Fun post 4 those of us still waiting

paine0925 · September 2015

to take our mind off of things... For all of us still waiting for our babies to arrive, I'd love to hear a little something personal about each of you and a random pic! I'll start with some things: I used to be a funeral director; I hate pineapple; my little mini dachshund is named Morty; my favorite show of all time is Seinfeld; I live in the middle of a corn field in Iowa. Here are some pics of my little doggy. Please share anything interesting/random about yourself, I would love to hear!!!!!

babyplut · September 2015

I used to work construction before I waitressed. I enjoy watching true crime stories such as 48 hours or dateline when I go to sleep. My SO is 6'8 and I'm 5'4. I used to have two snakes, and a bearded dragon. My French bulldog passed away in an accident a month ago and my puppy was stolen 3 weeks ago

(been a rough month) I hate hate hate cucumbers! My first two kids are half Chinese and this one is going to be full Caucasian. I love my kids, my SO, beer, and red wine!

tinyfeets · September 2015

How fun!

Currently working in the Bay Area tech scene (complete with the multi-hour commute to SF every day)
I once dated a professional musician and toured the country for a year
My one food obsession throughout pregnancy has been Spaghetti-Os
Way back when, I appeared on Judge Judy - and won!
I have a fish named Eugene that's outlived any plant I've tried to keep alive
Recently self-diagnosed with misphonia. (Or I just can't handle hearing my boyfriend chew with this mouth open)

Included a picture of a goat that accurately represents how I feel about my first day of maternity leave tomorrow. Also attached a couple "sneak peeks" from my maternity shoot; sorry, but I'm WAY too excited to see the rest of them!

ktbkitten · September 2015

My job mostly entails telling people to get crap off of their property...it doesn't always go so well. I had a shaved head in high school and I still miss it some times. I love watching movies and feel the need to use quotes from them constantly. I don't like going to the movies though. When I met my husband I thought that he was cute but nerdy and I never thought I would have dated him. My DH and I backpack and last year we did the AT through Maryland, 40 miles in 4 days. I love all things potatoes. My son is really cool and I love hanging out with him.

FlyingIrish · September 2015

- I was a flight attendant for 6 years before I decided I wanted to start my family. I miss the traveling all day every day!
- DH and I are Disney obsessed. We've been to Disney World 6 times in the past 2 years and have our next trip already planned.
- I was an Irish dancer as a child and won many titles in the U.S. but never went to championships in Ireland.
- The only things I could keep down for the first 4 months of pregnancy were slurpees and Fritos(super nutritious!!)

tlc11934 · September 2015

I live 20 miles from NYC and hardly ever go into the city after working there for many years. I travel frequently around the country for work and have been to 34 states. My #1 bucket list item is to visit all 50. I am 34 years old and was the first of all my friends to have kids (thx NYC influence). I have two precious daughters and another on the way. I never wanted kids. Lol! Here's a pic of my girls. I don't do pictures of myself.

WDDCH · September 2015

I'm Joy. I just turned 30. Mom to six! Had my first when I was 20, back in 2005. Had a baby every other year since then, each in an odd year (2007, 2009, 2011, etc.). I also have had two miscarriages so 8 pregnancies in all.

All I ever wanted to be, since I was a toddler, was a mom and a teacher. I homeschool so I'm definitely living my dream! It's not in the way I imagined but it is better.

My husband is a musician and youth pastor in the inner city. He wants to be a full-time musician though. I met him on a missions trip and we got married Oct 30, 2004 (so coming up on 11th anniversary). He's an amazing vocalist and I fully support him in his music ventures.

We're trying to grow an urban garden. My grown-up dream (different from my toddler/kid dreams) is to have our own homestead, with a focus on animal husbandry. I adore cows especially. We are fixing up our 106-year-old post-Victorian house to sell and then fulfill our grown-up dreams!

I love Stargate, Dr Who, Sherlock, some Star Trek, etc.

Not too thrilling over here but that's where I'm at right now.

surprisepkg31 · September 2015

Can't upload pics from my phone. But....

I'm 32 years old

I have 2 dogs, blue heeler/ border collie and a blue heeler.

I am a native and live Denver, Colorado, and no people don't just walk around smoking pot.as a native it's just never been a big deal. I hate how many people have moved here based on this reason, my city is insanely crowded and expensive now.

I've been a massage therapist for 11 years retiring this year as I got my broadcast production degree in May finally!

My favorite color is purple, my husband and I have been together 12 years married 5 years ago in mexico.

I love my dogs, movies, camping and miss my wine!!!!

mriandabusto · September 2015

App updated and now I can't upload pics.
My name is Miranda I'm 23 and live near denver, I cleaned houses for 7 years, went to school for accounting and hated it, I want to be a teacher so I can be around kids all day, I love seeing all the new things kids can learn and what I learn from being around them.

