Congrats Ladies!

Hello, I'm Ally

FTMs, this is a great board and you'll get a lot of support here, welcome!

STMs, guess what? You are still going to learn a lot this time around! I know I did and likely still will this time.

Any other TTMs or beyond? I am eager to hear how things go with all of you and how everything compares!

Congratulations to all of you Beautiful Baby Bakeries, I'm excited to get acquainted with you and get to share all of our experiences

This is my 4th! I'm feeling excited, because I've heard that after 3, things are a breeze!

PrimRoseMama · February 2016

Third time around here! I am still just flying by the seat of my pants!

Jen080916 · February 2016

Third time mom checking in! I was finally getting to a more settled in stage with both kids in school and doing well, and I'm starting all over again! I'm so excited about already knowing the ropes and having a chance to do certain things differently now that I know better!

katylady09 · February 2016

3rd timer here, too. It's nice knowing the ropes and not being so overwhelmed and in planning mode!

mothernorth · February 2016

@sparklegrump How was your third time??? @primrosemama @hotmessexpress0809 @katylady09 and myself are probably all curious

Edit: I left myself out the first time I posted this haha

Sally1990 · February 2016

This is my 5th pregnancy and hopefully will be my 3rd baby

kelliott09 · February 2016

Third timer here! Adding the 2nd was a breeze because my oldest was almost 11 and a great helper! Now I have an 18 month old that is a hot mess and I'm a bit terrified, I'm not going to lie.

Sticky baby dust your way, keep that chin up! @sally1990
@kelliot09 My son is only 6 months so I'm sitting here trying to prepare myself for the insanity that will insue once this little one is here! I also have a 4-year-old girl and an 8-year-old step son. Step DS is super helpful, DD is still dealing with a little baby jealousy though so fingers crossed for at least a semi-smoothe transition!

AshleyGemini24 · February 2016

4th pregnancy. Hopefully my 1st baby.

@AllyTheKid : I know on babycenter and other social media that "baby dust" is often used to communicate "good luck" and "best wishes" for a healthy pregnancy/baby. However, the culture of TB is a little bit different. I wanted to warn you and advise you against any kind of "baby dust" type sentiment. For Loss Moms (like myself) it can call to mind a baby's ashes in their urn. So, it can be a painful reminder. I know you didn't mean it like that, but I wanted to let you know that it can hurt active posters and lurkers alike. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

@sparklegrump How was your third

So much easier than it was going from one to two. So much.

Me too. Hopefully 4th time's the charm for us.

skyemarie09 · February 2016

I'm so confused by all the acronyms

OrangeEv · February 2016

@skyemarie09 FTM is first time mom, STM is second time mom, TTM is third time mom.

This is my first and I'm looking forward to have more experienced people to go to for all the knowledge. Even if you tell me you're making it up as you go, I'm going to bet you have a full blown arsenel of information.

@AllyTheKid "beautiful baby bakeries" I love it

mothernorth · February 2016

@primrosemama gosh I'm sorry I didn't know

I've seen it on here plenty in my old birthclub (the bump is the only community I have ever been in) but I won't say it anymore I assure you!

@skyemarie09 When I first joined the bump I refused to use the acronyms but they eventually gre on me haha I didn't understand this "baby language"

@sparklegrump I hope I am as fornuate!

@orangeev I am currently compiling a list of completely fabricated "experience and advice" just for you haha

PrimRoseMama · February 2016

@AllyTheKid : Its ok, its very common in other communities. Just not here. Thank you for being awesome!

Hillzy30 · February 2016

Second timer here...just hoping to get over the nervousness for the time being.

nsquaredlife13 · February 2016

STM and I'm pretty sure I forgot most of what I learned as a FTM the day my LO was born. I'm sitting here like " can I eat this?"

bornmommy · February 2016

TTM (hopefully) here. For some reason TTM looks like TNT to me... And, if this baby hangs around, I'll have 3 under 5... Maybe it's an omen for my life when this baby comes
