Anyone want to introduce themselves? Or reintroduce?

louloutte87 · January 2015

Laura, 27, first baby, British and I also like gaming (world of warcraft!).

I won't put a profile pic, sorry, I have were issues surrounding apps accessing photos on my phone and I don't use the desktop site!

I'm liking this new bump much better

khaleesi123 · January 2015

@manacita‌ I think I recognise your username .. I have learnt to accept that once my first child is born there won't be much gaming for me haha looks like there's a few of us

SmrBrd2012 · January 2015

Hi all, this is a nice idea

I've been more of a lurker too although I'm starting to be a little more active now. I'm a FTM in the Boston area with a little boy due may 12th. My birthday is may 18th so my husband is going to have a hell of a month with 2 birthdays and Mother's day.

Things have been going pretty smoothly for my pregnancy (knock on wood). We're still deciding on names but I've really been liking Philip for several months now. Nice to meet you all!

Rosie3rd · January 2015

Hi! I'm Hannah and I'm 28 and this is my 3rd baby. We're team green at the moment, and we only just settled on names a few days ago. Rosalie (hence the username) or Rhys, both of which we're suggestions from my nearly 4 yr old daughter. She's apparently better at picking names than we are. I am currently a SAHM, but was previously a NICU nurse in Queensland. We've moved across the country early in this pregnancy and now live in Western Australia. I'm very jealous of all the cold comments, as it was 37*C here today (98.6 fahrenheit).

@manacita‌ I LOVE the name Angus! That would be my pick, but my aunt and her sister both named their sons that. And Gus for a nickname is so sweet on a little boy!

cpage2211 · January 2015

Hi! I'm Cristi from Connecticut. I'm 27 and a 3tm. My oldest is 9, my second is forever 6 weeks (he passed away 8 years ago from SIDS) and we are expecting a third boy May 6th! We have decided that his name will be Ashton Taylor. I own my own massage therapy business so my schedule is flexible and I love it! It's *almost* like being a SAHM. I am also a self proclaimed 'DIY Mom'.

It's nice to meet all of you and I look forward to the next few months!

marym94 · January 2015

Hi! I am a STM to baby boy number two!! He is due 5/1. His name is sentimental and will be Wells or Welles Matthew

Not sure of spelling... Even though it is supposed to be Welles I'm afraid people will not know how to pronounce it or something ... Decisions decisions! I'm 33 and very excited to have a house of boys!!! We will see how we do with two before we decide if we want a 3rd.. But open to the idea for sure!! Excited to spend the end of our pregnancies getting to know you!!

marycatherine0523 · January 2015

Hey Y'all, I am a FTM to a baby girl, Evelyn Mae. She is due May 31st, the day before my birthday! I am 24 and am currently living overseas in Europe because my husband is in the military, although I was born and raised in Texas. We love to travel and are very thankful for this opportunity to live across the pond! We have a Long Haired German Shepherd mix named Murphy, he is the most well behaved, loving dog I have ever met, but then again, I am a bit partial!!

I posted a tiny bit in the beginning when I was on the June board, my due date changed so I moved here, but quickly got overwhelmed and became a lurker.

Anyway, nice to meet everyone!

rinibean · January 2015

Hi all! I'm Anisa from New Orleans but I'll be moving to Chicago in the next couple of months. I'm a STM with a DS that's 2 1/2. We are having a girl on May 27th! I have two pitbull fur babies named Matilda and Chloe

I'm happy to finally introduce myself. I was kinda scared before lol. Nice to meet you all.

ambarnett1 · January 2015

Hello! I'm Amy (21) and I'm a STM with another baby boy due 5/20. My son is 9 months old, so they will only be 13 months apart. Basically Irish twins, so my hands will be full!

essiexo698 · January 2015

Hi! My name is Lesley, I am 21 and a FTM to a baby girl named M'lyiah Rose. I am so thankful to have the due date of May 8th & hope I can finish this semester of school & survive all of her kicking while I'm at it!!

uwemi · January 2015

Hi! My name is Nkem, FTM to a cute girl named Uyai Somto(middle name might change), EDD is 5/12/15. I am 30yrs old and live in Houston with my DH. Hopefully in July I will be moving to where ever residency takes me. ( I am a doctor). @cguinn1‌ we have a couple of similarities.
Nice meeting u all.

supersarah77 · January 2015

Hi! I'm Sarah, a 38 year old STM. DD is a toddler and this little guy is due May 17. We have a top 3-4 names but haven't decided yet. I'm totally nervous about managing a toddler AND a newborn!

I've been around since the beginning but am more active on the PG>35 board. No drama over there, it was totally unaffected by the shakedown. I'm glad for the change here.

kat0217 · January 2015

Hi. I'm 26 (27 in a couple of weeks) and a FTM living in Memphis, TN. I'm due May 2nd with a baby girl, Lucy Vivian. Lucy has PACs (premature atrial contractions), but they aren't frequent and could still potentially go away. I have an OB appointment today where I hope to get the news that the issue is completely gone. My husband just got home from military training yesterday (he left when I was 3w2d, the day we found out I'm pregnant).

