Everyone come in. Everyone.

Re: Everyone come in. Everyone.
Hi my name is Christina and I'm 31. I work as an executive assistant in Investment Banking. DH is 38 in a couple of weeks and owns and laudromat and we live in Los Angeles. Currently our family is comprised of 2 cats, 2 dogs and a 17 month old baby boy. My DS is awesome and I had no experience with children before him. Now that I half way know what I'm doing I am hoping I can enjoy a newborn vs. stressing out about everything! My due date is 2/11/14 (DS was 2 weeks late so I take EDD very lightly).
You can find me listening to Teagan & Sara, The Cults, Alejandro Saenz, Bon Iver, Band of Horses when I'm driving my prius haha. We don't watch a ton of tv but our shows are: Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Homeland, True Blood (that's just mine), Justified, and Keeping up with the Kardasians (that's mine too).
I love to cook. My DH has type I diabetes so I'm always coming up with recipes that are low in carbs for him. I love to drink but take pregnancy as a year long cleanse haha. Fun Fact: I go to the same OB office as the Kardasian girls so I see them randomnly (they look exactly like they do on tv in real life). I talk regularly to girls from the Feb 2012 Bump board since that was the first board I was ever on. Oh and I cloth diaper and love it so much I started teaching people about it in LA and have an online store (see sig).

I'm an Office Manager at a small town insurance office, DH is a welder.
I love cooking and being at home with my family...I also love spontaneous trips
We love football (GOOO Falcons) and (true rednecks) NASCAR 
I am praying for a healthy pregnancy...I was preeclamptic with DD and developed Bell's Palsy during the last few weeks of being pregnant with DD.
I love the idea behind this thread but I AM NOT READING 9 PAGES OF RESPONSES>.....
That said, I am Neener*Neener*. *waves hello* I live in Southern Indiana and have a 3.5 year old son. I have lost 5 babies over the past 5 years. DH is a mechanical engineer and I am a teacher. We have two crazy dogs and love to spend time outside.
I sm 46 years old and got pregnant naturally while on the nuvaring .... have 5 children DD 23/ 19/18/14 and DS 6 yearly old. It is is my 7th pregnancy. Unlike most of you I'm single and this baby was totally unplanned but most welcomed. SDEBF ( sperm doner ex boyfriend ) is a jerk... Making my life tough right now. But I'm really working hard on just loving my unexpected pregnancy... My last one was a mc so I blessed with one more chance to have a baby.

I'm Erin, from MI and this will be my and DH's first! We married four months ago and whether its a family curse or blessing, I, as with every other woman in my family, ended up pregnant within the first month. DH is a tech guy for our local EMS/fire/police station, and I was a machine operator for a steel forge before the pregnancy. For obvious reasons, my doc suggested that I take a hiatus from that environment during the pregnancy and WOW is it hard being home all of the time!
We have two fur babies, a daschund named Beaker and a puggle named Honey Badger. DH chose that name, so needless to say I'm hesitant to allow him to choose our child's name.
I absolutely love biking, waterskiing, tubing, and beer so this summer has been the ultimate test of my resolve to watch for baby's health. LOL. not that I would even think twice, but I do miss those activities.
We're moving within the next two months, I'm headed to a bridal shower this weekend for my brother's October wedding, and then baby comes in Feb! Lots going on, and I'm just praying that I anticipated enough weight gain to fit into my bridesmaids dress.
This whole forum has been such a lifesaver for me, so thankful for the support and info I get from all of you ladies!

