swimiz500 · April 2012

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? I have one. I want either one or two, so we will see I guess!

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No, but my initials were. My dad and his parents were all SJM, so they wanted me to be too. When they couldn't come up with a "J" middle name, they just went with Jaye.

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Calm down.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? Oh none, as far as I know!

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR

? During the day, not long, maybe 5-10 mins, but a bit longer at night after DD goes to bed.

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? Currently, her jumperoo. But before that, bouncy chair and RNP.

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? SAHM

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? City for sure. Though it wouldn't hurt if it were a city on the beach.

Little&BigPea · April 2012

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? Personally, 2-3 but DH and I have decided together that we are one-and-done.

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes and no, I was named at the hospital. I was born back in the day before you were able to find out sex from the ultrasounds. My Mom was sure I was going to be a boy and had planned to call me Eric. My parents had not come up with even a short list of girl names. After they decided on my name they choose the spelling of a neighborhood girl, which was not as common of a spelling as my Mom thought. So, I have a pretty common first name with a unique spelling, which means my first name is always spelled wrong unless I correct it.

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Patience, especially now with DD, I need to work on this.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? It's only happened once, I had a BF that said I looked like Cyndi Lauper back in her 80's hay-day.

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ? An half an hour or so on my lunch break everyday, unless I have posted a questions or if I am following a thread, then I'll stay tuned in all day at work. Not much Bump time once I get home though.

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? My cloth diapers, I have a mild obsession, OK, more of a major addiction to CD's.

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? Technical Manager, basically I speak engineer and customer so I am the conduit between our sales force and our engineering departments.

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? Beach but DH and I have agreed that we are very happy being suburbanites... but living in LA we are not 5 minutes away from the ocean and that is our idea of "happy suburbia."

ETA: holy siggy... Sorry, i'll try to fix it!

nedmac1021 · April 2012

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT?

We have one right now. I wouldn't mind having 3 or 4, but DH only wants 2 total.

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?I was named after my great-grandfather on my dad's side. Also, Lacey was named after her great-great grandfather on my mom's side (he was Lacy and we changed the spelling to Lacey to make it more feminine).

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I wish I could learn a foreign language. It just didn't click for me in high school or college.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR?

I don't think I've ever been mistaken for a celebrity, for better or for worse?

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ?

Total during the day, about an hour...maybe a little more and then some more (maybe an hour or so?) after Lacey goes to bed. DH is travels Monday through Thursday for work, so those days tend to be heavier Bump days :-)

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT?

When she was younger, her swing.

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION?

SAHM

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL?

Somewhere between a city and country girl. Grew up in a small city and now live outside of Washington, DC in Northern Virginia.

carrielb12:

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? Have 1, would like 3 eventually.

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My Aunt Joy and Great Grandmother Anna = Joyanna

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I've always wanted to do something in the medical field, but could never decide specifically what was "calling me" Something in that area would be great.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? None in person, I've had people say I look like Gretchen Wilson in pics. Weird thing though, people mistake me for random people they know ALL.THE.TIME. It's kind of funny.

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ? I guess like an hour a day. I check it periodically throughout the day.

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? Rock & Play

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? SAHM

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? Definitely country girl, living in the city. I would love to live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors for miles.

jlsimon56 · April 2012

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? I have 1, I originally wanted 4-5 but I'm older and realistically only have time to have 1 more. DH wants 2. I would love to have twins and get 2-for-1.

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Nope! Like someone else, I was "supposed" to be a boy. I am a twin and we ended up BOTH being girls. My sister is named after Meredith Baxter Birney (sp?) b/c she'd just had twins. I am pretty sure the nurse suggested Jennifer, and my dad liked it so he chose it for me.

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I would love to play the piano!

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? Not a celebrity...but people think they know me all the time. I am very generic-looking (I think) so I look like everyone else. At least once a month, someone asks me if they know me from somewhere. They never do.

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ? I'm on all day at work, and a little after LO goes to bed, depending on the day.

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? Hand-me-downs. Does that count? Haha. We have 5 nieces. :-) Thank God LO was a girl!

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? Molecular Biochemist. I make DNA.

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? I could dig all 3. I love Cape Cod beaches, spending a weekend in NYC or up in Maine. I went to college at Colgate - upstate NY, middle of nowhere - and liked it fine.

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? Have 1 here and 1 on the way. Maybe 1 more after that, though I would love many more.

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My parents couldn't decide and Jodie Foster was on the cover of People magazine or TV guide when I was born so that's how they got the name.

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Play an unusual instrument, like the harp or something.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? People tell me I look like Liv Tyler all the time, seriously strangers stop me on the street. I don't see it.

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ? Here and there throughout the day when I can get a few minutes, maybe an hour or so total.

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? Baby jail! That's what DH and I call the huge gate we just got and constructed into a big pen. It's a life-saver now that she is crawling.

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? I run child care centers, but I'm on extended (read 2 years) maternity leave now and will probably start my own business instead of going back to my old job.

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? Grew up in the suburbs, live in a city now but don't really like either. I think I would like country best so DH and I hope to have a farm someday (he grew up on one).

There are several new ladies that joined recently, so let's get to know eachother a little better! Plus, it's realyl slow so, here are a cluster of questions

1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? We currently have 1, but we want 2 or 3. We haven't decided exaclty just yet, I guess we will see how #2 goes!

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? I was named after my dad's favorite Aunt.

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I have always wanted to take tap dancing lessons. But I have just never gotten around to it.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? None, but I have been told that I resemble Jewel and Amanda Bynes. (Which, is not necessarily a compliment judging from how she looked in her most recent DUI pic ...)

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ? I try to get a few minutes in every day, it used to be longer, but my DH was giving me such a hard time about it. (this from the man that plays Fantasy Sports year round with MULTIPLE teams for each season and has done so every year for the 7 years we have been together...but whatevs. Clearly I am the one that spends too much time on the internet...)

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? high chair I guess. This is a tough one though, because I go through a list of baby items in my head, I find many many many of them useful, but I could live without many of them. But a high chair would be tough to be without because she pretty much loves to feed herself for every meal!

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? Registered Nurse

8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? Well, we live in the CIty, but I LOVE the beach more than anything, so I will say Beach girl.

jesstellina · April 2012

2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Nope, just a name my mom liked. My dad says my middle name (Lynne) was after his friend (a guy) Lyn though.

3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I'll go with what someone else said - french braid hair. I've never been able to & always wished I could.

4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? I've heard Mischa Barton, Nicole Kidman, Trisha Yearwood (old country singer), Kirsten Dunst, and Julia Roberts. I know none of them look alike... so different features of mine must resemble each of them.

5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR ? maybe an hour a day

6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? white noise machine

7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? medical student, soon to be resident physician
