Ok it looks like the in posts have it. We will give that a try then. If it gets too crazy we can always switch to a blog like the June mommas. So first off I need to know who is here and your EDD. Then let me know if you have any name suggestions. And if you have ideas for a badge you can send it to me also, then we can all vote on it later. And this can be our first check in too!
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info.
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise?
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl)
4. Symptoms so far.
ETA: I would also love any ideas you have for future check ins
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Alright last July post for today, I promise
1. 27 years old, DH will be 32 in a few weeks; 2 dogs; middle school special ed teacher; EDD July 10 (I think)
2. We were trying for 4 mos. with a c/p in mo. 3
3. We're happy with either a boy or a girl. Ideally, we'd like to start with a boy, but whatever comes our way will be wonderful!
4. extremely tender breasts, pulling sensations in abdomen, periodic backaches, craving salt, irritability
Good idea on switching to a blog if this gets nuts--especially as more July Mama's make their way over! Thanks again!
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info.
Based off of my LMP my date is 7/7/10 but my fertility friend chart said 7/10/10 off of my O date. My name is Kenzie, DH and I have been married for 6 years and we decided to TTC in March of 2009. We got our BFP on Oct 28th. OUr first appointment is the day after Thanksgiving (11/27)!! Can't wait!! To keep up with my life check out my blog in my siggy. We havent announced the BFP on the blog yet.
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? This was cycle #6 for us.
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) Either will do!! We do not care!
4. Symptoms so far. Gas!! Backaches and cramps and some nausea but no vomit yet. Oh and a headache but I think that is because I used to drink 3 diet cokes a day and now I am drinking water! lol
EDD= July 11
1. Technically since June, but I had a m/c. This was our first month to try again.
2. Do not care at all. As long as this baby sticks. I think Hubs would love a boy, but just wants this babe to stay.
3. My boobs are a little sore. I also am loving milk which is new, but it's not like a craving.
ETA: Badge ideas are Independence Babes and Rubyesque.
Thanks for doing this!
My EDD is July 9th, although according to babycenter (which factors in length of cycle) it could be July 3rd. I haven't had my first doctor's appt, but I see the nurse next Tuesday and then the doctor the week after.
I live in upstate NY and have been married for 2 1/2 years. I work in the financial industry and really enjoy that.
DH and I went off BCP in August and tried in September before getting our BFP in October. I didn't know my cycle is shorter than 28 days, so I miscalculated when I was ovulating. With that being said I am thrilled to be due in July since I was born in July as well (happy birthday to me!)
We are both hoping for a boy. My parents already have a granddaughter, so I'd love to have the first grandson. With that being said we would be thrilled with either.
Symptoms so far include fatigue, and my boobs started to get tender this morning. Appetite is fine, no m/s (although I know it's coming!)
Looking forward to "meeting" all of you!
1. I'm 25, DH will be 28 in Dec., we have 3 dogs, and 1 bird, EDD is July 1st
2. 4 cycles
3. DH wants a boy, I don't care as long as I end up with atleast 1 of each eventually
4. Very sore boobs, super tired
, occasional cramps (they were worse at first), and being hungry like every 3 hours
Hey all,
1. EDD 7-7-2010
2. A big surprise
3. Hoping for a healthy baby
4. Symptoms so far: VERY tender boobs and mild twinges
I am a newbie here, but I thought I would participate
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info. I am 30, I teach middle school reading in Dallas, TX. I have been married for a little over a year, and I have two malipoos that I love very much! EDD: July 4, 2010
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? We started trying in September, got our BFP a little over a week ago
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) We would like a boy, but we will be happy with a healthy baby.
4. Symptoms so far: sore boobs, using the restroom every 10 minutes or so.
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info. My EDD is July 3rd. I am a mental health counselor and DH works in advertising. I am 27 and DH is 26. We have 2 dogs and consider them to be our first children :-)
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? This was our first cycle "not preventing".
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) We would be thrilled with either-we just want a healthy baby, but both of us have an instinct that it is a boy.
