S/O of MandJS's s/o newbies and intros post: Introduce/Reintroduce yourself

Sprite2012 · October 2012

I agree with most of the responses on MandJS's thread. Lots of newbies, lots of lurkers coming out of hiding, lots of new SNs popping up leaving a lot of us who have frequented this BMB for months with a big question mark. So, lets have a introduce/reintroduce yourself thread. If you're a regular, reintroduce yourself. If you're a newbie/lurker/AE, introduce yourself - okay, go...

crazymegs · October 2012

Good idea! Because I never thought of introducing myself until I saw that, dunno why LOL. I am a STM and am so excited to meet my little boy! I am 37W 3D and my doc thinks I will go by myself before my due date (18th). Just to be safe I am scheduled to be induced the 19th. I am currently 2 cm and 80%!

Organizedbride@yahoo.com · October 2012

I have posted here and there..seems as if I have posted more lately since I am getting closer to labor day and am a FTM.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Danielle, married for almost 2 years, expecting our first, a baby boy, Jayden Blaize. I am due 11/11 and plan on having a normal VB with meds. Counting the days

alysie89 · October 2012

Hey. I've introduced my self early on in the 1st tri but then dissappeared for a long time till i was off work. I'm a ftm, due on 27th of nov. Right now we think that baby is coming early based on my progress so far, and now i'm starting to go through all the typical new mom fears so it's been awesome getting to read all of your ladies posts they've really helped me out, and given me a few great laughs

!

persephonerose · October 2012

hello!

I do not think I ever did a real introduction on our BMB. I used to post on the IF, TTGP, and TTGP35 boards during our struggle to get pregnant. But I stopped for a while because it made me more depressed.

I am 37, DH is 36. By the time we married neither of us felt we would ever have kids so having a baby is a huge deal to us. I feel very lucky that even with the AMA, blood pressure, RA, and Fibro my pregnancy has gone fairly well.

We are having a boy, Donovan Alexander and we are very excited to finally meet him!

Sprite2012 · October 2012

I'm Sarah and I'm not a newbie. I had an account on TK over 6 years ago when I planned my wedding. I discovered the BMBs and community boards in a Bump magazine I saw at my midwife's office at my 12 week appointment. I created a new account with a less identifying SN (TK SN used my real name). I introduced myself then and I've been a regular on this BMB and the December BMB since May.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. He's our first and he was a complete surprise! My pregnancy has been extremely uneventful and enjoyable, and we're really excited to meet our LO. I live in Colorado with my husband and two beloved dogs.

ETA: I reintroduced myself with my SN instead of my real name :-/

MissHoppy · October 2012

Hi! Not sure if I've done this before...I only post here and there and mostly lurk.

I live in the Boston area, teach preK, am a FTM, and love to cook. Due 11/18 and can't wait!!

danak4 · October 2012

Hi all! My name is Dana. I've never introduced myself because I discovered this board quite late, like last month... But, you ladies have been extremely helpful and entertaining and I am sorry I didn't know about this sooner!

I'm a FTM, with baby girl due Nov. 25th (I also live in SE Michigan). Still haven't quite fully committed to a name, but I think it's going to be Margaret (nn Maggie).

ZoeMay06 · October 2012

Good idea! I'm Zoe, I live in the CA Bay Area with my DH, 3.5yo DD and soon to be DD#2 who is due in all of 5 days. Hoping for another med-free hospital birth. I'm a long-time knottie/nestie/bumpie, first joined back in 2005ish and have been on this board since the end of my first tri. I'm currently working on my master's in speech-language pathology (about 3/4 done) and hope to work in early intervention after I graduate next year.

AnnP13 · October 2012

Hi All! I'm Ann, and I'm due to give birth to our first child, a little girl, on 11.12.12.

I am working Marketing / Community Relations and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. I've been married to my DH for over two years, and we are thrilled that after 17 months of trying we are welcoming our fabulous little one soon!

ladybugsmum · October 2012

Reintro here:

I had an account with TK as well back in 2008 and lurked here and there for a looooooong time. I eventually got divorced so I decided that when I got pregnant, I would make a new name on TB. But anyways, my name is Amanda and I am 26 years old. I live in Western PA with my SO. We are expecting our first baby on 11/3 and it's a little girl!

