Hi! A (re-) introduction

Hi!  I was a member of this group from about 5 years ago, until the great divide happened (bump vs. pb), and I moved over to pb with the rest of the old group.  I've been crazy busy raising my kids, but life has slowed down a bit and I miss having an on line community, so I'm back to say hi!  I think there are only 4 or 5 people I recognize on here so I'll start with a brief intro.  :)

My wife and I were married in 10/09.  We have two little boys (10/11 and 8/13) and I am 22 weeks pregnant with our third child, due end of April.  We live in a suburb of Boston.  I am a SAHM and my wife is a dean.  Anything you'd like to know, just ask!  I've been stalking here and there the last few months, but I figured it was time I say hi.   Hope you all have a nice weekend!

    Hi Jaz! It's nice to see you again, too :)

    PB= pro boards. The Bump was going through some changes a couple of years back and it resulted in a mass exodus to another online board space, Proboards. The LGBT group died out about a year ago.