4. Symptoms so far. In the beginning: cramps, gas, bloating, and during week 4 I had bad nausea and dizziness. Now it is mostly tender breasts and occasional cramps-m/s has been gone for about almost a whole week. I also have a bigger appetite and get tired more easily.
1. 7/11 (based on my O date). I am 27 and DH is 35. We have a 2 1/2 yo, Megan.
2. Trying since January. We have male infertility factor (DH is partially paralyzed) so we only had about 4 potentially successful months.
3. Havent had a chance to talk about this; DH is OOT from last Fri to this sunday and I told him Saturday. DH probably wants a boy (we wanted a boy with #1) and I would be happy either way. A boy would be great! A sister for Meg would be awesome!
4. Nauseous yesterday, and then there is always the SORE boobs and the ute growing pains.
On my local board, we do Pregnancy check-ins and they always include: What week are you in, whats your current pain, what you are looking forward to that week, when your next appt is, a confession, and a chance to ask a question for the next check-in.
Steal my kids picture or pretend they are yours, I will find where you live and ship all of their dirty diapers to your doorstep. Promise.
1. EDD is July 10th. I'm 27, my DH is 29. I teach 4th grade.
2. Cycle #2 of actually trying. Cycle #1 was a c/p. Been off bcp since June though.
3. Hoping for a healthy baby! (Also, I hope I don't have twins as it kind of scares me!)
4. Cramping and super tired.
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info.
My EDD is July 6. I am 27 (28 this month!) and I work in politics. My husband is 28, and works in the grocery business. We have been married since September 19th, just over 6 weeks. We have 12 fish, and we actually just lost our puppy to parvo the DAY before I found out I was pregnant. We'd gotten him from a rescue organization on a Sunday, rushed him to the vet ER on Tuesday and he passed Wednesday night...then I got a BFP on Thursday morning. Yeah, talk about a hectic, emotional week.
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise?
I went off the pill on July 26th, and have been "trying" ever since. I honestly did not think it would happen this quickly, I thought it would have taken much longer since I'd been on BC for several years.
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) I've always wanted a boy, but now that I am pregnant, I really couldn't care less...and we're not finding out beforehand, we want it to be a surprise!! I think my family would love to have a boy though!
4. Symptoms so far. cramping, some cravings (omg I want shrimp like it's nobody's busniess!) and my bewbs are hyoooooge. Ok, well only 1 cup size bigger, but they feel enormous! I think my hips are a little wider too...
Thanks for doing this!!
1. My EDD is July 4th. I'm 25 and DH is 26. We've been married for 4.5 years, and have one furbaby already.
2. We had been trying for 22 months. Been through all sorts of medicated cycles, and were told the next step would be IVF. Our insurance doesn't cover IVF, and we weren't in a position to pay for it out of pocket so we were just kinda in limbo when we got our BFP!
3. Honestly we would be thrilled with either, but I know DH would love a boy!
4. Symptons: Peeing a ton, and a little bit of a queasy stomach but that's pretty much it.
Can't wait to spend the next 9 months with you girls!
1. i THINK my EDD is july 1 but i haven't had a period since i had jack so that is a guesstimate! jack was born 3 months premature and was in the NICU for 75 days so i am very nervous for this baby, along with being superexcited. i'm a 28 year old preK teacher. DH is also 28. we've been married just over 5 years, but known each other since we were 11.
2. we were trying for 2 months, but didn't even know if i was ovulating or not. we were pretty surprised i got pregnant without ever even having a PP AF.
3. i am on the fence about boy or girl...one of each would be nice but a teenage daughter terrifies me. DH is the same. this is our last child regardless!
4. nausea, bloating, exhaustion. i was already asked if i was pregnant YESTERDAY at jack's 1st birthday party so our families already know. we were planning to wait a few weeks but apparently that was not to be. i am worried work is going to notice soon!
07.03.10 but will confirm at my first appt in a few weeks. we already have a 19mo DD.
we got lucky - first month of trying for both.
just concerned with a healthy babe! I don't care either way.
bloated. ugh. suuuper bloated.
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? I've been off BC since March, since then we weren't "trying" but not preventing either. This was the first time we actually timed sex around when I thought I was O'ing.
