S/O re-introductions..lets all do one!

ceamac0127 · September 2013

I'm not sure if this has been done recently and I apologize if it has!

I am 26 and H is 30, we just had our first DD 3/28 (4/8 due date). We dated for 3 years and have been married for 1.5 years. We live in Kansas City, I work in admissions at a proprietary health care college and H is a freight broker. We have one australian shepard furbaby that we have had for 3 years. He isn't totally in love with LO yet but he is getting there, he is having a hard time giving up the #1 spot.

We love to travel; it's our passion. My H lived in Ireland for a while, we have been all over Europe, we lived in St Thomas in the Virgin Islands, we got married in Mexico, honeymooned in Australia and have a trip scheduled to go back in Feb 14! Besides traveling we are both huge foodies and love exploring new restaurants and types of food. That has all been put on hold the last few months but we are starting to get back into it

Can't wait to get to know everyone again!

MKC12/22/2006 · September 2013

I am 31 and DH is 32; we had DS Leif on 3/28/13 by emergency c-section. It is amazing to watch him grow every day! We used to live in the Twin Cities, but we moved to rural MN three years ago.

I am a high school English teacher. I also sell Norwex, and I write a blog. In the spare time I used to have, I liked to read, watch TV and movies, etc. Now I am lucky to get a little cleaning done when the boys leave the house.

Oh, and we have a 6-year-old Brittany (dog) that is pretty patient with Leif pinching her all the time.

zipscheer07 · September 2013

Hello ladies- I am 27 and DH just turned 30. We have a DD Anya who was born on 4/18. We had a C-section due to her not ready but my water broke. We live in Ohio and we are both teachers. I am a Intervention Specialist for middle school and he works with high school students in a behavioral school. My DH has 2 other daughter who are 7 and 5. We have 2 dogs, Chloe who is a Chihuahua and Pomeranian and Bella who is Yorkie and Poodle. We have been together for 3 years and married 1.5 as of yesterday (3.17.12). We are planning on trying in the next few months as we want LO to have a sibling close in age.

JordynLeighx3 · September 2013

Hi! I don't think I ever gave a formal introduction! I started bumping back when I got married on The knot and shortly after joined The Bump!

We were due April 3 and had our twin girls via c section on March 5 when my water broke.

I am 22 and DH is 24. We have been married 1 year and have been together 8. I Asst. Manage a retail store and DH is a Journeyman in HVAC. We just completely renovated a house in Iowa where we are living currently. We love corn

We have two miniature dachshunds, Lucy and Oscar whom I love most days. They've been our babies until we had our babies.

In my spare time I teach dance at a studio, and have danced since I was 9.
H loves to hunt, bowl, game and baby wear haha
Together we love to travel, explore new things, and spend time at his parents' cabin on the Mississippi River.

We plan to add to our family once the girls start preschool!

camdensmom32 · September 2013

I am 31 and SO is 27. We had DS by emergency c-section on March 29th (due date was April 1st). SO and I have been together for 4 years. We also have a fur baby named Bizzy. She is a Weimaraner and will be 2 next month. We live in a very small town in South Dakota where we don't know really anyone. We relocated when SO took a new job. SO is an Agronomist and I am a SAHM. We plan to add to our family soon! We want DS to have a brother or sister close to his age.

kelsea1031 · September 2013

I was a pretty regular poster during pregnancy but life and having 2u2 has kept me busy! I've been posting here and there when I have time now.

I will be 27 next month, DH is 33, and we have two awesome little girls. T is 21 months and was born in Dec. 2011 via planned c/s as she was breech. E was born April 13th via med-free VBAC after a very complicated and eventful pregnancy that included 25 weeks of bed rest.

We live in the Twin Cities area but I am a native Hoosier. I am a SAHM and DH is a college football coach. This time of year is nuts for us! Lots of long days and nights! Prior to becoming a SAHM, I worked in college athletics as well and still do some freelancing when I have time.

We love to travel, explore our surrounding areas, day trips with the girls, trying new restaurants, and going to sporting events. The girls keep us busy and having them so close in age can be trying at times, but I wouldn't change a thing!

Gracious1014 · September 2013

I don't know that I've ever done a formal introduction either.

I am 28, DH is 29. We met in 5th grade when he moved in next door. We were friends all through high school and didn't start dating until we went away to different colleges. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder. We dated through college and moved in together after we graduated. Got married in 2010 and had our first LO April 9, 2013. We live in a small town in West Michigan right on Lake Michigan.

