Hello!  I'm finally joining.  I've been reading the forums for over a year. Last year I had an early miscarriage, so took some time to recover before trying again.  It made me a bit wary of announcing things too early.

* Location: Chicago
* How long it took to you to get your BFP: 4 months
* What number child is this for you: 1
* Family: 1 husband, 2 cats
* Baby's gender: No idea.  My instinct is boy, DH says girl.
* Names you like: Waiting for gender to decide
* Birth plans/preferences: Midwife at nearby hospital
* Anything else you'd like to share: My birthday is in April, too, so I'll be 30 before my due date.

I'm not ignoring this thread I promise! Lol here's my situation....I mainly get on here and use my iPad for my Internet needs. I can get on my laptop, but only when someone around my neighborhood has their wifi unlocked...which is rarely. For some reason I can't update this on the iPad bc it won't scroll down inside the box...confusing, not even going to try to explain. Lol whenever I can get wifi on my laptop will get on this thread!

Guess I'll add myself to this:

EDD; 04/03/11

Name: Geist ;)

What number of child: Second

Family: Husband and son, so far :)

Gender: Girl. After this pregnancy, we can stop caring what we have!

Names: We've settled on some, but we never share our names before the birth. Everyone gets to know the gender, no one gets to know the names :)

Birth plans: Home water birth with a midwife :) DS was a water birth at a birth center and this time I'm hoping to spare myself 30 min in the car while in transition!

It's nice to see some more homebirth moms here.:-)
