Hi guys! I've been lurking for a bit, and finally made an account. Because the support police on the bump were making me stabby.
Age: 31 Due Date: April 3!! Children/Pregnancy History: DS will be 2 in December. I had a miscarriage this spring, and now pregnancy #3. Team: finding out (soon hopefully) Hobbies: knitting & crocheting, video games, D&D, scrapbooking & paper crafting Pets: 3 kitties Any fun things about yourself you want to share? We just got back from a cruise.
Hey ladies! I had been lurking for awhile and introed on CAR when i got my BFP, but I am feeling pretty good after my NT scan and Panorama results, so here I am!
Age: 29 Due Date: April 21 Children/Pregnancy History: This is my third pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended at 18.5wks due to a NTD and other birth defects in May '14. My second pregnancy ended in a mc in Feb. '15. Team: BLUE!! Hobbies: Reading, watching way too much tv, hiking, pugs, and baseball! Pets: 2 Pugs! They are crazy and old ladies. Any fun things about yourself you want to share? Why is it whenever the pressure is on I can never think of anything interesting! I teach 7th grade English and I love it. Those kids crack me up, but they also make my blood pressure rise in no time flat. When I told some girls that I was expecting a boy, they screamed and fell out of their chairs
Wah, I suck and posted an intro. I was so excited to finally join.

Hello! I'm pretty late to this party, I think. A friend of mine turned me onto this site and I've been lurking for a little while. Here's me:
Age: 27 Due Date: April 27 Children/Pregnancy History: First pregnancy Team: Pink! I was shooting for Team Green, but couldn't handle the suspense. Also, rival factions started cropping up within the family and I had concerns about us all making it to April without bloodshed... Hobbies: Knitting, Reading, Swimming Pets: Sadly, none. DH and I desperately want a puppy, but we're renters and have yet to find a place that accepts pets in our area. Now, with LO on the way, we'll probably wait a couple more years. :-( Any fun things about yourself you want to share? I am one of 9 siblings and am realizing that a lot of the trends/normal stuff for today (cloth diapering, baby wearing, breastfeeding, home births {eek!}, etc.) are things I saw my mother do in the 80's and 90's. I feel like I have a baby guru on hand.
I'm one of 11, and I remember my two younger sisters were in cloth diapers. I was old enough to help out, and I remembered what it entailed. It helped us decide to use cloth diapers.
One thing I find from the older generation is most said it was a lot of work and discouraged us. Then they saw us using the diapers and they were surprised how easy it it. That surprises me because we us prefolds and covers.
mnswimmer, Yay for huge families! I'm one of the oldest, so I cloth-diapered most of my siblings at some point. Back then it really was just a length of padded cloth and diaper pins that inevitably stabbed me or the baby every. single. time. I agree we have it easier now, even with the added covers and prefolds and other accessories. What my mom used was simpler, but very utilitarian. Thankfully, we get style and comfort to boot!
Hi everyone! I feel late to the party, but better late than never! I've been lurking for a few weeks and thought I should introduce myself here at some point...
Age: 28 Due Date: April 20 Children/Pregnancy History: First pregnancy Team: Pink! Started off wanting a girl, then as I got closer to the a/s thought for sure it was a boy. So glad though - I have a little niece that lives 2 minutes away and am looking forward to the fun childhood they'll have together. Hobbies: Right now it's Hypnobabies. It takes up all my time! I like travelling when I can afford it though, and watching anime when I can't. Pets: Two cats (ruby and sergeant) and one super old, super grumpy dog named Russell Any fun things about yourself you want to share? Boring and loving it!
Age: 32...will be 33 in a couple of weeks! Due Date: 4-18 Children/Pregnancy History: 2 LOs and one loss, in that order. Team: Green! All 3 times. Hobbies: reading, movies, working out Pets: one dog and one horse Any fun things about yourself you want to share? I moved here with a private board (in the Miscellaneous category) but am excited to explore some of the other forums!

Age: 33 Due Date: April 20 Children/Pregnancy History: DS1 born October 19th 2013 born via c-section Team: another baby boy! Hobbies: Reading. Cookouts with family/friends. Hanging out with my little family. Pets: 1 Belgian Malinois dog named Sasha who is about 9 years old now. We rescued her about 7 years ago. Any fun things about yourself you want to share? My great grandma wrote the song, "I Wanna Be Around" that Tony Bennett sings which isn't really about me personally, but think that's pretty sweet. I like to enjoy margaritas or Long Islands when I can. I hate cantaloupe more than anything on earth. I love playing spades with my friends when I can. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in March of 2015 and so far has been kicking cancer in the ass.

Too late to join you ladies? I had a doctors appointment today, and learned that this baby will likely be here in late April (my due date is officially early May). I had pre-e with DD1, and was induced 2 weeks early with her. My blood pressure is up again this time around, and I've been warned that I can go as early as 36-37 weeks this time around. Im trying to wrap my head around that, while keeping fingers crossed to make it to 38-39 weeks! I had intro'd on the May board at the beginning, but dropped off as time went on and things got busy. Now that I've been kicked into gear, I'm giving this another shot and thought that the April board makes more sense, given the doctors warning today. Looking forward to get to know you ladies, if you'll have me!
Age: mid-30s
Due date: beginning of May, but was told today that I will likely go in April
History: DD born Feb 14; prior to that, 3 MC and a few failed IVF cycles. DD1 and this baby are both IVF babies!
Team: pink
Hobbies: Pinteresting, netflix (House of Cards, anyone?), not much time for hobbies chasing a 2 year old!
Pets: One cat who sleeps most of the day, and then wakes us up to play at 4am...
Fun things about myself: a wine lover here, can't wait for the summertime to enjoy an adult beverage outside on a warm night! I currently work full time (ok, not fun), and am a big fan of my crockpot.