Does this mean you are a Steelers fan? I'm a huge Steelers fan, as my family is originally from SW PA

sadsadie · October 2012

I'm Sadie, I've been on this board since some time this summer. Before that i kicked around TK a little (but not much).

This is my first (and only) child and I'm so excited to get this kid out of me. I hate being pregnant with a passion.

I'm known for being pretty blunt and a fierce debater, but don't worry, my bark is worse than my bite. Most of the time I'm like everyone else here...helpful/supportive/sympathetic.

angielayne926 · October 2012

I've been around since my BFP, but here it goes:

I'm Angie. My DH and I are expecting our first after two losses last year. We are team green and SUPER excited to meet this little person shortly. We're due Nov. 19th, but I don't think I'm going to make it there (just my opinion...nothing from the Dr. yet.

techg0ddess · October 2012

Jessie here. Been a regular on the november board since the first tri. Pregnant with my first, a boy. Hubby has two girls, 12 and 17 who spend the weekends with us. We've been married for 2 years.

sara785 · October 2012

I'm Sara and live in Pittsburgh with my DH of 4 years and DS, who is almost 3. I am 27 and DH is 38. DD is expected to be here on 11.29, but I really hope she comes early. I'm an RN and DH is a firefighter, although he also has his nursing license. We can't wait to have our ideal family of 4!

Desmarie13 · October 2012

Im Desiree, 24, stm. I have a DD,Riley, that will be 3 dec 27th. Ill be 25 dec 28th. I am due to have a boy, Wyatt, nov 27th but we think hes going to be early based on me going into preterm labor at 30 weeks. DD was born 10 days before her due date. I have a bichurate uterus, so ive had my share of losses as well as being a high risk pregnancy with DD. I got married sept. 11, 2011 to my best friend. He is not my daughters bio dad but he treats her like she is his own child. Wyatt is DHs first bio child and he is super nervous/excited. I live in upper westchester, ny and am always looking for mommy friends for playdates with and without the kids lol

kieannb · October 2012

Hi All! I mostly lurk around here, even more so now that I am not working anymore, and if DH is working nights (which happens a lot) there isn't much else to do.

My name is Kiley, I'm a FTM. I live in Northern Albera where we are already in full blown winter. I work in pharmacy, which was getting to be too busy with it being flu season, making being at work very uncomfortable and very demanding on the body, which is why I stopped early. Really looking forward to meeting our little girl, and hoping she decides to come just a little bit early so she can stop torturing my insides!

SheilaE · October 2012

I post occasionally, I have been here a while. But I'll play. I'm Sheila. We are team green, and baby is due Nov 15, but because I had one appointment where my BP was high it's been normal ever since, I was a bit stressed that day I may be induced on the 8 or 9. Not sure how I feel about that, kind of hoping baby comes on its own before that if that is the case. That's about it. Can't wait to meet our little one though!

LittleBug1107 · October 2012

I'm Nicole.. I've been on the knot since 2006 and the bump since I had my first baby in 2007.. now I'm just a few days away from delivering my 3rd (have 2 girls, this one is a boy). I rarely post new topics but try to respond to threads whenever I feel like I can be helpful... I just never bothered with an intro!

Benav · October 2012

I'm Christina... FTM due November 4th, this Sunday. I am 24 years old and very excited to meet our baby boy very soon. I have enjoyed reading the posts in the November Board, and it is exciting to see so many go into labour already!

Good luck to everyone!

Merekatt · October 2012

I did an introduction way back in my first trimester but since I have rarely if ever posting for quite awhile I should probably reintroduce myself.

