Thought it would be nice to have a little group for any moms in the New England area!
What state do you live in: RI
How long have you lived here: Whole life! Lived in MA growing up, went to college in MA then moved to RI when I got married.
Favorite part of living in NE: Having beaches in my backyard and ski mountains within driving distance! Oh and the Pats of course
Other pregnancy thoughts: I think September is such a great month to have a birthday in around here! Still warm and can enjoy the beach but have the fall weather & activities right around the corner
I am definitely not looking forward to being nearly 9 months pregnant in August though, yikes!
Add any other questions you would like to know as well!

I live in Boston and have for many years, though I'm transplant from the SE so I'm not a Patriots fan. I love fall in the NE (as long as the fall in gentle and not actually just winter). @SmrBrd2012 I also do not love the cost of living and cold and am dreading having an infant in daycare in December.
I loved having a July baby and having the summer off. DS and I walked miles everyday. I really hope September and October will still be nice.
i am also not looking forward to being super pregnant in august... ugh!
I wish we could move back to Norwood, that was my favorite, but we both have jobs in the Hartford area and that commute was brutal. DH is a huge Boston sports fan being from MA, and just got Bells a Patriots cheerleader outfit at Target - so freaking cute. I'm from MD so like the Ravens and the Orioles but root for the Boston sports teams because they are better. I loved the O's back in the mid-90's but they haven't been good since Ripkin left, and the current owner is driving them into the mud.
The best thing about New England IMHO is you know where you stand with people. Down south people are fake nice but you don't get that crap from NE'ers and it is so refreshing. I have no use for fake people.

Big game tomorrow, get that Pat's outfit ready! 😀
And BTW GO PATS! That last game I had so much anxiety and excitement that I was actually concerned for the health of myself and this baby!! Definitely forgot I was pregnant while I was yelling at those damn refs What an emotional rollercoaster!
@kagesstarshroom I also lived in Cambridge around the same time! What a coincidence:) I’m not a huge baseball or football fan but I do love me some hockey - I am beside myself when I’m rooting for the bruins!
I grew up in NYC but it’s a pretty similar culture. You know where you stand. It takes a while for people to warm up but then you have people in your corner when you need them. I appreciate that because I am pretty no nonsense.
@jeepwave my husband and the kids and I spent some time in Newport - it’s a perfect trip to make for us distance wise with small children. We had a blast every time.
ETA: English is hard today
DS: 18 months

How long have you lived here: 3 months! We just moved here after living in Houston for 6 years. I’m originally from San Diego. (Not a Pats fan... Still mourning the loss of my Chargers to LA)
Favorite part of living in NE: Fall! I’ve never seen so many trees such beautiful colors before 😍
Other pregnancy thoughts: Ready for the nausea AND winter to be over!!! I feel crappy and I’m freezing 🥶
How long have you lived here: My whole 33 years so far
Favorite part of living in NE: The Ocean, NE Patriots, Foliage
Other pregnancy thoughts: I am anxiously awaiting my first OB appointment on Feb 6th!
How long have you lived here: All of my years
Favorite part of living in NE: the seasons and the wide variety of activities at my fingertips!
Other pregnancy thoughts: Keeping this secret is the hardest part! Just a few more weeks till we break the exciting news to family 😁
Pregnancy thoughts: My other two babies are December born so I was never in my first trimester during cold and flu season..its particularly stressful worrying about getting sick on top of already feeling bad. And I don't want to scare any of you that don't need another thing to worry about, but a fever during first tri can cause birth defects and I have been SO worried about that lately as my older two kids seem to be constantly bringing some new illness into the house! We are just getting over the dreaded stomach bug!
Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
What state do you live in: I live a few miles outside of Boston in a suburb
How long have you lived here: Whole life! Grew up in RI, moved to Boston area as a teen and never left.
Favorite part of living in NE: Having beaches and family so close by. I love seasons, but hate the winter.
Other pregnancy thoughts: We have a daughter who just turned 2 in January. I am not looking forward to being 8 months pregnant in August, but I am glad to not worry about snow when getting to the hospital this time around.
@Junebugmugalug I'm also in fear of getting sick! I am trying to keep my distance from sick co-workers who don't stay home UGH!
@aca12017 I didn't even think of the risk of getting to the hospital if I had a winter baby! My concern now is getting stuck in beach traffic!
@junebugmugalug Also nervous about bugs. I work with kids and so many have been calling out sick with the stomach bug, and norovirus and the flu the last few weeks. Using ALL the purrell!
