2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? --- Gahhh! No, we'll find out Feb 19. I. Can't. Wait.
3. What took you so long to intro? --- Uh, introvert? : )
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? --- Useful info, awesome gifs, and a slightly anonymous place to ask Q's I may be embarrassed to ask a friend. (Again: introvert.)
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? --- Snuggling w DH, hanging with friends, singing, cooking.
6. Anything else you care to share?
--- I live in western MA, I've been married 2 years, I'm obsessed with decorating my home, and I would love to be a full time writer someday.

3. What took you so long to intro?
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies?
6. Anything else you care to share?
1. What baby is this for you? First! Unless furbabies count. Furbabies don't count, do they? No? Ok then. First.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Team Blue because blue is a perfectly good colour for boys and girls. Also, I don't like pink. However, we're having a girl! No name for her yet.
3. What took you so long to intro? I think I intro'd right after I got my BFP.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Do I have to pick just one part? The saltiness, the gifs, CHAT (when I get on there...), the legit info and varying opinions, but most of all, the outpouring of support for anyone who needs it for anything.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Reading, knitting, blogging, watching youtube videos. But these days, mostly just bumping.

5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies?
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Girl, no name yet
3. What took you so long to intro? I just found out about the bump
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? I'm hoping to find some support from people going through the same things I am. I don't have a ton of support.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Photography
6. Anything else you care to share? My favorite color is yellow.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Boy and we haven't settled 100% on a name but we are leaning toward Zachariah Louis
3. What took you so long to intro? I creeped and lurked for a few months then jumped in with no intro. I'm still not a regular or anything, but I have dreams of being super cool like you guys one day.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Everyone is so supportive. Plus, no one here is taking anything too serious, if I wanted to go to the SS thread and rant about my cat's vomiting habits I bet someone in here would have funny story or gif.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Currently my life involves eating food, watching bad TV, naps, and playing card/board games. I'm learning to crochet and occasionally I sew and I love cooking. When the weather warms up I'll get around to doing more fun things.
6. Anything else you care to share? Nothing worth reading
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? A boy, but we don't have a name yet
3. What took you so long to intro? I mostly lurk and read, but have posted a few times. Just haven't done it yet--but getting the invite to intro pushed me over!
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Just being able to see what other June mamas are experiencing, questioning, etc. And a lot of you ladies seem like fun!
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I work full time and take care of my three year old son mostly. I'd love to say I have a hobby, but lately watching TV and snacking are my hobbies.
6. Anything else you care to share? My hubby is such a great, dedicated stay at home dad to our preschooler, I'm a little crunchy (not hard core), and I think the thing I'm looking forward to most is breastfeeding my new little guy and having him fall asleep in my arms.

2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Team Pink!! We were told it looked like a girl at 12 week ultrasound, but we got more confident confirmation at our A/S at 18 weeks. Still working on the name, but much closer than we previously were!
3. What took you so long to intro? I did an intro, but wasn't on here enough to really post and felt like I missed the train. Glad this mid-pregnancy newbie welcome got so many of us to post again!
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? I like the honesty, the info, and the laughs. I lurk and laugh and learn a lot from all of your ladies, so thank you for everything thus far!
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Yoga, running (not much anymore), and traveling. I am also great at wine-ing when I'm not pregnant
6. Anything else you care to share? Just thank you for the newbie welcome! I am PGaL and this board has helped me get very very excited for how real this is all starting to feel
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Yup yup, baby boy Isaac Andrew!
3. What took you so long to intro? I did my own SS intro yesterday (oops...), but before that, I guess I just hadn't thought to. Plus, I can be a bit of a procrastinator....
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? The kindness, the humor, and the GIFs! It's also really awesome to have a place to ask questions and bitch about what's going on with my body.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Lately, sleeping, eating, watching TV, and getting sucked into the computer, lol. Which is like normal, except now they're done in far bigger chunks.... I've also managed to make 3 curtains by hand, too, so far.
6. Anything else you care to share? I am a geek, and I love cats, humor, music, and sci-fi/fantasy. And hate spiders. And clowns. And am also obsessed with red hair!
1. What baby is this for you? Number one!
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Team green! Nothing definite. Conor for a boy maybe Daphne for a girl...
3. What took you so long to intro? I lurked, then randomly jumped in and then felt like it was too late/awkward to do an intro.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? The love and support. And the gifs. They have changed my world.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I love cooking/baking and outdoor activities (camping, skiing, etc.). I'm also super nerdy and love to read!
6. Anything else you care to share? I feel less like a creeper now...
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I work out (more so when I'm not pregnant), I'm a gamer and I like scrapbooking.
6. Anything else you care to share?
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? This is a girl, we have a boy. No name, as DH and I are on completely different pages.