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) I am find with either. But DH really wants a boy, bc he is the last male in his family and if we don't have a boy his family name will end with him
4. Symptoms so far. Before getting my BFP, I could feel strange twinges and pulling that I hadn't felt before. I was very tired and felt like I was getting sick. SInce getting my BFP, I've just been VERY tired and sore breasts.
1. Due July 3. Husband and I are both 28 and have been married for a little over a year. This is our first baby, although our "daughter" Lola did keep us up at night by howling in her crate her first couple of weeks! I teach at a community college, hit summer vacation perfectly
2. This was our first month trying. DH is VERY proud of himself
3. Either one is fine, although we are at great odds over a girl's name, so a boy would solve that problem
4. Just started having pretty constant nausea, if I'm not eating I'm nauseous. Pretty tired as well...
This is fun! I definitely want in on this thread. :-)
1. In addition to your EDD, how about some get-to-know-you info? I'm turning 34 this week and my DH just turned 30 two weeks ago. We just got married on July 4, 2009. Our EDD is July 3, 2010. Yay for summer babies!
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? It was sort of a surprise because we were trying since August while using the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. So, October came and we decided to go to Paris as a let's-be-spontaneous trip. The monitor said I had high ovulation chances for TWO and a HALF weeks! No period and I was on day 39 of my cycle. I attributed to the travel while my DH thought the monitor was broken. Fast forward to Oct. 30 - I had an extra pregnancy test and just took it for no reason. Bam! BFP!
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? Anything!
4. Symptoms so far? Very tender breasts, bloated, fatigue, and mild cramping or pulling sensation.
Ideas: We should definitely check-in with each other with symptoms and any other special events like tests, doctor's visits, plans, feelings. :-)
Hi July Mamas!
1. My EDD is July 9, but I had a longer than normal cycle right before my BFP, so I might be a little further along. I'll find out at my first appointment with my midwife on 11-23!
2. We were trying for about 3 months.
3. We are just hoping for a healthy baby! We can't take the suspense, so we will be finding out!
4. I have had some mild naseau, with some breast tenderness. Other than that, nothing much. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way!!
My badge ideas are "July Bursts of Love" with a firecracker in the badge. Or "July baby liberties" (like lady liberty!) with the statue of liberty in the badge.
1. My EDD is July 5th i think. I'm 26 and DH is 27. I am a medical assistant at a pediatric office DH is in mangement. We have been for 4 1/2 years and have a wonderful 2 1/2 year old son.
2. I guess technically we have been trying since March. I got my IUD out in march didn't have a period for 2 months then got a BFP May 11th that ended in a miscarriage and had a D&C on June 4th and now here we are again! Hoping and praying this baby sticks!
3.Dont think either of us care as long as it sticks and is healthy!
4. sore boobs, slight cramping on and off, peeing non stop, fatigue, and burping non-stop!!
1. EDD: 7/7/2010. I will be 32 this month and DH will be 37 this month. Our first-born arrived just a little over a year ago and she's the light of our lives!! We've been married for 4 years now and we both work FT. I'm in child welfare and he's in insurance.
2. We weren't necessarily trying; however, I only took BC for the first month or two after DD was born. I went off of it b/c it was the mini pill and I would never take it on the right schedule. Anyways, this BFP was the 3rd cycle since AF returned (I'm BF'ing). So not trying, not preventing.
3. DH wants a boy, I prefer either.
4. Mild cramping on and off, mild nausea on and off, dizziness/light headedness and headaches; nothing I can't handle.
My first pregnancy was easy so I'm hoping for a repeat. 
1. We are due July 9th, but that could change since I ovulated later. If I go off my O date it says I am due July 11th. I am 24 and so is DH, he is a police officer and I am a teacher. We have been together 3 years and married since July 11th, which an anniversary baby would be so cool.
2. We weren't trying right after the wedding in July and I got KU. I had an early m/c and was supposed to wait two cycles before trying again. I got KU my first cycle back trying again.