My DH and I have been married for about 4 1/2 years and we have an almost 3 1/2 year old son. We are expecting our second son sometime around the middle of November. I'm an assistant prosecutor in a small town in North Dakota with a civil practice on the side, mostly uncontested family law but occasionally estate planning and some real estate. DH works for his family's crop insurance agency and gets to come home early a lot just because his dad decides to close early or doesn't have anything else for my H to do. I am insanely jealous of this.

tasiaceleste · October 2012

I'm Tasia. I'm 37.5 weeks along with our first, The Bean, aka Evangeline Aoifia. We're planning a natural, unmedicated home-birth. I own a private personal training business and my last day of work is tomorrow! Whee!

m i l l y · October 2012

I'm 29 and DH is 30. This is our first and we're having a little boy due Nov 10th. My DH is actually active duty military and since we moved here mid pregnancy, I didn't get another job (Human Services/Case Management) as I plan to stay home for at least the first year. We were in Germany (miss my European health care) and now we're stationed in MD near Baltimore/DC.

FigureSkater8 · October 2012

Intro: I'm a FTM, 34 (DH is 35), live in the DC area and am due 11/24 - a boy. DH and I have been married 9 years. For various reasons we waited a while to get pregnant and now I feel the clock ticking. It sounds crazy, but I'm already thinking about how soon we can have another (since I don't want to get to far beyond age 35 just in case). (Ideally would like 2-3 kids). Of course as a FTM I have no idea what to expect and this could all change...depending on how this experience goes! I also work full-time with not a lot of flexibility so that's another challenge.

I lurked for a while before posting- much appreciate everything I've learned from this group- it's the best place to go when you're feeling excited/crazy/nervous/sad about pregnancy for whatever reason and don't want to burden DH one more time...

KMC0807 · October 2012

Guilty of lurking but I occasionally post.

I'm Kelly, FTM expecting a boy on Nov 24th. My semihigh school sweetheart and I have been married for 5 years. I started checking out TB when we were TTC but it was getting to difficult so I stopped till 3 months after BFP.

I am also guilty of not participating in HDBD, gif's or siggys. I am horrible when it comes to that type of technology.

Excited to hear birth stories/see baby pics. Congrats to all the new momma's and good luck to all the soon to be momma's.

CurlyQ284 · October 2012

Hello, I'm an occasional poster. I am 28, DH is 34. We live in a DC suburb. This is my first but I have two stepdaughters, 10 and 11. I'm about 36.5 weeks along, due November 24. We are having a boy.

vnstacie · October 2012

I don't know if I ever introduced myself or just started posting!

I am a SAHM with a 13month old living on the CO/WY stateline!

btudorica197 · October 2012

I'm pretty sure I introduced myself back in March (my brain is a tad foggy), but this is a good idea! I'm Brittany, I have been on the TB since end of March (heard about it on TK- joined that 2011). I just graduated college back in May with my Bachelor's in Psychology and am going to graduate school to obtain a PhD. in Clinical Psychology. DH is working and going to school to become a cardiologist. I am a FTM & due Nov. 28 with a baby girl- Isabella Sophia. I post whenever I find time to sit & check out the posts...so, hello!

arybak13 · October 2012

Reintroduction: Ann - 31 years old. Live in NYC, works in Finance. Awesome French Bulldog named Rooney. Team Green. Ready for baby to make entrance into world...

wawa84 · October 2012

Hello! I am Laura. I am 28yo and pregnant with my second. DS is 3yo. This LO is a baby girl. I am due on the 16th.

My son is from my previous marriage. This baby is with my bf. He is a police officer and I am a preschool teacher. I have a degree from OU in middle childhood education, but due to the way Ohio does things and the economy, finding a job in my area has proven difficult.

Please excuse any spelling or punctuation errors as I am bumping from my phone and there always seems to be issues with the symbols showing up and my phone autocorrecting things without me noticing. :

kissmii · October 2012

i'm krystle. 38 weeks today! yay! but i might have to be induced.. not sure yet. this is my first baby (: team pink! my boyfriend is at a different country right now but we're still together. i'm from CA. i study veterinary medicine, but i had to stop for a while for this pregnancy. there's been alot of drama with my family regarding this pregnancy but i'm good now and suuuuuuuuper excited! (:

jailrn2000 · October 2012

Great idea! I've been feeling more and more guilty of being such a lurker, but loving everything I read on here.