DH is an engineer and I work for a local hospital in patient registration. We're fortunate enough to live nearby both sets of grandparents, so they watch LO for us while we are at work. We also have two dogs - a lab/pit bull mix named Rolex and a pit bull/boxer mix named Maddie. I also have a horse that I've owned for 12 years now named Tot, but cannot ride her anymore due to an old injury.

In my spare time (ha!) I ride horses, read, and cook. DH and I also like to go camping and dirt bike together. DH is currently going back to school for his MBA so that eats up a lot of his spare time and there are definitely times when I feel more like a single mom than not, but DH is a GREAT dad when he is able to spend time with LO.

Can't wait to learn more about other Bump-ers!

Erin10408 · September 2013

I am 31 and DH is 35. Our daughter Claire was due April 30th,but was cozy and didn't arrive until May 7th via induction and vaginal birth. She is our first child and the love of our life.

I'm a financial assistance specialist for a county in the Twin Cities, and my husband manages a large flooring store. We love to camp, fish and do anything outdoors.No pets for us. We will probably start trying for another child fairly soon:)

I uploaded a picture of Claire to tiny pic to post...can someone tell me which code I use and how I put the image in my post? Thanks.

smiles21866 · September 2013

I'm 27 years old and my SO/Fiancé is 34 years old. We had our DS on April 26th after laboring for 24 hours and turning into a emergency C-section. He is our first child and we would like to have one more!

I am a SAHM and my SO is a foot and ankle surgeon. He works long, crazy hours so it's mostly just DS and I. I'm considering going back to work 12-15 hours per week and I also work in the medical field.

I used to scuba dive a lot. Now we head to the beach, swim, visit live bands, and explore new restaurants! Hopefully we will get into traveling once our Kids are grown a bit

smiles21866 · September 2013

@JordynLeighx3 do you mind me asking what part of Iowa? I grew up/lived in IL for 23 years before moving to FL and we lived right on the Mississippi River!

Lhyacinth888 · September 2013

I am 32 and DH is 36. We have been married 5 years. I have a DS who was born on his due date of 1-1-11. My DD was a day late, born 4-13-13. I had both vaginally and went into labor spontaneously. I'm pretty sure we are done with kids although if we won the lottery we would probably have a few more. I became a SAHM when my DS was 6 months old. I will be returning back to work when the kids enter school. I used to work in Medical Billing. My DH is a retail manager who puts in long exhausting hours. We met at work, DH was my boss after I finished college. I enjoy photography and scrapbooking. My DH is a great chef so we are foodies and love wine. We also love movies. We like to travel but haven't done a lot so far just Fiji and the Bahamas and other places within the states. We vow to do more once life calms down a little. We have an extremely hyper and high maintenance 5 year old Boston Terrier who was our original baby. We moved when DD was 2 1/2 mths old and are still unpacking. DH and I are incredibly laid back people and don't take anything too seriously. I definitely feel like I am living my dream life although some days I do want to rip my hair out and scream from the roof tops. :-)

smash1228 · September 2013

Im 27 and DH is 28. We live in sunny hot Florida and have been together for 4 years. We went to high school together but didn't start dating until after college. We got married Nov 2011 and had our first LO on April 26th. She was due May10th but decided to come a little early. After laboring for close 40 hours and pushing for 5 she was delivered via csection bc she was sunny side up and not budging.

I am a SAHM but I have a Masters degree in Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture. We have one fur baby, a yorkie/poodle, and she is not taking to having an intruder in her home. Hopefully over time she will do better. I am a huge college football fan(Go Gators!) and love spending time on the water and traveling.

tondraluv · September 2013

My DS Brayden was born March 24th (due date was April 15th & I was on TB my whole pregnancy that's why i'm on the April board). DH & I are both 28 & live in So.Cal (I am originally from Ohio). We met in high school, although we didn't start dating until 1st year in college, and have been together 9 years. I am a Client Care Advocate/Acct Mgr at a Health Benefits firm & DH is a District Trainer/Mgr. for a popular Electronics Retailer.

In my spare time (which is non exsistent now) I love to shop, read, & dance. Just like @jordynLeighx3 I used to teach ballet & hip hop part time. My family also own a couple of apartment properties so every so often I help with the matinence of these. As a family, we love to go to museums (my city has a TON of them) & catch the Metro to local cities to eat (we're big foodies). DH & I had a rough patch during my pregnancy but have been going to counceling & things have gotten way better. We plan on adding to our family next year.

