[Isaac'sMa]

Hi!

I'm Laura. DH Jay. We're both 30.
Mama to 16 month-old Isaac, still nursing like a champ :)
EDD 11/05, planning a HB, first MW appt. next Monday.

Let's see, what else...We're living with the in-laws right now, working on our new (to us) house. Can't wait to move in. We haven't told the ILs yet, but I feel like we should since I had a m/c (#2) last November and will be seeing my MW sooner than I would have otherwise. (MIL looks after DS while I work 2 days/week, have appts, etc)

[Mama Bear]

Hello! I am Christine - 26. Been married to my dh for 7 years. We have one little boy - almost 2.5 yrs old (who self-weaned around 2 yrs old). I had a waterbirth with ds and will be planning the same with this one. We are still in shock! :lol But are very excited! I think my edd is 11/4

[lizlett]

Hi. I'm Liz. I have lurked on MDC for a while and I am excited to get in and participate. I am 27, married to Tim, and still nursing Henry (16 months). I just got my positive today and my EDD is 11/3.

I recently moved from the US to Norway and I am a little nervous about going through a pregnancy and birth in a new country, completely different healthcare system, and in a new language.

[mykidsrock]

Name/age: Konny 27, married to Danny 31 for almost 10 years (In May)

Any other children/ages: Danielle is 8, Dominic is 4, Vanessa is 2, and Ava is 1

EDD: Nov 1st- pretty accurate, I KNOW the day I ovulated. :wink

Any other thoughts: I could care less about gender, but I hope for another boy because my son would love a little brother!!
We are planning another UC birth- likely in water again, although I guess it depends where I am when baby starts to come out, lol!!!

[StacieM]

My name is Stacie and I made 30 in December.

I have 4 living children and one angel - ages are in my siggy.

My EDD based on ovulation date is 11/5/07. I just got my "dark enough to convince my husband" BFP yesterday!

Any other thoughts: Wishing everyone here a H&H9! Oh yes and we're hoping for a boy too to even out numbers, but either will be great! Just want to know baby is healthy and happy. We tried for a boy (my chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/Stace)), but don't plan on finding out gender until birth.

[Momma Aimee]

I just got my "dark enough to convince my husband" BFP yesterday!

[StacieM]

I'm so excited to be here & hope I get to stay!

I hope we both get to stay. Let us know how your bloodwork goes! Also as far as furbabies, we have 6. :Sheepish:

Age- 22

EDD- November 7
Thoughts-We are very excited!

[LittleBrownDog]

Hi, I'm Leigh, 29 years old (will be 30 in September!) My DD Allison turned 2 in January and we've been TTC since late fall, so I was very excited to get my BFP today!!!! :D My EDD is sometime in early November- DD just weaned in the last month so my cycle was still a little wonky- Based on a 28 day cycle my EDD would be November 5, but I think I ovulated a little earlier in the month.

DD was born in a hospital, with CNM attending, and it was an all-around good experience. It is a WHO certified Baby Friendly hospital, so all of my wishes (rooming in, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, delayed cord-cutting, etc) were respected and encouraged. We are, however, considering a free-standing birth center this time. We're touring the local one this Wednesday, and they also do home births, so that is still on the table. DH is very resistant to doing anything differently than last time, since it went so well. We'll see! :D

[welldone]

I have a 3-year-old Ellery.
Cool! We thought we were being all unique, but have meet a couple more kids named "Ellery" since she was born.

[Apryl Srissa]

Count me in! Three faint tests so far, dh still not positive that I'm right though. We already have 3 boys, ages 11, 3 and 1 1/2. So we're kinda hoping girl, but will be happy either way. I'm 30, but will be 31 when this one arrives. My name is Apryl, or Srissa. We are considering a home birth this time around too.

Nice to meet you all!

[amylizpat]

name: Amy, age 30, DH is Eric, age 31

Any other children/ages: Noah (10), Ella (9), and Asa (6 months!!!)

