I didn't know you were a newlywed! Double congrats! Also love that you met online-- rock it!

[cattuccino]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.? High school band

2. How long have you been together? 6 years

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO? Continue to grow as a family. I'm admittedly more interested to see how DD adjust....DH has already proven to be an amazing dad

4. What is the one item that tops your registry? Not making a registry, we have most of what we need.

I wish we got the halo bassinet for DD though, and I wish we had gotten the angel care movement monitor.
If either of these go on a wicked sale I might get them.

[txmommy14]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.? When we were 15 working at Chick-fil-A!

2. How long have you been together? Together for 12 years, married for 6.5

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?
All the snuggles! I love laying there with a sleeping baby on your chest in a snuggly sleeper. I also had a great experience with breastfeeding last time, although i don't miss all the pumping. And just in general meeting them. I wasn't very connected to the last pregnancy and was so nervous about how I would feel since I didn't know that parental love yet. Now I just want to make it through some good appointments and I know I'll feel connected.

4. What is the one item that tops your registry?

I won't make a registry since this is our 2nd, but a few things I will need are a second camera for our monitor and a double stroller. I also want to get a new carrier for the young baby stage, probably a k'tan.

[manybellsdown]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?
Law school.

2. How long have you been together?
Married for 6.5, first date was over 9 years ago.

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?
SNUGGLING, and fully appreciating it. I'm also looking forward to nursing again, amazingly, even though it severely hurt for me for awhile.

4. What is the one item that tops your registry?
Double stroller? This is a good question. I haven't thought about it yet.

Yep, we wasted no time and got straight to baby-making! Makes for an eventful year for sure! And thanks

txmommy14, I worked at Chik-Fil-A the summer I lived in Kentucky riding horses. I still crave their chicken biscuits and lemonade, over 10 years later.

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.? Law School

2. How long have you been together? 8 years, 5 married

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO? No idea. I'm already over being pregnant, so I'm looking forward to having LO on the outside.

4. What is the one item that tops your registry? Wasn't planning n making a registry since this is baby #2. Well, maybe for the completion discount. In that case, diapers?

[vivela]

We met in a class in college. 
2. How long have you been together?

11 years. 
3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?

This is my first so... This question kind of stumps me! I haven't even really started picturing what it will be like. It will REALLY change our lives. So, holding it i guess? 
4. What is the one item that tops your registry?
I want a completely kick ass car seat, I think. One of those that converts into all the different kinds of seats for different ages. 

[greysonsmom]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?

We met at work.

2. How long have you been together?

Been together for 8 years but married a year and a half.

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?

I'm excited to see what he or she looks like and how DS interacts with a little sibling.

4. What is the one item that tops your registry?

Because this is number two I probably won't do a registry, maybe for the freebies and coupon. We need a second camera for the monitor, I want an infant wrap, thinking a solley wrap and a wheeled board to attach to the stroller. I really don't want to buy another stroller.

[csat]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?
On match.com in 2001 when online dating was still side eyed. My mom didn't even know how we met until years later, the story to the older generation was always 'through mutual friends'

2. How long have you been together?
15 years, married for 10 in a few months

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?
Snuggles, seeing DS and baby together, he's so helpful and empathetic (as much as a 3 yo can be) so I'm really looking forward to seeing them together. I'd love to be able to tote this baby around like we were never able to do with DS because he was so fussy, but if not at least I will be prepared!

4. What is the one item that tops your registry?
I won't have one as this is the second time around but would be nice to finally utilize the baby swing we got last time around which DS hated and was never used. I also want to try the wombie this time around.

[jlabbe1123]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?
We were friends in high school & started dating in college.

2. How long have you been together?
Together for 10 married for 8 next month

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?
Seeing DS play with him/her.

4. What is the one item that tops your registry?
Not sure if I will make one with this one bit I guess I need another crib?

[ThePregosaurus]

How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.? DH and I were friends in high school... Marching band, to be specific. He was my senior prom date.

How long have you been together? 5 years married but 11 all together.

What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO? I'm excited to watch him/her grow up with my first DS. I can't wait to go on little family vacations and stuff too. I didn't go to Disney until I was 24 so I definitely plan on bringing my kids when they're young.

