Re: S/O re-introductions..lets all do one!
Ella is our first child she was due 4/6 and was born 4/5.
We will be trying for another LO next month.. oh big wish me luck lol
I joined the bump in 2009 when I was getting married but didn't really "bump". Until half way through my pregnancy!
Madeline (Maddie) is our first - with hopes for 1, maybe 2 siblings for her...
We are from Brooklyn NY. I am an elementary school teacher for special ed kids and teach 4th grade. My husband works from home in the evenings. He is about to become Mr. Mom while I am at work. I am going back on Tuesday from maternity leave and am DREADING it!!!!
Maisie, our first born came on May 1st via c-section. My due date was April 23rd so I was induced. After 30 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing they decided in the C section.
We love to travel and have been all over the world. We honeymooned in Southeast Asia and spent a month in India the summer before I became pregnant. In my old life when I had time I liked to sew and stay out late with friends. In my new life I like to take care of my baby and meet up with friends in the park!
Glad to get to know all of you a lil better
We were together almost five years before getting married and then got pregnant about a year after tying the knot. That ended in a miscarriage and we got pregnant with Beatrix about a year and a half later. I had a home birth on April 5th. It was the most empowering and mind-blowing experience of my life. B was due on the 13th, but based on my cycle (and the fact that my mom was three weeks late with me), I was convinced she was gonna be late and I had all of my arguments prepared as to why I should be able to go two or three weeks past due. Didn't need any of those - instead we were scrambling because nothing was really ready.
We have an ancient rescue dog named Theophilus. He's a Chihuahua mix who was supposed to be put down at the South Central LA shelter the day I got him. He was six pounds and had puncture wounds from being attacked by a bigger dog. His eyes were pus-filled and he had bald patches down his back. When I pet him, his hair came off. He was the dog for me! He's now somewhere around 16 years old (I've had him for eight years) and is 12 pounds of amazingness. He will always be my first baby.
Currently we live in Brooklyn, NY, but after a visit to my mom's a few weeks ago, we've started looking at buying something in Malibu near her. I want B to grow up knowing my mom. My mom and dad had cancer at the same time. My mom made it, my dad didn't. We've also recently lost my husband's mom to cancer and his father passed when he was a toddler, so my mom is B's only grandparent and I really want them to know each other. Westward Ho!
We are in CA.
I mobile bump 99.9% of the time.
I haven't read everyone's posts yet but looking forward to it. It's nice to have such a great group to talk things through with.
I'm 31 and DH is 30. Been married for 1.5 years and together for 11. We live in NY and I work in Manhattan as a nurse in a Children's Hospital. We had our first baby (Noah) on 4/9/13. He was one week and one day late. Arrived via emergency c-sec. Our little guys is truly our pride and joy
Just wanted to let you all know that I've enjoyed reading all of your posts and that your babies are beautiful. It's wonderful to see your little ones grow up. I'll try to be more active and post more often. Btw sorry for the outdated siggy. Been bumping on mobile and have yet to fix/update it from my home computer.
Hi, I'm Emily! I'm 24, so is DH. We've been married for almost 2 years, but have been together since high school. I was Team Green during pregnancy; my water broke on my due date, but our little girl wasn't born until the next day, April 3rd (it was a LONG and kind of scary birth story). She's our first and only--for now!
We live in Anaheim, CA; we've been here for almost five months and are finally starting to feel at home (of course, being within walking distance from the Happiest Place on Earth helps!). DH works for the government; I'm a SAHM. My interests are really, really nerdy, and the only outside-the-home hobby I've got going on is singing in my church choir.
P.S. @tondraluv I'm in Orange County, so geographically, we're pretty close to each other (though traffic would dictate that we're maybe an hour or two apart)!
Loo we can go to Pirates Diner adventure lol!
Our DD Adilynn was born 3/31 (due 4/5). I said my whole pregnancy that I was going tohave her on Easter and I did! Lol
I didn't post during pregnancy, I started after I had her.
