Hi ladies!  I really appreciated being part of the March 2010 DDC and am glad to be joining you. 

*Name: Liz

*EDD: March 22

*Age/ age when the baby will be born: 30/31

*How long it took you to get your BFP: 1st cycle not preventing

*What number child is this for you: Second

*Family (partner, other children, pets): DH, DD who is 17 months, and our wonderful dog

*Birth plans/preferences: Had a waterbirth in the hospital last time- hope for a similar birth

*Thoughts / anything else you you would like to share: I'm a little daunted by the close age gap between my firstborn and this baby- there's family history of secondary infertility so we stopped preventing thinking that it might take a while... and then it didn't... But I'm also very excited to give my daughter a sibling.  Still feeling cautious about MC because so many of my IRL friends have dealt with MC recently...but I'm feeling VERY nauseous so hoping that all is well.  

[GEEKLOVE]

*Birth plans/preferences:  VBAC at a local hospital with a Midwife is where we're leaning. Although I love my OB, she can't do a VBAC at the hospital where she delivers.
