Roll Call

sherpa · July 2011

Alright, I wasn't really good at getting to know many bumpies last time around and only recognized the snark queens. So I think we should do a little roll call to see who the regulars are that get on everyday.

I'm sherpa. Real name is Amanda. I have a 2 year old son and I'm a SAHM. I'm super bored with it after 2 years and would love to go back to work but I am also a control freak and want to teach my son my way (plus daycare is expensive and I just can't justify it). I use to be an executive secretary. I'll check in about once or twice a day, usually at LO's nap time which is now.

MrsMorrison2011 · July 2011

I'm Rhiannon and I am a first time mommy. I MC'd last time at six weeks, so I am quite excited to be this far along. I feel like maybe this time will be a success. I work, so I am on here a couple times a day as I have a little free time. I am loving all of the information and support.

mamaofboys · July 2011

I'm Rachel aka MamaofBoys. I have two boys (go figure): one is 4, the other is nearly 2. Had a m/c at 6 weeks between the two of them. SAHM and absolutely LOVE it. We are willing to sacrifice a bit financially for me to stay at home so I can raise our boys how we want. I have so much to do keeping up with 2 boys but because I am so excited about this pregnancy, I am often on throughout the day just chatting and thinking about this baby.

MommaWest11 · July 2011

:-) I usually pop on about every day to read posts. Don't post every day, though. Married in Oct, expecting my first Jan 25th! :-) Nice to meet ya!

Just wondering- have you thought of doing childcare out of your home? DH & I are planning to home school (eventually) and I would like to be able to stay at home as much as I can during the first years as well. I have heavily looked into doing daycare from my home to supplement DH's income. Just a thought.

Hope you stick around & find yourself some good friends on the board (some of the ladies have been so sweet. I haven't really had a run-in with a snarky person myself)

Rhiannon your little Stella is adorable, great name too. I hope this one sticks for you and you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

Rachel, your boys are so handsome. Are you wanting a girl or another boy this time?

We are leaning toward another boy this time just because we feel like we're more prepared for a boy but I think a girl would bring some balance. I don't really care what we have.

Sarah&JoeinSC · July 2011

I'm Sarah and I have 2 girls, ages 4 and 2. I've been on the bump/nest for 5 years but mostly lurk. We are super excited about having a third kid and just figured out that our due date is St. Patrick's Day. I'm not looking forward to the M/S to come, but I am looking forward to chatting with you ladies who will be going through it all with me!

salt78 · July 2011

I'm Salt. I'm more of a lurker on this board than a poster, but I am here on and off through the day because I am chained to a computer for my job (graphic design). This is our first ? and most likely only ? child.

Congratulations on the nuptials! Good to meet you too! I did think about doing childcare out of my home but a few of my friends would want me to watch their kids - I didn't want to complicate the friendships with a employee/employer relationship. (Plus, their kids are a little dramatic for my tolerance but of course that's our secret here. Wink )

Hello ladies!
I am Brittany. I have a 3 1/2 year old and I am a SAHM. I am on here quite a bit because DD is going through an independant phase. Basically the only time I don't have my computer running is if I am napping, making meals, out and about, cleaning or if DD is having a turn. SO and I are not married but have been together almost five years. I don't really know what else to say, I'm never good at these things haha!

Ohmigosh your sono picture is perfect! I love all the cute kid pics we have on here. I need to figure out how to get mine working.

mrshurley10 · July 2011

hey ladies my name is Katie. this will be my first child, (fingers crossed). DH and i have been ttc for over a year and did finally get our first bfp in May. unfortunately i only made it to 5 wks 2 days that time. Suprisingly we got our second bfp 2 weeks ago and are eagerly awaiting our first u/s scheduled for July 29th. I am happy to be past the marker of my prior m/c makes me feel a little more confident. I have a full time job, but still manage to be on this site at least twice a day!!! i loved my old group of girls over on the TTTC board and look forward to spending the next few months with you ladies.

yurijesse · July 2011

Angel002 · July 2011

Hi I'm Angel002, real name is Jenn, I have 2 boys, one will be 9 on Saturday and my little one is 7 1/2 months. I found this board entertaining last time so I like to sit back and read. I check in periodoically cause I think I have ADD with work haha....

I've had miscarriages and a BO in the past so I'm not fully accepting my bfp until my dr's appointment tomorrow. Also, I'm stll pumping so I'm extremely tired and hungry all the time anyway.

