I started reading (lurking) the pregnany boards when I got pregnant last spring, and officially joined and started posting this past March, after DS was born.
I joined the Knot way back in '04 and was bumped over to the Nest not soon after it started in '05.
My entire tIme as wife & mom, I have had these boards as resources.
So what about you?
My answer is exactly the same!! I joined the knot in early 2004 when planning my wedding. After the wedding I was kicked over to the nest. I was active on decorating & renovating until we started ttc then I came over to the bump in 2009 & have been here ever since!
I joined the Knot when we were planning our wedding, so a little over 3 years ago. I didn't use the Nest at all, as far as I can remember, but have always loved the Bump, from the first day of my first BFP
I joined the knot in April 12, planning a dream wedding I never got to have. I joined the bump in January almost as soon as that positive popped up on the stick
I think I have my 6 year badge? I really don't remember. I was on a different board on the Knot when DD was born, before it was the Nest...or maybe it was an AOL board. I honestly don't remember.
I didn't ever use the message boards, but I set up a knot account when we got engaged back in 2007. I never used the nest or anything. Then in 2011 when I got pregnant with DS, I found the bump and message boards, and lurked until after he was born.

Umm honestly I don't remember- I have the "ancient" badge- I know I joined the Knot to help one of my sister's plan her wedding- soooo maybe 2001 or 2000. I used it to plan my 2005 wedding- then the Nest, then here shortly after it became its own board.
ETA I just saw on my profile I joined in February 2001.
Started lurking on The Knot when I was planning the wedding and got married (2004). Then I lurked on The Nest for a bit before officially joining in 2007. So I have been on these boards for 9 years. Wow, what a time suck! :-)
I was on the knot when planning my wedding, but not any message boards. I visited the nest here and there, but never checked out the message boards. I started lurking a teeny bit when I was pregnant with DD1 and 2, but didn't join and start posting until I was pregnant with DS, so a bit over a year.
on the knot (local board only i think) since 2003, got married in '04. lurked on the nest a little bit. lurked on the bump since 2009 when we started trying to get pregnant. didn't start posting til a couple of months ago.
I was a member of the knot but as a resource not a poster. I have only been on the bump for maybe a month and am just trying to figure things out. I have a 6 year old, a barely 2 year old and one on the way. I have been SAHM for about 4 years.

Started on the Knot under a different SN in 2010. I changed my SN after DD was born and I wanted to become active on the boards (it had personal info in it).
I joined TK back in maybe 2004 or 2005. I moved over to TN a couple years later and then TB when my regular board on TN died about 6 months after I had my kid.
I was on the knot and nest with a different screen name when we were getting married and first married. Then I didn't use it at all for a while. I started on the bump when DD was a baby in early 2009.
Apparently I joined theknot eight years ago, which is a little ridiculous because I wasn't even engaged until six years ago. I guess I've been a creeper for much longer than I thought.
