princess713 · July 2010

Well here's a little about me! It was nice reading about some of the other girls on this board!

Real Name: Cara

Age: 23

State: Kansas

Due Date: I'm thinking March 6th or so... haven't been to the doctor yet for an exact date.

Pets: One cat (Kitty) and a mix breed dog Rajah.

Other kids: Yes and no. My son died in Nov. 2009 when he was only 25 days old... He had a genetic problem so we are trying again since we got the OK from the genetic counselor.

Symptoms: I feel wonderful except for being dead tired all the time and wanting to strangle my husband (just kidding I love him very much... just not while I'm pg lol)

Gender Preference: I want a healthy baby I can leave the hospital with I don't care really. I have a feeling I'm going to have a girl... I knew I was going to have a boy then entire time I was pg with my son... So I trust my instinct.

Names: We love love love the name Lydia (its the only girl name we can agree on) I am pulling for Anastasia as well but my husband will not ever let me name our daughter that. Ha ha, as for boy names we haven't really thought of anything... Our son's name was Jameson and that was pretty much the best boy name ever so we are tapped out on boy names for now.

Gender Preference: We really don't care, but we both want a girl at some point, so it would be nice if she came first.