EDD: Nov 6th

Any other thoughts: Just got my BFP this morning. Still is shock! We knew we wanted a 4th, we just didn't expect it this soon. Asa is still nursing like a champ, so I plan on tandem nursing. I'm an at home daycare provider, so this should be a very challenging (but fun) 9 months. Holy crap, we're having another one!

[monocyte]

Name: Kelli, DH Bill
age : 31 (32 soon)
Any other children/ages: Sam, he'll be 4 in June, still nursing.
EDD: 11/6/07
Any other thoughts: I am sooo hoping for a :sticky this time around!! Just got a BFP (and it was no doubt positive!!) last night.
2 mc's last year, just started with a RE for testing to see why I loose, and we were NOT suppose to get pg this month bc of all the testing that still needs to be done :lol: Go figure!

And if it does stick, we will be hb'ing.

[Apryl Srissa]

name: Amy, age 30, DH is Eric, age 31

Any other children/ages: Noah (10), Ella (9), and Asa (6 months!!!)

EDD: Nov 6th

Any other thoughts: Just got my BFP this morning. Still is shock! We knew we wanted a 4th, we just didn't expect it this soon. Asa is still nursing like a champ, so I plan on tandem nursing. I'm an at home daycare provider, so this should be a very challenging (but fun) 9 months. Holy crap, we're having another one!

That sounds just like us! We've been bouncing between Holy crap, and wow, how exciting. I was just getting used to the idea, till we went to the mall today. I saw all the clothes I was going to buy when done loosing weight, so got a bit bummed. But we always knew we'd want 4 at some point. And hey, why not get all the lack of sleep and diapers out of the way ? lol

I did look at a house we'd all fit into today, not perfect, but at least a start

[gwinna]

I'm in too!

Name: Gwen
Age: 34
Other kids: Oliver (6) and Beatrice (almost 4) - both born at home
EDD: 11/4/2007

Just got my first really dark BFP last night, it still hasn't really set in... I had been pretty sure I was pregnant, and then the morning after getting my first faint BFP, DS walked into my bedroom and declared "Momma, I really want another baby". Blew me away. Still haven't told the kids yet - they're going to be *so* excited!

[Heather Marie]

I love that I have a group a girls to chat with about this stuff! I look forward to getting to know all of you over the next 9 months!

Name: Heather
Age: 28
Any other children/ages: This will be our first!
EDD: November 10
Any other thoughts: I am really excited about being pregnant! I am laughing about the DH's who wouldn't take a faint line as a positive - my DH said the exact same thing. On Sunday (9dpo) I took a $tree test and it had a faint line, so we decided to test again on Monday. The same thing on Monday (10dpo) with the $tree test. My DH then insists on going to the drug store to get 3 other brands of tests to try to get a darker line. We did a prego/not prego digital test, a +/- test, and another ll test. They were all VERY positive! LOL!

[Apryl Srissa]

Aren't men silly:lol

I have a bunch of preg tests I got in a coop. First he said he didn't see a line (it was there, but light), then it wasn't dark enough to count. Then after a repeat, it was an expired test (has over a year left, so nope). Then it was a cheap one. So I bought one yesterday. It was the + - kind. And it was not faint either lol

It is just starting to set in a bit, but only barely. Since we don't want to tell the kids till I'm a bit farther, we have only talked 'in code' using phrases that we know they won't get. So I was shocked to hear myself use the word pregnant. I just stopped midsentance and said, oh crap, I'm really pregnant. I guess I really hadn't understood it till then

[HoneyNBenNKids]

My name is Honey
I'm 29
2 monkeys Tyler boy 7 and Rhea girl 6. 9 angels.
One Veggie Dog (we're vegan so...if you're familiar with vegan hot dogs.. ;) ) who is a shepard/husky mix.

We go Monday the 5gh for an ultrasound to see how many are in cause I ovulated from both sides. The RE didn't want us to 'try' but, I was like...both ovaries!>!...we're so having sex.