3. We don't care, but I have a strong feeling it's a boy.
4. Fatigue, sore boobs, gassy crampy feeling, peeing all the time, and back ache.
1. EDD-July 1st DH and I have 2 boys, Chase is 5 and Rylan is 22 months. We also have a very large great dane mix Sophie and 2 cats, Big Boy and Porter. I work in customer service at a medical lab and my DH is an exec chef at a large hotel.
2. We started trying in June
3. We are really hoping for a girl this go around
4. I have pretty sore boobs, some bloating, nausea just recently started and I am EXTREMELY tired...which is really hard with 2 little boys running around!
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info.
Our EDD is July 4, but this will likely be a scheduled c/s in late June.
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise?
2 months
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl)
Healthy baby, of course. We have a daughter, so I'm torn about whether I want two girls close in age or to experience one of each.
4. Symptoms so far.
Sore nipples last week. Some light-headedness. Hoping m/s doesn't kick in at 6 weeks like it did with my first pregnancy.
1. We are due July 4, 2010! We live in the Texas Hill Country where I am a teacher and DH is a project manager.
2. We've been trying since September
3. Either one
4. Hungry all the time, insomnia, cramping.
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info: 7/13. Married in August, DH is in school until April, 2 dogs, and that's about it
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? Got pregnant the third cycle off BCP. We were trying, but DH likes to say we were just letting God decide.
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) Either. DH I think wants a boy. I would only prefer a girl over a boy because then he'll still want to have more
4. Symptoms so far: The pulling sensation down there. I get starving FAST. One minute I'm fine, the next it actually hurts I'm so hungry.
EDIT: Deleted quote
1. Due July 4th. This will be our second baby and DD just turned 1 so we are headed to 2u2!
2. Surprise!
3. I want a girl, he wants a boy. I do really want a boy but I also want to use all DD's clothes again, lol
4. Cramps, tiredness, some cravings
Name ideas: Firecrackers, Summer Sparklers.... I don't know. It is cliche but all that makes sense!
Dh is 29 and i am 26. We have a crazy 2 year old lab:) EDD based on LMP is July 4th based on O July 10. we shall see what doc says at first appt on Dec2.
this was our 3rd cycle:) 4th month of bcp
Mainly a healthy baby. If we HAD to chose DH would want a boy and I a girl. I always wanted a boy first since i wanted an older brother growing up but since my sister had the first grandSON I would love to have the first grandDAUGHTER.
Sore breasts cramping on and off in back and tummy. I guess tired...though I am tired a lot in general. On apositve note NO headaches since getting BFP:)
1. EDD is 7/7/2010. DH and I live in Connecticut where we just finished building and moving into a new house. DH manages a car dealership and I work for a pharma company doing IT project management. We've been married for 2 1/2 years though we have been together since 1999. This will be our first baby though we treat our two cats like they are our children!
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? We started trying in October and got a BFP 10/25 (after 3 negative tests in the days before that).
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl). As long as the baby is healthy we're good with either
4. Symptoms so far: a little dizzy and short-winded at times. Gas and lots of peeing! Had some naseau last week but that seems to have passed. Mild pain every once in awhile near the uturus but that's about it. Much to DH's disappointment the boobs have not gotten very big yet!
ETA: I would also love any ideas you have for future check ins
1. July 15, 2009 - I know, I am early. I am a lawyer and will be 28 in a few days. DH and I have been married for 18 months today and have been together for 8.5 years.
2. One month.
3. I want a girl, DH wants a boy - but of course, we would be happy with either.
4. Symptoms - sporadic back ache, and some pulling. It also just feels full in my lower abdomen.
1. EDD, I think July 9th. My Birthday is on the 1st, so it will be a great birthday present!! I don't have my first appointment until the 24th, and that is only with the nurse to get on vitamins (huh? been taking those for a couple months now!) and I don't know what else. Who knows when I'll get to see the Dr. or hear the heartbeat! I teach music at a college....um, we've been married just about 3 years and a month.
2. Officially we tried for a month, though we weren't avoiding the month before. I never thought it would happen so quickly - we are so blessed!
