However currently working full time for Lush cosmetics (wanted a bit of a break from kitchens, however I now find myself missing them greatly).
I worked for Lush as a second job for a couple years and quit when I became pregnant as one job was enough to handle!! Sounds like you'd have fun working in the lush kitchen!!
Eva-Born 12/28 EDD 1/11 I live in Northern VA. I'm a FTM and just took a new title as SAHM...I was an Executive Assistant for the past 3 years. Would love to get pregnant again ASAP for baby #2 (I'm already 32 so time is not on my side) and most likely that will be our last.
Bennett was born Christmas Day- Due date was New Years Day. STM- My daughter just turned 2 the day before Valentine's. We are definitely done at 2 kids. Had a tubal ligation 1 mo. ago! I live in WI and I'm in banking. Just sent in my final paperwork to be a notary as well!

Funny you say that! I actually applied a few years ago to an MIT position for the fresh room in Vancouver. I did really well sadly they didn't know how to get around the us citizen working in Canada thing and they needed to fill the position. I've been there going on 4 years this July. (Wish pay was a little better) hopefully you stocked up before you left for pregnancy stuff! Or at least get a little love still from a friend in the shop. I know I'll cry the day my discount is gone.

Violet Evelyn born 1/22. She is our amazing rainbow baby! We live in a mountain town in Colorado, have two dogs, one cat, love rafting, yoga, skiing, and traveling.
Nadine 1/19 (EDD 1/29) 2 big bothers welcomed this sweet baby girl (6 and 3yrs old) CPA, Public Accounting, TX
Lurker from February 2016, we have a Nadine as well! You don't see the name often. We named her after SO's late grandmother. My EDD was 2/13, I gave birth 2/10.
Started on the trying to get pregnant board and stuck around ever since even though baby was born in dec. The Jan 2016 board has gotten me through the fears of being pregnant for the first time and a difficult delivery via c-section and post partum. Thanks ladies!
Thorn Forrest born 1/19 at 42wks! EDD 01/05, failed vbac, rainbow baby. Central Va
I'm a sahm stm. I'm a crafter, maybe in a few years I'll have time to paint and embroider again. Camping is my family's thing. My older older dd is 4. 2 kiddos is plenty for us. My Dh has a residential tree removal co. I started out on the misscarrge board then moved pgal broad. I feel lucky to be here. This is my go to for late nights.
Poppy (short for Penelope) was born 2/10, due on 1/29. I'm a FTM and my wife and I plan for her to carry our second child someday. My recovery is awful and I would rather not have another child than carry another one if it didn't work out for DW to get pregnant.
I'm from NYC and now live in Northern California. I work at a startup and DW is a PhD student.
I started lurking a year ago on TTGP after 8 months of no success. I've been pretty active on J16 since I got my positive last May.
Married DW 08.2013; AI 2x; IUI 6x; IUI #7 05.2015; DD born 2.2016 ; Reciprocal IVF FET #1 on 11.18.2020
we are first-time parents and live in Philadelphia. I am a psychotherapist and husband is an attorney. I was more active on the board prior to delivery, but I am getting back into it now that I have my feet back under me a bit.
im not sure about more babies (can't even go there yet). I'm surprised to see there are 2 other baby Violets on this board. I had no idea it was a popular name!
We have a daughter who is 5 and I plan to have another. My SO and I both come from large blended family's I have 5 siblings and he has 9. I personally want my kids to have at least a couple siblings since I loved it.
We live in Michigan. I have a master's in accounting and am studying for the cpa exam. Currently work in financial aid at a university.
I'm 25 and my SO and I have been together for over 8 years
I mostly lurk but have started to break out of my shell.
Felix born 1/22, EDD 1/29 FTM- I originally thought I'd be due in Feb., so I hung out on that board for awhile while pregnant...but I have been lurking here for some time (especially during those lovely night feedings).
I am a school psychologist and my husband is an environmental consultant. We live in central PA and have been married for 3 years (together for 10).
Idris Michael born - 01/06/16 , Edd-01/21/16. This is baby number 3 we have a 4 year old DS and 14 month old DD. Life is very busy right now but DH would like one more I'm not sold and it won't be for now. I'm in retail management and we live in Ontario Canada.
Griffin was born 12/16/15 EDD was 1/24/16- No rhyme or reason as to why I ruptured. Everything looked good on my end and baby's end so we are going with "He just wanted to come early"
I am a FTM and DH and I may be 1 and done with Griffin. With him being preemie, I'd be considered high risk next time and would receive a shot starting at week 16 through week 37. I had such a great pregnancy and even birth despite him being early, I'm not sure I want to take my chances again. We'll see though. It'll be 2-3 years before we decide on another.
I live in Upstate NY
I am a Special Education Teacher. I work with students who are Emotionally Disturbed. It is a very challenging position, but I am happy with my job and I love my students. DH works as a welder in a steam plant for one of the biggest college universities in our area.
I also have a three year old step daughter. We might try for another one but this might be once and done as I'm 33. I work in life insurance and live in central CT.
FTM ( rainbow baby) in Massachusetts. We're likely going to start on number 2 sometime in the next 6 months and then we'll be done. I haven't been posting as much lately but I'm always here!
Bennett was born Christmas Day- Due date was New Years Day. STM- My daughter just turned 2 the day before Valentine's. We are definitely done at 2 kids. Had a tubal ligation 1 mo. ago! I live in WI and I'm in banking. Just sent in my final paperwork to be a notary as well!
I have a Bennet, and we are from WI also! Where about in WI are you? #cheesehead
Veda Oaklynn- born 1/16 EDD 1/20 FTM. my husband and I are from WI but recently moved to TX last May. I'm a dental hygienist and he works in management. I've been a lurker since joining the bump but you ladies have gotten me through and kept me sane during my pregnancy and this post partum time. As many have said, I especially love reading this board during late night feedings
Allyson, born 1/12 on her EDD. I'm a FTM. We live outside Atlanta, Georgia. I am a student affairs manager and adjunct instructor for first year seminars at a college. I am mostly a lurker but really enjoyed this board throughout pregnancy. I do hope to maybe write in a little more now that LO is here!
Juliet, born 1/29 via unplanned c-section. I'm a born and raised Vancouver Island (British Columbia) girl and I plan the same for this LO.
I also have a 12 year old stepson who lives with us full time (his mom isn't really in the picture.) But I didn't know him until he was 9 so I'm really looking forward to experiencing the younger years with DD.
My fiance is 10 years older than me and fast approaching 40, so this is likely to be our one and only child together.
Bruce born 01/22, EDD 01/28. First of hopefully many babies. We're hoping I'll be pregnant again by the time I go back to work next January. We live in Alberta, Canada, I am 29 and an RN in the emergency department and DH is 30 and an electrician.
