So I mainly lurked during my pregnancy and didn't post anything, but I've been posting quite a bit lately so I thought I would introduce myself!
My name is Jocelyn and my LO Madelyn was born 11/28. She'll be 4 months next week! Cue tears. I am a SAHM but before LO was born I was a property claims adjuster for a big insurance company. I am 23 and my husband is 25 and we live in the DFW metroplex (that's Texas y'all ) I would love to know if any of you ladies are in the area! Since we got started young, I don't really have any friends with babies so it has been great having this board for the past 4 months. I love reading about your darlings and learning new parenting tips and tricks. (If only I could get little miss to actually sleep somewhere other than my bed)
Anyway, that's my little intro. Those of you that are active on here, I'd love to hear more about you!
Re: hello!
As a SAHM with no friends with babies, how do you typically spend your social time? Whenever my friends want to do stuff in the evenings, I can't because of Jane's bedtime.
what social time? Ha. I typically just spend time with DH in the evenings because LO goes down around 8. If we do stuff on the weekends I just take her with me! I used to be so nervous to take her to things in case she melted down but now we just try and if she hates it we leave, no big deal. Last weekend we went to an NBA game and she was a perfect angel (and she tends to be a difficult baby)
A few times I have gone out with a friend in the evening and left LO with DH, so that's always an option too.
I used to be semi active during the pregnancy but now I mostly lurk due to the over abundance of Dr appointments for both LO and I.
I'm from Illinois, currently a SAHM but that's about to change hopefully by the end of next month.
I have a 3 year old daughter named Lena and a 4 month daughter named Payton both via C-section.
I live in Calgary, Canada. My baby Benjamin was born November 17th and I have a 2.5 year son named Asher. Good to hear more about you guys and be on this board
