I've been here off and on since I was 4 weeks pg, but my time for bumping varies so I mostly lurk

I've turned into the ultimate lurker and it makes me so sad! I miss my bumping. MJ eats so quickly now that I don't have near the internet time that I used to!
I'm destined to be a lifetime lurker. Every time I try to get more active on the board life happens. I'm just not good enough at multi tasking to keep up with it, so I just pop in from time to time
Aww, thanks @GiggleJiggle. I like to keep up with everyone, and I get so much helpful information from all of you ladies. It just seems every time I log on the Spam thread has 500 new posts. So I mostly only drop into the advice posts here and there and never really get to partake in the fun ones
I lurk. I've been here since early pregnancy and posted a few times but mostly just lurk. I like to answer the poll questions, it's my way of participating without putting myself out there.
I'm a lurker too. I post here and there, but I don't get as much bump time as I'd like.
Re-intro: DD waited until July 6th to make her appearance, but I love you ladies so I never ventured to that BMB. I stay at home and I'm also a Professional Organizer (my own business). Hmm, what else? DH and I have 3 dogs. And I'm obsessed with Las Vegas.

DD was perfectly healthy at 6 pounds, 14 ounces. We are thrilled!!
I'm a lurker. Sometimes I come out and play but usually my whole day is filled with cleaning up the same messes over and over again and being personal assistant/chauffeur to my children. Also, the smallest one wants the computer more than anything in life so I can only nest bump when he's asleep. When he sleeps, usually I want to do nothing for a change so I do that )
I love this board though. It's my favorite board I've ever been on anywhere on The Nest. I feel like it's a little safe haven from the craziness that can be The Nest.

Where do you live? Can I ask you about a situation I just had with an organizer where I live (Chicago, in case it isn't obvious)?
Sure! Send me a PM if you wish, I'm in NC.

I post occassionally, but I'm mostly a lurker because The Bump used to be blocked at work. I'm a teacher, so I don't get much time to bump at work anyway. Now that things are slowing down as the year comes to a close and the site is no longer blocked, I hope to post more often.
Hi! I don't post very often but I'd like to be more active. My name is Megan, I'm a FTM. DD was born June 24th. I live in Iowa. Been married 3 years on the 14th. I'm a hairstylist but am currently going back to school for nursing (totally stressful with an active LO!) I work very part time around my husband, who is a machine operator. LO is on the verge of walking any day now and I don't know whether to be excited or terrified!
Another lurker here! I posted during my pregnancy under the user name sap275 and through a snafu when the bump changed formats had to change my user name. I also have intro'd a few times but with limited time and now bumping on mobile I don't often post.
My little one was due June 28 but since I was diagnosed with Vasa Previa and spent the last month of my pregnancy in the hospital under 'watch' and I had her on May 27 via planned C-section exactly one month early. My job was eliminated while I was on mat leave so now my year is almost done and I am begruddingly looking for a job.
@smittie417 Tell me about your job! Maybe in another life that's what I could be
@kelly422 I love my job! I help people organize any room in their home. Usually we start with decluttering, and then I come up with a system to keep the remaining belongings organized. I usually work one on one with the client.
It is a great feeling to be able to help people. It is what I love to do, and I get to set my own schedule. It's a win win!
(people always ask me if I work with hoarders, I do not. But there are organizers who do, it is just not for me.)

I missed you @ohheyholly your screen name is awesome!
eta: I just realized I may have gone missing for part of the time you were gone, so may not recall who I am with my name change. Hopefully my avatar helps.
I'm guilty. I have followed the board almost since i found out I was pregnant, but I do not post often. Partially because I feel like nobody likes lurkers...I do vote in polls though and those are fun. I have learned about almost everything from here so I'm very grateful for the board and for every advice (though not necessarily directed at me). It has kept me sane on many sleepless nights. I also follow the May board because it gave me a preview of what to expect. I'm a FTM to a little boy. My LO was born on June 12 (due June 7). I tried to go without pain meds but caved at the last moment. Maybe I'll try next time. Not sure what else to add. Figured this was a good opportunity to intro since I can't remember if I ever have.
Soooo... I was here all throughout pregnancy and then TB upgraded their site and I couldn't log on at work. Guess who just got a new work computer and can now visit TB?!?! Y'all will likely be 'seeing' a lot more of me now
Re-intro I guess, even though I'm an 'oldie'? I have a son, J (Jay is his actual name and I like to abbreviate it with just the letter because I can), who was born on July 8th. I have probably one of the youngest June babies due to having the last June EDD (6/30) and my kiddo deciding he was super comfy and didn't want to leave until he was forced to. As of now he's our one and only. Hopefully we will add to the flock sometime in the near-ish future.
I'll come out and play now! I've been lurking here since early pregnancy and am pretty much on here everyday. I don't know why I've never did an intro but I guess now is as good a time as any! I'm a FTM, DS born June 9th! Married for almost 3 years. I work full time but hoping to be able to stay home with LO one day. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm super excited to be more active here now! (:
