Hi ladies!
I don't technically live in Indiana, but I'm close by in the south suburbs (Homewood-Flossmoor) and feel like this board might be a better fit for me than the Chicago one.
I'm expecting my first LO next month and call PgAL my home board. DH and I met during college at U of Illinois in Champaign. We got married in October 2010 at Starved Rock State Park. We just bought our first house in May. Buster is our beloved 3.5 year old furbaby; he's half beagle, half Jack Russell terrier. I work in medical records management and DH is a web developer.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Re: Can I join you?

I'm a University of Illinois alum too. Shocking, I know? Go ILLINI!
Good luck with your baby! I hope you have a smooth delivery.
Welcome to the board! However, I have to ask. Given that you live close to Chicago, I'm really not sure why you think you'll fit in better here. I used to live in Springfield, IL, which is no where near Chicagoland. I have a friend that lives in Frankfort which is near you and I definitely consider that Chicagoland. There isn't an IL board, and I definitely didn't fit in on the Chicago board, so I avoided the local boards and just stuck with topic boards. When I moved to Indy, I was so glad to find the Indiana board. Granted, it is an Indiana board, but many of us live in and around Indy.... which makes sense since that is where the bulk of the population is. You are definitely welcome here, but I just have to ask.