Before being a SAHM I worked for a professional sports team as an event planner. I left that job to get my MS in early childhood education. H is a real estate developer who builds new construction and builds green homes when he can.
We have a dog named Kate.
We live in western NY. I teach at a school that is so close to my house that I can come home and feed LO at lunch time. DH stays home with Sam which makes mornings very easy.
When we hit the lottery, I'll be a say at home mom and have five more kids. Until then, life is good as it is now.
Oh neat! Its about an hour! I do love going to Eureka in the fall and walking the shops, it is very beautiful. They usually really live it up for Halloween with all of the 'haunted' buildings, I was just thinking I would love to take T soon. I went when I was pregnant and got so tired walking those hills lol!
I'm a SAHM and we definitely want to have another baby someday. We hope to have 3 or 4 but are taking it a baby at a time.
After we are done having kids and they become more independent Id like to become a certified doula as the whole process of birth just excites and amazes me.
We live in a tiny town in Saskatchewan, Canada. Like tiny. 1000 people tops. Before going on mat leave I was working as a mental health therapist. We have a 2.5 year old DS and DD is 5.5 months. I have 18 months off work and am loving staying at home with the kids! When I go back I hope to only work 60% but haven't discussed with my manager yet!! No family pets yet but I hope to get a dog when the kids are older!! I grew up having dogs and I'd like for them to have that experience too.
Hi I’m Katie, DH and I are both 27 we meet in college and have been married for 3 year. LO arrived on April 22nd via vaginal delivery. I’m going to summarize our story cause I’m not trying to write a novel here. LO went straight to the NICU because he was breathing funny. 6 hours after delivery I had emergency surgery to repair a 4th degree tare they didn’t notice (they thought it was only a 2nd degree and had fixed it). I spent 3 days in the hospital due to blood lose. LO spent 7 days in the NICU to monitor his breathing. Luckily after I was released he got a private room in the NICU, so I got to stay with him.
Once released we went to a specialist at Seattle Children’s Hospital and LO was diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence. He has a small chin that is set back and can cause his tongue to obstruct his air way, also his pallet is not formed correctly and may need surgery to correct when he is older, they won’t know if he needs surgery until he begins to talk. So you can see why I haven’t been much of a poster, as first time parents everything was a little overwhelming.
At 4 month LO is doing great! Most of his airway issues have resolved themselves. His is under weight as he has to work a little harder to eat, because he can’t create suction, but we have great support at Children’s hospital. I’m sure there are interesting things to say about myself but I have forgotten them, we are all consumed with LO. Life is starting to feel normal again as I returned to work 3 weeks ago. We are so fortunate to have our wonderful family nearby I don’t know how we would have survived without them.
Cassie-turned 25 this year. My husband is 30. We've been together over 5 years, married for over 3. Our little girl was kind of a "surprise" but a welcome one! We live in Southern California, in Orange County but he's originally from Colorado where we met when I was in college and we plan on moving back eventually. He's a sales director for a software company and I'm currently a SAHM-I have a BSW which was great in Colorado but kind of worthless out here. I'm hoping to get my Crossfit Level 1 Certification early next year so I can coach part time and still get to stay home with my little girl, and hopefully for our next ones first couple years as well.
She was due 3/1, wasn't born until 3/11 after 26 hours of labor and an emergency C section. We're a huge Notre Dame fan family (I know, I know...) and Bronco fans. Riley is our first, and we figure when she's a bout 2, we'll start talking about a sibling. The plan is , do a big 5 year anniversary trip, then try for #2.
My son was born on April 10th and is the most amazing joy and challenge I could have ever imagined. I work full-time as an attorney, and I'm learning how to balance everything. I'm also a bed-sharing, breastfeeding, baby-wearing, trying to make my own food mama!
Oh, and I'm from New England transplanted to Arlington, VA. Looking forward to getting to know everyone a little better!