I was one of the first members of this group back in August. I was also one of the first who was attacked for absolutely no reason. I'm a more natural-minded (crunchy) mama and they all immediately assumed that meant I was judgmental toward those who aren't (which I'm not at all). Anyway, I've lurked off and on since then and watched it get consistently worse. I'm really happy to see the changes made here to make this a supportive environment. I don't know how active I'll be here now that my husband is home after such a long time, but I finally feel comfortable posting here again.

Edited because I forgot to put where I live.

Congrats! My BIL is also in the military. My uncle was as well, he is retired but still works for the military as a civilian. Just wanted to say thanks to your DH for his service! Also enjoy him now that he is home!!

Hi. I'm shelley, 27. Ftm of baby girl due May 18th. I'm from Tennessee. It was a nice warm day here today ! I noticed someone else on here was doing the middle name mae. I love it. It was my grandmother's middle name. I just recently started checking out these forums since we'll be cloth diapering and I've been getting a lot of good advice from that group. I'm glad i missed out on all the drama !!

What part of Tennessee? I'm in Memphis but originally from the Nashville area.

We want to cloth diaper as well but I've been overwhelmed by the options. Sounds like I need to check out that other group you mentioned!

kat0217 · January 2015

Thank you, @blankenbakerh‌

I have to admit, seeing someone respond still makes me hold my breath a bit, expecting the bashing that was the norm for so long. Hope I can get past that soon! Seems like everyone here now is very friendly and supportive!

kateamart · January 2015

Hi Ladies, my name is Kate and I am a 31-year-old FTM living in NYC. Expecting a little boy on May 29, who is so far nameless because we cannot agree (although the front runner name is currently Marcus Xavier).

I've been around this board since the fall, though haven't been too frequent a poster because of all the meanness that was occurring. (I was even subjected to it a bit myself when I made the mistake of posting a poll asking for advice on how to do our sex reveal.) While it's been a bit quiet lately, I'm glad to see that things are ramping up, and look forward to sharing thoughts and advice with you ladies over the next couple of months!

nolababybaby · January 2015

Hi! I'm Nola. This is my first. We are expecting a girl on May 1. I'm 33 and in California.
Happy for a fresh start on here!

daiseyc123 · January 2015

Hello everybody! My name is Daisey and I am a 25 year old FTM to a baby girl, Minnie, due May 5 (Cinco de Mayo!). My husband and I live in Maine with our two labs, chickens, and ducks. I'm a bit crunchy, and terribly interested in trying to cloth diaper as well as breastfeed this baby. That being said, to each her own and I understand these are not choices in which everyone is interested.

I've been on the board since the fall, but have rarely posted either due to feeling like similar responses had already been given or feeling like my responses would be attacked. Now that everything seems to have calmed down, I plan on trying to be more active in this community.

nursemn913 · January 2015

Hi I am Betsy, I am 25 years old. I have been kind of a lurker here. I am a FTM, pregnant with a little girl 27 weeks today due May 1. We are going to name her Hailey Elizabeth. My hubby and I live in MN with our two dogs and two cats. I am an oncology nurse. Nice to meet everyone!! (Edited because it keeps cutting off my last part of my post).

thestarrynight · January 2015

Hi, I'm a 26 year old FTM from Michigan. I'm 25 weeks with a baby girl, whose name I think we have decided on but who knows if that will change between now and May!
I have been a member since August, but only replied to a few posts where I was torn up for "white knighting" which I have come to figure out means "trying to stick up for the poor woman who was getting torn a new one".
I'm not sure how much I will post but I am definitely glad to see the changes here! I certainly hope it stays this way.

EllenStargardt · January 2015

Hi everyone, I've been a lurker since Sept. but this is my first post. I didn't want to get sucked into all the drama that was happening before.

I am a 29 yo FTM due on May 27 living in MN. Team green! Though, trying to agree with DH on boy and girl names sometimes seems like I have set myself up for double the trouble.

SweAm · January 2015

I am Thomas, I read the message boards to make sure I can provide my wife the best support I can. She is 28 and a FTM (and freaking out a bit). We live in Florida where my wife grew up. I only moved to the U.S. three years ago. Before that we lived in Sweden (Think twice about sending your daughters abroad on exchange in college. They may end up staying longer than you think :-)

embie83 · January 2015

Hi everyone! I'm Mary Beth and a FTM. Like many others, I've been lurking since the fall but rarely posted as I was not into all the drama. However, I'll admit it was entertaining to read some of it! I'm 31 and living in Los Angeles. We are expecting a girl on May, 29th. Her name is till TBD but we are leaning towards Caitlin and plan on using my maiden name as her middle name. Glad to meet everyone!

MommyMel81 · January 2015

Hey ladies! I'm Melissa, 34 y.o. stm to my second boy. I'm going to be way outnumbered when this little guy gets here bc I already live with my DH, 4 year old son and our pit/lab mix Rosco. So many males! AHHHH! I had four miscarriages between DS and this pregnancy so feeling really blessed we were finally able to complete our family. I'm REALLY into football and am excited my team made it to the Super Bowl! Go Pats! :-)

sakafa · January 2015

Hi everyone I'm 31 and a FTM. We are expecting our girl on May 17. So far everything has been going great. I live in Manitoba Canada and am so grateful my jacket still fits. I love game of thrones too!

