Hi! I figured I'd introduce myself as well, I've been lurking for a bit. I have been starting to post just because I'm enjoying you ladies and your brand of snark. I started out my pregnancy avoiding anything pregnancy-related on the internet at all costs (way too much info); but I like reading about what you guys are currently eating.

I'm a first time mom, due October 28th. We're having a girl! No names yet. I live right outside of Boston with my husband and retired racing greyhound. We just bought an old Victorian house, which we're in the middle of renovating.

I don't have any pictures of me handy (except up and to the left), so here's a gif of what I hope my water-breaking experience is like:

ETA: we're having a girl

Haha! A hot topic. It's a G as in gift. It's not peanut butter. I'm a graphic designer and that's how I was taught to say it in school, and I'm sticking to it.

wrongzo!

Per NY times " Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the widely used Web illustration, declared it should be pronounced “jif,” like the brand of peanut butter, rather than with a hard G sound."

that being said, i still say a hard G.

Thank you CV. "Hard G" is the answer I was looking for. I think she can stay for now.

Welcome! What is your greyhound's name?

Thanks so much for all the welcomes, everyone!

My grey's name is Manley. His racing name was No Mon Manny. We didn't like his name at first, but when we met him, it kinda suited him. He's the sweetest dog.

P.S. Before you judge me for putting clothes on my large dog: greyhounds have no body fat and need to wear a sweater in the winter!
