How long have you and your H/SO been together? 13 years as of this past weekend! We'll be married for 10 years next June.
How'd you meet? In college, through my BIL, who was sort of like a big brother to me. Now he really is.
How's your SO feeling about your BFP? We're both tentatively optimistic and happy. If it's twins, though, he'll freak.
What are you looking forward to seeing your SO and LO do the most? I love seeing our eldest sleep in his arms, so looking forward to that a second time around. It just softens DH so much, he's a bit of a hedgehog so it's nice to see him just cuddle up gently with our kid.
How long have you and your H/SO been together? Almost 20 years.
How'd you meet? At a new year's eve party my aunt dragged me t because her husband was in hospital and she didn't want to go alone.
How's your SO feeling about your BFP? Thrilled but scared. Because of our history we are being optimistic but realistic about our chances with this one. But he has always been the one pushing for a second.
What are you looking forward to seeing your SO and LO do the most? He is such an amazing father to DD so just more of that. Just seeing how she has him wrapped around her little finger is great. I love seeing him get bossed around by the little ones:)
How long have you and your H/SO been together? -We've been together for 14yrs and married almost 6.
How'd you meet? -We were in high school and I just started my first job at a local grocery store. He came in with this Ole Miss hat and a big goofy smile. I remember going home and telling my mom about this really hot guy that came through my line ha! He started coming in every Sunday after that even if it was just to buy a pack of gum. Finally after 2 months he got the courage to ask me for my number. He called me when I got off work and we've been together ever since.
How's your SO feeling about your BFP? -He's super nervous. Once we have our first appt and see everything is OK he'll be completely stoked. He's been wanting another baby for the last year now.
What are you looking forward to seeing your SO and LO do the most? -Seeing them nap together and watching him babywear in public! There's nothing sexier than a man with a baby! 😍 😍 😍

@foodislove my H is a pretty rough looking dude with his long beard and bald head that's constantly covered with a bandana. So I totally get it softening him up.

How's your SO feeling about your BFP? Nervous and scared but slowly getting more excited. I'm hoping the first ultrasound will help. We started trying when we did because we thought it would take a while (it didn't!) so I think he planned on having more time to figure a bunch of career choices. We aren't exactly in the place we wanted to be career wise when we had a kid but we've also been waiting for many many years to get there. Finally we just decided that having a family is more important than having everything perfectly lined up.
What are you looking forward to seeing your SO and LO do the most? At first definitely cuddle. As the child gets older probably them spending time together in the garage fixing cars and building stuff which is what my husband loves to do in his spare time.

@mamahmh2 Oh yes to skin to skin. SO kept wanting to do it with our first and for various reasons it never happened. So I am for sure going to make it happen this time. Thank you for reminding me of this!
So apparently we met the first time at our entrance placement exams for our Master's Degree. It was a small program so there were only 8 or so of us in the room. My future husband was sitting next to me however all my attention was focused on the guy who was on my other side that I thought was cute (turns out he was gay so while we were great friends clearly that romantic relationship never went anywhere!). I suppose I was wearing a somewhat low cut top and my husband claims he spent a good portion of the test admiring the view (he's a foot taller than I am so he had a good angle). Anyways fast forward to a few days later we both happened to be in the computer lab at the same time. I was looking up half marathon information as I planned on running one soon. In an attempt to make conversation with me my DH glanced at my computer screen, saw the running websites, and proceeded to ask me about them (he was a distance runner in HS). Well I had NO memory of meeting him a few days before so I just thought he was a creepy stranger looking at my computer screen. That opinion remained for a week or two until we had an assignment due in a class together and he ended up saving my butt on it and totally helped me get it done in time. After that we were inseparable best friends for two years before we finally started dating!
