Hi!!! I am not quite sure how the due date clubs work, but I'm excited to be in one! I'm also not quite sure what month I should really join, since my edd is at the end of March. It doesn't seem likely that I'll have a March baby. But, it's certainly possible!

* EDD: March 28
* Sara
* 32
* Portland, OR
* This was both a surprise as well as planned. Our first "try" was in early July, and it managed to take the first time. So two weeks later I've got a + to show for it. I was somehow shocked, even though it was what we were aiming for.
* This will be our second kid.
* I have a husband, a 5 year old son, and a couple of outdoor cats.
* I'm hoping for a girl
* I haven't thought about names yet, even though over the last 5 years I have come across so many that I thought were awesome. Of course I don't remember a single one of them now.
* We had a hospital birth with our first son. I have only researched my other options so far as noting that our insurance doesn't cover any midwives who practice outside of hospitals, no birth centers, etc. We will probably go with a birth center or home birth this time around, but no details yet.
* My favorite blogs aren't really pregnancy or birth related.
* I'm a working mom, though lucky to be able to keep my schedule at 60%fte. My son is starting Kindergarten in September.

*DH, me, three boys (10, 7, 4) and 1 girl (2)
*I would like a girl, so my daughter can have a sister.
*Boy name = Maximilian Paul Girl name = Lucy Something (Sophia?)
*I'll birth this baby at the same naturally-minded hospital where I birthed the other 4. They have new birthing tub suites!
*I'm a homeschooling mom, and I'm pursing my RN. Yep, busy.

Hey everyone, I am in the February DDC too, but I do not have a true due date yet. I do not remember my last cycle and I'm giving it a good guess and it is right on the line Feb/March. They will be able to tell me better when I have my first ultrasound, I think. It still could be on the Feb/March line though. I could go either way!
