Hellobee Boards

Hi!!

-Blueberry comes from my nickname for LO. He was the size of a blueberry when we found out he was on the way.
-I am 26, and I've been married for 3 years to the most wonderful man.
-We have a 15 month old son and we're expecting baby #2 (a whole 10 weeks!)
-My educational background is in psychology and I worked as a paralegal in sex crimes before I had LO. Now, I am a stay at home mommy. But I'd eventually like to go back to school for nursing.
-DH is a college professor (philosophy)
-We live in north Texas
-We are both huge fans of craft beers!

@nana87: @Espion: @StrawberryBee: oh my gosh. my dog is incredibly neurotic, and I'm type A, and since my LO was born (well, really since pregnancy) he's been driving me NUTS!! lol! but my LO loves him so much. and he tolerates her

@lilteacherbee: So cute!!! I love the tiny shelties :3

@sorrycharlie: Yeah, my sheltie isn't quite infatuated with E. Luckily the other two are ;). And yay for more tricolors! Handsome boy. Baby's not too shabby looking either ;D

Forgot the pictures! Here they are!

@sorrycharlie: mine's oversized as well. She was a rescue puppy mill dog, and definitely isn't to breed standard ;). She was 28 pounds when we did agility, and is now probably more like 30. Sometimes I think the collie in them comes out.

@cookie_dough: so cute, I love the tongue sticking out!

Yay, I was thinking last night that it had been a while since we had a thread like this! Thanks for starting it @Chillybear: !

I'm Sarah, aka lovehoneybee, aka the former FutureMrsMcK. I'm 29, and have been on the bee for what feels like forever (I joined a few days after I got my BFP), and I was on WB for a long while before that. I've known some of these ladies for years! (holla @RunningElley:!) I try my best to keep things short, but usually end up writing novellas. Sorry in advance!

I have been with my husband for 8 years, and we'll have been married for 4 years in October (10/10/10!) We have a newly 2 year old son named Evan, who is pretty much the most awesome thing I've ever done. It took us 13 months and two losses to get pregnant with him, but when I look at him I know that I was just waiting for him.

Dave is from Upstate New York and I'm from Southeastern Louisiana, we met in Philly and now have settled in Central PA. D works in the bicycle industry and I work for the state.

We're undecided about whether we want a second child, and have put the conversation on hold until next spring. In the meantime, we're loving spoiling our little man, and our three cats

Random tid-bits: I love to read, cook, bake, I just registered for my very first 5k (a Zombie Fun Run!) and I'm working my way through Grey's Anatomy for the first time!

@lovehoneybee: Stories like yours make me hope that one day I will feel the same way about my losses. That, as awful as it was to go through it, if anything had been even slightly different, I wouldn't have this child.

Hi everyone! It's nice to read about you all!

I'm Rubies and I've been on HB forever and ever. I'm 33 years old and live in a suburb just east of Toronto, Ontario. I have been married for 4.5 years to my husband, who is the complete opposite of me - it makes for an interesting household.

I have two daughters: My first is 3 years old and is just like her father and my second is 10 months old and is really starting to resemble me in terms of personality. Again, makes for an interesting household!

I am a high school teacher - I teach English and history and really like it but it is definitely challenging having to deal with emotional and hormonal teenagers all day and then having to come home to my babies.

Anyway, I hope to get to know you all better!

@KelLeeLeee: Your dog is gorgeous!!

Loving all the dog photos ladies

@cookie_dough: Reading your screen name has just given me a craving for cookie dough!

@simplyfelicity: Haha a really cheap Chardonnay!

@simplyfelicity:

@mrs.shinerbock: I didn't realize your husband is Colombian! Mine is from Ecuador, which isn't really the same thing, but close enough!! I'm jealous that you go visit each year. We haven't been back to Ecuador in 3 years or so and I really miss it

I will play....I'm not new, but haven't been posting much lately!

I'm MediaNaranja. I joined HB about 2 years ago when I *thought* I was a year or so away from TTC. An unexpected year-long unemployment put those plans on hold indefinitely. I'm happy to say I *finally* found a job that I'm excited about and am starting next week, which means I can start thinking about TTC in, oh, a year or so

Hubs and I live in Utah, but we met when I lived in Ecuador--he was visiting his sister who lived down the street :P. Since we don't have any kiddos on the horizon, we spoil our geriatric dogs (15 & 17). In my spare time I love to read--while I was job searching I worked at the public library, and half the books I checked in never made it back on the shelves! I grew up in a ski town, and still try to do as much skiing as I can in the wintertime.

I also like to cook, garden and sew, even if I am not particularly good at any of them. I listen mostly to latin rock music. DH and I like to watch the Amazing Race, and, embarrassingly, Wipeout. We also loved Breaking Bad and are considering watching the Colombian remake.

I can't think of much else to write! I've enjoyed reading about everyone!

