Okay, I'll bite
How old are you? 31
How did you and your husband/significant other meet? And how long have you been together/married? We met at a college football game. We've been together for 11 years, married for 7.5.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now? DS thinks our dogs are hilarious. He belly laughs when I make our Lab sit, and since the dog barely gets his butt on the ground before he's up again, DS has many opportunities to laugh!
Do you SAH or WOH? What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now? I SAH now, but I was a teacher for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders before I had DS.
What's a quirky trait that you have? I am very indecisive, but when I do finally make a decision, I am the most stubborn person you'll ever meet. I also tend to be a far more analytical person rather than emotional, so it is difficult for me to understand other female perspectives at times.
Anything random about yourself that you want to share? Hmm. Nope.
Diagnosed with PCOS March '10 - Started 1000mg of Metformin
After 3 unsuccessful Clomid cycles, FSH+Ovidril+IUI+Progesterone=BFP!
Time to make Emilie a big sister!
May '16 2.0: Letrozole+FSH+Menopur+Ovidril+IUI+Progesterone=BFP! first beta-45.44, second beta-148
I am 23.
My husband and I went to HS school together. We started dating when we were 15 and we'll be married for 2 years this April.
D is so sweet all the time. I really love watching him discover different textures and sounds with his toys. He loves to put everything in his mouth or hold it above him and stare at it. Also, every time I change his diaper he'll grab ahold of my arm and kinda rub it. Its so adorable
I am a SAHM but I have my nursing degree. Once D is a yr old I plan to go back to work. I love working in the ICU or I'd love to go back to school to be a midwife.
A quirky trait. Hmm I think my husband would say its my little rituals I have. Folding laundry is very ritualistic and relaxing to me. I shake everything- boxes of cereal, bottles of liquid, jars of sauce, glass of water. 3 shakes and we're good!
A little random. Hm I guess I feel super close with all you ladies and sometimes I think, "Hm I'll ask the CD ladies." But I don't want this board to get too random so I just do a little WWCDLadiesD and go for it
And, I hate eating weird, skinny, burnt, or brown french fries. If the ends are sharp I pinch them off. I can't handle McD's or Steak and Shake fries!
How old are you? I'm 25.
How did you and your husband/significant other meet? And how long have you been together/married? Our friends were engaged. We were both in the wedding. They broke up, we got together. We have been together for six years and married for four.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now? He tries to give us "kisses", which really means sucking on our face every chance he gets. Love those slobber kisses!
Do you SAH or WOH? What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now? I'm a SAHM right now and am working towards my doula certification. I'm a doula very part-time now and I'm not sure if I will go full-time once I get certified. It will probably depend on if we start working on munchkin number two next year or not. Before I had the baby I was a medical receptionist.
What's a quirky trait that you have? I have to blow in my glass before I pour anything in it. It's some sort of weird OCD thing I have had since childhood. I also don't drink the last half inch of liquid in the cup.
Anything random about yourself that you want to share? I did all my Christmas shopping this evening and I am DONE! DH was home early from work and was watching the little guy so I decided to take advantage and do some speed shopping.

How did you and your husband/significant other meet?
He got out of patrol school and was stationed in my town. My mom owns a restaurant that the Troopers frequent a he came in while in training while I was working.
And how long have you been together/married?
We've been together four years and married in April 2011.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now?
Baby on board for us! I'm due 1226 but we may be meeting baby this week due to high BP and bedrest.
Do you SAH or WOH?
WOH
What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now?
So. He had NOTHING to do with influencing me, but I'm a State Trooper like my husband. And he's my shift partner. I had already started my application process when he moved to town. We work two separate counties but they're adjoining and its out of the same office. When I go back in April, he's working strictly nights and I'll work strictly days so we don't have to do child care and the baby can always have a parent at home. Its the closest to being a SAHM I will get. My pay is too good and the benefits rock. My dream would be SAH until prek and go back but its not an option in my line.
What's a quirky trait that you have?
I'm VERY anal about my laundry. No one can touch it. Which has made bed rest difficult. Is that quirky or just maniac!?
Anything random about yourself that you want to share?
This is our first together and my husband always says he can't believe he married such a crunchy hippie. He's such a city boy grew up in NYC and I'm all about home made laundry detergent, organic milk, baby wearing, and cloth diapering. He's not used to the way I want to do things. He's SO grateful I have the bump because its taught us both a lot.
How old are you? 33 (Just turned, I had to think about that one!)
How did you and your husband/significant other meet? And how long have you been together/married? We met at a country and western bar, haha. Neither of us are really into that type of thing, so it was kind of random. We've been together 6 years, married for 4 next month.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now? I think everything she does is cute! But when she sees a picture of someone she knows, she squeals. It's so cool that she can recognize people in pictures.
Do you SAH or WOH? What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now? I work in compliance at a hospital.
What's a quirky trait that you have? Like PP, I prefer to have things in rainbow order, even food. Trix cereal is a nightmare for me.
Anything random about yourself that you want to share? I love to bake! I made my BFF's wedding cake, probably my biggest accomplishment.

