@runsyellowlites: I loved your announcement for your hubby! I'm excited to see what you come up with for everyone else too

I think I will be a March mama! With DS I wasn't sure if I was between August or September and it looks like this one might be between February/March...but I'm thinking more March.

First appointment is on July 25--pretty sure I'll have a sono and be around 9 weeks or so by then.

Still hasn't sunk in, I am definitely having some anxiety about it! This is #2 and they will be about 16 months apart.

@runsyellowlites: I loved feeling (and seeing) J's kicks! I hope you get that this pregnancy too! I think it really bonded DH to the baby aswell.

@sunderling: welcome to HB and congrats on your BFP! Cheers to a happy healthy 9 months

Anyone else bloated? I went to a wedding yesterday and I'm not quite back to my PP weight (boo) so my dress selection was small (either too big or too small or too casual) so I ended up in this...I was asked if I was pregnant and said no twice! I took this pic when we got home and I realized how much pooch I have, though to be fair I did enjoy the food so that probably contributed

Hi guys, so excited to be joining you!

EDD if you have one: March 17th-ish ...I doubt this will be a St. Patty's baby since I went a week early with C, the 13th will be our 4th anniversary Hopefully I can still get some Spring Training baseball in anyway.
When Did You Find Out?: 8 DPO- crazy, I NEVER test that early! with C I didn't test until I was way late.
Child Number: Two, C is 18 months today!
Where You Live: Phoenix, AZ, thank goodness I'm getting summer over with now!
What kind of provider will you see?: Hopefully my old OB is taking new patients, he changed practices so I'll be calling tomorrow.
When's Your First Appointment?: TBD, I'd like to get one in before our trip in a few weeks
What kind of birth do you want?: Hospital, C's birth was a great experience, I'll start with the plan to go natural and see how it goes.
What You're Most Excited For: Baby kicks and a younger sibling for C
What You're Most Scared About: Having 2 monsters, having the energy to chase C around while feeling sick.
Symptoms so far: nausea, exhaustion, bloating, cramping- I had nothing with C until 7 weeks.
Any fun plans for the summer?: We have a small family reunion at the beach in a few weeks, so we'll announce to a few then.
Share a picture of your bfp, announcement, &/or chart: #1 is from 8 DPO and #2 is today at 13 DPO.

Hi, everyone! I'm really excited to be here. I've been on an infertility journey and so have been a longtime HB lurker. Really happy to finally be able to participate!

EDD if you have one: March 7th
When Did You Find Out?: 12 DPO - my test are ALWAYS negative, so I didn't even give it time. I took the test, jumped in the shower without even looking, got out, and was moving towards the trash with the test.... then did a for real double-take when I saw two lines. Had to test every day until 15dpo before I was sure what I was seeing was real! It was exciting.
Child Number: first
Where You Live: Chicago
What kind of provider will you see?: OB
When's Your First Appointment?: July 17th for my early preg overview, and then August 5th for the heartbeat ultrasound.
What kind of birth do you want?: Will be doing the hospital thing, most likely with painkilling drugs.
What You're Most Excited For: Meeting the kid
What You're Most Scared About: Having a miscarriage, it was difficult getting pregnant in the first place (9 months) which I know is just the very first hurdle. My lab numbers were all good though, so I am hopeful.
Symptoms so far: I am already boobilicious and my bras don't fit anymore. Rumbly nausea and a general fatigue.
Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)?: I've already done the fun stuff! Trips to Florida and Hawaii, now it's just a lot of house reno.
Share a picture of your bfp, announcement, &/or chart: I told my husband by pretending I was going to take a photo (but I was really taking video, on my iPhone,) instead of telling him to say "cheese," I told him to say "We're having a baby!" He was excited.

Again, happy to be here and get to know you all!

@lemondrop: congrats lady! It's so awkward when people ask! I hope they feel bad afterwards since they're obviously commenting because of my (your) body shape. I had a hard time keeping it from my BFFs and sisters - they figured it out with the no drinking when I did a terrible job lying.

@shaynanigans: congrats! What a journey you've been on already! Cute way to tell DH too

@runsyellowlites: I'm so excited to see your photo announcements!

Hello everyone! I've known for almost a week and have stalked this board a bit. Congrats to everyone!

EDD if you have one: March 17th (from LMP)

When Did You Find Out?: July 2nd/9 DPO

Child Number: FIRST!

