The intro thread: GTKY

[teraiin]

Okay, so I've realized that I'm not very good at Google Drive. If one of the other BMBs will let me snag their roster and customize it I can make one. But that's the only way I'll be able to make a pretty one.

Unless someone else wants to take the project on...

[snoris]

teraiin, I'll give it a whirl

Welcome @sammich_Cat & partyinmytummy!

[emc]

I go here! Ah!

Due Date: 5/20/16

Age: Husband and I are both in our 20's.

Children/Pregnancy History: This our first child and my first pregnancy.

Team: I'd like to find out as soon as possible!

Hobbies: Well I work full time and I'm in graduate school, so I don't have a ton of free time for hobbies. I love to read.

Any fun things about yourself you want to share? We close on a new house in a couple of weeks and I'm excited to have a nursery there.

jbm, one of my friends and her SIL (total BFF's) had due dates 2 weeks apart.. I was always so jealous. I remember how lonely I was on maternity leave and neither one of them had to face that!

Thanks and hello to you too snoris! I really enjoyed the series as well. It's the first thing that really got me reading again after having DD. Insurgent was my favorite. the movies are fun too and I'm interested to see what they do with Alliegent....

[jbm]

Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited to be pregnant at the same time as my sister, but unfortunately we live pretty far away from each other. I'm East Coast, she's Upper MidWest. I have a good friend who's a month plus ahead of me, so we'll have some overlapping maternity leave, which will be great. I did get lonely and bored a lot last time.

Congrats and welcome annarose!

Hi! I'm not entirely sure of my due date, as I'm horrible at keeping track of my periods, but I am estimating early May. I'm 25 years old, married for 2.5 years with a 1 year old (b. August 2014). We're excited for this new little edition! We'll find out the gender just like we did with the first. We love being outside and biking, going to Mizzou games, and watching our hometown sports teams play! We have one dog- a border collie mix. She's my avatar! I unfortunately don't have a ton of time to prove but I hope to be around a bit with you ladies!