Also I have a crazy coworker that I refer to as "Pissy hands" who I often have a weekly story about because she's CRAZY!!!!!!!!

capstone52501 · September 2013

I am 41 and my husband is 35, we met on a blind date ( one of my friends and one of his friends wife worked at the same place and they got to talking). That was 14 years ago and we have been together ever since.   I have a 23 year old son that I had in highschool.   We have an 11 year old DD and our DS was supposed to be born May 12 but I had Cholestasis so he had to show up April 20. He is a very healthy little boy now and the love of our life. His big sister thinks he is pretty wonderful as well and she has been a wonderful help.
My husband works at a plant building landfill compactors, he also is head of security at our church and I am a SAHM, not only am I blessed to be able to be with my kids 24/7 but I also homeschool our daughter.
In my * ha ha* spare time I USED to train and show horses, but that has been put on hold for a couple years.   We have 4 Arabians and 2 American Shetland ponies. We also have 3 Chinese crested dogs, a chocolate lab and a jack Russell and 6 cats (outdoor). Our daughter just bought her very own pet, an Asian painted frog (AKA chubby frog) her name is Godzilla
We live on a 60 acre farm and love it.
My husband loves being a dad , he also loves to hunt and fish.   His #1 thing to do is teach our kids to be like him which is being a master of sarcasm.
My husband would like one more but I am not sure at this point if I want to push my luck so to speak.
Forgot to add we live in Ottumwa, Iowa

CoachTay · September 2013

Hi! I'm Tasia (pronounced like "Asia" with a T) . I'm 27 and my hubs is 30. We've been together for 7 years, married for almost 3. We live in a suburb of the Twin Cities. I work part time in an EBD program of a Metro school district as well as coach sideline & competitive cheerleading. My husband works in his family's fireworks business full time & part time at a retail store.

We welcomed our first baby girl on April 12th. We also have 2 fur babies ~ Turbo, who is 8, and Roxanne (Roxy), who is 6 ~ both tabby cats whom we love dearly. We hope to have one more child & plan to start trying next spring!

I'm OBSESSED with Lucille Ball, and would have named our daughter after her if H would've let me. If we have another girl, her middle name WILL be Lucille! I enjoy scrapbooking and anything crafty. I also have a nephew, who is 4 months older than B, that I absolutely CANNOT get enough of! We love spending time with family

lilbit0910 · September 2013

Hi ! My name is Massi. I just turned 28 (sept 10). My SO is 36 and we have been together for 6 years. We never talked about having kids before Rylee Zo whom was a total surprise. Now she is the joy of our lives! She was born on April 12th at 10:21 am after 30 hours of labor (ouch).

We live in NYC. I work in the hospitality industry. Hotel Sales management. SO works for a utility company. I would love to have a second baby soon. I am a reality TV addict ( please dont judge me) .

Before Rylee i enjoyed doing bikram yoga and would love to start it up again. I just dont seem to have enough time in my days. I love traveling to the Caribbean (Dominican Republic) especially since that is where my roots are. I love the beach, the sun and hot weather. If it was up to me i would move to Florida tomorrow.

zipscheer07 · September 2013

Tasia.. I too am OBSESSED with Lucille

Love watching her shows over and over again. Just got the DVDs of the Lucy Show for my birthday!

fireflyz56 · September 2013

Hey guys! It's great to read everyone's introductions so far. My name's Kimberly and we live in Ontario. DH works in maintenance, and I am a photography studio manager. We have been married 3.5 years. We met online almost 11 years ago, on an online game, and became friends but didn't meet each other IRL for 5 years.

Our daughter, Cortana, was born April 27th with a med-free vaginal delivery. I was so proud of myself! Then it all went downhill from there. After 8 hours of unexplained massive bleeding, which eventually sent me into shock from the loss of blood, I had to have an emergency D&R so they could figure out what was going on. Turns out I am a freak of nature and had a separate hidden placental node growing in there that they had to remove, and then had 4 blood transfusions to replace what was lost. The worst part was not being allowed to shower for over 24 hours after I had DD, since every time I tried to stand up I almost blacked out. Yuck.

We also have 3 cats, and in the spare time I used to have, I enjoyed painting, playing piano, photography and reading. I secretly wish I could be a SAHM although I don't think it will ever happen unless we win the lottery - I never knew I would love being a mom so much!

Omg, I can't believe they let you push for 5 hours! I pushed for 3 with my DS and they threatened me with forceps and I finally pushed him out. Wow on the 5 hours!