My name is Steph, I'm 25 and DH is 24. We're newlyweds but have been together for a long time....we didn't expect to get pregnant so soon and barely started trying! This is actually a stereotypical honeymoon baby, but we're quite excited!!
We're from Canada - it's a little sad not seeing more people close to me, but luckily the Internet is fantastic at making us seem closer than we are and love it on here.
I manage a pet store currently, we sell mostly pet supplies (no pets) but do adoptions through rescues and the humane society here. I have 2 cats of my own (Oreo and Lola) and two bunnies (Kahlua and Flash). Love my furbabies to pieces!
I'm heading on 12 weeks this Sunday! (Guesstimating off LMP) we'll have a more precise age next Thursday after our first ultrasound - I can't wait! My family keeps teasing me I'm having twins or triplets (only because I am a twin and my twins' wife also had twins and they love the irony)....I'm thinking its only one and I'm okay with that!
I live in RI with my husband and 2 cats. In a speech pathologist at a local Hospital. I'm from CT originally. We love to travel and see culture, and I'm a little bit of a food nut. This is our first pregnancy and we're super excited but I'm still honestly in disbelief at almost 12 weeks! I'm bad about checking the blog every day but love the opportunity for community and support.
No clue how to add fun gifs, etc as a mobile user.
I'll give more details once we've shared our news with more friends and family. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
My name is Lauren, I am 30, and pregnant with baby #2. My first son just turned 2 in May. I live in St. Louis, MO and have been enjoying my summer off (I work as a teacher). I cannot believe that school starts again in 3 weeks! My husband and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary in August. We wanted to go on a big trip to celebrate, but hoped that we would be pregnant so we never planned anything. I think we might celebrate our 6th instead. I've been feeling pretty good with this pregnancy so far. I haven't been sick (and I wasn't with my son either), but have had zero energy. I was just diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypothyroidism so I'm blaming that. Super frustrating to have to deal with this but just praying for the best. Hoping for a good dr. appt. in a few weeks and then we will spread the news to more friends and family. Have a nice night, ladies!