How did you and your husband/significant other meet? And how long have you been together/married? My best friend and his best friend met via a dating website. They wanted to meet, but didn't want to go alone for safety reasons. We both agreed to go along to keep them company. We hit it off over dinner & have been together ever since. We've been together for 9 years and married for 8.5.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now? He's just started cooing and paying more attention to what is going on around him. Last night he had a whole "conversation" with the yellow cow hanging on his carseat handle.
Do you SAH or WOH? What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now? WOH - I work in the actuarial department at an insurance company. If you don't know what an actuary is, you'r not alone. Just think number crunching for insurance companies.
What's a quirky trait that you have? I have a good memory - as in semi-photgraphic. Came in really handy in school!
Anything random about yourself that you want to share? I used to crochet and sew when I was younger, but up until about 6 months ago hadn't done either in many years. I crocheted a blanket and some throws for our new livingroom set before LO was born. I'd really like to start sewing CD's and maybe try to crochet wool soakers. But my biggest personality flaw is I usually bite off more than I can chew. We'll see if I can actually get any sewing done while working full time and taking care of two boys!
How old are you? I am just about to turn 33.
How did you and your husband/significant other meet? And how long have you been together/married? We actually met while I was out with another guy, lol.

We've been together 13 years and married for 5.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now? I love all of his facial expressions. It is so adorable when he gets excited about something and his mouth just opens up into the biggest smile!
Do you SAH or WOH? What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now? I SAH, but I do have a very part time job teaching cake decorating. I was a cake decorator before I decided to SAH.
What's a quirky trait that you have? I'm sure my DH would have tons of answers to this question! I will say that I tend to get along better with men than with women. I have a bit of a tomboy personality.
Anything random about yourself that you want to share? Right now, I am doing a dairy free diet because it looks like dairy contributes to DS's reflux. I just tried dairy free cheese the other day and, I have to say, it was seriously not that bad. And I am obsessed with cheese
It will get me by until I can have real cheese again, lol.
I'm 24

How did you and your husband/significant other meet? And how long have you been together/married?
November marked 8 years of being together and celebrated 5 years married this year.
What's something cute or funny that your baby is doing now?
DD has been big on developing her physical skills like walking, running, and climbing. But she has started using words and actually talking more. Last night when she was up at 3am
she started saying bubble asking for us to get out her bubble maker. Even at 3am it was pretty stinking cute to see her actually using verbal skills.
Do you SAH or WOH? What was your line of work before SAH/What is your line of work now?
WOH, DH is a SAHD. I went back to my job after maternity leave and celebrated 5 yrs with the company this year. I work as an engineering in our sales department. Basically I have to know everything our engineers do but not actually engineer anything. I can talk sales and customer but also technical. I am an awesome interface I guess.
What's a quirky trait that you have?
I am a super geek. All ways have been and always will be.
Anything random about yourself that you want to share?
42, I will always answer 42 if anybody asks me if they can ask me a question or an open ended question like this. It is after all the answer to life the universe and everything.
This makes three of us. I've compromised with J that if he needs something of his clean he can wash it but he isn't to touch anything else.
I've had a bunch of fun reading everyone's GTKY answers! I especially liked hearing the cute things all the little ones are doing now.
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,

I loved that job and recently spoke with my former manager who said my job is there whenever I want it back!
