How many babies do you want?: I was thinking 3, but I've had a super hard pregnancy so far, with a 9 day stay in the hospital and weeks of taking Zofran to stop the N/V. So I think this will be our last biological child. We may fostor or adopt!

Type of birth planned?: Hospital with the best OB/GYN team EVER!! I'm new to their practice (my family physician stopped delivering *sad*) but they have gone above and beyond!! They call you personally if you have questions during and after office hours!!

Blog/website?: I'm boring and only have FB and Pinterest, I do have a blog I neglected when DD came!!

Anything else you want to share?: I was a Pediatric RN so I have a wealth of knowledge I love to share, some of which I try to remain impartial with but after seeing the things I've seen it's sometimes hard to watch the extremes parents go to! But as parents, we all must go with our "parental" instincts and hope it's right or follow some guidance!!

Congrats Everyone!! I'm due October 10th by my calculations and by ultrasounds September 26th!! My DD's birthday is September 25th!!

[MamaRuthless]

Name?: Lindsey

Children?: This is my first!

Occupation?: Graduate student in physical anthropology. Hoping to have my PhD in a few years!

Favorite color?: If I have to choose, I guess purple and green, but I love them all... except pastels.

Favorite food?: I'm vegetarian, so anything without meat, pretty much! I love Thai food. I love to bake. I got a kitchenaid stand mixer last winter and I'm loving it!

Hobbies?: Knitting, roller derby (when I'm not pregnant!), baking, I'm learning to sew and have started to make flannel wipes. I love to do crafty things and spend time outside with my husband and border collie mix. I also have a bearded dragon, a uromastyx and a salt water fish tank.

Number of months TTC?: 1!! We got pregnant on the first try! We finally decided to take the plunge after being married 7 yrs (I'm 31 now) and I figured it would take a while. It took 6+ for my sister and several of my friends, but I was pregnant immediately! I just couldn't believe it!

How many babies do you want?: I don't know yet. Probably 2. We'll see how I feel after we get through this one.

Type of birth planned?: Natural, but in a hospital. I have a really great doula. I'm hoping I can labor in the tub and just do whatever my body tells me.

[kelara]

Name?: Kellie

Age?: 34

Children?: DS 15, DS 13, DD 7

Occupation?: SAHM

Favorite color?: Blue & Purple

Favorite food?: Don't really have one, I like a lot of things. If I were forced to pick one I would say sushi.

Hobbies?: I love to garden and I like canning. I homeschool the kids so that takes up most of my "hobby time".

Number of months TTC?: I miscarried at 12 weeks in April 2011 and after that we never tried to get pregnant but we didn't try not to get pregnant either. I guess it took about 9 months.

How many babies do you want?: I think this will be our last. It has been so stressful this time thinking I would miscarry. I don't know if I could do it again.

Type of birth planned?: Hospital Birth, we can't afford anything else.

Blog/website?: Nothing

Anything else you want to share?: Baby #4 is a boy! Due October 26th. People often think because my kids ages are spread out they are half sibblings, but they're not. Hubby and I have been together for 16 years, married right out of Highschool. I guess we just take a long time to recover between kids. LOL