I'm on progesterone and my due date is November 1...my 30th birthday! :)

Oh, and the RE said he thinks it's twins too! ;)

We're planning a water birth at home and a lotus birth too. I also have a client that is due one day before me! :) She says she dreams I go into labor before she pushes the babe out. I tell you...that'll be on client I have to leave! ;) Cause I'm SOOOO gettin my gentle birth! ;)

I'm so happy to have found this group too!

Hello beautiful women!

I've got one DS who just turned 3 in February - his name is Atticus.

*My brain is just on fire right now with all of the thoughts that logically I know I have quite some time to figure out :lol My main concerns at the moment are keeping the bean and myself healthy, figuring out where I'll deliver and with who (if anyone), and how DD will take this transition in her life. Plenty of other stuff too, but I'd better save some thoughts for us to chat about over the next nine months!

Hi - My name's Christy and I'm 30. My DH is 35 and this will be our first baby. My EDD is 11/16. I don't think I've ever been so happy in my entire life. I skimmed through the list... am I the only first time momma here?

I'm an at home daycare provider, so this should be a very challenging (but fun) 9 months. Holy crap, we're having another one!
Hi! I am a in home daycare provider too! Good luck to you. I hope you have a easy pregnancy. I was so sick with my last one and it made it so hard to keep up with the kiddos.

My name is Cathy and dp is Chad
I'm 22 and Chad is 34
Our dd Madison is 20 months old
Looks like my EDD will be 11/12/07
Any other thoughts: I have been feeling pg for the last few weeks (ever since we DTD I guess). I don't know if it was intuition or the fact that at least 10 of my friends are newly pg and I subconsciuosly wanted to join the club :lol . I'm wondering how nursing will go. My nipples are already sore whenever dd latches on. Many thoughts rushing through my head right now. I took a test this morning (was supposed to get AF yesterday) and the positive line showed up immediately and super bright.

I am not exactly "thrilled" yet to be pregnant again, we were really not planning on having any more...but I know as the pregnancy progresses that I'll change my mind :)

[sparkygirl74]

Shannon, mama to two year old Delaney
I am 32, DH is 33
We are going to be moving cross country when I am 5 1/2-6 months pegnant and staying with the ILs until our house is ready, which should be right around my due date. The only thing I am not happy about is that I won't be able to do all of the things to my new house that I wanted to do before we moved in.
Oh well, it is a small sacrifice. I am soooo excited!

[caeden&connersmom]

Hi, Im Lee.

Im 34 (Will be 35 2 weeks after due date of 11/9)

DH is 40.

We have two DS, 5 & 3. My DH has a 13 y/o son also who doesnt live with us full time.

This is surprise baby! Thankfully we have settled into our new house and are now surrounded by my entire family, so I am excited to have them part of this, as we lived 750 miles away for the first 2.

The only thing that breaks my heart is that my dad won't get to see this one. He died Dec 2005, but had been able to get to know my boys before he was gone.

I'd even decided to stop testing every week until on a whim yesterday mornign I tested, and got 3 bold-faced positives in a row. Another positive this morning!

I am excited to be pregnant again but also apprehensive as to if I've got what it takes to handle 2 kids!

[Undercover Hippie]

I'm a little late joining, but I hope you guys will take me anyway. ;)

I'm Tara (hello to the other Tara on the thread!) and this is baby #3. My EDD is 11/12/07 but my kiddos run late so I'm thinking it may be a Thanksgiving baby. Hopefully no later than that! I have already warned DH that if I'm eating a turkey dinner while still PG I am going to be very, very grumpy!

I have a DS who is 5 1/2 and a DD who is almost 3. DD still nurses every morning but it already hurts me and I notice she is nursing for less time already. :( I work as a doula and midwife's assistant. DD was a HB and I am excited to have another one. But I am still a little :bigeyes about this. I had told DH I definitely wanted another baby and was getting mad at him for being indecisive... then V-Day was 5 days before O and surprise (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/a6360)! We are pregnant! :lol

Nice to meet you all!

