I should come out of lurking now!

I lurk on here frequently, and always find myself tempted to reply to threads. However, since I have not introduced myself, I don't want people thinking.. "Who is she?".
So!
I am a happily married, currently super pregnant, proud step-momma.
Hoping to get to know you all!

Hmm. About me..
I was born and raised in sunny California. After spending some time in Seattle with DH, we moved to Arizona to be closer to his family. I have a super crazy MIL, and love every minute of it! Nothing is ever a slow day without her.
I enjoy.. knitting, crocheting, and sewing. My Oma taught me how to do so many craft when I was six. She was shocked when I finished my first granny square at six years old. I was determined to learn!
I am so excited to be a momma, and hope to share and learn parenting tips from all of you! We are expecting a little girl soon and will name her either Charlotte or Penelope. I told DH that since I love both names, he will get the ultimate decision when she is born!
Thank you! She looks so much more like her papa each and every day. I was looking through old pictures of DH at his mother's the other day and they even have the same side smile! I will have to try to scan in the pictures to show!
Welcome! Your SD is a cutie! Is she excited to be a big sister?
Good luck with the upcoming birth! Enjoy this time. I remember the excitement of the last few days of my first pregnancy. There is nothing quite like it!
Welcome!
I think she is excited, but slightly confused as well. The whole, daddy is with someone new is still something that is hard for her. She is still young, and does not really understand how she is getting a sister, when her mommy is not pregnant. Sometimes I think she sees me as more of "daddy's friend" than someone DH is with.
In time she will understand. =]
Welcome! Your SD is gorgeous.
I think a few crazy MIL stories would be the perfect way to introduce yourself to the board!
I love having more blended families. We are in the process of becoming one.
Conversation from about a month ago:
(MIL invites us over for breakfast. DH and I end up cooking because she is "still not awake yet". It is almost ten, and 9 year old BIL (Noah) is at his dad's for the weekend. She was just up too late dancing with her friends.)
MIL: So have you decided who will be in the room with you when you are in labor?
Me: Yes, it will only be Jimmy and I.
MIL: Me too right, and Noah as well.
Me: I will have to think about that.. I prefer to only have Jimmy there. By the way, why would Noah want to be in there? He thinks babies explode from your belly button. I don't think he wants to see what REALLY happens. Nor do I want him to see my lower half!
MIL: Okay, well not Noah then. I do though want him to know where babies are really born from. But you have to let me be there. I want to see my grandchild be born.
(DH snort OJ out his nose about this point)
Me: I will let you know.
MIL: I will just guilt trip you all the time till you say yes.
(Face palm)
Me: (Just smiles)
