Also, welcome!
Ages (you and SO): me: 34 (today) him: 35
How many months have you been TTC?: 2 (I know it's soon, but I've been waiting for this moment for many years, so I'm eager to have other people to follow going through the journey)
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Last month we made the decision so we were quite casual about all of it. This month, I purchased OPKs, just started temping this week, and also started a pre-natal (Conception). We'd like more than one child, if possible, so we decided we needed to get serious about it sooner rather than later. I also had a LEEP procedure in 2011, so I've always been a little nervous for when this time came.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I can't technically use the "DH" acronym as we're not married. We just bought a house because we felt it was most practical in our current situation and city. We then we had to decide whether we do the wedding and wait for kids or just jump in. After a come-to-Jesus moment with a friend, we realized that window is closing faster than we imagined so we're being "practical" again and just going for a family. We don't know how long it will take, given our ages, and we don't want to regret not trying earlier.
We both work in marketing/advertising—him as a strategist, me as a strategist/writer. I'm a vegetarian and we both love checking out new restaurants and breweries around town. He's a runner, I do yoga. I also love a good podcast and book. Plus, we both shamelessly like reality tv, haha. We have two yorkies who are getting up there in age, but we love them regardless of their geriatric, stinky state.
I promise to try to lurk more and post less, but I wanted to say hi to everyone so you at least know who is out there lurking.
And @kels0091, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

your situation sounds a bit similar to myself in that my bf and I bought a house together and instead of doing the marriage thing decided to jump right into kids.
Thank you for your kind words, the women here are absolutely wonderful.
As long as you don’t start any posts (like a fresh post) about your day or pictures about anything that comes out of your body (unless it’s a real legit unicorn horn) we won’t have an issue with you jumping in on the dailies.
EDIT - words are hard