I have a husky/wolf and Catahoula cur/blue heeler. I love to cook/bake, wrestle, swim, run around, and watch TV with my them and my hubby. They mean the world to me.

Hubby and I have been together for almost 3 years, I decided I wanted to marry him the very first time I set eyes on him 5 years ago and I like to believe I always get my way so we'll get there when we have the money, I'm patient though. We also want one more baby and I'm excited for when that day comes! I also never wanted to be a mom but couldn't possibly be happier now.

alyjmac · September 2015

My name is Jill. I live in a really small town in Ontario (Just got a grocery store last year). Was born in Niagara Falls, lived there for about 9 years. Moved to be closer so we could see our dad more (he worked out of town 4-5 days a week).

I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 20. We have been together almost 4 and a half years. Met in highschool. He was a "bad boy" and we were complete opposites. People always wondered how we ever ended up together. He was probably the sweetest guy I had ever met though!

I'm a Netflix junky. Currently obsessed with House. Don't know what I'm going to get into after that is over. Suggestions?

Don't have too many hobbies but I've been fishing a lot lately. Got my very own pole this summer, since my boyfriend was tired of sharing his. All I normally catch are small bass (something's better than nothing). Lol

Unlike pp, I love Winter. I find myself doing more than I do in the summer. The only thing that can be a drag is cleaning off my car!

Can't wait to have my baby and to see all your birth announcements! Good luck ladies

paine0925 · September 2015

This is fascinating!!! I'm loving it! The interesting stories, the pics, totally a nice switch to read about this right now than doctors appointments and weight gain and hemorrhoids LOL!!!!

BabyBugutsky · September 2015

I can't post pics but I'll still share!

I'm 27 living in beautiful Northern Ontario Canada.

I've been working in the Beauty industry for over 12 years. Started in a salon and now manage a part of a global cosmetic company.

I went to school to be a lawyer though.

My boyfriend and I have an 11 year old Husky/Shepherd mix who we adore. His shedding though I can live without!

I'm allergic to watermelon.

My boyfriend and I are nerds as we love Dr.Who, anything DC comic related, Dragon Ball Z (more him then me), Murdoch Mysteries and anything sci-fi related. We attend any FanExpo or Comic event we can! To balance everything out we also love watching the food network as I love to cook and bake.

I found out I was pregnant the morning after we had just gotten home from a cruise in the Caribbean.

BabyBugutsky · September 2015

@alyjmac fellow Netflix junkie here.

Dr.Who is one of my favorites.
Suits is an amazing show.
Daredevil is also amazing.
The 100 is fantastic.
Bojack Horseman is also good. Adult comedy funny.
Hell On Wheels is a great show too.
Orange is the New Black also awesome.

What types of shows do you like? I can go on forever...

rebeccabloomwood · September 2015

I'm 28 and live in Ontario, Canada as well! (seems there's a lot of us here!)

I'm finally a french teacher after trying and supplying for 4 years.

We have a golden retriever that is a member of the family.

I dislike cats and onions.

I have a DD who just turned two who I can't wait to make a big sister.

I love rewatching funny movies and quoting them in my daily life. I'm also obsessed with Bridget Jones and Father of the Bride.

AndieTessie · September 2015

I'm andie, FTM and 25 years old. DH and I got married in Vegas 4 years ago by Elvis himself (one of the many lol) and I don't think I could of planned a better wedding. I have probably an unhealthy obsession with my two dogs and cat. I also an embarrassed to admit I watch spongebob on the regular and love Harry potter! Attached are pictures of Tessie, Oliver, and Barry the cat, my fur babies!

hatchback4g · September 2015

I just turned 27, DH and I have been married 9 years as of July, we have 3 dogs and a cat. DH is a gamer and we are both pretty nerdy, we also try to attend all the ComicCons and such that we can, DH is looking forward to dressing up baby girl next year

. I devour books, usually 3-4 a week. I will be a SAHM and I'm really excited about it. I grew up in Denver loving winter but now that I live in Kansas winter just isn't the same... the snow here sucks lol but I still prefer fall/winter to spring/summer.

keehank1 · September 2015

My life is simple but certainly fulfilled

My name is Kelsey and I just turned 24( Sept 4th)

I have my B.S in psychology but wish I would have gone with a degree with a more stable career path . ( without needing a masters or doctrite )

I'm currently not working - I was a nanny but will be taking time off to fulfill my life goals of being a mommy . Family is everything to me

My husband and I just married in May and found out we were expecting a year into wedding planning - such a pleasant surprise as we didn't think we could bear children . - we are 13 years apart .