Sarahbeth1169 · September 2013

Hello Everyone, I posted a lot before baby but now I don't seem to have any time too. I'm 27 and my husband is also 27. We been together 10 years and married for 1 year. We have a furbaby named Kodiak who is 5. Our son is 21 weeks be was born April 24. Two days before his due date. We were living in MN when we had Mason but recently moved back to our home state MI. I have a Bachelors in Social Work and my husband has his Bachelors in Construction. I'm currently subbing at the school until I find something with my degree. My husband is also trying to find work now that were back but its far and in-between in MI. :-( Life is very hard knowing that you have a little one to support and cant find work. My husband has been pretty upset since moving back because of not having a job. We are currently staying at my parents which is not fun with a baby and a dog. Especially when you are use to having your own place for the last 5 years. I'm praying that we both find good full time jobs ASAP. Or bills are not going to be paid. :-( Sorry for the vent at the end.....

wendalsue · September 2013

I'm not afraid to share that my real name is Wendy. I'm 34, and MH is 31. We've been married for 2 yrs, and together for 6.5 years. I have a 13 yr old daughter, Madison and a 5 mo old LO, Zane. I live in Central Illinois and am a student at University of Illinois Springfield. I have a BA in Psychology and elementary education and am working on a Master's in Teacher Leadership right now. I posted frequently during pregnancy. Most of my posts either dealt with the woes of pregnancy (just like everyone else's), or with my teenager. Some of you may remember that she was hospitalized for depression just a week before my due date in April! She is better now, and I think the birth of LO just had her really anxious. She absolutely adores him now, and I think he has helped her find a new focus. Her father (my ex) is incarcerated also and we deal with visiting him, and the drama of that on a regular basis. Anyway, I don't have many hobbies as I'm overwhelmed with school and family. We have 4 cats, which is about 3 too many to have inside with a baby. I clean nonstop! I started out on the TTGP board when I was TTC with DS. I had one early miscarriage in April 2012, and then got KU with DS in August! This will be my last child. I'm 34, and am ready to finally start a career after being a SAHM (only working part time jobs occasionally) since DD was born.

Gracious1014 · September 2013

@sarahbeth1169 Where in MI are you living? It is definitely tough around here as far as jobs go. DH works in the auto industry and I imagine that construction is not any better.

Thinking good thoughts for you and your family!

bionic4me · September 2013

I recently turned 41 and DH will be 48 next month. We met 6 years ago when a friend suggested that I ask him to help me move as he owns a truck. From there, we became friends and I went to him for relationship advice on guys whom I was interested in. Finally, after 3-1/2 years of being friends, I opened my eyes and saw the amazing guy in front of me and told him that I was interested. We dated for 10 months before becoming engaged and married shortly after that... first marriage and child for both of us.

I was induced on April 3rd, but DD waited until 2:30 a.m. on April 4th to be born. After pushing for 3 hours, we had a c-section and found that she had been posterior facing... that and her larger head kept her from being delivered vaginally. We came home from the hospital on my & DH's 2nd anniversary... best anniversary gift ever

AMJ6511 · September 2013

Hi Everyone!

I'm glad we are doing re-introductions!

I am 27 and will turn 28 next month and H is 29. We have been married since June 2011. I was due with DD on 4/27 and she did not arrive until 5/2! I had a pretty quick birth experience (just about 10 hours from the first cramp of a contraction until she was born) and delivered vaginally with an epidural. I am currently working part time, which is working out perfectly because I love being able to spend almost all of my time with DD!

We also have a furbaby Shih Tzu who is learning to love her human sister. I think she fully doesn't understand what a baby is just yet and is slowly learning.

ClandestineX · September 2013

I was a March person since I had two EDD 22nd or 29th. Connor came here April 3rd after a 4 hour labor.

I am 26, my husband is 35. We have been together for 4 years. Married since 12/21/12 (Doomsday). He is from WV, I am from North Cal. We met on a anime website and he came to visit me and we hit it off and I moved back with him two weeks later. He has worked on a drilling rig for the duration of our relationship and have seen him go from a Worm to a Driller which is amazingly fast since you do not typically become a driller until about 10 years worth of work, he did in 3. I was a student for Penn State studying Nuclear Engineering. I have since switched majors and schools and go to WVU since we bought a house to settle down in. I study Petroleum and Gas Engineering with Nuclear physics minor. I was on my way to join the Marines before I got pregnant. I still want to join so I will probably go to the reserves officer route.

I have a rescued dog that my husband saved from a life in a cage outside, I plan on buying an Irish Wolfhound because I love big dogs. In my free time(Not there is any of that anymore) is to study, draw, play video games, and exercise by lifting heavy things and putting them back down.

I am usually a joking type of person and rarely serious, especially on the internet, I am an open book and I like to see any and everything from both sides of the perspective even if it is about a subject I don't agree with.

Oh and my legal first name is Windy, though I go by my middle name since most girls in my family go by their middle names for some unknown reason. I go by Nikki.

