Trying to Get Pregnant

get to know you guys

 I used to post on the bump but stopped for like 6 mos. So tell me about yourselves. I don't recognize most of you. :( But I guess thats good for the others I knew. (i hope)

 

About me - Hubby and I were married 11/29/08 in Savannah, GA. We live in S. FL. I work for Carnival Cruise Lines in sales. He's a photographer/cinematographer and just starting his own photog biz. I'm going to school to become a teacher. We have 3 cats and since I stopped posting here we have gotten a shiba inu and lemon beagle as well.

 The important part - we are TTA until our 2nd anniversary. I would like to now, but we are just trying to save a bit more cash. DH shared great news with me today so I'm hoping it goes well so we can start trying sooner.

  • I'm Claire, DH and I have been together since 07/08, we married 01/09, he deployed 03/09 and he returned in 03/10.  He'll adopt my daughter Monique later this year.  We are in the process of getting back child support from the sperm donor.  I've lived my whole life in Alaska and he's from Ohio.  Being in the military, we will relocate next summer to...who knows where.  We're both 26 and have been TTCing for two months.  I've had about 3.5 cycles in that time..my cycles are so off and it's so frustrating!

     

    Oh I'm a SAHM and am taking classes at the university (GERs still).  One day I'll be a neonatal nurse! 

  • Hello!

    DH and I have been married since January 2nd. We actually started TTC 10/09.

    My first one was about my miscarriage in 2002. (but i twisted it and it was about a girl who wanted to have an abortion and her boyfriend didn't want her too).

     The 2nd one was about my summer romance with my DH (it was a present to win him back - I guess it worked)

     The 3rd was about my ancestor who was hung in the Salem Witch trials.

    Hi, I'm new to the Bump, too.  I posted on the Knot when we were planning our wedding - six years ago!  We'll be celebrating our anniversary on Saturday. :)

    Now, we're finally ready to TTC!  We just started last month.  My family has been asking about grand kids since our wedding and we just weren't ready.  In those six years we bought a house, I found a great job, my husband started a business.  As for pets - we lost our first dog, Kerri, over the summer to bone cancer. :(  Now, we have a black lab named Molly.  She's 2, we adopted her from lab rescue.  She's a handful and eats anything that isn't nailed down!
