Thank you Laura! I don't consider myself patient or strong, I've definitely had my momemts lol I just knew what I wanted and wasn't going to give up until I got what I wanted lol
Congrats on your little bundle of joy and your upcoming wedding!
I just realized, we have the same due date!! Yay for July 8th!!!

[laurawr_madeline]

You may not consider yourself in that way, but I do :) not something that would be well handled and strived for by a lot of people. Most would have given up.
Thank you :)
Oh really!? That's awesome! Hahah.
July must be the month for boys. Well, here is somewhat hoping! Our family is long overdue for a boy... In fact... 18 years overdue lol.

Hi Stephanie! finally someone else from the land of Aus! hahah.
Due one day after me as well! I love the pattern of everyone having boys on this link! Have you chosen a name for your little one? It's a very mixed emotion rollercoaster isn't it? lol. I wish my nesting would kick in! I need to get this house sorted. Here's wishing you a wonderful pregnancy, safe arrival and a bright and happy future with your soon to be family! :) xx

Hubby and I have been married for 12.5 years, and we finally decided we were ready for kids! :) I work for a natural grocery store chain, and am lucky enough to be able to go back part time able after our little girl, River Melody comes July 10th. We are over the top excited to meet her!

[laur23]

I'm Lauren, I'm 21 from Pittsburgh pa.  28 weeks along due July 22nd with a baby girl. i work with one year olds at a daycare. Me & my fiance have been together for 3 years in August and couldn't be more excited about the arrival of our daughter!

[laurawr_madeline]

Hi Valerie! finally a girl! :) How amazing with your birthday and due date lining up like that. Would be one very special and hard to top present if she makes her appearance on your birthday hahah. Such a elegant and beautiful name your little one will have! Here's hoping you have a smooth sailing pregnancy and delivery! Good luck with everything xx

Hi Chaya! number 5!? wow! congratulations! do you know what gender you bub is? people definitely underestimate how hard a mothers job is! I hope everything goes well with the rest of your pregnancy and your little one arrives healthy and safe xx

Hi Desiree! 10 years!? what an achievement! Congratulations on your soon to be anniversary and on your daughter! such a cute name she will have! Due one day before me :D having another girl will even out nicely your little people army! hahah. I have 3 sisters so we always outnumbered my dad be being girls. Even all of our pets were female :') lol. Good luck with all to come and your expanding family xx

Hi Lisel! i thought it was a great way to get to know some of the expecting mamas around the same due date :) 12.5 years!? that's amazing! you're going to LOVE being a mama! how wonderful that you've waited so long for children! I was way too impatient to start a family to wait that long haha what an effort! That's fantastic how you can go back to your job :) I'm still trying to decide what I want to do work wise. I think it will be too hard to leave my little one with others. Fortunately, i get funded for 18 weeks being full time and I'm entitled to 12 months maternity leave with my job being secure for when and if I'm ready to start again! River Melody is such a elegant and pretty name! Congratulations and all the best with what's to come xx

Hi Lauren! Congratulations on your baby girl! Have you settled on a name for your little princess? Ahh, I would LOVE to work with toddlers! It's be so much fun (and challenging!) will you be going back to work at all? Wishing you a well pregnancy and all the best with the delivery and becoming a mother :) xx

Hi all,
I'm Danielle, from Victoria Australia, 27 and expecting our 4th son on July 23rd. We still haven't picked out a name for this little fella (we have so much trouble picking boys names) can't wait to meet our little man and he had 3 very excited big brothers!!

[laurawr_madeline]

Hi Danielle!
Another Aussie! :) we seem to be far and few between on this app/site hahah. Your 4th son!? Holy! That'll be a handful for you :) My fiance and his 2 brothers were little monsters and quite a handful growing up, regardless of how wonderful their parents were/are hahah. I hope your boys are good little fellows and don't give you a hard time :) Boy names are definitely the hardest I reckon. Girls you can name pretty much anything and it catches on lol.
I wish you  all the best for your growing family xx
