Hi.
I’m a married 31 y/o nurse practitioner with a 3 year old (E) who was a May15 baby. EDD for this pregnancy is May 20. We essentially got KU the same cycle as our first except 4 years later- I find that amusing and sweet.
I enjoy crafting, sewing and DIYing. We bought a new house recently that needs a lot of work done so I spend a lot of time doing updates/renos.
We live a couple streets away from my parents which is awesome.
We are also parents to two cats and one dog.
I love my M15 BMB and look forward to getting to know a new group of pregnants!

elephantastic, what speciality are you in for nurse practitioner? I'm also a nurse but on a very part time basis right now. I think it's going to be fun for you having two kids with birthdays so close!

I'm looking forward to get to know everybody too!
I'm 30, a nurse, been married four years, and live in Texas. The house we're renting is on a few acres so we started raising chickens and gardening over the past few years and I love it! We also have dogs and a cat. I live very close to my sister and parents. My sister has children very close in age to mine so it's been amazing watching our little ones grow up together.
My DD was born the day after Christmas and while I love having a Christmas baby we have a lot of birthdays/activists around that time of the year so it's always kind of crazy. I'm looking forward to having a spring baby and in a month where there are not a lot of of birthdays!

Hi!
I am an engineer, living in VA. DH and I have been married for 8 years. We have a 4 year old DD, and a 2 year old DS. I am 38 and this will be my 2nd AMA pregnancy.
I think I am due 5/10, but my cycles have been off, so I am not sure.
Happy and healthy 9 months to everyone, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi, just found out today at 13 dpo that I'm due May 26th. This will be our second child, our DS is a March 17 baby, and we've been married for 4 years. I enjoyed my bmb but they moved to facebook after the change over.
We're farmers, I sub at the local school occasionally and I also raise Australian Shepherds, we have 3 of them. We also live very close to our families, DH's mother is two miles away, and mine is 15 miles out. We live in the middle of no-where, and raise wheat, feed, sunflowers and cattle.
I'm so glad to be here! And a little shocked still.

I think it's going to be fun for you having two kids with birthdays so close! Im a family nurse practitioner. I worked for almost 4 years in cardiology in the hospital and now I work in family medicine/primary care. Much less stressful with a family! I can make my own schedule. Right now I work 4 days a week (off on Wednesday’s which is the best) from 7:30-3.

I might go here now? Little backstory- DH and I have TTC since August of 2014. After 5 surgeries for endometriosis and hydrosalpinx, an IVF retrieval yielding 1 euploid embryo, we transferred it on 9/13. First beta came back at 27.8, then 51, then 115, and will have another level tomorrow followed by an early OB US on Thursday. The doc is worried about the baby being in my ostia (what's left of my one tube). My numbers are low, but they still keep rising... so we will see.
I'm 31 and an RE nurse, DH is 31 and an accountant. We have a 4 y/o miniature schnauzer who is our best friend. Based on my transfer, my EDC is 6/1.
I was a frequent on TTGP on TB, then over on TCF. I've been on the IF/TTTC board since about 2015-16

Were you a RE nurse before you started your infertility journey? Fingers crossed baby is in the right place and everything looks good on your ultrasound!

I was actually in labor and delivery for 2 years, then we had 3 really bad losses. I started to get PTSD in labor rooms, so one of the OBs helped me transition into the OBGYN clinic. Then I was bored. We ended up getting an RE to our hospital system in December and I transitioned there in February and we opened the clinic together in April!

Hello,
I'm 6 weeksish along and think my due date is May 19th but I have a dating ultrasound on Friday to confirm.
I have a 3 y/o DD, a husband and a border collie, and we just live in Canada
I'm not very sick yet - mostly insanely bloated and tired.
I'm very active in my DD's bmb (that moved to FB after the move) and am looking for a group to experience this pregnancy with.

Hello! I've been stalking this board, hoping it would be my BMB, and I just got my second beta confirming that I'm pregnant! So, here I am!
I am 30 and DH is 31, and we've been TTC for a few years. I was diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve and a Luteal Phase Deficiency, and DH had mild MFI. We did multiple rounds of IVF last year to no success, and finally used donor eggs this summer which yielded 6 good embryos. I had a transfer on 9/18, which makes me 4 weeks 4 days pregnant today! EDD 6/6/19
I'm a scenic designer, and I teach in the theater departments at a local university and community college. DH is a rocket scientist. We have one cat and 3 chickens. I enjoy gardening, hiking, crafting, travel and trying new foods.

@starzia I've read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and I adored it. Such a fun and quick read! Are you liking it? I love Yoga with Adriene too

Not sure what else to say, but hi!

mamabear02, One of the other CO people here, welcome! Did you guys get snow out of the storm this weekend? We have had snow the last 2-3 days off and on. I'm ready for a real fall, somewhere between 80 degrees and 40 degrees!

Hello... I'm anxious to even post and put this into the universe. I got a BFP on Friday and am hoping to finally get my rainbow.
TW LOSS
I have lost two pregnancies this year, one at 5 weeks, and the other at 15 weeks as a MMC. I had some testing done and my Dr can't find anything that would be causing the losses, but it's hard to remain calm and hopeful.
I have a 3 year son (May 2015) who would love to get a brother or sister and I'm hoping that I can finally do that for him!
