

My due date is currently Nov 8th.  We have been struggling with secondary infertility,  and this was our first cycle trying again after 2 chemicals and a 9wk miscarriage.   I'm excited, and trying to stay positive, but also trying not to get my hopes up just yet. 

Going to call the doc tomorrow to get the ball rolling on that.  

myspecialkid

Hi everyone, 

I'm D and I'm 5 weeks.  EDD 11/2.  I'm 40 and I live in Birmingham, AL, but I’m from Pittsburgh. We have a 5 year old diva. 

I’ve taking 3 pregnancy test since Saturday because the first two has the faint 2nd line. Today’s test was just pregnant, lol (switched to clear blue easy). 

I’m also a cloth diapering mama. We still have our diapers from our daughter. So if you’re curious I’ll do the best I can to help. 

MrsGinter

Hi ladies and congratulations!! 

I’m from the Cleveland Ohio area! Due on Nov. 1st but think it might be late October. 

I have a 9 year old daughter and a 3year old son! 

I’m soo excited to be joining all of you ladies! 

I just tested this week and the test lines have all been dye stealers! I have my first appointment 3/29 which seems soo far away! 

MrsJessS

Where are you from? Washington...and actually just moved back 

Due date? 11/8 

First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages? I have a 3.5 yo son and 1 yo daughter 

Anything else you feel like contributing! Kinda surprised but super happy to be here!

teamginger13

Hi Ladies, 

After 2 rounds of IVF I am so thrilled that I got a BFP!!! EDD is 11/6 -- Beta numbers were good so I feel confident enough to post now (80 first beta, 360 second beta). I have a DD who is 22 months right now. I conceived her after 3 rounds of IVF so I was prepared to do at least 3 rounds of IVF for baby #2 but I am so glad that I only had to do 2!

Happy to meet everyone. I was not very active on my last BMB but I hope to be a little more active this time around. 

jackie_dunny

@myspecialkid DH and I are very interested in trying cloth diapering so I may have to ask you for some advice! 

MrsJessS

@jackie_dunny I’m also happy to help! This will be baby number 3 in cloth for us

sliztee

@jackie_dunny I can also help in the CD arena!

sonovia

Hi ladies!

Congratulations are in order for us all🥰
Im Sonovia. Im originally from NYC but my husband and I have lived in ATL since 2019. Im currently 5 weeks today with a due date of Nov 3.

I will likely have to have a c section so due date may change.

No children earthside. This is our rainbow baby.

Excited for the community. Especially early on while its still a secret ☺️

Has anyone lost their appetite? I just dont have a taste for anything

KNB1027

@teamginger13 Welcome! Wow what a journey you have had! Congratulations on your BFP! 

@myspecialkid I am interested in cloth diapers but DH wants no part of it. I guess I have a while to learn more and try to convince him Thanks for being a resource 

@artsiefartsie I'm so sorry that you have had such a hard journey but I'm glad you are here! Any news on when you will have your first appointment?

@MrsJessS and @MrsGinter Congratulations! I don't know how you are both keeping up with your tiny humans and managing fatigue! I'm impressed  

sliztee

@sonovia Congrats on your rainbow baby!

I’m from Atlanta! What part of the city are you in?
