    Yes I am

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    Stopped BC in June but didn't start tracking until September and I tracked correctly :)

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I woke him up at 7 am which was way too early because he was still sleeping and very confused but then I left to work and he texted me that he was excited.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I am 27 y old and married for 5 years this year. I'm from Europe and moved to the US 5 years ago. I work as a store manager for a famous make up retailer (not Ulta :) ) which is a lot of fun but hard work :)
    I don't have any experience with baby's so I'm looking forward picking up tips and tricks .

    First time mom? No. I have a 4.5 year old and a 2.5 year old.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I had bought him the Jimmy Fallon book "Your Child's First Word Will Be DADA" & I was going to leave that on the bathroom counter with the bfp...but when I saw the 2nd line I freaked out & just woke him up screaming with excitement. I gave him the book after. He was still so surprised...he didn't know I was planning to test this morning. 

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    DH & I have been married for about a year & a half, together for 5 years. We have a sweet little pup, & are just overjoyed to be expanding our family. :)

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I just tested positive this am (had a BFN yesterday afternoon) so I'm still very cautious about this one. I had a miscarriage in June at 7-8 weeks and I'm trying not to get too excited until we get past the first ultrasound.
    I'm also thrilled to see a bunch of ladies from the TTGP board!!!

    ETA: corrected EDD

    This baby will give is 3 under 4. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a boy, we have two boys already 3 and 14 months. Tell me the secrets for staying sane!

    I thought about it - I had been lurking a solid year but only active these last few months. Given the "culture" of the board, I did not want to perceived as a drive by. I very much appreciated their knowledge and learned a lot in the past 12 months!!
  • Estimated due date - June 25th

    Are you a first time mom? No this is our 2nd.

    How long were you ttc? 11 months

    How did you tell your significant other? I asked him if he could see the line :) for our first I gave him a little kstate baby hat. He's ku and I'm kstate. I found it entertaining.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I'm a RN, a volleyball coach, and a rancher. I've participated in ttgp off and on for the past year. I look forward to being part of this board now that vball season is over.

    Hey guys! So I'm new here and still trying to figure out board etiquette, but wanted to introduce myself real quick too :)

    Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 7!

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Nope, this will be my second June baby (first was June 2014)

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? About 4 months

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? It's not an exciting story, we were on vacation and we both kind of already knew I was pregnant, so I just told him right after I peed on the stick.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: with my first pregnancy I wasn't part of any discussion group or anything, so I'm excited to try this out this time!

    I have a dd close to the same age. Her edd was 06/23/14 but was born 07/03! Kind of excited that things will be spaced out the same!
  • @Colle11 I'm 5w4d...my symptoms are mild cramping, thirsty, peeing more frequently, sore boobs, and fatigue I-).

    Hey yall!

    So excited to be here!

    My EDD is June 18, 2016 which is really neat because I'm a June baby as well. DH isn't too excited for two major B days in the same month but he'll have to get over it. Haha

    This is my first pregnancy and I am so excited but completely and totally terrified, thinking sticky thoughts for my little bean!

    I got preggo on my second cycle TTC and I cannot believe it happened that fast, still seems so unreal.

    How I told DH: I took a 2 HPT on 10/10 and had to use direct sunlight and squinty eyes to see that second line but it was there. But I was hesitant to tell him because I didn't believe it my self. Got a digital the next day and plain as day it said pregnant, so I suspiciously pushed him to run some errands the next morning by himself and frantically put my plan in to motion. It's our first pregnancy so I really wanted to do something special. So I printed a picture of the HPT and put it along with some onesies and a sign that said you're going to be a daddy on our picture board above the kitchen table (picture board= wooden frame and chicken wire, I use cute clothes pins to pin pictures) When he got home and saw it all he could say was "Liar!" With a big grin. And of course I filmed the whole thing for posterity lol

    Sorry this was so long, looking at it now I probably should have used the short version. I work at a vet clinic so I'm curious to see if there are any other mommas to be in the same boat!

  • Hi, Ladies!! I just got my BFP today!!

    Estimated Due Date (EDD): According to the Internet, it's June 26.

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? I have a 14 month old son

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 4 months

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? We've had a really hard time getting my son to sleep in his crib, so the three of us were sleeping there this morning. I got up and tested, pretty sure I was starting my AF. When I saw the BFP, I snuck and woke my DH up but saying in his ear "We're going to need a bigger bed!" Nothing too exciting!!

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm so excited to be here. I lurked my entire first pregnancy on the July 2014 but never posted. I learned so much from all the ladies! I'm so excited to be a part of a BMB where I'll actually post!! I'm 40 years old (ugh!) so I was glad to see some older moms here!!
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): 6/23/16

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? #1

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 3 cycles super actively. NTNP since 2012.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? Told him our puppy was going to be a big sister cuz we are pregnant. He said no you're not. Lol.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: Still in shock here.