Thanks, she is my step daughter and she is an absolute joy! I can't wait to have her a little brother or sister.

heathmarie43 · July 2011

I'm Heather and I'm fairly new to this site. I just found out I was pregnant on July 9 and cannot wait to be a first time mommy!

I normally lurk around the boards during the day while I'm at work. I try to post as often as I can, but I must admit I'm more of a reader. I'm sure I'll be more active now that I'm pregnant since I will have lots of questions (and hopefully a few answers) throughout the next 9 months!

hello fellow Houstonian! i too live in Houston

good luck with everything, i understand how you fell 100%. I had a M/C last June and it took me 1yr to get pregnant, i thought i wasn't going to be able to, but once again i am blessed. I've kept a positive mind, but negative thoughts seem to over come me sometimes, lucky my husband fills me with positive thoughts so it all goes away fast .... im very excited and pray & hope that everything will turn out fine for me, you and those who are stressing due to doctors bad news. ?

lauren.jake · July 2011

I am Lauren! I'm 27 and this is my second pregnancy. My first one was ectopic and I ended up having my left tube removed last year. I am starting to really get excited for this one and I just pray that everything works out. I would love to be a SAHM, but not sure if our finances will allow that right now. I come on here 3 or 4 times a day, I work at my computer a lot!

princessniclyn · July 2011

Hi Amanda! I'm Nikki and a FTM. My DH and I have been married for 7 years in September and were TTC for over 18 months before this one came along...doesn't quite feel real yet. I do work FT and have a crazy long commute (20 minutes to the train, 90 minutes on the train) so am really hoping to go PT after LO comes. Fingers crossed. I try to come in at least once a day but am going through phases where I just lurk and where I post too much!

We are leaning toward another boy this time just because we feel like we're more prepared for a boy but I think a girl would bring some balance. I don't really care what we have.

Thanks so much! Really either way is good. I keep thinking how fun our house would be with 3 boys. Also, I would love to have a girl at some point but not sure if we are finished having kids yet anyway, so maybe another time. My oldest, Liam, thinks that its a girl but I'm not sure if its just because its hard for him to imagine having another baby boy since we have Jude. I think Liam thinks that we would be replacing Jude if we have a boy. Will see...

That is the very worst commute I have ever heard! I hope you're able to work things out. DH use to commute 90 minutes each way and I felt so sorry for him. At least you're on a train and not driving in traffic. Indifferent

JLG95 · July 2011

I'm JLG95, you can call me Bean. I've been around 2 years now. I lurk a lot and post a bit.

I have a 19 month old son and I'm an IT manager for the man. I'm very excited about this pregnancy, I'd love for my son to have a sib that's close to his age. I lost a pregnancy back in February at the 8-10 week mark. That was pretty depressing, but I'm feeling a lot better now.

I will happily share my pregnancy and motherhood horror stories about the following conditions:

Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ganglion Cysts

Mastitis

Umbilical Hernia

Plagiocephaly

jinnlinn · July 2011

Hi Everyone, my name is Jen! This is my 1st baby and we are super excited. I'm due Jan 28th. We tried for 8 months before this BFP and I am so happy everything is still progressing normal! I love this site, has helped through some major freak outs. I work full time and I'm on the computer all day, so I pop on here a couple times a day to check in. Good Luck to all and I look forwarding to sharing with everyone!

LysYoung0578 · July 2011

Hello, My name is Alyssa and I am a mother of two boys John is 3 soon to be 4, Avery is 2, excpecting our third baby, and married to their awesome father John. I work full-time and glad my job is close to home... when I get slow at work I will generally hop on, especially since I'm in front of my computer all day. I'm pretty new to this website but hope to meet new people..

lrichmond86 · July 2011

Hi, my name is Lindsey. My hubby and I were married June 12 and found out we were pregnant June 22! We had many friends who have been ttc for a while unsuccessfully, so we figured we'd start early and lo and behold, it happened for us on our first try! We're really excited, but I'm also very nervous about everything since this is our first and it happened so quickly. My first appointment is on Wednesday and I'm looking forward to getting the a-ok from my ob (hopefully)! I'm a kindergarten teacher, so I'm off for the summer and have a lot of time to read the boards and occasionally post. Everyone here has been super helpful when I'm having minor freak-outs, so I look forward to getting to know you all better!

