  1. I'm Emily (TMNTgirl on the bump) and I'm due Dec. 4th.

    We are still kinda in shock at this point that I actually got pregnant. Our first Dr's appointment isn't until I'm 10 weeks since that's the first appt. time I could coordinate with DH's work schedule. It seems so far away now, but it will be worth the wait to have him there with me.

  2. I'm Starbuck and I'm due Dec 2nd.

    DH and I had been TTC since October of 2008. In January of this year we finally went to see an RE who diagnosed me with PCOS and Luteal Phase Defect. We began treatment by trying an unmedicated IUI. That didn't work. We began Clomid and did our second IUI which was a success! We are very excited.

    My first beta was 207 and the second was 814. I hope that number continues to get bigger!

    We are scheduled for our first ultrasound on April 14th and I can hardly wait.

  3. Hi!!
    I'm Barbara (Babsie7) and I'm due Dec. 5th. I'm a middle school teacher in the Beach Cities of L.A. We've been ttc for close to 3 years, and finally have success through IVF. I was bawling so hard when I saw my bfp that dh thought it must be negative. We are both still in shock and hoping for strong betas this week.

  4. Hi girls - I'm Becky (rma910). :)

    My DH and I are SO excited about our BFP after six cycles of TTC & 10 off of BCP. We are due 12/2 and I can't wait for my first Dr. appt on 4/15!

    Let's see... a little about me... I live in St. Louis & work from home as a travel incentive planner. We don't have any furbabies (I can't stand the shedding & I travel a lot for work, so it just make sense for us right now), but my mom has an adorable Labradoodle that I walk daily on my lunch break.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all!

  11. Hello ladies!

    My name is Jen (OhSewCrafty) and I'm due December 5th. My DH, Jeff, and I were married this past Halloween, but have been together for about fours years now. This is our first little one and we are SO EXCITED. We're going to have a nephew in a few weeks (May 1st), so hopefully that will help us prepare for our own!

    I work at a university in residence life and as part of my job, live on campus so I can be with my residents and undergraduate staff. Jeff and I have our own little apartment in the basement of a residence hall with our sassy cat, Jodie. Jeff is an assistant manager at Barnes and Nobel and is working on his MA in teaching to be a middle school English teacher when he graduates next May.

    That's about it! I'm so excited to get to know all of you and continue on with this crazy amazing journey! :)

    DH and I are cautiously excited to be expecting! We have been trying since September 2009 ~ so 7 cycles. We are VERY excited about Lucky #7!

    Can't wait to get to know you all better!

  17. Hi there! I'm Kristen61607 and DH and I were married on June 16, 2007. We started very actively ttc since June of 2009. However, I had a very bad experience coming off BCP's. I didn't ovulate/get AF for 3 months. Then the Dr. put me on Provera to jump start my cycle. This worked, but my cycles were a consistent 40-50 days long. And when you're TTC this is a very long time to wait between cycles! We just got our beautiful BFP on March 29th (so that was after 9 months of trying, but only the 5th cycle) and are still very cautious, but SO incredibly excited! I actually had to happily cancel an appointment with an RE for May! :)

    My husband is a VP for a construction company and as soon as our little one comes, I'll be a SAHM!

  18. Hi everyone! My name is Miriam and I got my very faint positive on Saturday (10DPO) and I've been testing at least once a day since then. I can't believe it! We're soooo excited.

    The baby is due December 8th when my DH and I will have just celebrated our two year anniversary. Like laurasusan my birthday is in December (the 29th) and this will we be quite the Christmas/birthday present!

    I need another week to go by though. This blog is my first attempt to forget about the possibility of a chemical pregnancy. It's all I can think about right now. Today marks 14DPO so thinking of tomorrow as the start of week 5 definitely helps!

  19. Hi there I'm Meycitaa but my real name is Mey. DH and I have been TTC since early 2008. I was diagnosed with PCOS way before we started so I always knew we would have a hard time. After failure with clomid and unsuccessful injectible cycle, followed by a forced break due to 5 cysts I finally got my BFP.

    I'm due December 5th and I'm on cloud 9. Very excited to share this moment with you all and learn more about each other. We live on Miami Beach with 2 gorgeous pomeranian. They are psyched about becoming big brothers. My first ultrasound is April 14th.

  20. Hi! My name is Leila (Firemanswife is my SN). I'm 25, expecting my 2nd baby. My first is 11 months old. He was a preemie, born 5 weeks early. I had pre-eclampsia my first pregnancy, was on bedrest from 31-35 weeks and delivered at 35 weeks. He spent 7 days in the NICU. I hope to avoid all those problems again this time around!
    I'm a CPA, DH is a firefighter. We have been married for almost 3 years.
    Baby is due December 3! But I will be having a repeat c-section, likely at the end of November (hopefully if I make it full term!).

  21. Hi! My name is Melissa (nbbride06). I live in the Los Angeles area (the Beach Cities actually) with my husband. We have been married since 2006 and this will be our first baby. Our baby is due December 6 and we are so excited.

  22. Hi December Mom's! My nn is Angel and I live in Dallas with my husband. We have two sweet furbabies including a 10 year old Russian Blue cat that DH and I rescued in college.

    My husband and I have been together almost 14 years (we were young when we started dating) and recently decided to TTC. After 2 cycles I got pregnant, but the pregnancy ended in a m/c. We started TTC again in January, and I got a BFP last week. My due date is Dec. 1st and I am so grateful and happy to be pregnant again, but it's frightening too. I'm not allowing myself to be as excited as I was the first time, because the loss was so hard. I'm hoping that the fear will subside after we get through the first trimester.

    I wish us all healthy full-term babies in December!!!

  26. Hi! I'm Liz (*justducky*). I am thrilled to be joining the Dec Mamas group! My husband and I have been married since June 2007 and I was lucky enough to get pregnant the first cycle we were TTC, although I had been charting for four previous cycles. I got my BFP on April Fool's Day at 11dpo. This will be our first child, but we have two dogs who will be very excited to be big brothers! DH is an architect and I am a law student (planning to take off the spring semester of 2011). I am so glad that the month boards exist and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you over the next nine months! Good luck to everyone and congratulations!

I'm a WOHM to two wonderful kids, Max who is 4.5 and will be starting kindergarten in the fall and Eden who will be 3 in June (the day I start my 2nd tri!). With lots of support from my husband of 6 years and family, we're able to be a dual parent working family and make it work. I am an "older" mom and we TTC #3 for 5 cycles (longer than it took for #1 and #2). Looking forward to my first u/s at the end of April and hoping the little bean is growing just as he or she should. =)

  58. Hi Ladies! I'm Erika (g8orell) and I found out a few days ago that we are expected #2 on December 30th. Since it will be a repeat c-section, most likely will be born the week before (I'm hoping to convince my OB to do it before Xmas, so that I can be home with DD). We were not planning on getting KU this soon, but I have PCOS and needed Clomid to get pregnant with DD, so my OB suggested that we go off BCP at 9 months PP and I did and BAM....KTFU! 2 under 2...here we come!

  59. Hi! Im Lauren (laurncui812.0) and I am expecting #2 on December 8th. I had twin boys on April 22, 2009. I had lost one (Caleb) 9 days before. Cole is our survivor and is doing great so we are excited to give him a sibling. So I too am joining the 2 under 2 group.
