Looks like there are quite many new people on this board. YAY! It would be benefitial if everybody (old and new members) gives a short intro for itself.
How old, how many kids, how old they are. If you want to share something more, please do!

Oh, and I can't believe Ian is almost 1!!!
My Blog
Me neither! And I can also not believe that your baby #2 is coming soon!
OMG, newbee's sporting bronze!! And can our kids please stop growing up, it's happening too fast.
Okay, hi, I'm GT, I'm addicted to coffee for 23 years - wait, this isn't Coffeeholics Anonymous is it? I prefer GT (or gimmietimmies, if you feel like typing), because IRL I go by so many nicknames. I am 38, 5 kids, ages 15, 10, 6, 4 and 20 months.
I can't think of anything else with only having consumed one cuppa joe today. I like GTKY polls and cute things kids say if anyone wants to entertain us. Oh, and I am a smart a$$ IRL too. But I'm quiet about it. Oh oh oh - I am really into British humor and watching men in Speedos.
Hi Ladies!
I'm Sara, I'm 36 and have DS who's 2 and DD who's 4 mos old.
Hello Everyone - I'm a primary teacher so I've been on the bump a lot more since it's summer vacation.
I am 40 and mom of 3 DD's - ages 12, 9 and 22 months - the "Tiny Terrorist" was quite the surprise;-) Dh and I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary this Christmas.
I love visiting this board because as much as I enjoy several of the other boards - I feel like an old lady there sometimes - and I LOVE the 80's references...from people who shared them ... not were just born in them - lol
As the matriarch of this group <eyeroll>, I am Suzanne and I turn 45 this weekend. And I've been a huge post whorre lately!
Our one and only is Charles, who is just the light of our lives. And such a friggin' character.
SAHM because I'm too addled to work and raise a kid at this point in my life. But it's a blessing to be able to see him all the time and grow into a little human being.
We live in beautiful Colorado Springs and love it here.
Hi I'm new to your board (and really I'm a preemie but I tend to get ahead of myself, so). I'm Jennifer, 37, pregnant with our first after 4 years of trying. We are due next month! I couldn't say if we'll have another one ... it will depend on how this one goes. He's already over 5lbs so to say I'm scared poopless would be a giant understatement.
I planned to be a 2-3 year SAHM but I'm just coming off nearly 2 years of unemployment so I'm happy to be back at work and even happier that my new co. is so awesome about mat leave and family stuffs. My DH is 46 and is a first-time dad.
Happy 4th!
Hello
I'm Stephanie and am 36 years old. DS is our one and done. He is 15 mo actual, 13 mo adjusted. He was born 10 weeks early while I was working at a bar/restaurant (barely made it to the hospital!) and we spent 58 days in NICU. He came early due to stress. One eve we came home to our apartment burning down - we lost everything including my cats. I was 24 weeks pg and spent the next 5 weeks sleeping on the floor - then one week in our new place before T was was born.
I do a lot of preemie awareness and support now and hope to become a cuddler at our local NICU soon.
There's lots more than that, though! I love making things and am learning to sew with a machine. I do pretty well, I think
I adore historic carousels, roadside Americana, and snowglobes. I take a lot of pictures. I EBW and love it - it's keeping me in shape! I love new wave and glam rock and listen to it like it's going out of style...or, gone out of style? 
I love make-up and have started collecting lucite rings again. Oh, and my dream of dreams was to go to perfumery school but I'm a SAHM now after being a preschool teacher, doing PR at PETA, and waitressing.
I have been calling you steve (in my head) forever from over on the preggo>35 boards. LOL
Hi, I am Jessica and I am 35. My daughter Evelyn is 2 months old (was born in April) I have one dear daughter Maggie in Heaven (she died when she was 8) and would be 16 this year, I have a wonderful son Isaiah who is 13. My DH and I have been married for 3 years and Evelyn is his only child. I work with adults with disabilities and my DH is a SAHD :-)
I love reading and drawing and painting and acting. I hope you all have a happy fourth .
I am a FTM at 37, one and done for "us". My DH is older than me and has a 20 year old daughter and 13 year old son that live with their Mom about 20 mins away. We do see them often and they love their new baby brother.
My DS was born in January and I often lurk on that board, with the rare post. I seriously just found this board! Not sure why I never noticed it before! But, I am in an amazing FB group for Jan 2012 babes that is wonderful.
DH and I both work from home for separate companies in the same industry. I love working and with our HCOL it actually is not a choice. We are in NJ and the Jersey Shore show is shot at the beach 5 mins from us...I swear people are not all like that!!!!
Robin ... 43 ...
my oldest is 4 years, and the baby is 6 months
live and work in NYC
duran duran was my first concert, and i would put on my white capezios in a heartbeat
Hello all, I'm a noob here!
My name is Melle, I'm 37, and I am "one and done" with 6 month old Margo. I see there is someone else in this thread living in Colorado Springs. We've been here 8 years and just love it.
