How exciting! :)

Hey Ladies! Happy to be here... this baby has taken awhile to conceive (at least given our track record) so I am REALLY excited!! Congrats to everyone!

Location: the South
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): happily married with two girls, one boy, and three cats (three too many according to my husband)
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): it's gonna be a boy - the 'pencil test' is three for three so I'm a believer
Names you like: we don't tell til we've held our baby and made sure
Birth Plans/Preferences: our last was a home water birth in NY; we are in AL now where homebirth is not legal, so DH wants to drive up to The Farm in TN... we'll see. i want to have a homebirth anyway - i know people, lol

[soso-lynn]

EDD: June 6th
Name: Lynn
Age: 25
Location: Canada
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): Single mother (by choice) of still nursing 5 year old Ella (already in school, it's about time she gets a sibling)

Names you like: not sure yet.
Birth Plans/Preferences: 2nd homebirth, perhaps UC
Anything else you'd like to share: This pregnancy was achieved through meds (femara) and donor sperm after several months of trying with mostly anovulatory cycles so I am still in disbelief. 2 lines mean pregnant though so I guess I'll have to believe it someday.

[MI_Dawn]

EDD: June 6, 2010
Name: Dawn
Age: 39 (40 in Jan '10)
Location: Michigan
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies):
DH: Michael - married 07/00
DD: Autumn, born 10/8/1993 (from previous marriage - lives with her dad)
DS: Blake, born 11/2/1993 (from previous marriage - lives with his dad)
DD: Zoe, born 6/1/2001
DS: Dmitrios, born 7/31/2002
DS: William, stillborn 4/1/2009 at 39 weeks
One furbaby - Sophie, our cocker spaniel
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): BD timing says girl. Honestly, after losing William, it's so hard to say what I want. A girl, so I won't compare? A boy, because I can't imagine not having a boy after losing one? I don't know. My feeling, for some reason, is girl. DH wants a boy. But he always wants a boy! If we have a girl, I'll have to buy all new clothes - oh darn!
Names you like: My favorite part! William was named after my dad, who died of a stroke 6 weeks before my son was stillborn... talk about a double whammy. He originally had a very Greek name, though, and we'll probably continue in that tradition, if DH had anything to say about it!
Birth Plans/Preferences: Eek! I've had 2 HB's and was planning a HB with William, until we couldn't find his heartbeat at a routine prenatal. I'd like to say HB again. I think it will be. But I'm not 100% sure. I'm scared, and will be seeing both an OB and a MW, probably.
Anything else you'd like to share: We have been trying to get pg since we lost William... and I'm so very happy to be expecting this baby. But I'm also anxious and scared in the midst of the hopefulness and excitement... that I get to stay!

[Jen H.]

EDD: June 3, 2010 (though my previous kids were born 7 and 9 days early so I'll likely end up a May mama!)

Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): DH Chris, married 7 years; DS1 Andrew, March 1, 2004; DS2 Cameron, July 19, 2007. (Kitty Hobbes, age 12.)
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): I'm guessing another boy, but a girl would be a wonderful surprise.
Names you like: Don't get me started...
Birth Plans/Preferences: Hoping for homebirth #3!
Anything else you'd like to share: Have been a MDC member for years, but haven't been active since my last son was born. Glad to be back! Congrats to all you other mamas, and special wishes for those expecting after losses.

Names you like: thinking. I LOVE the name Otis, but my DH hates it.
