It's like going from man-to-man defense to zone defense.

Anything else you'd like to share: This is my 3rd pregnancy in a year, after two 1st tri losses, so it's a huge leap of faith to even join a DDC right now. I'm out of my wits w/ fear, but I'm trying to relax and enjoy the moment.

Hey, no kidding! My dad moved there when I was about 5 and I lived there part time through my teenage years. Back then the area I was in (near where Kamiak was built) was considered Everett. Too funny, considering how young that town is. When did you move away?

[lawschoolmama]

Hi everyone!!! I am so so so excited to be here. Congrats to all of us!

EDD: Very late June/very early July
Name: lawschoolmama
Age: 28
Location: Atlanta, GA
Family (partner, other children, etc): Married to DH for just over four years; mommy to DD, who just turned two last week
Gender preferences/inklings: No idea! We'd be so happy with either one. If it's a girl, then I think it will be special for DD to have a sister close in age to her. Plus, she can wear DD's clothes that I've saved. If it's a boy, then we'll have one of each, which would also be fun! Plus, we can buy new clothes then
Names you like: Boy: Andrew Elijah. Girl: No clue yet!
Birth Plans/Preferences: I'd like to try a water birth and hypnobabies this time.
Anything else you'd like to share: I'm still nursing DD, and I'm not sure whether I'm going to try to nurse throughout pregnancy and beyond. I'm thinking of taking it one day at a time, and listening to my DD and my body for my cues. I am thinking I'm going to try to fully night wean soon though--need more rest right now!

[jeannineb]

Hello and congratulations to all!

My edd is June 30 through July 3, I thought it would make more sense to start here instead of back in the June club that is already so established. Sooo... here I am!

Name: Jeannine
Age: 37
Location: Illinois
Family: Very newly-wed to DH, T!!! and 5yo DD from previous marriage L
Gender preferences/inklings: none yet
Names we like: lots, too many actually!
Birth plans/preferences: DD's birth was a hospital waterbirth with a great midwife, who had sadly left our area. Hoping the new midwives in the practice are as good. I would love to have another easy, quick waterbirth just like DD's.

Anything else you'd like to share: I am soooo happy about this pregnancy. I have had one 2 previous losses (before my DD) so I am a bit cautious about getting too excited, but hopefully this baby will stick too!!

[canadianmummy]

EDD: July 3
Name: Helen
Age: 31
Location: Alberta, Canada
Family: Hubby Tim (33), DD Hannah (7 1/2), DS Evan (4), DS Joseph (20 months)
Gender preferences/inklings: We have a girl and 2 boys so we would like another girl to even things out!! But of course we'd be thrilled either way
Names you like: Girl: Elisabeth Anne - that's been our girl's name for a long time!! No boy ideas yet.
Birth Plans/Preferences: We are planning our second glorious midwife attended home water birth
Anything else you'd like to share: I'm excited but it all seems rather surreal right now!! We were planning #4 but didn't expect to get pg right away!!

[livelovelaugh]

So nice to be here - though stll in complete shock! Just got a BFP yesterday when we were told we only had 1%-2% chance of getting pregnant due to DH's low sperm count after radiation. Go figure! Excited to meet you all - here is a bit of my info!

EDD: 7/2/10
Age: 36
Location:New England
Family (partner, other children, etc): DH (35), DS (5) DD (2)
Birth Plans/Preferences: Natural VBAC with Midwife (Won't be easy around here...)

[Yaliina]

I might end up in this thread rather than the June one- this will be my third birth, and the previous two were each two weeks late! My dad says I was born late & I haven't caught up yet- I guess it's true!


EDD: June 26 / 27 (depending whether I put in O date or last MS date)
Name: Elise
Age: 30
Location: Hampton Roads, Virginia
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): DH, DS 12/24/05 and our bully baby, Moses
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): Before getting the two pink lines, I was thinking pink thoughts hardcore, but now I resolutely don't care either way.
Names you like: Lydia Anabelle for a girl; Oren or Orien or ???... maybe Robert as a middle name for a boy???
Birth Plans/Preferences: HBA2C (I hope I hope I hope I hope)
Anything else: I really started to feel pregnant yesterday and today- I sat here looking at cloth diapers online & fell asleep at 8:00 (very early for me)!

[livelovelaugh]

Maelya Moon - I have a Lila who is 2 is as well! : )