We love to laugh and goof around - nothing serious goes on in this household . We enjoy riding our bikes , playing mini golf , eating ice cream and pizza !

We have one dog named Rudy - he's part boxer / fox hound / human

We are expecting a boy and this is both my husbands and i's first child .

jennsammut · September 2015

@alyjmac we started narcos this weekend it's really really good !

Suits is really cool, it's filmed in Toronto ! I got to go on set last season when my boyfriend worked on it.

sararegine · September 2015

My name is Sara and I am 37. Currently expecting my second DD after putting it off for 5 years since my firstborn, my beautiful Allegra. I love children but absolutely HATE being pregnant.

I live in beautiful Florence, Italy but my father is American and my mother Italian (I have dual citizenship). Due to my father's job and later my inability to settle down until I met DH, I have lived in 9 different countries including Sweden, Jamaica, USA (Virginia and NYC), Canada (Nova Scotia) and the UK (London).

I am Head of Corporate Communications for a business that is part of one of America's largest multinationals and happens to be based in Italy. Funnily enough, even though I work in Italy, the majority of my day is spent working in English. I am a self-confessed workaholic - I LOVE my job and team and treat them like family and am finding the whole "being on maternity leave" thing somewhat of a struggle while I wait for DD to arrive (work helped keep me distracted) but really appreciate the 3 months leave I will get once she arrives (courtesy of the Italian govt).

DH is a wine producer. We've known eachother since I was 20 but been "together" for 12 years and married 6 years. Our wedding anniversary is July 4th - the irony of independence day. I knew the moment I met him that he was the man I would marry. He's the best dad ever and super excited about our second arrival, although worried that timing may coincide with harvest!

I was a Bumper during my first pregnancy and still stay in touch with several of the mommas I met through it.

No clue how to post pics from my phone but will try to figure it out.

sararegine · September 2015

Here's some pics of my little family including my bump :-)

babs02 · September 2015

My name is Brittany.
DH and I have been together on and off for almost 11 years. 5 years this time and married 3 in October.
I'll be 29 in October, DH 35 next week!
We live outside Phoenix AZ
We have 2 dogs. Martin who we got almost 2 years ago and his sister Dixie who we rescued this past June. They are spoiled and are part of the family.
I have 1 brother and 4 sisters. The next oldest is 10 years younger than me and the youngest is 8.
My hair has been almost every color and length.
We are huge sports fans. Hockey, Football and Baseball. Go Islanders, Jets, Diamondbacks and Mets!

mandie3548 · September 2015

My name is Amanda and I'm 28 years old. I live in northwestern ontario. I'm in the process of a divorce from my high school sweetheart. My new bf is only 21 which I sometimes feel odd about lol. We're expecting our baby on September 20th. It will be my 3rd baby and his 1st. We play video games together and I love to read. I'm obsessed with buffy the vampire slayer and angel. He's obsessed with Dr who. And we both work at dominos pizza lol.

paine0925 · September 2015

I'm sitting in a breakfast restaurant by myself eating a massive cinnamon roll reading all these posts and absolutely freaking loving it!!! Everyone is so interesting! I can't believe how far away some of us live - amazing.

I'll pretty much watch anything that has a good story line. I have watched Orange is the new black already.
I was thinking of watching Bojack Horseman but wasn't too sure how good it would be so maybe I can try that as my next one to get into!

Taekarate1978 · September 2015

My name is Daphne, I have two boys ages 16 and 14. I live in rural Alabama and have most of my life. My boys attend the same school I attended. I love working with adolescents in a treatment facility, but at the moment I'm doing nothing. My favorite show is Doctor Who, it started out as a bonding attempt with my older son. We might be obsessed. We also love Street Outlaws, thanks to my husband. We have six dogs and a cat...not planned, all the strays end up at our house. I didn't date anyone for fourteen years, I started dating someone I went to highschool with and really thought he was the one. God had other plans, the loser had three girlfriends at the same time. During a terrible breakup, I reconnected with another man I went to highschool with. He asked me out for months and I absolutely refused. I told him I was never dating again. Well, at the beginning of December I fell head over heels for him. I think he's a keeper. We got married in May, I love him and my boys adore him. Funny fact: I've always wanted six kids. My husband has an 18 year old daughter, a fifteen year old son, and custody of his eleven year old niece. With my two boys and our soon to be born daughter, we will have six children.
I'm attaching photos of my boys, myself, and my wonderful husband.

beansideirae · September 2015

loving everybody's stories and beautifil pictures

I'm 32, going back to college...I'm a linguistics major but I'm really trying to get into Celtic studies. I live in the Midwestern US. DH and I will have been married 5 years this Saturday. we met because of dungeons and dragons, we are big nerds and gamers. we cosplay, larp and all that good stuff. I am a bookworm and a huge Netflix addict. Doctor Who is my true love, but I'm getting myself thro this pregnancy by binging on Angel, haha. I also loooooove Star Trek, game of thrones, sense8, daredevil, etc. what did you Suits fans think of the mid-season finale? it's going to be a looooong wait til spring!!