Kate_C · September 2013

I'm Kate (although I don't go by that IRL). I'm 31 as is DH. We've been together 11 years and have our 6th anniversary at the end of the month. I'm an attorney and DH is an industrial engineer. We live in Minneapolis, MN.

Our son Elliott will be 2 in October and baby Helen is almost 5 months (4/26 bday). We also have a mutt of a dog that rips up diapers and eats pacifiers (not a fan). DH and I were on the fence about whether we wanted to have kids. Some days with the toddler, I'm still on the fence.

I like reading mindless novels and baking, but I hate to cook.

tondraluv · September 2013

Oh yea I'm Nat btw

TuckleUp · September 2013

I'm 39 and my husband is 52. We dated long distance for five years before I immigrated from the town I was born in, in Ontario, to Chicago. A condition of my immigration visa was that we had to be married within 90 days of US entry. We booked the venue, sent out the invitations and found out I was pregnant a month later. Talk about a whirlwind! We had a scheduled c-section due to the baby bing breech, but he came a week earlier than expected due to pre-e. He's a lovely baby and we're so thankful to have him. I'm a SAHM currently, and haven't had much opportunity to meet people, so motherhood has felt a bit lonely. They drive me nuts, but I really miss my family and sharing my son with them. I like to read, bake, go to the movies, explore museums/flea markets/new places. I have done none of these things in the past 6 months

sparty11 · September 2013

My name is April and I am 30 and my husband is 31. We have been together 5 years and married for one. I have had many health problems and had cancer and went through treatment. I was told I would never have a child. Low and behold last August we found out I was expecting. The best news ever. That was one month before we were to be married.

pinottoparenthood · September 2013

I am Amanda. I'm 27 and DH is 28. We've been married for a little over 2 years and were together for five years before that. Our little guy Rhys ("Reece") was born on April 17th. We live in NC and love it! I teach high school English and DH is a financial planner/analyst/consultant or something along those lines. I love baking, reading, and spending time with my fam. Rhys just rolled for the first time in Saturday (belly to back only) and is currently working on sitting up!

sparty11 · September 2013

Not sure why but my post was cut off.

Our son Ty Henry was born April 4th, my due date. I was induced. After 8 hours of labor with. 1 1/2 hours of pushing. He is our world. He really is a content good baby. We couldn't imagine life without him.
We live in Michigan. I work in the health field and my husband works for Toyota. We also have a fur baby named Bruiser, a chocolate lab that will be 2 in November. He is the biggest cuddler ever. He loves Ty Henry and wants to lay with him all the time.

Haha well let me know if you ever make it back and we can set our babies up on a date!

superToots · September 2013

I'm new to the board so this thread is awesome! I'm 30, DH is 32. married 3 years and together 5. We live in northern California, but i'm originally from Chicago.

we have two wonderful boys. Cameron is 2.5 years and Casey is 5 months today. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes this pregnancy and it sucked big time.

up until Casey was born I bartended a few nights a week. but it's just too hard now to work nights and be up all day with the boys, so now I'm a SAHM.

oh, and my ticker is broken too

(

For fun I like to quilt, bake, run and watch trashy reality tv.

potty training bootcamp was a success. but we have lost naps as well as diapers. I'd almost rather go back!!

Mommymorticia · September 2013

Hey guys, I'm 25, SO is 28. We have been together almost 7 years. Torrin is our first born on 3/31, exactly two weeks early. We live in NW AR. I have spent most of my adult life working in kitchens, love to cook. Never finished the degree but who knows what the future will bring. SO is a machine operator at a factory but also builds and sells computers and is working on his MBA. He, btw is also an Aries so I know exactly what to expect with this LO. Forever dreaming, working hard, and overachieving. ;-)
I have been to hell and back this last year. Idk where I would be without my son making his appearance when he did.
Oh, I also have a german shep. He's adorable but has no idea how big and dangerous he is!

sapphire021 · September 2013

Hey guys! I am 30 and DH is 34. We have been together 5 years and married for one. We were married on Friday the 13th and it was a lot of fun. Our due date was 4/11, but our little girl decided to meet us on 3/30. I work in accounting for an international hotel chain, and DH is a security supervisor for an outpatient facility. We live in NJ and are nearby to DH's family, but my family lives out of state. We have a gecko and a cat named Chaos, which he lived up to when LO came home! He would vomit if she was near him, and ended up getting crystals and needing emergency surgery one Sunday night when LO was 3 months old (the vet said it was from stress?!) I used to bump more often but that kind of ended that for a little while. But I've been trying to come by a little more now that things have settled down.