[ChiaraRose]

We're due the same day! Thats cool!

Ds came on his due date, so we will see if we can do that again:lol . We also share the same b-day month (April, 13th for me)

HEY EVERYONE!

I am Nicole, I am 26 about to be 27 in May and this is my FOURTH little one. EDD is Nov. 12th but my last 2 have been considerably early so I am just hoping I make it to Nov at all.....I have Emma who was born Nov 28 2003 she is 3 and Elena who was born Nov 28 2004 she is 2 :lol and then we had Quinn this past April 22 of 2006 and now baby #4....we are quite shocked and working on feeling NOTHING but joy....a surprise of sorts.:wink I truly am ecstatic.....Had 3 previous c-sections so my mission now is to figure out what I am going to do birth wise.....homebirth is out as the last 2 babes were in NICU for a while.....I dont know that I will be able to find someone willing to do a VBA3c and frankly, I am nervous about BOTH another section and a natural delivery....we'll see....I have time.....got a feeling this is another girl......

I have been on Mothering for a long time now and still do not know all the abb... What is TTC and the BFT?? Thanks!:o

[Bonawich]

TTC = Trying to Conceive. I don't know about BFT, but BFN and BFP are Big Fat Negative/Positive.

Congrats everyone!

Ok one more IMO and the TW_ one?

[bloomingmomma]

OMG! We saw 2 babies today. I'm working on assimilating the information. Amazed and grateful and freaked out!:twins:

[Dee-Groovy]

Holy cow Bloomingmama congrats! :balloons What made you suspect there was more than one before the u/s?

Mommybytheword IMO means "in my opinion" and TWW means "two week wait" the time between ovulation and your period. There's an abbreviation thread at the top of the TTC forum that may be useful and I'm sure there are more abbreviation threads around. It's confusing when you're just learning the lingo!

Hi! We found out this weekend that we're expecting our second. DS is one year old today. :bouncy I'm Stacy and I'm 32. We are due the first week in November. I'm still nursing my DS and hope to continue, but he seems to be less interested already.

I'm having some m/s, but it really only happens when I don't eat every couple of hours. Clear strong flavors appeal to me (hot and sour soup, yum!) and other stuff like cheese does not.

I never got around to losing my previous baby weight, so I'm starting out 20 lbs. heavier than I wanted to. Ick.

Now off to read the other posts.

[myjulybabes]

Name: Josie
Age: 29
Other children: Birth son Nick, 10, dd Margaret, 7, ds Aidan, 5. No nurslings left for me.
EDD: Nov 18 going by LMP, but I suspect I ovulated early, so could be more like Nov 11.
Thoughts: This was rather a surprise! We had been kinda sorta thinking about maybe TTC starting in June or July. I was tracking my fertility signs, but apparently not quite well enough...or dh has some really tenacious little swimmers. Sorta hoping for a girl, but not really too picky, a boy would be great too. :D

[Baby Makes 4]

I am tentatively checking in here.

My name is Sara
Hubby's name is Randy, we've been married for almost 4 years, madly in love for 9.
We have two sons who are 11 and 20 months. The older one was mine before I met Randy, now he's ours.

Logan was born at home, outside, by moonlight, underwater, into his Daddy's arms on July 2nd, 2005. It was the monst amazing experience of my life and we are hoping for the same this time (except inside, Novmeber is cold!)

We have had multiple miscarriages and our last one was only 4 weeks ago. I was due in October last time and now I am due at the end of November.

Other children: Iris, age 25 months, still nursing (lots).
EDD: Nov. 20th
Thoughts: none, at the moment. Staring into space is strangely fulfilling, these days, and it's all I can do to follow the plot in 'Blueberries for Sal'. I never got over my Nursing Brain, and have now seamlessly acquired Pregnancy Brain. It's very peaceful in here, really.

Thoughts: MUCH wanted and tried for baby. We had a chemical in Jan, and my progesterone level is disgusting, so I hope we can keep it!