I'm an RN working in psych and love my career. I have 3 kittehs and am proud to be a crazy cat lady. I love coffee, horror movies, Always Sunny, and chocolate chip cookies.
When I'm not a dirty lurker, I post on my birth month board and whatever month group Margo is in. I just haven't felt "connected" to one particular place in The Bump. I was looking for something new here tonight, and decided to jump in.
I try to post more often but sometimes life gets in the way of my "bumping"!!!
I am 38 and have two DD my oldest is 4 and my little is 14 months. They are seriously the most beautiful things I have ever seen!!!
My DH and I just had a consult with our RE to do a FET so hopefully we will have number three on the way by the end of the year! I work full time as a designer for a local home builder and my DH is an administrator/teacher at a local high school. We are getting ready to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary at the end of the month.
Great idea newbee!!!
Hi! My name is Lesley, a FTM at 42 to a perfect little boy, Laird- my little thief of hearts. It took me 3yrs and MANY miscarriages until we were blessed with Laird who arrived April 23rd. Hoping to bang out one more ASAP...but worried about losing quality time with them so close together. In the meantime, I am a SAHM and completely hog the baby. lol
I'm a transplant from upstate NY to Vegas- moved 20 yrs ago but NY still feels like home and Vegas is "where I live." We do love to travel- and San Francisco is our fave get away. Hoping to buy a place in SF as a 2nd home. So...an SF mommies, please share your have places to hang out!
I was a total designer shoe and bag "Ho"... Prada, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Chanel...you name it, I wanted it. Now with LO- I'm the flip flop and pony tail queen - and lovin' it!
At least, shoes and bags always fit, so they'll be there when I get the urge to get dolled up.
Nice to see all the +35 moms! I'm usually on the 0-3mo board and the April 2012 Mom board, but I pop into this board a couple times a week.
My pic for DS is horribly out of date; he will be 4 in a few weeks, and DD will be making her appearance late sept. early oct.
hi I am Maria just turned 35 on April 23 (same day as *LesleyT LO*
I have a DD who will be 4 in August (where did the time go?) her name is Aliana, and I have a DS Antonio who was born Feb 17. Not sure if we are done having children.
I am usually on 3-6month board and Feb 2012, but I am glad I found this one, some of the comments from 20 somethings make my eyes roll back so far in my head I am unable to see for awhile.
Currently on an extended maternity leave from work but plan to return in Sept. I work as a PA in a very busy ER in Manhattan
Hi- I'm Chris, 35, but 36 is racing towards me at the end of this month. I have 2 DSs, 2 years (27 months) and almost 4 months. We plan to TTC when our youngest hits a year. DH recently said he'd be up for a fourth also, which has me all shades of excited.
I'm looking for a board with minimal drama and hoping to find other moms who share worries of being a 35+ mom, and maybe those who hear a clock ticking loudly in their heads telling them to hurry up and finish having babies?
I'm K. I'm 37 and I live in Canada. We have a 5 mo girl. I'm currently on parental leave and going back to work at the end of October, then H will take the rest of our parental leave.
I only post on the boards occasionally, usually in short bursts. I hated my month board so I just posted on the Tri boards and the PgA35 board and now on the Babies boards. But I definitely like this board (no drama) but it is a bit slow.
I'm Kim, 38, and have twin boys that will be 4 in August. My DH is at the dr right now to see if his vericocele surgery was successful! If not, we have 3 more months before they will check again. If the surgery worked, we'll start trying for #3 ASAP. If it ends up not working at all, then we will be done with kiddos. I did IVF for the twins and I don't want to do it again. It wasn't a hard road, but I don't want extra embryos left (we had 0 left last time though) as we are only wanting 1 more kiddo. Plus, I SAH now and financially it's a little much!
I live in Texas and am really over the summer heat! I like to take the kids to the park or to bike ride and it's too.damn.hot!!
Like a previous poster, my sig pic is way old; almost 2 years. I am too lazy to find another good one!
I'm Carolyn, I'm 36 and expecting my first this fall. I'm a computer science PhD student, and amateur musician. I'm in Ontario, and am intermittently obsessed with figuring out how we're going to handle child care, which languages we're going to speak at home, and if our home renovations will ever be finished
Hi all.
Hello!! Former regular/current lurker here. I'm Robyn (42) and my DS Aaron will be 3 next month. The pertinent info is I have an amazing only, a super DH, an elderly dog and disabled parents, whom we live with. My mom has been in a nursing home for 5 months for complications due to Parkinson's. She's coming home on Friday so big changes are ahead for us. DS has been in EI for some delays but has caught up in a fantastic way and now never shuts up! Only issue is a sleep regression/nightmares that have popped up 2 weeks ago.
I have less time now than I did to Bump. Just lost my job and need to find a new one ASAP. No easy feat in this economy.

Lori (42) and I pop in and out these days...I'm mostly on my BMB and Working Moms. DS is 18 months already and is quite the character. After a loss in February, we are back to TTC #2 and trying to decide if we will pursue totally OOP fertility treatments in the fall if something doesn't happen soon.
