I am 25 and have been married to my husband Andrew for 5 years. After 3 years of TTC I finally got the 2nd line and we couldn't be more excited! This will be our first child. We're planning to have 2 (maybe 3). Andrew is a security manager at the casino here in our home town of Clinton, Iowa and I am a photographer. I absolutely love taking maternity and baby pictures for my clients but am beyond thrilled to have my own done now!

4. Tell us something interesting about yourself!
I love christmas! We got married dec 20 and had a christmas themed wedding, my son ended up being born on Dec 24 (3 weeks and 1 day early) and then we found out we are expecting #2 on Christmas eve. So our lives pretty much revolve around christmas.
1. How old are you? 36, will be 37 in April Are you married? yep If so, for how long? it was 5 years the end of August
2. Where are you from? SE Michigan, near Ann Arbor

1. I'm 35 years old (advanced maternal age???) and have been married for 7 years. 2. I grew up in Maryland, spent some time in college and after in other states, but am now back in the homeland. 3. This will be our third child. That is crazy to type out. We had SURPRISE twins and got pregnant a few months after we were married. They are little girls and hilarious. I think this will probably be it for us. We are hoping to have a boy this time around, but I have the mother's intuition feeling that it's another girl. 4. This year, we bought a house that's within walking distance of the boat ramp we used to use growing up when we would go crabbing and boating. We didn't live in the same town, but would spend a lot of summer days there and it's where my absolute best memories of my childhood are from. So happy to live here now.

I'm from Knoxville, TN; lived in Nashville for 10 years before moving to Tampa, FL 2 1/2 years ago (best decision ever!)
This is our first pregnancy. We're super excited...slightly nervous We're planning on stopping after 2.
For the first 5 years we were married, my MIL reminded me she "wasn't ready to be a grandmother" during *every* conversation. I may have led her to believe that we never wanted kids - in an effort to shut her up. The good news is...it worked. The better news...she's going to be shocked. Can't wait to see her reaction!!!
1. I'm 28, I've been with DH for 15 years, married 10 almost 11 years (we are high school sweeties)

3. This will be baby #2 for us. DS is 11 going on 12... Yep, we are part of the teen parents club. We would like one more but it Took us 10 years to make baby #2... So hopefully it won't take that long next time!!
4. Something interesting about me... Hmm. (I'm not very interesting!) I randomly quit my management job in consumer banking & I turned my cake decorating hobby into a business. I own a bakery and lately the smell of cake and buttercream frosting have been making me turn many different shades of green, which makes my job very, very hard! Barf!!

3. This is my 5th pregnancy. I've had 2 losses, and I have 2 boys (18 months and 6 months). We'd like 4-5 children, eventually, but will most likely take a few years of a break after #3 comes!
4. I constantly hear the theme song to "Sid the science kid" in my head. I'mmmm looking for my friends.. I'm looking for you! That show, though mostly accurate on the science end (I'm a scientist), has the most annoyingly catchy songs!

1. I'm 25, married for 4 years
2. From Chicago suburbs
3. This is our first, would like 3 or more
4. It's killing me not having a due date! My cycle between last 2 periods was 89 days! I was seeing my doctor about it and thankfully, but surprisingly became pregnant. I really don't know when, but my doctor thinks it must have been after I saw her in early December. Got some bloodwork today to maybe get a better estimate.

I live in Chicago and am SO happy not to be really pregnant during the polar vortex...
