Introduction to the Group

Long-Time Lurker, First-Time Poster Here!
I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to the group. My partner and I live in Atlanta and are thrilled to be 16 weeks pregnant with our first child. We are expecting our little boy 4/20/15. What an interesting due date, right!?!? But, not only for THAT reason, but it is also my parents' wedding anniversary and they will be celebrating 48 years together this year!
My partner and I were married in Boston this year and are thrilled that our TTC journey was a short one (good mojo and thoughts to those in the midst of that journey!). This will be the first grandchild on both sides of the family, so we have no expectations of anything other than a totally spoiled little guy! Because I am 5 years older than DW and because she has PCOS, we decided to try IUI (2nd attempt successful) with my egg and I am carrying the child. Smooth pregnancy thus far and lots of support from family and friends.
After lurking on this board and my Birth Month board, I have decided to only join this group. I look forward to getting to know you ladies, learning lots from you and offering thoughts and support when appropriate!
