June Roster and Intros - Page 4

[Spinnerette]

Hi Everyone!!

I'm Kaitlin, and I just found out today that I'm pregnant for the very first time! That makes my due date June 13, 2011 according to FF.

We'd been trying for 8-9 cycles and have had some difficult time due to male factor infertility. I had basically given up hope, to the point that I actually threw away a positive IC yesterday before giving it enough time to have both lines develop, because I was so certain that it would be negative.

I'm 22 years old, Canadian, living in Northern Alberta, and I've been married for 3 years to my wonderful husband, Alex, 24. I currently work in a music store, and my husband is a trucker. We just bought our first house this summer and have been really anxious to start our family. I enjoy knitting, reading, drawing and painting, listening to and writing music, good blogs, cooking and collecting records. I hope over the next 9 months to knit many many baby clothes, learn to sew really well on my machine (which languishes as we speak in what will now be the baby's room) and document this journey to the best of my ability by journaling and taking photographs.

So far my symptoms have been chapped lips, exhaustion, increased appetite and the bloated "I ate a really bad burger" feeling in my abdomen.

Life is all kinds of surreal right now, it's not quite sunk in.

I'm really really glad to be here.

Hi ladies!

I'm Laura and my husband and I are expecting our first child June 5, 2011!

We were fortunate to have to try for only three cycles (charting) before getting our bfp at 9dpo this month. I'm excited to be pregnant and looking foward to the journey, but am getting anxious to tell people! Ideally, we'd like to wait until around Thanksgiving to spill the beans, but it will be hard keeping the news from my mom that long.

I just found my midwife practice and have a first appointment at 8 weeks. Time is dragging!

Looking forward to sharing the ride with all of you. Best wishes and congratulations to all!

Hey everyone (already a big club!) I'm new to MDC, and new to TTC, and just lucked out the second month we tried. I took a test this morning, and was 95% happy to see the two lines. The other 5% was due to inconvenience - my EDD is June 13th, and my husband usually leaves for work at the start of May and is gone until the start of August. So we'll have to figure something out. I expected it to take longer, so I figured we should start trying early . . . ah well, the first of many surprises being a parent will bring.

I've wanted to have babies since I was 22 (eight years ago) but didn't think it made sense yet. My husband is a couple of years younger than me, and became ready a couple of years ago. Then we were waiting for our circumstances to be good . . . and now here we are! I don't know how active I'll be in the thread, but I'm excited at the idea of having a community going through it at the same time as me.

[Michaels-Mommy]

Welcome everyone!!!

I had a u/s last week that was giving me a June due date now, so can you move me to late may/early June? I'll have another U/s next week so I will hopefully know more then, the last one only showed a sac.(We were looking for ectopic)

[Daisy420]

Wanted to say congrats to everyone !! Its great we have all levels of experience here, from expecting your 1st through your 8th ! I'm sure it will be a wonderful resource for 1st timers to have BTDT pg mommies around LOL!!

[gwerydd]

hello,
i am steph. I have 2 kids, a 3.5 year old girl and a boy 20 months. i'm naking so this post may be disjointed. I found out on friday that we are expecting #3. I'm really excited as i didn't think i would get pregnant this month. I was all set to get blood work done to make sure everything was in order. I am planning another home VBAC like I had with my son. I'm due June 9.

Hey everyone, I'm Eva and I'm due with #3 June 15th. I've got two boys Van who is 6 and Ian who is 2.

I'm out. Looks like a had a chemical pregnancy. If I hadn't tested early then I wouldn't have even known. I don't think I'm going to get blood work done to see. I took a preg test and it came up negative. My period that I did have was lighter than what it normally was, but I'm attributing that to that I lost 12 lbs in the past few months.

Blessings to all and you'll probably find me in another due date club next year!

Hello all! I miscarried my first pregnancy at 7 weeks last November and have been trying so hard to conceive again since December... just when I was giving up hope, it took! I'm 5 weeks in and have my fingers crossed so tightly that everything goes well this time. Good to have a group like this!

Edit: Haha, I better change my sig!

Hi Everyone!

I'm Kimberly, and I got a very surprising BFP today. From my estimate, it looks like my due date is June 12th.

DH and I have been TTC for 6 months or so, and we had actually just decided in the last week to stop trying and for me to get an IUD put back in. We're in the process of deciding to make a big cross-country move in the next couple of years and finishing up some schooling before then, and it all seemed like it would be much, much easier with only one kid. We hardly had sex at ALL last month -- and to be honest, not anywhere close to when I was ovulating. Seriously, this must be some kind of super sperm that lasted in there. I can't freakin' belive I'm pregnant. I took a test today because of a few weird symptoms I've been having that also came up with DD -- felt like I had a urinary tract infection, coffee started tasting TERRIBLE and the worst, crankiest PMS ever. I was so shocked to see two lines on a Dollar Store test that I ran to buy a digital and yup, pregnant.

So -- DH is excited, I'm excited but also in shock and well, here I am. Happy to be here with you all!

My name is Grace and I'm due with #4 mid June. This was our first planned pregnancy so we're very excited. I am a student midwife and this will be our first homebirth and unassisted birth, so I'm VERY EXCITED for that!

[slseiswirth]

Hi all! I found out last week that we are expecting our third sometime around June 10, though I typically go pretty late. We are just coming off of a miscarriage from last cycle so we are a bit nervous about this pregnancy. My numbers are a bit low, but ok for now. We are doing progesterone in the mean time so hopefully that helps a bit. DS #1 was a c/s due to him being breech. WIth DS #2 we successfully VBAC! We are planning a homebirth for this one and are very excited!

[*farmergirl*]

Hi looks like I'm joining you all! This will be our 3rd -we have two boys 3 1/2 and 1 1/2. I believe I'm due in early June- an online calculator says June 5th.

[redeyedvireo]

Hey again! I'd rather say I'm due in late June, please. Thanks!

[kawa kamuri]

Can you change my EDD to the 10th, please? Thanks for putting this together!

[klinn#3]

Hello, my name is Kinsey. I'm pregnant with #3. My due date is June 1st!! Glad to be here with all the June mommies!!

[Mamatoabunch]

I am Annabelle. Mom to 10 and expecting our 11th the middle of June. So far all of mine were born before my due date. We are a homeschooling family and devout Catholics. This will be my 9th HBAC and 8th UC. My first born twins were born by c/s, baby A breech. I will be UP again as I have my last 6 pregnancies. My dh, Jeff, and I have been married for 18 years. All my kids know, I told them the minute the test was positive. We are all very excited!

Oh I forgot to add I am 36 and dh is 40, although I turn 37 next month.