Heyo!
I'm Trailmix, was a WB blogger way back in the day!
I have 15-month-old boy/girl twins who were conceived via injections plus IUI.
I met DH on our second day of college but we didn't start dating until senior year. We've been together almost 10 years and married for four.
We also have a cutie patootie rat-dog named Perri, who is a rescue mutt (potentially Jack and Boston? We're not sure).
We live in NYC but I'm a country girl at heart. I like running, drinking wine, and consignment/flea market shopping.
I'm a PE teacher and doctorate student so life is super busy!
Cheers, everyone!

I'll only be able to reply to a few people. So many posts!!!
@hoots: We should be HB friends! I'm kind of like you, I don't have many friends because it's difficult for me to really get to know people. I haven't had much luck with coworkers and it's hard meeting people elsewhere.
@mediagirl: I love (and am also creeped out) by the doll on the floor behind your dog.
@simplyfelicity: You're an ELD teacher? I'm an ESOL teacher! Now you really can't go!!!
@mrs.star: I'm sorry for your recent loss.
@ballerinabee: Welcome! You're in Charm City, too?? Great to see another Baltimore bee.
@ms.badger: So you went to Wisconsin! I was wondering about your username ...
@trailmix: Doctorate student, wow! What are you getting your PhD in? I hope to do a PhD in linguistics, one day.

I'm Katrocap - a combination of my grandmother's first and last names. She died 3 months before I was born and for awhile when I was little I used to pretend I was her, reincarnated.
I'm 35.
I live in the Greatest City in America (it says so on our benches): Baltimore, MD!
I met my husband twelve years ago. A mutual friend introduced us. We married 8 years ago at the courthouse. Said friend was our only guest!
I'm a teacher and love my students. This year I'm starting at a new school. It wasn't a voluntary decision, but it's ultimately for the best and I am excited (and nervous).
I love traveling, learning languages, being outside when the weather is nice and reading.
I write stories and draw comics.
My DS is 19.5 months. He's amazing. So sweet and kind and creative and naughty. I am so grateful to be his mommy.
Haagen Dazs sea salt caramel gelato is the best/worst thing in the world.
I should have gone to bed an hour ago but have been reading this thread ...

@Katrocap: It's my second year and I have a lot to learn, but I love it! I love having students from all over the world, I learn so much from them. I have decided to stay. I just made some tweaks to my "feed."

@Katrocap: Deal. I seem to have a much easier time when I don't have to do the "So can I get your number?" type thing, which is the great thing about the internet sometimes. The not so great--I never really get to meet all of the amazing people I meet here.

@simplyfelicity: I like "quirky." DH calls it neurotic. lol.

I have so enjoyed reading through everyone's posts and there are too many pics of adorable babies (both human and furry ones) for me to respond to everyone.

A little about me....
I'm in my 30s. DH and I have been married 4 years. We bought our first home last fall and our LO was born in April. We also have a quirky mutt that I adopted from the shelter 7 years ago. I'm a teacher, but SAHM for the near future.
Our LO had some major challenges in his first two months (NICU, surgeries, etc.) and I feel like I am just now beginning to recover a little from all that.
I love books and one of my favorite things to do right now is take LO to the library. We've discovered some fun books thanks to suggestions from HB and I just love reading to him.

It has been so great getting to know (read about) all of you! @youboots: I bet we don't live too far apart!

I'm marionberry, which is a nod to where I'm from and live - in the Willamette Valley of Oregon ... aka where all of your grass seed and Christmas trees come from and the birthplace of the marionberry (a cross between a blackberry and raspberry if you didn't know). We just bought our first home together in my hometown in May.

I'm 28 and married to my husband who is much older, as in almost double my age. We met while working together in a hospital. We have been married for 2.5 years. He's originally from TN so we incorporate a lot of the south in our life.

I became most involved with HB while going through IF. We went 9 cycles before an IUI on the 10th gave us our amazing son who is now 11 months old. I am currently pregnant with a surprise baby (potentially babies) and awaiting an ultrasound to confirm on September 2nd.

In my spare time I love interior design (I have many friends who ask me to help them with their own homes), was a dancer from the time I could walk through college, like photography, and hope to one day be a good cook like my mom. Oh and I'm a die hard Oregon Ducks fan! I can't wait for college football season to start soon.

Hi all!
I'm 26 years old, married for 4 years to my college sweetheart.
We are both upper elementary / middle school teachers, with a focus on social studies. It's great to see all the teachers on here!
We live in AZ.
I love to read the news, read young adult fiction, swim, hike, talk, and take pictures. (like everyone, right?)
I don't want to do pictures because I don't want anyone from real life to figure out I'm posting here! haha.

All throughout my life up until I was 24. I firmly believed we would/should adopt, only. I just felt like, there are children out there without families, and there are people who want children, so... put them together! I also thought/think I am a good candidate for the particular needs / stresses of adoption, as silly as that sounds. However, at age 24, I had many close friends to me deal with IF and fostering, and I realized it all wasn't as black and white as it seems. My husband and I talked about it for about a year and settled on trying after grad school.... which is now!

@Trailmix: I remember your WB days, since you got married right around when I did! May 2010.
