@allen4tl oh nice, birthday twins! I definitely want my kids to be able to have their "own" day, even if they are close together. Plus I wasn't crazy about a 4/20 baby, haha (she was 10 days past her due date) and I don't know what it would mean to have two! I am loving the stage she's in now. I'm hoping having a sibling close in age will be a good thing
Hi @mountainsmama! I also have an "A16" baby who came ten days late and turned into an M16 baby. I wasn't very active on the bmb but it's nice to see some old bmb neighbors!
Hello Moms and Moms-to-be!! I live in MA, expecting my 2nd child 4/6/18 (4 days before my bday)!! My daughter is 6yrs old now (will be 7 this November)! First time on the bump, my sister recommended and I can already see why! I'm so sorry to see so many of you struggling and having delt with losses but it is inspiring to see you all here speaking openly and honestly about it so we can all support each other!! ❤️❤️❤️
Go Blue! Our 18 yo (my stepson) was accepted and starts in a few short weeks! We stayed in Ann Arbor in June during his orientation. So excited for him!

Updating my due date! The first one was based on LMP but when we went back and looked, i ovulated day 27. I got my BFP 8dpo!! My first two betas came back right in line with that so until an ultrasound, looks like my EDD is around April 13.
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
@sadieb13 That's awesome! I absolutely Ann Arbor. He will have a great experience there and probably won't want to leave. I worked for UM for 4 years after graduating and I would go back in a heartbeat!
From Boston, FTM. EDD 4/8/18. DH was on deployment for the last year and he just got back this month, and bam! We had been trying for about 6 months pre-deployment so I am totally shocked and elated!
Another FTM in Boston. EDD is 4/1 according to O date (TCOYF/BBT charter). I have long, crazy irregular cycles and we thought TTC would take forever but we got lucky on our 2nd try so this is still a huge shock (fx). Found out 7/20 at 10DPO so I'm 5w4d.
Currently trying to quell my nausea and keep myself from peeing on sticks (why). Dog-mom to a 5yo Frenchie, fan of all the tacos and margs (RIP), wannabe world traveler with DH. Excited to be here and go through all this craziness with everyone!
I really can't believe I'm pregnant again, but I'm going along with it and pretending it's actually happening...
I'm a STM due 4/7/18. Got my BFP on Sunday, 7/30 (totally forgot my period was due 7/29!), and I carry my pee stick everywhere for when I need a reality check!!! I have a sweet rainbow baby boy who will be 1 on August 15th. That's right! I'll have 2 under 2! It took 3 years of battling male factor infertility to conceive my son. My very first pregnancy didn't come until 2.5 years of TTC and ended at 7 weeks, but my pregnancy with my son was perfect. In fact, he was 8 days overdue! We are still proudly and happily breastfeeding, which makes it extra shocking that I conceived only 11 months postpartum, on only my 2nd regular cycle! Sooo, I'll have been continuously pregnant and/or breastfeeding since November 2015, and well into 2019 I'm sure! I just can't wrap my head around it.
Hubby and I have been married for 6 years this October. I'm 26 years old and work as an x-ray tech (meaning I have to declare my pregnancy at early at work for safety) but trying to be a WAHM after waiting so long for my babies. We have a dog and 2 cats and are moving the crew from SoCal to Upstate NY by October--even more of an undertaking now with Baby 2 on the way!
@RadMomma0815 - welcome. My first two were 2u2 (19 months apart) and now the second two will be 17 months apart -- meaning we're just barely missing 3u3. You got this.

The term "3u3" immediately gives me a visceral reaction. Clearly my brain has not reconciled the idea yet. Maybe sometime around week 38 or 39....

@bettyvonsomethingstein - GIRL I KNOW. I'm just pretending that it's something happening far off in the future and everything is rainbows and butterflies.
@RadMomma0815 Wow we have a lot in common! I'm a STM, my baby boy will be 1 on August 6th so they will be 20 months apart, 2 under 2, and hubby and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary on October 22!
FTM here with a due date of April 1. We got a BFP at home on 7-22 and it was confirmed at the dr.'s office on 7-24. My husband and I have been married for 9 years and have been battling infertility for the past several years. In the past year and a half, I've done 3 rounds of clomid and ovidrel paired with IUIs, and two rounds of injectables (follistim and ovidrel) paired with IUIs, as well as many rounds of OPKs and timed intercourse. This time around was a follistim/ovidrel/IUI combination. I just turned 37 on 7-26, so I am super nervous that everything will go ok! I am a teacher, so I'll be starting back to work full time soon. It's a busy time of year!
Heyo! Just got a verrry faint bfp today at 10 dpo. Counting it. I have a three year old boy, 8 month old baby girl, and *TW* one boy lost to still birth two years on Friday with an mc after that */TW*. Baby girl is the "rainbow baby" so this one is less nerve wracking, but still, as always, a bit scary. Can't wait to get to know you all! ❤️
Welcome, @CaitlinSchwanke! If that's your real first and last name, I would suggest changing your username to something less revealing. Stranger danger is real!
Hey ladies! I found out over the weekend that my DH and I are expecting our 3rd child in April (obviously ☺)! We have 2 darling little girls and I'm excited for baby number 3 to compete our family. I'm looking forward to this new journey and wish each of you the best during your pregnancies!
This is my third pregancy and child. I have two and five year old boys. I'm so busy with those two that I've hardly had time to think about this pregnancy! But I love the groups of moms I've met on the bump before, so here I am again, haha.
33 year-old FTM here. I am a SMC who conceived with the help of donor sperm, so no details on DH to share. I haven't found Mr. Right yet, so I settled for Mr. Great Genes for Baby-Making! My IUI was on July 14, BFP 9 days later on the 23rd, betas confirming pregnancy on 28th and 31st. EDD of April 6. As my username might suggest, I have a horde of nieces and nephews (some blood, some choice), and have felt a bit "always a bridesmaid" in regards to the LOs in my life, so I'm excited to finally be expecting my own. Another San Diegan here, @mellie5909 and @sweetpea236!
Hey guys I'm 35 and from upstate NY and this makes baby 7 pregnancy 9. I have 4 girls 2 boys. I was on Feb 16 board and everyone was great We were pretty sure we were done but surprise here we are. I had ultrasound and due date is 4-3. I'm nervous and excited. I'm not sure if we will tell anyone because after the 3rd no one really has anything nice to say.
@auntiechelle01, that was my plan if I hadn't met my husband when I did! The mad scientist in me still wistfully dreams of shopping for the perfect genes like that .
Hello everyone! I'm an esthetician from Albuquerque, NM. I got my BFP last week and my DH and I could not be more excited! My EDD is April 4th. I am a FTM!!

Hi ladies! I'm a STM, my DD is 21 months (Nov'15). My DH and I are so excited to give her a sibling and grow our family! My BFP was a few days ago and my EDD is April 10. We had been TTC for a little while so we are thrilled. My first appointment isn't until Aug 29 which feels so far away!! I am a first grade teacher in WA.