3. What took you so long to intro? I have already intro'd a while back
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? The strong bond everyone has and how we can all come together to help a grieving mother.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I don't bump a lot, I work and chase a toddler around. Mostly just lurking in my freetime and commenting when I can. Which is also why I have not updated my siggy or profile pic I don't have the know how, even when following instructions <facepalm>
6. Anything else you care to share? You girls are totes adorbs thanks for all the entertainment, advice and shenanigans!
1. What baby is this for you? This wiggly little parasite is my first.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Yep. It's a boy who will probably be born with his father's HUGE head and shoulders-- he'll rip me apart on the way out and leave my labia dangling like string cheese curtains. He'll be Luke --yes, as in Luke Skywalker-- because my husband is a huge nerd and has wanted to name a son Luke since he was a kid. Go figs. I get the middle name, and am leaning toward Atticus.
3. What took you so long to intro? I'm mostly a Creepy McCreeperson who just stalks the boards and doesn't participate much, but I've been around since the beginning.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Here, I have learned all about the sacred art of GIFing, a practice I will carry with me for the rest of my days. So thank you, snarky bitches!
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Books and more books. I also like to get my craft on, though mostly what I create is more monstrous than it is prettyness. I'm working on it. I pretend to love yoga, but mostly I just suffer through and bitch in my head about having to do it at all. Don't tell.
6. Anything else you care to share? I can't believe there's not a food question here, so I'll share about food. Cheese. Also, cheese. And cheese. Somebody on this thread (I'm too lazy to go look) posted a "making love to a slice of pizza" GIF that describes perfectly my love for cheese and all cheese-central (or even cheese-adjacent) foods.
I'm hungry.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? We're having a little girl. Still talking names.
3. What took you so long to intro? I've been lurking for about a month or so but it always felt like the wrong time to jump in. I've been sending good thoughts and well wishes for those who have been having scares and for those who lost their sweet babies but it felt a bit strange to jump in when it seemed like everyone's gotten so close already.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? I'm amazed at how much support you show for each other. You guys are pretty funny too.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Reading, watching trash tv, outdoor activities when it's not so freaking cold.
6. Anything else you care to share? My toddler is convinced the baby is residing in my boobs no matter how many times I tell him she's located a bit further down...
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet?

4. What's your favorite part of our BMB?
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies?
6. Anything else you care to share?
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Boy. Probably Sawyer David (DH is sold, I'm still a little hesitant. I need some feedback on that name!)
3. What took you so long to intro? Apparently I was slow in figuring out I was KU this time around.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? I don't post a lot, because I can barely keep up with reading, but I love knowing I'm not alone if what I'm going through. Also, I laugh a lot when I'm reading.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I teach first grade, I have a 13 month old, and I'm dead tired. So my other hobbies usually include falling asleep on the couch in the middle of trying to read the BMB. I do like to read, be crafty, and I make jewelry when I have time.
6. Anything else you care to share? It makes me happy that PA seems to be well represented on this board. Texas is just not the same.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? It's a girl, due June 29. Nothing for sure on the name yet. I like Madelyn, and I think my husband might be warming up to the name.
3. What took you so long to intro? I've been lurking since my BFP. I had kind of a scary first trimester with an appendectomy for a ruptured appendix then another surgery to correct a bowel obstruction. I was terrified how all of that would effect the pregnancy. Last week I had my scan with MFM and thankfully they were able to alleviate a lot of my fears, so I feel better posting now.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? You ladies are an awesome support system for one another. I also enjoy the snark.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I wish I had more time for hobbies. My free time is usually spent with my husband and daughter. I'm working on my master's degree, so that takes up some of my time too.
6. Anything else you care to share? I love my job. I have worked as a labor & delivery nurse for the past 8 years.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Girl! Undecided on names but thinking of Sawyer...
3. What took you so long to intro? I introduced myself around 12 weeks (PGAL brain was afraid to before that), and I mostly lurk because I don't have much advice to give and I'm definitely not snarky enough, lol!
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? The support, gifs, and snark
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Currently it's napping and eating mint chocolate oreos. I also love to read.
6. Anything else you care to share?
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Girl! We're going to call her Charlotte Anne (nickname Charlie)
3. What took you so long to intro? I have been around since the start but lurk more than I post. I also recently changed my username (but not my sig / profile pic) so figured a re-intro might be a good idea.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Ladies who say it like it is!
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I'm into all things health and fitness, cooking, music and when I'm not preggers, vino. DH actually brought a really badass wine fridge right around the time we got KU and he's been filling it with all sorts of treats. Can't wait to start pulling out some bottles this summer!
6. Anything else you care to share? We live in Seattle but are both from New Zealand. We've been in the US about 4 years now. DH is a citizen but grew up in NZ, and I recently became a dual citizen.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet?
3. What took you so long to intro?
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? It's amazing to be part of a group sharing the fears and joys of pregnancy along similar timelines, as cheesy as it sounds I feel like we're all in this together. I've gotten incredible tips from STMs, and I love that so many FTMs have the same questions that I do (no matter how embarrassing or weird they might be).
1. What baby is this for you?
#1! We don't know what we're doing, but it's fun trying to figure it out.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet?
