Recovering Lurker

CaliforniaPeach · February 2014

Hey, Bumpies,

I have planning writing an intro since I started lurking forever ago...but I kept chickening out. You guys seems like Bump celebrities to me, and I started to get intimidated. Plus I didn't think I'd be around that long. I'm still here, so I figured I may as well start actively contributing. I promise to search before posting for advice. I won't be too sensitive or too judgmental.

I'm a FTM from Southern California (I live in the IE). I'm a first grade teacher, and I will be returning to work the first week of April. Pre-baby I used to sew and crochet. Post baby I enjoy Netflix and naps.

I was induced on December 11 and on December 12 I gave birth to the sweetest baby girl.

We love our Moby wrap, Rock N' Play, and lots and lots of rice cereal. J/k on the rice cereal

I'm pro-baby leggings, or at least I think I will be once my LO's legs get long enough.

That's a bit about me, so when you see my name by a comment, you can be assured that it's not "stranger danger."

Hi!

CaliforniaPeach · February 2014

Wow! Big names are replying!

@Cashingn2 I have never really followed a message board/ I wasn't sure if I had much to contribute. And, for some reason, I thought I would be done with the Bump when my baby was born - but really that's just the beginning.

Ktrue85 · February 2014

I approve.

Welcome to the crazy train! Make sure to avoid Supergirl2013 - she likes to blame mothers for their premature babies.

CaliforniaPeach · February 2014

SSS is a legend! Her board recaps are epic.

KFED103 · February 2014

Welcome!

I was raised and lived in Corona until just a few years ago. I live in Denver now but all our family is still there. (for now lol)

Netflix and naps are my friends too!

imrachellea · February 2014

I should have put this on FFFC (didn't) but I thought I'd be done with TB once LO was here too but I just love it too much. Seriously, you get to know all the regs personalities and feel like we're friends IRL rather than creepy internet friends :-P

Welcome!

Hi! I'm a recovering lurker too!

CaliforniaPeach · February 2014

I'm finishing up One Tree Hill, but I think they should have quit before 9 seasons. I loved the first few seasons.

I'm also into Parenthood, Greys Anatomy, and Switched at Birth. Occasionally I like some Toddlers and Tiaras. My sister has been recommending The Bourgias, but I haven't started it yet.

imrachellea · February 2014

Parenthood started again last night YAY!!! I'm not ashamed to admit I watched the entire season on mat leave...

Love switched at birth! I only got to see the first season, but it's one if my faves!

By the way, Welcome!

lilypienmessimy · February 2014

Welcome back! I loveeee Parenthood, it's the best ever!

CaliforniaPeach · February 2014

It's a terrible show, but pretty entertaining. Not to mention the educational value - I'm learning about what kind of parent I don't want to be.

Kelamz · February 2014

Welcome! We just started devouring house of cards. Have you started that on Netflix?

peitri · February 2014

Welcome! I love me some Netflix and On Demand. I watch way too much tv.

CaliforniaPeach · February 2014

@Kelamz We watched part of the first episode but I couldn't hear it over a fussing baby. We'll have to give it another try.

The real question is, do you iron your jeans?

Do you even WEAR pants?

CaliforniaPeach · March 2014

I hate ironing. No, I don't iron my jeans.

I do wear pants. Lately mostly yoga/lounge pants.

Not really, though, because I don't care what people watch lol.

Chillpr is that you???
Haven't seen her much lately, maybe she wanted a do over? lol. Kidding, OP....but, if anyone can find out, Heaven can.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

@hercules03 Go Hawks!

thebobloblaw · March 2014

I'm late to this welcome party and searched for an appropriate gif, but the ones that came up had me wondering if my judgement was a bit off this late at night. So all I got is hi and welcome!

cammyisagirlsname · March 2014

Welcome! I definitely didn't think I'd be here this long, but I just can't leave! Glad you're no longer in hiding.

HareemVaiyani · March 2014

Well, this is the first one I wanted to make work. Because a creepy giraffe totally says hi and welcome, right?

It's the weekend and I'm totally MIA from TB on the weekends because I live in the sticks. Creepy country folk.

Welcome OP! Congrats on your little girl. We got 2 more inches of snow last night. Go take a walk outside for me, will ya?

I don't know. It's supposed to be kinda chilly today. It's only like 68 outside right now.

j/k This walk's for you!