bethanno · July 2011

Hi! I'm Beth Ann. This is my second pregnancy (1st after m/c). We are excited and nervous. Wednesday we hope to hear the heartbeat for the first time I work full time doing marketing, and my husband works full time from home. We were planing on having him watch the baby when I go back to work until he/she is older and we're ready for daycare. I try to get on everyday. I love to read the posts b/c it makes me feel sane, knowing that I'm not the only one feeling a certain way or whatever. LOL

Best wishes to all of you!!! It's going to be an exciting journey!

mommybrynn · July 2011

My name is Brynn, I am 28, I have a 16 mos. old and I am going back to teaching 7th grade math in September. DD is going to be with a sitter a friend of mine who is home with her son. I have been off since she was born (I went into labor during class, my water broke, very exciting stuff haha) and am terrified to be away from her and back to work full time. I plan to take another year and a half off when the next one is born.

SeaBlue73 · July 2011

Hi Ladies! It's fun to get to know a little bit more about y'all!

My name is Celeste. I've been married 3 1/2 years & waited two years to TTC (despite some annoying friends & family who thought that I was too old to delay baby-making). We had a missed m/c last October & are super excited to be having a totally different pregnancy experience this time around.

I'm an elementary school teacher & my husband is a professor, so we're off for the summer with plenty of time to veg out & play on the computer. I definitely log on 2-3 times a day, and will probably continue to do so when I head back to work next month.

We're due February 3rd, so we'll probably have to find daycare to finish off the school year, but I can hardly wait to be at home with our baby all next summer!

Karley0212 · July 2011

Heey! THis roll call goes on forever! I loved reading each of your little bios. I am Karley. I am not married and a lot of people are not supportive of my pregnancy. The man is super supportive nad os is his family. My parents are supportive as well. I live in Canada and so far my little wormie craves pizza and pepperoni. I am 21.

MrsPinkPeony · July 2011

Hi! I'm Vanessa and a 1st time mommy YAY! I am loving this board so far... lots of great info and advice! I own 2 clothing boutiques and have a pretty hectic schedule, but love to hop on here when I have a few minutes here and there. Looking forward to getting to know you fellow mommies the next 7-8 months

H&H pregnancies to all!

diana.filipi · July 2011

I'm here! I'm here most every day :-)

I am a SAHM who stays very busy with DD. Today we went to the playground then to the wading pool. Home for lunch and a nap. At 3 we went to Art Club and then at 5:30 DD had her swimming lesson. Whew! She is now fast asleep and I have the house to myself as DH is out for Monday night pool league.

rchlbug02 · July 2011

This is so fun! My name is Rachel and my husband and I have been married for a little over four years. This is our first baby and I think I am about 8 weeks along. I have my first doctors appointment on July 18 (which happens to be my birthday

and am really hoping that will help ease my nerves a bit! I am a nurse and my husband is an eye doctor. So nice to "meet" you guys!

Millis mom · July 2011

Good evening ladies. I'm Hillary. I'm a 29 and a first time mommy. My DH and I have been married for 2 years and are the proud parents of a Jack Russell named Milli. I found out I had thyroid cancer right before our first anniversary. We spent the next year getting me healthy. I had a biopsy done on a lymph node, which came back negative, and was cleared to start TTC. We tried for 2 months before getting our BFP. We are completely in shock and are looking forward to being parents!!

sherpa · July 2011

WOW! I'm really enjoying everyone's stories. I am so excited that there are so many checking in. I am very excited for the first timers and especially those that have overcome some obstacles to get here. I don't remember so many second + time moms when I was on a few years ago. No dads though - we did have a few dads back then...well they said they were dads...it could have been nutty alter ego's (AE's) creeping around.

Hope the usual lurkers don't lurk too much - come out and say hello, share your stories, vent, just don't let the snarkies take over the board. Big Smile

H&H 9 Months Mommas!

I'm Brittany. I'm 26 and DH is 30. We have a 4 year old son and I am a SAHM. I do babysit another Toddler during the day. We are really excited to be pregnant and can't wait for our first appt on Friday. I get on the bump everyday (except weekends - we are really busy) but don't always post everyday.

Hi my name is Omi and I'm from Miami,FL but live in Kentucky. Smile

This is my first pregnancy . I am 12 wks. along today and I am expecting in Jan. I am also more of a lurker than a poster. Im so happy that I found this site, I have ladies to look up too if I have any silly questions that need to be answered.

Agree! The good thing is even if I can't go PT I can work from home 2 days a week but working from home doesn't cut down on daycare expenses does it! And, on the train I have gotten a LOT of reading done! And lately napping...
