Getting to Know You
Well ladies - since we'll all be camping out here the next 9 months or so, I'd love to get to know everyone a little better. So, I stole this from another forum. :) Feel free to add your info. I'll ask for this to be added as a sticky post, so we can at least track our due dates here.

Location - Northern NY
ME - Jen
Why did you chose your screen name? i am practicing hypnobirthing and it's of course baby's birth year
What I Do - Behavioral Interventionist (I work 1:1 in a public school with a child with severe behavioral/emotional issues...luckily my client isn't aggressive towards ME so I can still work with her)
Significant Other (SO) - Matt
What he does - Sports Anchor for a local TV station
DD - none
DS - none
Pets - four spoiled rotten cats
Hobbies - photography, reading, long walks with my hubbie
BFP Date: Dec 15th
How did you tell SO about your pregnancy? I waited until Christmas morning! I wrapped up a baby picture frame from Target with slots labeled "Mom" "Dad" (and put pictures of each of us) and put a picture of the positive pregnancy test in the slot labeled "Me". It took him a second to understand then he flipped out (in a really good way!). Best Christmas ever.
Due Date - August 17, 2009
Do you want to know the sex - I'm a little late in joining...yes...it's a BOY!
Does SO want to know the sex - He did too! We went nuts before we knew!
Child #: 1
Gender Guess: I thought it was a boy because I suddenly lost interest in chocolate and had sweaty feet for the first time ever (what girl would do that to me?!) and my hubbie swore it was a girl.
Have you told anyone yet? everyone knows by now! there's no doubt in looking at me that i'm pregnant!
Any names picked out yet? Tyler, Carson, Nolan, Andrew, Parker...
What's your TTC Story? We "pulled the goalie" as my husband says, a year and a half beforehand and waited to see what happened...we weren't in a rush, though the last couple months before we got pregnant we were getting bummed when I got my period...