I have been a lurker since the beginning but never really posted because of the negativity before. I'm glad its turned around this site is such a great source of information and support.

Hi ladies,

I feel as now there is a bit of a fresh start happening I would make this post for any newbies that were too shy to introduce themselves before or anyone that has always been here and didn't post much to avoid backlash. Or basically anyone that wants to reintroduce themselves to the new community!

My name is Sarah, 24 years old FTM to baby girl whose name keeps changing throughout pregnancy 24 weeks 4 days. I'm from Sydney Australia annnnd i like gaming (currently far cry 4 and assasins creed unity for anyone that cares)

Lol as soon as I read you are from Australia the little voice in my head reading your post developed an Australian accent. Nice to meet you!

sbride68 · January 2015

Hi! I will reintroduce. My name is Shelby. I'm 23 but turn 24 in February

FTM and we are expecting our little girl on May 7th! We are so excited! Our little girl is measuring in the 45th percentile right now and is perfectly healthy according to our doctor. We have two dogs as well. They are our fur babies. One is a mutt and one is a Shiba inu. They are spoiled little girls!

Hi! I've replied to some posts but don't think I've actually introduced myself!

I'm 27, a FTM due May 8th and we are on team green! My DH and I live in rural grain-farm country in South Dakota and are so excited to be parents!

I have been stressing big time lately because our baby has one kidney that is dilated, we did a follow-up ultrasound and it was bigger yet We have another ultrasound schedule at 32 weeks. Pray all will be well for our little one!

Praying for your sweet baby!

Shaikha+Ali · January 2015

Hi my name is Shaikha / 1st pregnancy / 21 years old / 25 weeks, 6 days / Pregnant with a baby boy

rae430 · January 2015

I'm Rachel, 29 year old FTM due on May 15 and expecting a boy! Name is still TBA but we've narrowed it down to less than 10 possibilities at this point- lol. Baby is healthy, and must have super long legs because he seems to be dancing around all the time. I guess we should expect that because I'm about 6 ft tall and my DH has a few inches on me. We have an enormous, gangly border collie/hound mix.

MrsS728 · January 2015

I'm 31, (32 in a few weeks). My husband and I are expecting a daughter (our first) and I'm currently 26 weeks, due early May. I'm a teacher and mommy to our furry little girl a lab mix.

dec2018mom · January 2015

Forgive me, but I'm rather new to posting. I think I've maybe posted once or twice, but that was from mobile. Never have actually done an intro, but I now have my computer fixed, yay!

My name is Jessica...my username apparently cannot be changed which irritates me, but whatever. I'm 27 years old (about to be 28 on Feb. 2nd) and this is my husband and I's first child. We found out when I was 18 weeks along that we are having a baby girl which I'm over the moon about.

I had an unsuccessful pregnancy before...I was probably close to 2.5 months along, but I lost the baby. I wasn't even aware that I was pregnant due to the fact that I have PCOS and my periods are insane and irregular. It broke my heart, but it gave me hope that someday I'd be able to have a child of my own after being told I couldn't.

In 2012 my husband and I tried a couple of rounds of Clomid in a last ditch effort to get pregnant and it failed us. I gave up and in October of 2014 we found out that I was 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant...I thought she was a gallstone, lol.

I've been lurking here since the day after I found out I was pregnant. I've been wanting to post and be part of the community so bad, but on mobile its more frustration than it was worth for me.
Anyway...I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better over the course of the next few months and even after!

khaleesi123 · January 2015

@sassymama15‌ haha I don't have one of those super strong accents like in the movies but I'm sure you would be able to hear the difference.. Also don't use any of the lingo crocodile Dundee uses I don't know anyone that says fair dinkum or g'day haha

lishaell · January 2015

I have been on here since I found out I was pregnant, but never posted much. My name is Alisha. I have a 18 mo old girl and am 22 1/2 weeks pregnant with my 2nd girl! This will be my husbands 3rd. He has a 9 year old daughter from a previous marriage. I am from Utah and Due May 31st! Haha so if this little girl doesn't come early I could have a June baby. We are really liking the name Averi, but haven't 100% decided..

ali0608 · January 2015

I'm Alison. 36 year old STM. I have a 5 year old boy and another boy on the way. I've posted a little but between being a high school math teacher, taking a grad class, and a 5 year old, I don't have much time to post.

I had GD with the first pregnancy and do again with this one so let me know if you have any questions about it. It's doable, but annoying at times.

Hi Everyone! I am a 28 year old (29 tomorrow!) FTM in the Boston area. We are expecting our little guy on May 3. I have, like several others, been an occasional lurker since the fall but had never posted or introduced myself. I had 2 losses prior to this pregnancy, so I am happy to say things have been going well. Thanks for starting this thread, great idea!
