I have been around on the boards for the past week - doing a lot of reading and posting here and there but thought I'd put out a short intro. My DH and I are both 30, we live in Pittsburgh PA and have been married two years. We are proud parents of our fur baby, Reese Bernice (pictured below) and are ready to start our family. I work as a physician assistant in cardiac surgery and DH is an engineer - he travels a lot during the week for work which I worry at some point could add an obstacle to TTC. I'm really into health and fitness - love to run, lift weights and eat healthy... but I also love my wine!!! Thank you for all of the info you all have given me already and I hope everyone gets their BFP soon!!!
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

Welcome fellow dirty 30 member, fur mom, wine lover, and spouse of an engineer!
My DH is a software engineer, and I like to call myself his "Handler" because they need some help at times. =]