What is the one item that tops your registry? I haven't given this much thought yet. Probably diapers haha

[KR]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?
Through mutual friends
2. How long have you been together?
8 years, married 2 years
3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?
The newborn snuggles. Finding out if it is a boy or girl (even though we are team green!).
4. What is the one item that tops your registry?
Since this is #2, we won't do a registry. But we will need to get a second camera for the monitor. Maybe a new crib if DS isn't ready to move to big bed by the time baby is born. And maybe a new swing. DS1 didn't like the mamaroo so we sold it. Not sure if we will get another or try something else.

[origamimommy]

1. Through mutual friends when I was still in high school (he had just graduated).

2. Together for 10, just celebrated 6 years married last week!

3. I'm looking forward to that slow pace of maternity leave, not getting ready in the mornings and just snuggling the baby. I'm so excited for DS to meet and interact with the baby. He's been asking for a baby sister for a year and a half now. So we'll see if he gets that sister or a baby brother!

4. We will do a registry for the completion coupons. Definitely the car seat, but also I really want a Tula!

[birdhut]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?
I moved here to finish school and ended up meeting him at a church outing to the baseball game through a friend. I was having a get together later that night and invited him. We hit it off over a game of taboo when he was the only one who got most of my clues. I found him on Facebook and we exchanged messages for a week and then went on a date. 9 months later we were engaged and married 6 months after that. It was fast but I wouldn't change it

2. How long have you been together? We've been married for 4 1/2 years

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO? Seeing how his/her relationship forms with DD and of course all the newborn snuggles!!

4. What is the one item that tops your registry? Hmm just one probably my ergo

We also love the Aden and Anis swaddle blankets. She still uses these. Also her sound machine!

[pbandj714]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?

We were introduced by a mutual friend the summer before my senior year in hs, and he was heading to his first year of college. We were inseparable pretty much immediately and he came back almost every other weekend to see me.

2. How long have you been together?

Together for 8.5 years, married for 3.5 years.

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?

Meeting him or her! We're team green and I just can't wait for that moment when we get to meet our baby and find out if it's a boy or girl.

4. What is the one item that tops your registry?

Everything? Haha, FTM. I definitely want a Tula and a jogging stroller!

We took DS to Disneyland a month before he turned 3 and it was amazing. Kids under 3 are free so it was pretty affordable (we can drive). We had so much fun we are going back the week of thanksgiving this year!

[packerfan4life]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.? We worked together at Target in high school.

2. How long have you been together? 11 years, married for 4

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO? I haven't really let myself think this far ahead. I'm excited for DD to have a little brother/sister but also nervous, she doesn't tolerate not having 100% of the attention

4. What is the one item that tops your registry? Probably won't make an actual registry (other than for the discount) but I want a ring sling or woven wrap. I love babywearing

[GOmamab15]

3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO? Being a mom. Getting to participate in all the things.
4. What is the one item that tops your registry? Crib and car seats. We have a ton of hand me downs but no crib.

[ohiorideresq]

origamimommy, where can you register for a Tula to get a completion discount?!?!?

I think I want a woven this time around. I used my K'Tan twice, didn't like it, and then waited until LO was 15# and fit in the Beco. If there's a woven I can put on a registry to get a completion discount, please recommend that, too.

[bighair12]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.? We met through mutual friends at big outdoor music festival.

Halo swaddle sacks for sure. They make things so much easier than swaddle blankets IMO.

[Flair Underwood]

1. How did you meet DH/DP/FI/etc.?
Haha, we had a mutual friend who was moving away. H said "but you haven't introduced me to all your cute friends yet...." Meaning me. And she said "well, i do know this one single girl who is as cute as a button" meaning me. Then he myspace messaged me, we met at a bar a couple weeks later.
2. How long have you been together?
Met in February 2007 married September 2009
3. What are you most looking forward to doing with the new LO?
Idk. I'm still nervous about having two. I'm definitely looking forward to DD playing with and loving a new baby. Does that count?
4. What is the one item that tops your registry?
I want a new crib. I know it's not 100% necessary but we got a cheapie last time and it was too high for me to get a teeny tiny in and out of it. Also a video monitor this time around. Oooh, and a good carrier. Boba or Tula.
