I feel like it's time....

........ For me to FINALLY come out of lurking!
I have been with you all since the very beginning. Back in June 2011 when we all got our BFPs. I am an avid participator in clicky polls, but that is as far as I ever got. (I appreciate all of you that have kept your pics and siggy's the same since the beginning!!) My husband has told me that I am "Ridiculous" because I spend so much time with you ladies, yet I never participate. I know that this is the best board around and I should FINALLY just jump in! I have appreciated this board soooooooooo much throughout my entire pregnancy and up until now. You ladies have the best insights and I often find myself using our knowledge and hints when I talk to other parents.
Allow me to introduce myself....
I have a son (Feb 16). A husband (and a REALLY good one at that!). Two Beagles. I work full-time. I'm an Autism Specialist (The vaccine debate has given me the push to take the plunge with you all!!) & an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher (Birth to Three is my area). I'm a formula feeding (due to medications), baby-food buying, disposable diaper kinda momma.
My baby....
has slept through the night since 6 weeks old (I'm so very sorry to you momma's who are still struggling. Can't. Imagine.). He just started crawling 2 weeks ago. He is close to being on table foods, but we still give purees when we can't make our dinners work for him. Has already gotten tubes in his ears.
That's just a little about us! Can't wait to become a "regular"!

Thanks!!
In all honesty it wasn't nearly as bad as we were expecting! The whole process took less than 20 minutes. I was so nervous about them sticking him with an IV, but apparently they use gas since it is so quick. We were just happy to have him finally hearing! We went through three months of him having constant fluid, only 2 ear infections. He was soooo quiet, barely responded to us. Now he talks and is such a happy boy. I'm glad we got it taken care of as soon as we did!
Haha! I do know.
Isn't it kinda creepy.....I think that has been my biggest struggle with joining in on the conversations, because I worry that someone I know IRL will find me here, specifically a family I work with.
I am struggling with how much do I divulge about my baby and our life! Anyone else struggle with this?????
Eeks! Busted, I didn't want this to show I'm from MN! I should figure out how to change that! Sending you a PM!
im glad it went so well for you, and that he's already benefitted so much.
My Ovulation Chart
i worried about this in the beginning, but not so much anymore. I hope that those people have better things to do then stalk me, and if not I don't often say anything about people I know URL, except MIL, and the likelihood that she would find me here is...slim.
Irl, not URL.
Welcome! I don't post as much as I'd like to (I work full time midnights, I'm a nurse) but I still consider myself a regular.
I'm on the other side of the special ed table (My daughter has Down syndrome)
I hope you stick around, this is an awesome group of women!

And LOL at your husband! We were like your invisible friends!!
Welcome!
Nice to meet you!! So, I have to ask regarding your comment on the vaccine debate and would like your take on it seeing that you're a specialist. I know this topic is extremely controversial so I am curious... You can start it in a new thread if you'd like, I am sure we all would like to read your thoughts on it. Or, if you wish to PM me, you can do that as well since I am sure that topic is flame worthy.
I just came out of longtime lurkdom a few weeks ago. This is exactly what held me back for so long! I knew that once I got started I would want to jump right in and I was worried that someone I know IRL would read something that I didn't want them to read. I have accidentally found people I know on here before so I know that it can happen. I have just decided not to post anything that I absolutely do not want to get out IRL but I'm pretty sure this wouldn't happen anyway.
LOL ---- It really is like you were my invisible friends. It really is a little ridiculous I waited this long!
