Hi! I am cautiously putting my toe in the water. I am 8w 1d, EDD 2/8. I have a 6yo DD1, and 4yo DD2. I work PT as an attorney, and live on a small farm. We have dogs, barn cats, cows, goats, and about one million chickens.
I had a ultrasound on Tuesday and baby measured right on track with a HB of 164. I am beyond thrilled to be here. I am active on my DD2s BMB and occasionally hang out on the CD board.
**TW**
I have been TTC since an unexpected (but welcomed) BFP in October 2016. During that time I had two losses and a CP. I also had two losses prior to my oldest.

Congrats to you and welcome! I'm also a TTM with a loss history. It's always a relief to see everything looking good on that first U/S!

Welcome! I'm so thrilled for you that your first US went so well. There are a number of loss moms on here as well so you'll have lots of support and understanding through any PGAL moments that arise. I'm. So sorry your road getting here has been so difficult but so glad you are here now!

wildflowers I did nonprofit elder law. I plan to work again when kids are all in school so I keep my license active, just not practicing. What area are you in?

wildflowers I did nonprofit elder law. I plan to work again when kids are all in school so I keep my license active, just not practicing. What area are you in? Mostly estate planning/farm succession and a few litigation cases a year. The litigation work is mostly as co-counsel in agriculture cases. I have cut back a lot in the last year and am really not working much right now.

wildflowers awesome! That's a niche I haven't learned much about but was always interested in; we have grandparents on both sides who farm. Its nice you can still keep your toes in!

Late to comment but welcome and congratulations!!
I’m an attorney as well! Fultime litigator. I love what I do but it definitely has been tough during first tri. I wish I could go part time but there’s no way my firm would ever go for that.