It's a boy - no name yet, but DH has dual citizenship in the US and Iceland, so we're trying to find a name that would honor his Icelandic heritage, but is also pronounceable. This is a tall order.
3. What took you so long to intro?
I work at a bank, and lots of sites are firewalled so it's hard to properly goof off during the day. I also really wanted to get a feel for the site before I marched in. Happy to be here now, though!
P.S. @celticbiohazard:
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB?
This gif:
But in all seriousness, the amount of support you ladies have for one another is a wonderful thing.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies?
I love to sing, cook, hike, and eat. Mostly eat. DH is working on his sommelier certification, so currently I like to "help" him study and live vicariously through him while he drinks a crapload of wine.
6. Anything else you care to share?
Just that I'm super stoked to be here!
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? It's a girl! We're having trouble with names, but our front runner is Nurjehan (Noor djuh haan). I'd love opinions on whether you think this is manageable in the US?
3. What took you so long to intro? I intro'ed towards the end of my first trimester, partly out of nerves/superstition, but a lot because I used my spare time for vomiting. I don't sit at my computer that much, so I don't participate as much as I'd like.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Reading a post and thinking "Whew! I'm normal!" And the entertainment value.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Pilates, hiking, sports in general, music, travel. I also belong to an art society. We do a lot of entertaining, so I spend a lot of my time on that.
6. Anything else you care to share? Unlike many of you, I still have an aversion to most foods. And I normally love food! So I am really looking forward to being able to eat again!
I've always liked the name Atticus! Kepping with the nerdy theme I suggest "Tiberius" for a middle name.
@Temurlang1, I think Nurjehan is a beautiful name. It will be difficult to pronounce and spell in the US. That said, I know someone born in the US with an Aztec name: Nahdxyeli (pronounced Nay-el-ie). If you love it I say go for it. You can always give her a nickname if her teachers or friends are having trouble with it.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? We're having a girl! Claire Rebecca.
3. What took you so long to intro? Fright. Also, I can't bump at work. The site crashes my browser and I get no mobile reception.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? The support I see through the regulars.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Now? Sleep.
6. Anything else you care to share? I'm 22w, 1d now, and it's getting scary. I had a cerclage placed early December for my incompetent cervix but still...scary.
This is baby number 3!
Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet?
It's a girl. (We have a 7 year old boy and 3 year old girl)
What took you so long to intro
I intro'd right when I got a positive test back in September.
What is your favorite part of our BMB
Gifs now that I learned how to do them and all the love and support everyone's been getting
What are your other hobbies
I would like to say running but I haven't done much of that lately.
Wish I had something interesting I could share
I have a 1971 super beetle my husband restored for me.
3. What took you so long to intro? I dunno I figured after I talked about my discharge, bowel movements and farts we were pretty much bonded.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Sure you all can be salty hormonal hoes but you make up for it by being very supportive, funny and whip smart.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Attempting to redecorate and rearrange my house before baby 2.0 gets here. Thrifting. Cooking. Traveling.
6. Anything else you care to share? I am a fangirl. Supernatural, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potty, Doctor Who, Sherlock etc. I love that stuff!
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? Identical girls, Abigail Corrine and Hannah Jane
3. What took you so long to intro? I lurked for awhile, just wanted to see what this was all about.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? Well, I find it hard to ask questions to the male OB I've been seeing, I don't care if you've been a dr longer than I've been alive, you've never been pregnant so don't try to tell me things. I prefer advice from women, thanks.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Sleeping, watching tv, hanging out with my friends, sister and niece, and DH when we see each other. When it's nice we love camping, and grilling/using our firepit.
6. Anything else you care to share? I'm an ER nurse, I miss drinking and am excited to have these babies!
1. What baby is this for you? Number 1!
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet? My little boy is named Frederick John.
3. What took you so long to intro? I introed at <14 dpo.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? The people obviously! And umm... I like how much knowledge and support there is on here. Scary things are less scary when I'm among friends, especially ones who have been there.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? I've been travelling. A LOT. I'm in Germany until the endish of April and there is a lot I want to see.
6. Anything else you care to share? Bumping at odd hours is the pits. That is all.
2. Do you know the sex/name of the baby yet?Benjamin Chris
3. What took you so long to intro? I was in the July babies forum, but Im measuring early and Im due on the second, so I thought I would relate to yall more than them.
4. What's your favorite part of our BMB? All of it, dur.
5. When you're not bumping, what are your other hobbies? Go to the beach, thats a bobbie for me when you go as much as I do. I have chickens, I crotchet, I revamp things, still trying to fix up our new house, I have a lot of hobbies!
6. Anything else you care to share? I hope y'all are nicer than the July ladies, they always have something crappy to say about my posts, like I don't post in the right place or Im not using the right wording, or my favorite is, why Im on that forum when Im a number of weeks ahead of them, Im due July 2nd, they are just generally not welcoming IMO.... (:
