Re: **GTKY
For me:
1.HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE/WANT? We would like 2 maybe 3
2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not that I know of.
3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I would learn how to french braid hair! lol exciting huh?
4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? People say I look like Reese Witherspoon.
5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR
? It depends...all together about 3 hours/day.
6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? my DD's bouncer!
7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? Sales...but will be a residential appraiser in June.
8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? I'm a small city girl...not into big cities!
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!
2.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Supposedly my mom only knew one person with my name and she liked it, so technically yes, but no one significant (turned out to be a really popular name anyways)
3.IF YOU COULD LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Oh, hard question. Maybe snowboard... I have tried when I was younger and I sucked, now I feel I am too old and lazy to learn, but would love to be able to go on family trips when our kids are older.
4.WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU GET MISTAKEN FOR? Not anymore, but back in the day Sarah Michelle Gellar.
5.ON AVERAGE, HOW LONG DO YOU BUMP FOR
? Now, maybe 20-30 mins tops, if that, some days not at all.... DS keeping me too busy!
6.NAME ONE BABY ITEM YOU COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT? Hmmm.... Oh, Dance and Wiggle Puppy. DS has loved him for a longgggg time, it helped immensely with tummy time and now he still loves it, and practices his dance moves with it lol.
7.WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? Teacher
8.ARE YOU A BEACH,COUNTRY OR CITY GIRL? None I feel like, I prefer to live in the burbs than full on country or full on city, but enjoy aspects of both. I like to visit the beach, but would rather a pool lol.... not sure what my answer is!
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.

Trying for #2 since Oct 11
Spontaneous pregnancy #2= Ectopic #2= lost left tube
Spontaneous pregnancy #3= DD2 January 29, 2016
Spontaneous pregnancy #4= Ectopic #3
Spontaneous pregnancy #5= Baby #3 is a BOY!!!
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.
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
