Welcome! How was your pregnancy with your DD? How early was she? Birth story?
Forgot the birth story part! The TL;DR version is about 8 hours of active labor, 1 hr of pushing, a failed epidural (despite several attempts!) turned into a natural birth. Ouch. Also, my H puked when they broke my waster.
Welcome! How was your pregnancy with your DD? How early was she? Birth story?
Thank you! My pregnancy with her was ROUGH. Preterm labor at 26 weeks, shortened cervical length, progesterone injections for 20 weeks, bed rest for 12 weeks. She ended up coming 2 1/2 weeks early ( I was due June 8th). But, she's here and healthy now, which is all I can ask for.
Wow!! I am amazed that you made it so long after preterm labor at 26 weeks. I wish you had reached out to us so we could have kept you occupied for those last 12 weeks. Any chance your DD's birthday is May 24? Because then she and I would be birthday buddies.

Don't worry, I lurked hard at that point haha. DD came on the 21st, so almost birthday buddies! I'm already in deep into party planning.
I'm a physical therapist for a school district and work 2 days a week, but will probably SAH after this school year.
What population of students do you work with?
Primarily preschoolers, with a couple elementary kids mixed in. I jobs share, and the other therapist treats the older kids. It works out well, since I prefer little ones.
Welcome! I like you because you don't like the Browns or Bengals. Also, you can go to Melt whenever you want (they have vegan cheese!).
Did NOT know Melt had vegan cheese. I've been subsisting on Five Guys and Chipotle...it's hard to find soy-free restaurants, especially
Yep! I finally got to go to one in Columbus after cancelling three trips to Cleveland. I'm lactose intolerant, so part of my fascination with melt was the vegan cheese! I'm not 100% that it's soy-free, though.

blueskiessmiling welcome!!! I am from central Ohio and went to college on the East side of Cleveland. I always say Cleveland has the best fans because they are so loyal to their teams! My LO came 3 weeks early as well and I lurk may bmb too, I'm so glad you were able to carry her so long and I am sorry about your loss.
Hi! My question is top favorite song of all time? Top musical artist? Top album?
I really like a wide variety of music, but mostly stick to pop as a genre. My favorite album of all time is probably Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams, and I love his song "Better Together ".

Not sure exactly where you're located, but Trader Joe's, Heinens, and Giant Eagle actually all sell vegan shredded cheese. I don't recommend eating it on its own though- it's best when melted.
Welcome! I'm glad you decided to come out of the shadows.
Here are my questions: What is your biggest regret in life? What are you most proud of?
My biggest regret would probably be not finishing grad school BEFORE getting married. Building a house + planning a wedding + a full time course load + working was tough. I'm definitely most proud of my daughter. While I certainly can't take total credit for her, I went through a LOT to get her here safely, so I feel a sense of accomplishment over that.
blueskiessmiling I'm in Pittsburgh. my h works in Ohio , though, so I know it pretty well. I usually just buy regular cheese and take Lactaid because thankfully it seems LO is unaffected by dairy!
Hi and Welcome! Your baby girl is absolutely adorable!!
My original due date was also June 8th, and she came on May 25th. So another May baby...there are a couple of us. I look forward to getting to know a fellow wine lover ?

I remember your little girl being born! I was just happy to make it as far as I did, so I was okay with DD coming that early. And yes to wine. That was my first solo venture out of the house without baby...getting wine with some girlfriends.
Welcome to the group! Your DD is adorable! My LO was also due June 8th. My question is did you find out sex or were you team green? Did you have a boys name picked out?

Thanks! We did find out the sex. I had about a billion ultrasounds over the course of my pregnancy, since we had lost our son. We actually were able to find out at a scan I had at 15 weeks! We weren't positive about boy names, but liked Jack and Lucas.
Hello! I'm another May baby momma! My little one was due June 9th, but was born on May 4th. I had sudden onset preeclampsia and other junk. My confession: I haven't even started looking at birthday stuff! Eek!
My question: what theme will you go with for the 1st birthday?

We're doing a rainbow theme, since she's our rainbow baby. So much cute stuff on Pinterest!
