Hi All, also long time lurker here but finally wanted to get over the shyness and say hello! I've hit Love it on a lot of your amazing posts over the past few months and wanted to thank u all for sharing your experiences, since they are something to learn from and also get the occasional giggle or misty eye from. DD was also born 6/21, a wonderful Father's Day present and summer solstice baby!
Hi!! Names Maria, I'm 25 and from Dallas, TX (yeehaw, jk we don't really do that here lol). I just recently started posting but have been religiously lurking since November. FTM to baby Mia who was born on June 9th. Looking forward to learning new things from you experienced moms and getting positive support from others going through the same issues I'm going through.
Hello! My name is Samantha, I had our first baby, a little girl, on June 19th. I've used the app to track my pregnancy and after my daughter was born, I discovered the boards! Haven't posted a whole lot, but I'm thankful for an outlet to keep my sanity! I'm thankful everyone seems really nice so far! :x
I didn't see this thread earlier so I will introduce myself formally now! My name is Amy, and I live in Lisle, IL (suburb of Chicago). I'm 36 going to be 37 on the 30th. My son Spencer (I still love saying my son!) was born on 6/10. After 3 years of TTC and 3 losses I am over the moon happy to be a Mommy! I love this forum because it makes me not feel crazy and alone in this wild journey of motherhood! Thanks for all of the advice and support!
I'm in Elgin. I don't think there are too many other people from il on this board. Nice to meet you! My son was born 6/15. Ftm as well and I just turned 32 on the 14th of July. Also my name is shannon.
I'm also from IL. Small town in the northwestern part of the state. Been to the Lisle and Elgin areas quite a bit. And @janit368 I'm an ISU grad, so I've lived down your way too.
Hi! I've been lurking since mid-May but just lately registered to post.
I'm a mom of three: 4 yo (well, next week) boy, 2 yo boy, and 4 week old girl. I'm from Michigan but we live in Nebraska and I stay home with them.
It's funny, when I first found this board I thought "Man, these women can be cranky sometimes." But now that the babies are here I've realized that of course you were cranky! You were all 8 or 9 months pregnant. I wasn't a peach most days either!
Hi ladies I've been lurking since 4 weeks pregnant just become FTM to Connor born 30th of June. I've just started posting more and more and wanted to finally introduce myself.
I'm 21 and I live Australia. I also just wanted to thank all you ladies for making me realise I'm not the only one going through these crazy thoughts and feelings and thanks for keeping me some what sane look forward to posting more.
I am a married, 1st time mom to a little boy (I have 3 sisters and 4 nieces so he is the first boy in my family in 26 years!). I also have 3 fur babies whom I feel really helped prep me for this mom stuff haha! I have posted a few times, but mainly have just been following everyone else's post. I have you say you all have kept me sane! Whenever I'm having trouble with something it's so comforting to know that I'm not the only one going through it! Thank you all!!
Hi Ladies! I lurked a little during my pregnancy, but A LOT after LO was born, so I thought I should start posting. Reading everyone's posts has kept me sane in the middle of the night.
I'm a STM with a lively 4yo and now a LO who is 7 weeks old. Having TWO kids is no joke!
Hello! I'm a 29yo FTM, six weeks PP. I live in Las Vegas with my hubby, baby boy, two French bulldogs and one Cornish Rex kitty. I get to stay home and EBF. I just weighed my baby this morning and he is 13lb! So chunky! I'm in love with him...
