Where are you from: Now in the DFW metroplex, originally from AZ
How many children: 2
Two random facts about you: I'm a classically trained singer and have sung the National Anthem at a couple major league sporting events. I was almost hit by lightening in college and temporarily lost my hearing from the thunder percussion.
What was your favorite F14 moment? I guess I don't really have a favorite "moment". I tend to stick to threads that have a pointed question, rather than get embroiled in the debate threads.
I guess I will play. Might as well stop being a lurker. Not sure what my sn is anymore. I am from Kansas. I have four kids. Three boys and one girl. I am 29 and my boyfriend is much older. Our February baby was a surprise to us. I now have two February babies. Both my youngest boys were born in February. My kids are 7,5,3 and 9 weeks. Two random things about me....hmm I like to fish and I like cats. Favorite Feb14 moment... probably seeing all the babies!
Here is a picture of my feb14 baby. Sorry if its huge I've never posted a picture before and don't know how to make it smaller.

Yay LOs birthday twin!
He is actually born on the 20th, I just don't add all the days when I say how old he is. I probably did with my first, but its just easier to say 9 weeks than 9 weeks 2 days.
Hey f14 I posted on here for a bit at the beginning of pregnancy but then got scared (haha) and went back to my lurking ways. This is the perfect opportunity to come out and play
My names is Gwen and I'm from Wales in the UK, my husband is from Seattle WA. My February baby is my first. Jacob was born on the 17th of February by emergency c section.
Two random facts about myself: 1) My girl crush is Mila Kunis. 2) I think Leonard from the Big Bang Theory's so Hot!
Favourite F14 moment: I don't remember who told this story but I think it was in one of the random threads. Someone said they'd been on Skype with their grandma and she was naked!!!! She didn't realise they could see her too. I laughed randomly for days haha
This is a picture of my beautiful Jacob ( no idea how to turn it sorry )
My husband and I met in college in MN and after brief grad school forays out of state, we settled back in the homeland :-) We were supposed to have a February baby and I've been lurking since almost the beginning, so when we had an end of January baby I stuck around. We also have a 2 year old fur baby.
My favorite F14 moments are too many to list, but I definitely was excited for my 'altrasound' and am loving the MIL/IL posts.
Random facts about me? I don't think I am a very interesting person but the ones I always use in icebreakers are that I was an All-American collegiate athlete and my secret career aspiration is to be a chef. I settle for crockpot cooking at the moment though....because newborn.
And hopefully the picture will load, but here are my babies!
I've been luking since 6 weeks but was too scared to post. I live in the country in central Illinois. I am married to my HS sweetheart. I am in HR.. he farms( currently I am playing single mom bc it's busy time)

Name (sn is fine): My screen name is Lemon81.
Where are you from: I am from Southern Ohio.
How many children: LO is my first baby. She was born on February 19th. She is doing great and had her 2 months shots yesterday. I am not sure who was more traumatized by them, me or her. I also have a stepdaughter who is 4 who I love dearly. I have been in her life since she was right at 1 year old. My husband and I have been married for almost 3 years.
Two random facts about you:
#1. I did mission work in Honduras and would love to go back. I plan to take LO there for a short term mission (1 to 2 weeks) as soon as she is old enough, probably 8 or 10 years old.
#2 I teach 6th grade math and science. I love my job and was so worried I would spend my whole maternity leave worried about what was going on at school. I was so wrong! I would rather spend time with my girl and didn't even care. I go back in 2 weeks and am dreading leaving her!
What was your favorite F14 moment? I don't really remember a particular moment, I have just gotten a lot of great information from you ladies! I hope to get to know you all better since I am finally coming out of the lurker corner!
I tried to update my signature with a pic of LO. I guess I will find out if it worked!

Random facts are so hard to think of.. Soccer is always the first to come to mind, I love the sport and have played since I was little. Second, would be that I've been told I have a slight Vera Bradley problem. I love their entire line. although I can't bring myself to spend so much money on the new boys clothes they came out with lol.
My favorite moments are the middle of the night posts, they crack me up! And I had nightmares from the one about ghosts and things.
Here's a pic of my cutie patootie and my favorite face he makes
@Mommyof42014 What part of Kansas? There might finally be someone near me! I think you are still probably the closest. I'm in the OK panhandle. @Gwen & kevin bambinoo squeee!

Oh cool...that board is like a ghost town. I haven't checked it in a while. I'm in Aliso Viejo. Did you get that PM about a week ago from somebody on that board wanting to start a fb group?? I thought it was odd since I had never seen their name before.
Yeah, I've noticed it's a ghost town too. I did get a PM too. Weird!

I live in Ontario, Canada.
I had my first child Feb 10/14. His name is Nathaniel and we love him to pieces :x
I can't say I have any super interesting facts but I will say two. 1. I have worked with children since I was young. I currently work with young preschoolers. They are such bright children and I have to admit, I miss them since starting mat leave. Don't get me wrong I love may leave haha. 2. I love animals. I grew up having a dad for a vet, so I have been surrounded by animals. I get super angry when I hear and/read about the mistreatment of animals. I know this sounds crazy but I somehow feel connected to them and hate seeing any animals treated poorly. If I see a spider or any insect in my house I attempt to capture it and let it outside haha.
Favourite moment would have to be when I first had Nathaniel and was up most of the night I would enjoy reading about other ladies who were up and what they were doing. I still laugh at the lady who was snacking and looked down at her LO noticing all the crumbs that had fallen onto her LO head
One more thing - big thanks to those who have consistently posted. It has been great reading various posts over the past few months. Hopefully, since I have officially come out of the closet, I will now take part in many discussions
