Hi, I'm Vanessa, 31 yo. EDD- 8th Jan. Have been trying to conceive since January, had 2 mc's before this one. Hoping for a boy as we already have 2 beautiful girls aged 4 and 6. But of course we will still be happy with another daughter! Have told a few people but will wait till I'm about 10 weeks along to tell others... if I can wait that long!! Look forward to getting to know everyone here!
Hi I'm Nikki, 36 yo. EDD-Jan 16th. Wasn't really TRYING to conceive, but we weren't preventing either. Had one MC in December so hoping that everything goes ok with this one. Symptoms are strong and keeping me positive! Actually was happy I almost threw up this morning, lol!
I've told quite a few people, just can't hold it in. Haven't gone totally public as of yet however

How long you were TTC? Stopped taking the Pill in Jan of this year. Not specifically trying, but not preventing either.
What are you hoping for boy or girl? Either one! But if I HAD to pick, I'd go with boy.
When will you tell everyone? Probably in another month. Definitely not until we've been to the doctor at least once, to make sure everything's going as it should.

How long you were TTC? I stopped taking the pill at the end of last year, we weren't really trying but we are very happy it has happened.
What are you hoping for boy or girl? either one, my husband has said the same but doesn't like any of the "girly toys" so I think he would prefer a boy.
When will you tell everyone? We have told a few people (parents and close friends) but will wait another couple-few weeks before telling everyone else.

Name? Beata
Age? 30
EDD? 1/6/11
How long you were TTC? 1.5 years of infertility treatments (did 4 IUIs and 1 IVF).
What are you hoping for boy or girl? After everything I had to go through in order to get pregnant, gender really is the least important aspect! (I know my husband is hoping for a boy though, lol)
When will you tell everyone? We told just the closest family and friends who have known about our fertility issues from the beginning. I'm not announcing at work until the 2nd trimester starts. Hoping for the best :)

Hello Everyone..!
I'm Jessica, 35y/o EDD 1/29/2011
We just started TTC. My husband is hoping for a boy, bcs he already has two girls, but bottomline, we just want a happy and healthy little one.
We just found out yesterday, did a home test, so far we've only told my parents and his, but told that we needed confirmation from the doctor. It was too much to keep quiet, specially since this would be my mom's first grandson/grandaughter. I'll probably wait a little longer before I tell the rest of the family and friends.

How long TTC: 5 months.... I have a pituitary tumour which needed medication to help me ovulate.
Hoping for Boy or Girl: Hoping for a healthy baby, but if I had to choose, I would say a boy because we have boy clothes and things already from the first baby! (It certainly would make things easier!)
Telling everyone: I have a big mouth, and don't like to keep things secret! I posted it all over my blog, and emailed everyone who would listen! Since it was an effort to conceive, it was a triumph that we did, and we are sooooo very happy.
Good luck everyone and glad to see you all here on our journey!!

EDD: Jan 25th
TTC since we got married last June. We have lost 2 (1st Angel in Sep and the second in Feb).
Hoping for: a baby in January :) Honestly I have zero preference! All we are praying for is a healthy little baby-BUT my DH really believes it is a girl. He corrects me when I say 'he'..too cute.
Considering our past I was hesitant to say anything other than to our families but I work in the hospital and b/c of my circumstances (see my other post) most of the people that I work with have figured it out. We told our church group too. We will take all the prayer warriors we can get!
Good Luck and happy pregnancies to all of you!
God Bless,
Angie

I'm due around Jan 8th (first U/S on June 9th, so we'll get a date confirmation then)
TTC for a couple weeks... God is great!!!!!!
HOPING for a girl, but since I have a 1 year old boy, if I have another boy, at least I've got clothes already!!
We've already told the whole world... I'm already showing quite a bit, so it woulda been hard to hide... LOL.

Age: 23
EDD: We think around 01/21-01/26 (irreg cycles will find out Thursday at u/s)
TTC: 3 yrs we stopped preventing it, 2 years aggressively 6 months of fertility treatments
HOPING: Like most of you, we'll take a happy healthy baby, no matter the gender, but we are both in favor of a first born son
SHARING: Because we've been trying for so long, we pretty much told everyone as soon as we found out. I told DH when I POAS at 2:30 in the morning and got my BFP! Everyone around us is totally stoked (this will be a first grand&greatgrand child on both sides)
Good Luck everyone! Let us all have a happy healthy 9 months! :0)