Intro: Due date 2/13/14
My name is Tanya. My husband and I are both 27 but will be 28 when baby arrives. My husband and I work at the same hospital. I am a Psychiatric Case Manager and he is a Human Resources Coordinator. This is my first pregnancy and we are both very excited. We conceived the first month of trying. We live in the suburbs outside of NYC (Westchester County). We went to high school together but didn't end up dating until college. We bought a house about 2 years ago in our home town and have been married for a little over a year. We have a 1.5 year old Lab Mix named Callie who we rescued when she was 8 weeks old. I am 11W2D and have my NT scan on Monday. So far only immediate family and a couple close friends know. After the NT scan we are going to go public. It is nice to meet you all
I'm Allison, and I live in Western Canada and work as an administrator at a university. My husband is a lawyer. I'm 34 and my husband is 33. We have an almost five year old DD, and have been TTC for four years! I did have one miscarriage early on a few years ago. My ticket to success was a combination of Metformin and Weight Watchers, and a lovely weekend at a resort.
We are due February 5, and just told everybody. Nice to meet you all! Let's do this.
I had a great board experience in the knot and still am really good friends with ladies I met there but locally and around the US.
I love that I can bump on my phone since my work blocked message boards shortly after my wedding (hmm wonder if I had anything to do w that).
Nice to meet you all!
Mom to Lily and Colin!
Hey! I'm Allison. I'll admit I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I'm trying to branch out! Sometimes I seem to join in a little late because I don't frequent the internet on a daily basis(as crazy as that may sound!) I also suck at everything computer related, but I have found the bump to be so helpful. Especially after my loss in February of this year (natural miscarriage at 11 weeks).
Anyways about me, I'm 23 and currently have a 2 yr old DD and a pretty awesome DH. We have been together for 5 years and in September officially married for 2. I'm a preschool teacher. Pretty much finished high school, went straight to college, then straight into the workforce. One year into the workforce, started my family. It's been a bit of a whirlwind. During my mat leave with DD (I'm Canadian, so I took the full year), we got married, sold our house, bought a new house in a new town and repainted the whole place. You could say I like to move fast. DH actually stays home with DD 3 days a week and she goes to daycare 2 days. DH works on a seasonal, occasional basis. Basically he works a few months of the year doing hard manual labour at a solar farm, and makes as much as I do in a year. Right now he's on an "off" period. It works well for us, despite what my mother may think! haha. We're excited to be expecting again and I think it's just starting to sink in because I just passed my loss milestone, had a great NT ultrasound and will be in my 2nd trimester in about, 2 hours or so! woohoo!
I have been vegetarian for 14 yrs and mostly vegan for the past few years--though I always fall off the wagon a bit during pregnancy craving ice cream and cheese lol! I love to cook and bake, spend time outdoors, travel, and take photographs!
I am now 10 wks 4 days pg with #2 and we are all thrilled! EDD is 2/20.
I just want to say how much I appreciate Library/Media Specialists! I love collaborating and coming up with engaging projects. Just wanted to give you some props for having such a difficult but important job.
Aw thanks! Wish I could work with you girl!I'm Michele this will be baby #2 for us but 3rd pregnancy. I had one loss 5 years ago after an IVF and have 20 mo DS who was a surprise. This LO was an FET and I'm still super paranoid but starting to get more excited!
I live in upstate NY and work as a PA, DH is in payroll but I'm hoping to convince him to move sometime in the not so distant future. I'm jealous of all the GA ladies.
I love to cook/bake and craft but with a 20 mo old that doesn't happen too often. He can't hold still for more than 2 seconds and he's a total dare devil
At first we were nervous to announce this pregnancy because we are both young and haven't been married for quite a year yet. I will be 20 in 2 weeks and my husband is 23. However, our family has been super supportive.
We live in a small town in Southwest Michigan that not many people have heard of, but that's okay. I am a worship leader at Road to Life church and my husband is a manager at our ONLY Panera.
I get super nervous from time to time about everything being okay with this baby, but then I get nausea and I am reminded that our little baby is still fine
I love word games and playing music. We have a cat named Bash and I'm curious to see how he does with the baby.
I'd love to connect with some other moms
Fun fact? We're obsessed with American tv shows and love to travel. DS has been to 3 continents and flown overseas 12 times!
I missed this! so im replying now!!
I'm Kelli, Im 27 my DH is 26. We have a DS who just turned 2 in june. He keeps us on our toes!! We have a fur baby who is turning 4, my little princess and our DS bff! They are too cute together! Our EDD with our precious baby #2 is 2/16! We havent really spilled the beans to alot of people, we are sorta keeping the secret to ourselfs until we have to tell!! Im actually looking forward to being pregnant in the fall/winter!
Fun Fact.. our 3 year anniversary is at the end of Jan. so this baby is our gift.. or at least thats what ive told DH!
BFP May 2011 - MMC July 2011 / BFP MAY 2013 - Due Feb 1st!! / Married Aug 24, 2013 /ME & DH both 30
This is awesome--loving getting to know everyone a little better.
My name is Amber, and I'm 29 years old (DH is 27), and we live in the Indianapolis area, though I grew up in Texas. DH is an attorney, and I work at a Christian radio station as the office administrator/volunteer coordinator/event planner--and love my job.
Let's see...we've been married for just over a year, and this is our third pregnancy (first was a mmc, second ectopic). I'm 11 weeks today, and it looks like this may be our "sticky baby" (yay!).
What else? Um...hobbies would include baking (and cake decorating; I used to do that as a side job), being outdoors, reading (classic fiction, history, and theology, mostly...and children's books from time to time; I still adore some of my old favorites like "The Secret Garden" or the Little House series), and bicycling with DH. Oh, and trying umpteen dozen ideas off of Pinterest. I love anything DIY/crafty (money-saving!) and am a big couponer and thrift shopper, too.
Other interests/loves, in no particular order: peanut butter M&Ms, autumn in Indiana, my gray sweat shorts (DH abhors them), my family, documentaries (I'm a nerd), and classic poetry.
Now, back to reading through everyone else's posts...
Hey y'all! I'm Jennifer, I'm 26, and so is DH. We are both from Georgia. We currently live in Athens, GA, but we are moving again soon to Charleston, SC. DH is in his last year of Optometry school, so we are traveling a lot for his rotations, which isn't always fun. I graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education and am certified to teach in Georgia grades K-5. However, I stay at home with our 20 month, DD, which I love!
I'm Carley, 32, live in Seattle with my awesome hub who will be 39 next month. Have two step-sons, though this will be our first bio-bebe. I'm hoping to have a water birth either at home or a birth center, but my midwife also delivers at the bestest birthing hospital in the city so either way I'm covered. I had my first ultrasound on Friday and it was AMAZING - 160 bpm, and the little jumping bean started doing a dance for us. Hehe! Was just a bit too small for the NT scan so that's happening on Fri, 8/9.
I'm a 1:1 school nurse in a medically fragile classroom, and while the kids are absolutely amazing, it does make me paranoid. Am I a bad person to be hoping for a fully healthy baby? The school gig also means I have the summer off, which is wonderful for this 1st trimester exhaustion and nausea.
Hub and I are both cyclists and occasional runners. I find that if I don't make it to the gym on a given day, I feel like absolute crap. Guess where I'm headed after typing this? (; Love the outdoors, and are both gamer geeks, die-hard Whedon fans, and vegetarians. Usually love wine and tasty microbrews, but thankfully am not missing them at all because the smell makes me gag.
I'm due Feb 19th. We've told some family and friends, but are waiting to tell our parents and the kiddos until after my 1st trimester is over. Two more weeks! Whee! Take care, all, and it's nice to meet everyone.
