question for you guys: do you know many people born in april? i seriously know only one (my brother). i was hoping for a may baby because all my best friends are may babies and they all have amazing personalities. what are april babies like?! i guess diamond is a pretty incredible birthstone
pear / 1548 posts
@loki: my husband is an April baby. I'm a May baby so I feel this is the perfect time of year. Both my siblings are May babies too. No one else in my family has a birthday around my due date which is great!

@Boopers: so you must like april babies! ya we don't have anyone else in april, except my brother... but i'm not close to him at all so it's a total non factor. ya i think a spring birthday will be so nice. and we won't have to be super pg in the midst of summer... although i'm a little sad to be missing out on the cute maxi dresses
clementine / 957 posts
@loki: Two of my brothers are born in April (one actually on your due date). They are so very different from each other but they both have great personalities! And you're right, diamond is a pretty good birthstone!
pear / 1548 posts
@loki: hahaha I'm sad about that too! I'm a teacher so the timing is pretty good. I'll have to go back the last few weeks of school but then I'll have the summer off to enjoy with the baby!

I'm excited about a spring baby. DD was born at the end of Oct so it was cold all of leave and we didn't get to go outside too much. I think having leave during the spring/early summer will be perfect!

Oh my goodness, can't believe it's already time for next April's board!! Congrats from this April 2014 mama
pomegranate / 3658 posts
@loki: I'm very happy about an April baby! I only know a handful of people with April birthdays. I feel like it's perfect, right as the weather is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming.
That FRER test was from this past Sunday at 13 DPO.
Oh yeah, and another symptom - emotions! Last night I burst into tears watching Katie Couric interview Ruth Bader Ginsberg because of how awesome RBG is (and may have asked DH if we can name our kid "Ruth" ... vetoed!), and this morning I flew into a rage when I saw DH had left dirty dishes in the sink. Not, uh, my typical reactions.

@HappyBluebird: haha good to hear. i'm just being crazy
@Boopers: oh that's so nice. will you go back in the fall?
pear / 1548 posts
@loki: yes, we can't afford for me not to work. I'll probably put the baby in my school district's child care center.

@loki: April is an AWESOME time to have a baby! My DH, BIL, and now LO are all April babies. He is a teacher and home with her for the summer now.
Can't believe it is time for new April mamas! Or rather, can't believe that mine is almost 4 months old! CONGRATULATIONS from an April 2014 Mama! Happiest and healthiest of pregnancies to you!!
@PawPrints: I missed this-holy dark lines! Congrats!

@nana87: @jhd: if I'm honest, this board is freaking me out a bit-weren't we JUST here?
pear / 1787 posts
@Boopers: oh gotcha. we have a year mat leave up here and i think it is criminal you guys don't as well. my bf is a teacher and is due mar 4. so she will work until halfway through the semester and then doesn't have to go back until mar the following year and then is done again in june for the summer! so nice.
@LovelyPlum: aw yey! so crazy to think we'll all hopefully be in your shoes this exact time next year
clementine / 957 posts
@loki: Wow a year! That's amazing! I wish it was that way here! Your BF is lucky that it worked out like that!
pear / 1787 posts
@HappyBluebird: ya we are super lucky! i don't take it for granted, trust me.
coconut / 8079 posts

pear / 1787 posts
@HappyBluebird: how many dpo was that? super good lines! i feel like i wanna buy a ton of tests and keep testing every day just to make myself feel better. i never knew i could be this nervous over something completely out of my control.

Love the photos! And thanks, to all the April 14 ladies dropping in. Feel free to tell us why having an April baby is the greatest.
clementine / 957 posts
@loki: OMG that is so cute! I wanted so bad to tell DH in a cute way but I tested when he was home in the evening and I didn't think I would be able to hold it in all night! So I just sprung the news on him!
