    Hey Korey, I just had to check to see if you found your way on here and you did! Welcome! Interesting......my husband picked out the name of our baby, we're expecting a boy and he picked Caleb as well! I think he is spelling it with K though.....

    Name: Mindy
    Hubby/Partner: Jimmy
    How many kids do you have: This is our second
    Due Date: October 9th, 2012
    Do you know the gender: Baby girl :-D
    Have you picked out the baby's name: Yeap, at least for now it's Willow.
    Where do you live: Colorado Springs.
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Running and weight machines.
    Anything else you'd like to share: With my first child I gained 40lbs because they told me to eat more food and ice cream because I wasn't gaining weight like they wanted. Sadly, I gained TOO much by the end for them. I couldn't lose my baby weight easily (heart issue) and then I got pregnant again. So this time around because I weigh the exact same as I did the day I came home from the hospital, I'm trying to eat healthier and exercise to get/stay in shape for the baby :)

    Name: Licha
    Hubby/Partner: Pat
    How many kids do you have: This will be our second, I have a 13 year old.
    Due Date: Feb.3 2013
    Do you know the gender: No
    Have you picked out the baby's name: No.
    Where do you live: Canada
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: walking, swimming
    Anything else you'd like to share: I have PCOS and have a 0.5% chance of getting pregnant. My first miracle was my son, he is now 13 years old. I got pregnant in September 2012 after 13 years of trying but unfortunately had a miscarriage. I am very afraid of it happening again, although the Dr. tells me this time it's completly different, the hcg levels are higher and there are no cramps and bleeding. Time will tell, I am trying not to get to attached but it's too late, I can't go through another miscarriage, so if this one doesn't work out, that's it for trying to have a baby. I am trying to think positive, this one is like my first one, heartburns, fatigue, nauseous, no spotting or cramping, all the same symptoms, so I hope that's a sign that all is well!