anyways... this is my first child, DH's second but he doesn't get visitation with his first. we have two very fat cats, Patty (20 lbs!!) and Persia. can't wait for baby girl to join us, any day now as we are already 5 days overdue and I am losing my damn mind lol.

paine0925 · September 2015

So many of you are raving about Doctor Who - I'm absolutely going to have to watch this now! Unfortunately because we live in the middle of nowhere we can't stream Netflix due to having satellite internet (so we pay out the bum to stream anything) but we do have the old fashioned Netflix lol where they send you discs in the mail, I will totally see if they have Doctor Who for that!!

Dessy2k14 · September 2015

Hello my name is Destiny,
I'm from Alabama, I work in retail and I'm attending school to be a teacher. I'm 20 & my fiancé and I got engaged on my 19th birthday! We've been dating since 2007 ! This is our first child we will be having ! We also have a pit bull name champ who is a big baby ! He will be Turing one in December! We enjoy going on walks at the park with our fur baby !

MW5280 · September 2015

Hi! I'm Megan, 32, and in the Denver area.

DH and I met online almost 3 years ago and got married almost 1 year ago. He came with 2 kiddos and I came with too many diplomas :-) I'm now a SAHM to my stepkiddos and a recently adopted kitten (Kayley).

Another Netflix junkie and fan of Doctor Who! DH says he started talking to me online because I was a fan of Doctor Who.

I love reading, knitting, musicals/theater, and have turned into a crazy organizational queen since jumping into immediate parenthood. I am now one of those people that is constantly purging the house of unused things.

I have a love/hate relationship with laundry. I love having clean clothes, hate doing the laundry, but am too much of a control freak to let others do the laundry because they don't do it right.

Last night, the kids, DH and I went on a French Fry Tasting Adventure. We tried fries at 13 different places in order to truly decide where our favorites are. It was a 3 hour endeavor and I don't think my car will ever smell the same but it was super fun. Our 6 year old informed us at the start that you "can't have a dinner of only fries!" but he changed his mind once we started.

My Netflix List (favorites and on my list to watch):
Psych
Call The Midwife
Torchwood
White Collar

puddinpop95 · September 2015

Not working now though, planning on being home til LO goes to kindergarden. We have a little monster named Loki (German shepherd/colloe/border collie) so basically he's the energizer bunny on Crack 24/7 haha I'm absolutely obsessed with the show Once Upon a Time. If u haven't seen it, you need to haha my due date is the 19 but I don't think I'll be making it that long...at least I hope not anyway!!

rachelb51212 · September 2015

I love Once Upon A Time! I'm so excited for it to come back this fall

I'm Rachel, 25 and FTM. I've been married to my husband for 3 years, but we've been together since high school. I was a music teacher the past 3 years at an elementary school, but I'm going to be a SAHM until this LO and our next one are in school at least. I have a mini goldendoodle who loves people! I hope he does well with the baby. We live in north Alabama and love Auburn football!

jene10e · September 2015

Heya!
My name is Jennifer. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with my husband , 3 cats (Nutmeg, Tibby, and Tashi) and 1 dog (Buster). This is our first baby. We've been married for over 17.5 years and on our 17th anniversary we found out that we were finally going to be parents! I hate eggs with a passion but love pasta and fruit and vegetables. I also like to eat cake, muffins, and brownies.
In my spare time, I like to read, watch tv, hang out with my friends and family, and play tennis (can't wait till I'm cleared to play again)!
I work in the wireless industry and sell phones. I used to be a manager at RadioShack for a very long time and I loved it. Too bad my store was one of those that was closed.
I'm so excited to be a mom soon to a little girl. We are naming her Antonia Elisabeth with Toni being her nickname.
This is such a fun board!

hakettler · September 2015

Heather. 28 and FTM. My hubs and I have been together for 6 years and married for three. We're in the Bay Area, California. I work at Target as a manager and am quite excited that I'll be on maternity leave throughout the crazy holiday season (no didn't plan it that way!)!

Husband and I are huge sports fans--love football and basketball (go Warriors!) We also play Fantasy Football and cannot wait for the season to start on Thursday!!

The biggest thing I miss since being pregnant is having some drinks! I really enjoy whiskey, beer, and cocktails--can't wait for my first one post baby!

My goal is to also get back into rock climbing after our little one arrives. It's how my husband and I first met each other and not to mention a great work out!

So fun reading about all of you guys!