Where You Live: Iowa

What kind of provider will you see?: OB @ university hospital

When's Your First Appointment?: August 6th (8 weeks)

What kind of birth do you want?: I don't have any plans. I'm open to drugs or a drug-free labor. Whatever I feel at the time
What You're Most Excited For: So many things it is hard to pick just one!

What You're Most Scared About: money, caring for a new baby, adjusting our dog to the baby,and juggling my job as a nanny with our own child. Adjusting in general I think! This was our 1st TTC cycle. H and I are very shocked we ended up pregnant on our first try. It's still sinking in for me that I'm pregnant and we are going to (hopefully) have a baby in March!

Symptoms so far: bloating (out of control sometimes buttoning pants is difficult!), enlarged boobs, some lower back pain, acne

Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)?: we went on a pre-TTC/last pre-baby hurrah trip to the Dominican Republic (our honeymoon spot) at the end of May. Then a week later we spent a week visiting both our parents in NC and WI, so we are taking it easy. We have a trip to WI mid-August when we will tell my family (eek!) and a trip to St. Louis mid September to see H's favorite baseball team (Seattle) play. No beer on the Budweiser tour for me!

Have you told anyone besides your SO or doctor that you're pregnant? I'm only 4 weeks/15 DPO. We're thinking about telling our parents this weekend, but it still seems kind of early to me. We're getting together a couple times this month and I think they'd suspect something was up if I wasn't drinking (e.g. beers at baseball games). I guess I just still don't *feel* like it's official yet!

@NorCalWayfarer: yay March 17th! I actually just realized that's St. Patrick's Day, haha! Just my husband knows. Oh and the 8 month old baby I take care of. I figured our secret was safe with him

We saw my parents and grandparents this past weekend. I really wanted to tell my grandparents because I rarely see them since they live in Colorado, but I had only missed my period by 1 day and wasn't even 4 weeks yet, so I held off. It was really hard! We plan on telling my parents and my cousin in person when I am 9 weeks. My cousin had a baby in January and we are very close so I feel comfortable telling her at that point and I really want to tell her in person! We will likely have to tell my in-laws over the phone (thinking of using FaceTime) because we won't see them until Christmas!

@runsyellowlites: Glad to hear your meeting with the MW went well and you'll be able to have the delivery that you want! You'll have to post your family and announcement pics when you get them! Have fun today!

I'm very nervous still, but I will join!

EDD if you have one: March 17th

When Did You Find Out?: July 9th 10 dpo

Child Number: Baby #2

Where You Live: Michigan

What kind of provider will you see?: OB

When's Your First Appointment?: I need to make one!

What kind of birth do you want?: Probably similar to LO, hospital with epi.

What You're Most Scared About: being able to afford two kids, having two under two...

Symptoms so far: some low back pain and heart burn, which I never get on a normal day

Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)?: Not really, just taking it easy

@Bao: Wooohooo! And another St Pattys Day baby to boot!

First time here! Excited to join! Congrats to all of the march mums on the bfps!

EDD if you have one: March 16th (I think)
When Did You Find Out?: Yesterday, 14 dpo
Child Number: First!
Where You Live: New Hampshire
What kind of provider will you see?: OB
When's Your First Appointment?: I'll probably call tomorrow to make one.
What kind of birth do you want? Hospital. Interested in no drugs, but not convinced.
What You're Most Scared About: Losing the baby.
Symptoms so far: Sore boobies, so thirsty, random extreme tiredness. Oh and sporadic cramping... Is this normal? I was honestly convinced I wasn't pregnant on Sunday when the cramps started, felt just like af cramps. But they are still here and I got a bfp instead of af!
Any fun plans for the summer (or winter in Aus)? Enjoying the weather with friends and family. Quite a few weddings to attend also!
I can't seem to figure out how to add a picture of the bfp here. I'm trying from my iPhone. Must say getting the word "pregnant" was so much more real than seeing the line! I think I'm still in shock!

So exciting to see more BFP's popping up! And so many due around St. Patty's Day is awesome

I've got my first appointment scheduled for Tuesday! Really hoping I can get an early ultrasound this time, I don't really want to tell anyone else without seeing a heartbeat first.

So far I've had some tired days, cramping on and off (enough to check down there every time I'm in the bathroom just in case) and one super nauseous morning. With C, I had absolutely nothing until 7 weeks, so it's different to be feeling stuff this early.