3. I'm kind of hoping for a boy first - DH won't say. I dont' think he'll care as long as our LO is healthy!
4. I've had really sore BB's, and some cramp-like feelings. (I was convinced AF was on her way!) I had one bit of dizziness. I think a little bit of heightened smell, and heartburn (though, I have GERD so it's hard to tell, but it seems a little worse than usual!)
I think that's it - can't wait to meet everyone!
1. In addition to your EDD how about some get to know you info. EDD is July 5. Excited for an Independence Day baby! I'm 24, DH will be 26 this week. I'm a wedding photographer and DH is a 5th grade teacher. We have two amazing dogs.
2. How long you were trying or if it was a surprise? Tried for 10 months, got a BFP on Clomid in March, which ended in a m/c. I had surgery in July, and we were able to begin TTC in September to no avail. Began Femara in October and got an immediate BFP!
3. What you and DH are each hoping for? (boy or girl) I have a feeling it's a boy, DH thinks it's a girl. We'd be ecstatic with either.
4. Symptoms so far. Peeing a little more than usual, hungrier, a few pulls in the uterus, fatigue, lack of motivation.
YAY! So excited for a July baby!
1. Hasn't been confirmed yet but I think EDD should be around July 6-8; DH is 24 and I'm 26 we live in a really small town in the midwest with our crazy female dog Bruce!
2. Well I hate to say this bc I know many people having been trying for so long but surprisingly we started trying in October and well, conceived in October.
3. I kind of want a boy more than girl but it depends on the day; DH wants a boy, of course!
4. HUGE boobs with huge blue veins all over; random nausea, super moody [especially crying], backache, headaches [though those were a problem before] and starting to have the heightened smell
We got lucky in our second month of trying.
We are both hoping for a girl. ?Our first was a boy.
No symptoms so far.
Due July 5th.
?
1. EDD, I think July 9th. My Birthday is on the 1st, so it will be a great birthday present!! I don't have my first appointment until the 24th, and that is only with the nurse to get on vitamins (huh? been taking those for a couple months now!) and I don't know what else. Who knows when I'll get to see the Dr. or hear the heartbeat! I teach music at a college....um, we've been married just about 3 years and a month.
2. Officially we tried for a month, though we weren't avoiding the month before. I never thought it would happen so quickly - we are so blessed!
3. I'm kind of hoping for a boy first - DH won't say. I dont' think he'll care as long as our LO is healthy!
4. I've had really sore BB's, and some cramp-like feelings. (I was convinced AF was on her way!) I had one bit of dizziness. I think a little bit of heightened smell, and heartburn (though, I have GERD so it's hard to tell, but it seems a little worse than usual!)
I think that's it - can't wait to meet everyone! (Hope this isn't a re-post - I can't understand why I always switch to the nest and I still couldn't find my post!)EDD : July 5th (thats by my estimates from the internet but my first appointment is Nov 23)
I'm 25 DH is 27. We were just married on May 29th of this year but we have known each other for over 4 years. We have a 2 yr old min pin and have a condo together in CT.
This was a suprise but I have been wanting children forever!
I would love to have a boy first after working in day care for a while I noticed that boys were more easy going and girls more fussy. But more than anything I just want a happy healthy baby!
As for symptoms not many which makes me a little nervous. I've been going on cleaning frenzies, certain foods make me feel nauseous, feeling tired, and def. edgy.
1. EDD is 7/12/10...I'm 27, DH 29 I teach 8th grade special education. We have two dogs and a cat.
2. Off BCP mid cycle in August...but first official cycle was Sept.
3. We haven't really discussed this, we both just want a healthy little one that sticks and then thrives. I think I'd like to have a boy though.
4. Tired and dizzy, odd pinchy/stretchy feelings.
1. I'm 27 (my 1st appt is on my 28th bday
) and DH is 28. We are huge penn state fans/alumni. EDD is 7/7/10 (based on LMP) but based on O b/w 7/10-7/12.
2. This is our first month. I am still in COMPLETE SHOCK.
3. Everyone has boys first in my family (for 3 generations on my dad's side). So I'm hoping to surpise everyone with a girl (although I would be estatic for a boy).
4. Fatigue, very swollen/slightly tender breats, lots of pulling sensations with a few cramps here and there.