I'm Jill, 34 years old, FTM due Nov 8. Proud member of Team Green. Was put on couch potato rest 3 months ago after lots of contractions and positive FFN test. Rest has been lifted now that I'm so close to my due date, and I'm now having fewer contractions than I've had in months! So happy this little baby is still cooking. Feeling a great sense of peace and calm...ready and waiting.

PsuMom · October 2012

Miranda here. 36.2 weeks and ftm in Delaware, married for 7 years and really excited to meet our baby girl.

I am a total lurker and really regret that I have not actively participated. But, I love this board and have really benefitted from the discussions; sometimes from the info, sometimes just from the laughs!!

Kadie331 · October 2012

My name is Kadie. I have a DS that is 2 and I'm expecting boy/girl twins that will be here on Friday!!!

I post every now and then on this board but mostly on my DS's BMB, Aug 2010.

joliebebe · October 2012

Hi.

Reintroduction here we go! I will try to make it awesome. My name's Kayla, but everyone just calls me jolie (which is cool by me since it means pretty in French.. haha, y'all have been calling me pretty this whole time, tricked you). I'm 25 and I live in Louisiana. I still consider myself a single mother, but me and BD are "working on it". I quit my job - due to sketchy conditions - after I found out I was pregnant, and I intend to go back to school for sonography after my pregnancy. BD/BF is 30, a dentist, and Burmese; I find the later fact cool because my LO will be a first generation American on one side! Not cool? Fine. Moving on. I'm due at the end of November, which sucks because I get to watch everyone else have their babies while I have to sit and wait. Boo. I like GIFs, I like logical statements, and I like long walks on the beach after being fed bon bons.. *hint hint*..

zockrockwife · October 2012

I'm Amber. I'm currently in my 4th semester of grad school to receive my masters of science in risk management and insurance. Our EDD is Thursday, and just had an appointment today in which we scheduled an induction for next Wednesday (starting cervical on Tuesday). I'm hoping that our baby boy decides to make his appearance before then. I'm a FTM, and I do a lot of my bumping from work and very rarely from home. I was pretty good with posting hdbd pictures but have since cut down on our technology, so I have a standard phone now and not much access to cameras.

StaceySMC13 · October 2012

I'm reintroducing too...

Name's Stacey, I'm 38, 1st (and only) baby and I used donor sperm to get pregnant - didn't want to wait any longer since I'm already advanced maternal age. Due on 11/28 but I have Gestational Diabetes and will be induced at 39 weeks.

Laura_Elaine · October 2012

I don't know that I ever introduced myself to begin with.

I'm preparing to have my 3rd child in 3 years... been married a little over 3 years too. What an exciting time it has been!

I'm a stay at home mom, my husband is a carpenter, and we live in Toledo, Ohio. My family is from here, and he came to Toledo to go to the University of Toledo from East Liverpool, Ohio... a 4 hour drive away. We met at our church on Easter in 2008, and were married in August 2009.

I have a 2.5 year old son, Ethan, who was born the day after Easter in 2010. I also have a 1 year old daughter, Naomi, who was born the Saturday of Labor Day weekend in 2011 and in about 4 weeks I'm looking forward to meeting my next daughter, Olivia. I guess my babies birthdays gravitate toward holidays! Both Ethan and Naomi were born the day after their respective due dates... hours after, actually... so I'm expecting to go the full 40 weeks.

I don't post much as I don't have internet at home, other than on my phone, but I read almost daily, and have enjoyed sharing these past few months with you gals.

Jenner37 · October 2012

I am one of the newbies, I have been following the nov board since the end of July and have only been posting recently mainly because I couldn't figure out how to post and now I post when I feel I can contribute to the thread.

My name is Jenna I live in Colorado and I'm due 11/26 with a girl and we are super excited to extend our family beyond our two puggles.

I feel like you ladies have wonderful insight and it's been helpful to hear what you have to say throughout this journey!

Jadealexandra2012 · October 2012

Hi! i have introduced myself before, but only posted once of twice. Im a FTM, due Nov 11 with a girl. I live in LA and started my maternity leave last week. My pregnancy has been riddled with anxiety, bleeding at 24 and 26 weeks, so I am so thankful I am full term with a healthy baby at this point. I look forward to sharing all our stories!