    This will be my 3rd!
    9 yo Son

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I bought a big brother shirt for my 2 yo. The dummy read it and said "I think you bought the wrong shirt" I told him read it again and think real hard. "Ohhh ok"

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I was part of the September 2013 group and didn't participate much. Will try harder this time!
  • @Linsbins we're EDD twins!
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):
    June 26

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number?
    This will be our second (1st is now 3.5 - where has all the time gone!?)


    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    6 months

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I am usually a pretty optimistic person, so not long after we started trying, I got our son a "Big Brother Bear" shirt -- and then we have a gourmet ice cream shop in town that does personalized labels, so I bought a pint and added a special label. Then, after dinner when my husband went to walk the dog, I changed our son's shirt and handed him the ice cream to give daddy when he got back. Aaaand ... he didn't notice any of it. He'd just gotten back from a weeklong work trip that afternoon - so I have given him a pass. But still - what other reason would our son have for wearing a big brother shirt!?!? ;)

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I had HELLP Syndrome at the end of my pregnancy with my son. Everything worked out as well as can be expected and he was born healthy at 36 weeks. However, as excited as I am, I'm also still pretty gun-shy about this whole thing and am just hopeful that my doctors can help me keep everything in check since we know it's a possibility. Cautiously optimistic!

    Looking forward to taking this journey with all of you ladies. Congratulations to you all!

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    No. I already have a little boy (2 years old)
    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 3-4 months

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? Eh, I stole a poem off of Pinterest, put it in a frame and asked him where we should put it. He had to read it twice to figure it out.


  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): 6/1/15

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? This will be my second munchkin, I have one daughter already.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? we weren't trying, this is a surprise!

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? Just told him after taking a test!

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm a Christian mom striving to do better each day. I work full time currently, but hoping to go part time once the second baby is here or be a full time stay at home mom. I encountered some hard post partum depression with my daughter and hoping to avoid that this time. looking forward to having a journey with everyone.


  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 21st

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number? Nope, I have 2 boys. I thought I was done, but now we are going on number three!

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? This time around we were not trying, but clearly we were not careful either. So, here we are!

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I was like "I think we messed up..." lol He's happy though, thankfully :)

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I am just a full-time working mom with two boys, 3 (and 5 months) and 17 months, who share the same birthday. I am glad this one will hopefully land about a month away from his/her brothers' birthday! SO and I are not married yet, we have just kind of taken our time with that step. But, we discussed getting married soon. I started thinking maybe we would have an actual wedding, though I figured after two kids it might not be reasonable. But, a day later I learned about this itty bitty, so I think my wedding dreams are done. We will probably head down to the courthouse sometime next year. I am also thinking of staying at home once this guy/girl is here. My mom watches our kiddos, but I feel it is a lot to ask with 3 young ones and the cost of daycare for 3 is definitely going to equal my income. I have always wanted to stay at home anyway, I am just scared of not being able to make ends meet or having trouble re-entering the workforce down the road.

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):  June 19, 2016

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number?  Nope, I have a 6 year old daughter and 2 awesome step kids who are 8 and 5.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?  Got lucky on the second cycle

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?   He was working out of town and wasn't sure if/when he could call and I'm too impatient so I text him and said "it's a good thing you are working all that overtime because we definitely need a minivan"  he called me immediately and thought I was kidding.  

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: My husband and I are very excited to add a baby to our blended family and incredibly excited to share the news with the kids as they have been talking babies for awhile now . I'm a full time photographer and I'm a bit nervous about keeping up with everything while pregnant but I'm ready for the challenge.  I am so much more educated on diet and fitness this time around so I'm excited to put that knowledge to good use during this pregnancy. 
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): 06/24/16

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number? No, this will be my second! 

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? He knocked it out the first month we started TTC. He is over the moon about the quality of his sperm. We had tried last year for a month or so but I was diagnosed with Endo and dealt with that surgery for a while before we started again this month. 

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I had suspicions when I was late and I took a test and got so mad it was negative (not checking it again until the a few days later when I got a BFP) then I dug out the original and sure enough there was a faint line... patience is not my strongest quality! I made him come back in and showed him. He's still in disbelief it happened so quick this time. He's waiting until our first appt to tell anyone. 

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm beyond excited and can't wait to get farther in. My kiddo is almost 4 and she's been on a baby craze herself and wants to be a big sister too!

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): 6/17/16

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? First time!

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 6 months

    How did you tell your significant other (SO)? When he got home from work, I just told him, "it looks like I'm pregnant!" His whole face lit up and we hugged it out. 

