Where are you from? Just outside of Portland, Oregon.
What do you do for a living? I work for a bank, exciting stuff.
How did you and SO meet? How long have you been together? I actually dated his friend a few times, and it didn't end up working out. So he swooped in and never let me go! That was over 6 years ago. We've been married just over a year now.
First baby? Due date? First baby, August 2nd!
Symptoms so far? Digestion issues, fatigue, wicked sore veiny breasts, enemies with my tooth brush (sensitive gag reflex), increased urination, increased hunger.
Biggest craving? Protein, beef! Weird, but somehow I've managed to avoid morning sickness...?!Normally I don't buy any kind of beef.
What are you thinking, boy or girl? For years now I've had dreams of the same light skinned blonde baby boy in different stages of life. My friends have also had dreams of my boy. All i want is happy and healthy, but it still may come as a shock to me if its a girl after all.
What do you do for a living? Hospital phlebotomist and dance teacher
How did you and SO meet? How long have you been together? We met in 7th grade when his parents moved to NC. Started dating our sophomore year of high school and we've been together ever since, so 10 years total and married for 3 1/2 of them!
First baby? Due date? We're hoping this is our first take-home baby. We experienced a m/c previously at 5 weeks. Our estimated due date is August 12th.
Symptoms so far? Minimal nausea, peeing all the time, cramping, and fatigue (some of which could be caused by working two jobs and being in school!)

Where are you from?
Born in St. Louis. Moved to Alabama when I was 14. Moved to South Florida in 2006 for my first job out of college.

I was a Certified Child Life Specialist working in a hospital. When that job didn't work out, I started working as a teller and moved up to a service manager. I am now a SAHM.
How did you and SO meet? How long have you been together?
We met at a place called Peanut Island. A bunch of us used to go out on a boat to spend all Sunday on the island. He was in the group the first time I went after moving to FL. We became friends and then started dating a few months later. Been inseparable ever since.
We've been together for six years and married for 3!
First baby? Due date?
This is our second baby. We have an almost 18 month old DS now. I am due August 15th, but more than likely the baby will be out sooner because of a RCS.
Symptoms so far?
Just really tired and some MS. Didn't have the MS with DS so it sucks!
Biggest craving?
Peaches and peach flavored things. Sweet stuff.
What are you thinking, boy or girl?
