    1. Where do you reside? I am in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. It is beautiful here! I was born in the south but this is now home to me.

    2. How old are you? As my husband likes to tease me, I am a "quarter of a century" old. (25)

    3. Marital Status? Married to my best friend! We've been together for 6 years now, married for 1.

    4. What do you do for work? I am a pro in the retail world. I have worked in retail since high school. I worked my way up in to management and that's where I've been since. I am almost done with my degree in English and secondary education (finally!) so maybe one day, I'll be in a classroom.

    5. How did you react to your BFP? We lost our first pregnancy, so this BFP was a surprise (we were not trying yet) and kind of a nerve wracking shock. Once we were told that everything was progressing fine, we were ecstatic!

    6. Is this your 1st pregnancy? 2nd...3rd...etc? Technically, this is my 2nd pregnancy but *hopefully* our first take home baby. It's so odd to think that this baby is not really our first. I'm still having trouble coming to terms with that.

    7. Do you hope for one sex of the baby over the other? We are both hoping for a boy, but everyone seems to think this is a girl.

    1. Where do you reside? Virginia

    2. How old are you? 26.

    3. Marital Status? Married for a year and a half

    4. What do you do for work? I'm a kindergarten teacher.

    5. How did you react to your BFP? Well, in my year of trying, I took about a million and six tests and never got a positive, so I couldn't believe it.  The first faint line made me think I was either going crazy or losing my vision.  I took a FR, and it immediately showed up.  Started freaking out a bit, took a digital, and couldn't argue with the "Pregnant" that immediately popped up.  Stared at myself in the mirror, freaking out.  Then I proceeded to run across the field to tell my husband.

    6. Is this your 1st pregnancy? 2nd...3rd...etc? 1st.

    7. Do you hope for one sex of the baby over the other? If they're both one sex, I'd prefer two girls.  Otherwise, I think it'd be neat to have one of each.

    5. How did you react to your BFP?

    In shock, disbelief, then very excited.  I've been charting and I knew that we had sex on my suspected ovulation day, so I took a test on the day I was expecting my period.  Funny thing is, I didn't wait the 3 minutes like the instructions said, because I thought some kind of line would show up.  Since I had taken it at night, I decided to take it in the morning, and I did but again I didn't wait 3 minutes.  Later that night, I looked in the trash and there it was, a line on the test strips!  My H was actually at the airport on his way to Alaska for work when sent him a picture of the positive test so he missed out on seeing it in person because I didn't follow the instructions!

    6. Is this your 1st pregnancy? 2nd...3rd...etc?

    1st

    7. Do you hope for one sex of the baby over the other?

    We both want a girl, but that's starting to go away and I don't think I'm hoping either way.