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: **Trigger warning: loss mentioned** I suffered a blighted ovum and natural miscarriage in January. We are cautiously optimistic at this point but with each passing day I feel more excited. I scheduled my first appointment this morning and it's starting to feel really real. We're waiting until after the appointment to decide when to start telling people. Other than that...we live in the Seattle area, have a yellow lab, a black cat and a couple chickens. I love to read, ski, drink wine (sigh) and spend time with our friends and family. Very excited to start participating on this board!

Won't be fun being sick and having a little one that likes to be carried around and played with alot! @aawalz13
  • stimated Due Date (EDD): June 5 2016 (I may be very wrong and it might be any time around june)

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Just had my first June 22 so he will be 4 months on Thursday

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? We weren't trying just came as a surprise to both of us

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? Just came out with the test and showed it to him . I had to take 3 to believe it myself!

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I am very nervous to be pregnant with a little one but I'm not the first or last so hopefully everything will be good and I get through it.
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):
    June 17, 2016. 3 weeks until my first OB appointment to confirm due date

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    Baby #1

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    I went off BC in July (while on our honeymoon) and started charting. Sept was the first month of actual trying and hubby's super sperm (his words not mine) did their job. Still in shock that it worked on the first go around.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I took a test Thursday night when he was a work, and then Friday went to target to get baby booties, more tests and a daddy prep book. When I got home from work I told him I had a present for him, he opened the bag, pulled out the test , looked at me and said "already?" I think he was just as surprised as I was, we are beyond excited.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I am so excited about this new journey and life transition.
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):
    June 24th for now. I have a feeling that will change after my first appointment.

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    This will be baby number 3

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    We weren't. I was on the mini pill and took it every day.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I just told him I was four days late and he said "no" and laughed knowing what was coming next.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I'm happy to be here but also sad that this will be my last pregnancy. But at least this time I know it will be the last and I can revel in every little bit of it.

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): 
    - June 18th (I'm a gemini myself!)

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number?
    - Yes! Not my first pregnancy, though.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    - We weren't, really. Fate is a funny thing.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    - I woke him up before I went to work and told him I knew why I had been feeling so off lately. It was shock to say the least.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I am incredibly nervous as I am an extremely high risk pregnancy so it is hard to really enjoy the idea at this point. Hopefully all will change after my first appointment this Friday.

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    This will be my 1st but I have three great step-kiddos (14, 12, and 9)!

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? Stopped Nuvaring in April. Had really wacky cycles until August and September. So, two?

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? The 'ole hot dog buns in the oven bit. Not too original but he was stoked, and thought it was funny because they happened to be frozen. Shows how much forethought I put into that!!

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I am so incredibly excited to be here but it still seems so surreal. I also consider myself even luckier because I work as a school psychologist so this baby's EDD is right at the beginning of summer break which is perfect!

    How long were you trying to conceive - Not at all trying to conceive this was a total surprise

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? We were no trying. Total surprise xD

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I told him that I missed my period for this month and he *facepalmed* haha.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: hi, Im Jennifer (26) from Puerto Rico and im married . Working at firstbank. Currently I have a 7 month old girl named Anna and she is our world. I cant believe she is going to be a big sis.
  • EDD: June 19th
    TTC: We weren't. hahaha. No, we'd been trying since we got married five years ago, but after no pregnancy I sort of gave up. I quit my job and started grad school at 33. Then, surprise, I was late for my period (I'm fairly regular), and I was pregnant. The world works in crazy ways.

    I bought my SO a card to tell him, but he walked me home from the train station that night and he could tell something was wrong, so I just burst out crying and told him. Happy, terrified, extremely hormonal crying.


  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):
     Haven't had my first appt yet, but I think June 25th.

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number?
    This is #2. We have a son that will turn 3 in December.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    We tried for 4 months. (Same amount of time as with our first!)

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I just blurted it out after getting a positive at 10dpo. (Also the same as our first.)

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I used to be a hardcore runner and ran until I was 26 weeks with my son. But I've recently fallen off the bandwagon, and mostly get exercise just chasing my kid around now.
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):  June 16, 2016

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number?  First timer! 

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?  Got pregnant on our very first time. Still in shock.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?   I had just gotten home from a week away. My period was five days late by that point but I didn't want to test while I was away. So I got home, took the test without telling him, and then all bets went out the window. I thought I'd do something creative but all I could do in the moment was shout, "GET IN HERE! DOES THAT LOOK LIKE 2 LINES??"

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I write a blog professionally, so I am a very open person, but right now I'm keeping the news to myself! Suddenly I feel very protective of this information. My readers bug me all the time about when i'm going to have a kid, but they're just going to have to wait a little longer! 
    Due with rainbow rainbow rainbow baby on 9/29/17
    It's been a long road- Let's just say that!