[DeChRi]

Hi all! I am Joanna and i'm 28. I have a daughter who is almost 8 from a previous marriage. EDD just changed to 11/14. I have a wonderful SO, named Chris, age 35, who has no bio kids of his own but loves my daugher as his own. My thoughts....this baby is a suprise...scared and nervous...some relationship things to work through...little overwhelmed as I have been single mommy-ing one kiddo for quite some time now....BUT...we are very excited, happy.....and going to therapy regularly..lol.

We still have yet to tell people....so my main thought now is how excited my daughter will be. :)

Any other thoughts:

My husbands name is michael and wow we should have waited to tell non online people, because everyone thinks we are nuts to have three under three...Dh would like to add a boy to our family, I would be ok with either I am just praying things go alright, as the er thought my betas were too low.

Any other children/ages: No human children, but a few furry friends

EDD: 11/23

Any other thoughts: It took me a few days to sign up here cuz I'm afraid something might go wrong if I admit I'm preggers! Still cautious but I have a good feeling about this little bean. Married since October, only TTC for a month prior, no history of m/c. SO EXCITED to be here!!!!

[Charmie981]

I'm still spotting, but the turkey made it past the BLEEDING, so spotting is not scaring me so much. I'm gonna go ahead and join, because I have a baby in my head and heart right now and I'm just gonna assume its still in my belly until proven otherwise...

So I'm Charlotte 27 years old (for a few more weeks), due 11/21 with baby #3, the turkey, who will be a suprise. My other two are boys, ages 3.5 and 6. We tried nonchalantly for 19 months to get this one and are THRILLED.

EDD: 11/30/07, and I've never made it to my due date, so I'm certain I belong here :) Now let this baby prove me wrong!
Other thoughts: What a thing to find out on DH's birthday!

[ChristyM26]

Jill - Congratulations (and here's hoping it's a very sticky baby!)

[yogamama74]

Hi, I'm Audrey age 33. I have 3 boys ages 11, 8, and 4 and got a BFP on March 18th! :dizzy: I'm estimating a due date around November 23rd since I can't remember the exact date of LMP. :o My babies tend to come a bit early though so surely some time in November!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I'm new to the forums.

Hi everyone! I just found out yesterday that I'm expecting a Nov babe! This will be mine and DH's third child (fourth pg - had one miscarriage at 12 weeks between the first two kiddos). DH and I are both 31, but will both turn 32 before this baby arrives. Our oldest child is Isaiah and he's 5. He starts kindergarten in the fall. Our current youngest child is Xander and he's 2.5.

My EDD is Nov 23/07, but my two were both born 10-13 days early, so I'm hopeful that this baby will be born by mid-November. My first was a c-section for breech and my second was a successful VBAC and I'm hopeful that this baby will also be a successful VBAC.

We live in Alberta, Canada and we also have three wonderful dogs. I look forward to getting to know you all!

[mittendrin]

Name: Annika
kiddos: Jakob, 4 and Lukas, almost 3
EDD: don't know, I think end of Oct or beg of Nov, which is why I joined both DDCs
I went for a blooddraw today and hopefully they will be able to figure out by the levels and maybe an Usound how far along I am. Although I don't really care that much, she/he'll come out when done, right?
Funny is: we were done having kids, had dh's vasectomy scheduled end of this month. HA! This one snuck in last minute, guess it was meant to be.

Hey mamas :shy . Missed this earlier somehow, but my internet time is currently limited by work.

Maybe name:Carrie
age if you want to divulge:27
Any other children/ages: DD is 8.5 and DS is 18 months (still nursing)
EDD: 11/9
Any other thoughts: Hmm, we got our BFP on March 3rd and I've already had my first check in with the MW. We will most likely hospital birth with our midwife, I would LOVE a hb but DH isn't comfortable with it. I am tired a lot now, cranky and loving every second of being pregnant. We'd been trying for just over 6 months.
