Well I've been here so long I'm both Preggo and have 1 kiddo!
Preggos:
How far along are you? 26 weeks tomorrow!
Team blue, pink, or green? PINK!!!
How has your pregnancy been so far? pretty uneventful, thank goodness. everything is going pretty normally.
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? recurrent m/c's and also what they guessed was poor egg quality. My ovaries looked great but, they decided it was just egg quality that was giving us the issues. So we had to do MA, this baby was on my third cycle of injectables and IUI.
Belly Pictures Please! yea...so not gonna happen.
Kiddos!
How long did you TTC? 15 Months
Did you need MA? Yes, ended up doing one cycle of clomid/IUI then two cycles of injectables and IUI- got my rainbow baby on the third cycle.
How old is your LO? Just turned 2 last month!
What is your favorite thing to do with your LO? I still can't get enough cuddles and kisses. I love it on weekends when he wakes up before me (yep he's in our bed ) and I wake up to him poking me then giving me a kiss. 
Pictures Please! I have no new ones uploaded, need to do that!

How has your pregnancy been so far? up until this week, uneventful, this week I have been pretty darn sick.

I can't believe I get to post with the Graduates. I was beginning to think it would never happen.
How far along are you?I am 25 weeks today
Team blue, pink, or green?We are team Blue
How has your pregnancy been so far?We had two little scares but everything is going good.
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey?We were told we would have a problem getting pregrant on our own. We had a IUI done June of 2009. We got pregrant but sadly this would be our first loss. We got pregrant on our own December of that year but lost the baby very early on. We got pregrant again last Feb on our own with the help of soy. We lost pumpkin in March of last year. With our last loss my old ob told me it was because of my age. So I took Soy and DHEA to help with my eggs. It worked because Cody will be here in May. I also left my job which was causing a lot of stress.

Sorry no pictures. I really need to take one.

First off, sending lots of sticky baby  your way!
How far along are you? 11 weeks & 5 days
Team blue, pink, or green? We will be finding out the gender as soon as we can, and we honestly don't have a preference.
How has your pregnancy been so far? Pretty good actually. It started out with me being constantly nervous about everything, but I'm feeling so much better about things now. I haven't had m/s very badly, which is a real blessing. However, I've definitely had the gamut of other symptoms. For the most part, though, I feel like a pretty darn lucky woman, especially as I approach the end of my first trimester.
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? I had a luteal phase defect... so short in fact that it would have been entirely impossible to get pregnant if I hadn't addressed it. So I had a m/c and a chemical pregnancy before lengthening my LP enough to stick this one.

How far along are you? 20w4d
Team blue, pink, or green? Blue!
How has your pregnancy been so far? The first trimester was extremely rough, but I am feeling so much better!
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? It took us almost 4 years of TTC, one loss, one chemical, one failed IVF, and being told that we would never conceive naturally on our own only to end up pregnant on our very first cycle of using soy. My hubby also had been taking Fertility Blend for Men and Clomid the 2 months prior to getting pregnant. Turns out the real issue all along was a weak ovulation and low progesterone.
Belly Pictures Please! They are posted in my siggy. I have 2 new ones that I need to add to that post!

Kiddos!
How long did you TTC? almost two years before I got pregnant in December 2009. I lost that baby in February 2010. Got pregnant with DD in April 2010 on the first cycle we used Preseed.
Did you need MA? thankfully no. Preseed worked for us.
How old is your LO? She just turned 1 on January 16
What is your favorite thing to do with your LO? everything. She is super ticklish so I love to get her giggling with tickles. Last night we read one page of 11 different books. Quite an attention span!!
Pictures Please!

I'm rarely on JM anymore, but I'm glad that I checked in today to see this.
How long did you TTC? We were NTNP for about 2ish years, and then actively TTC for 2 years after our loss.
Did you need MA? Yes, Nathan was conceived via IVF
How old is your LO? Nearly 14 months now.
What is your favorite thing to do with your LO? I love to just play on the floor with him. Anything that makes him giggle makes my day.
Here he is from a few weeks ago:

Thanks for asking 
Preggos:
How far along are you? 14 weeks
Team blue, pink, or green? We find out blue or pink on Mar 9!
How has your pregnancy been so far? I just started feeling not nauseous (for the most part) in the last couple of days, which was new, since it went away around 11 weeks with L. Otherwise, it has been good!
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? A lot of back and forth about whether to have our children close together or farther apart.
Belly Pictures Please! http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f1...d-02-03-a.html
Kiddos!
How long did you TTC? Right after we decided to take the leap.
Did you need MA? No.
How old is your LO? 22 months.
What is your favorite thing to do with your LO? Just spend one on one time and talk to him. I love our mealtime conversations
Pictures Please! I have been bad at uploading to photobucket, this will have to come later.
