Re-Intros?

[winnifred]

Hi everyone! I'm seeing a few users that don't look familiar to me, and I thought maybe a re-intro post might be a good idea!

Tell us a little about yourself, your kid/s, etc.

[winnifred]

I'll go first

I'm formerly known as Mrs.Matt (aka the dumbest screen name ever) but changed it to my current sn maybe a year ago. I started over on TB in whatever used to be their GKU board and moved into the IF/IVF boards there and on TCF.

After trying for 3.5 years, we finally got lucky and my DD was born last December. She's now 5 months old and amazing. Our first couple of months were really rough and I had a lot of emotional problems/anxiety/sleeplessness... but things have been going much better the last few months. I'm in MI and I work in the nonprofit field. I love wine, getting outdoors, playing with the baby and our goldendoodle.

Hpnegirl here. I've apparently gone back to my original TB name (oops?).

I have two kids- DS1 (J) is my Jan'15 baby; DS2 (A) is my Apr'17 baby.

Originally started on TB on TTGP and graduated to Jan'15 until the implosion during our birth month. Tried it over on dumpster site but never really hung around and eventually deleted my account for privacy reasons. I made a new account when expecting DS2 and played on April 17, May 17, and pregnancy. I started dabbling on infants and toddlers when the dumpster fire went down. Now I'm here

I love beer and wine.

[hurricanerek]

I'm hurricanerek. I just started posting in this group a few weeks ago. I have Aug14 and S16 DDs and I also hang out on the breastfeeding board since I'm a counselor with Breastfeeding USA and I'm tandem nursing my girls.

One day I'll get on a laptop and fix my profile.

Hi everyone! My name and pic are the same. I had 2 bmb's Jan15 and Dec16. So, I have a 2.5 yo and a 6 mo. I was on GKU for my 2nd as well as the Preg board. I work in Finance, live in Chicago, and baking used to be my hobby. My free time is now spent on keeping clothes clean and feeding little people.

How did I not realize you're from Chicago?! LOL We're just across the lake from each other!




This is my tired Friday look, don't judge. At least I somehow found the energy to wave "hello!" LOL

My fb profile isn't complete, I did see where you live...I've visited! We used to take week long family trips around theres. 

[winnifred]

littlelion, nice!! Let me know if you ever need recommendations, we love to explore all of the beach towns and the restaurants here locally

[ceejay]

Hi ladies! I'm ceejay (same name and avatar as TCF). We are foster parents to three brothers - ages 3.5, 22 months, and 3 months. We've had the older two boys for 20 months now, and their case is heading towards adoption (still a long way to go). Our baby was placed with us when he was born 3 months ago and is considered a brand new case, but we hope to be able to adopt him someday as well. On TCF, I was on GKU for about 2 years, on 3T/IF for a year, but lately I'd been mostly posting on Adoption/Foster Care, Infants, and Toddlers.

I'm in the Chicago area (Hi neighbor littlelion !) and work as a scientist for a large biotech/pharma company. My main hobby is running but I don't have as much time for that now as I used to!

[moutonrouge]

Hi! I'm Mouton - same name as TCF but I'm not sure what my avatar is doing. I played on TTGP briefly on TD and GKU, M17, and Infants on TCF. I have a 2.5 month old DD and live in the DC metro area with DH and our dog.

[annanas]

Hello everyone! My name is annanas and I'm brand new to message boards in general. I lurked TCF April bmb but it was pretty much non existent. DH and I have been married almost 6years and we have a 2yr old DD and DS was born 5weeks ago.

We live in New Mexico and I'm mostly a SAHM - I work two days a week facilitating new employee orientation at my company.

I don't know what else to put, so ask me any questions 😊

Welcome! I have an Aug14 DS. There are quite a few of us both here and on the Toddler/Preschool board. Thumbs up for tandem nursing, that was not for me. I weaned DS when he was 25 months.

[silvermelody]

Hello! My name and avatar are the same from TCF. I was an active member of Aug14 and Jan 17. DS is 2.75 yo and DD(also called N) is 4 months.

I originally came from TD but had a different username and avatar there, I was part of Aug14 there and rarely ventured out of it.

At TCF I mostly stuck to my BMBs and Pregnancy, though the last month or so I was active on Infants and also Toddlers. I occasionally venture into Parenting (now General).

I work full time, my DH is the SAH parent who also works PT. We are in Northern California. I'm originally from WNY.

I'm semi-crunchy: all about breastfeeding and babywearing, but not into cloth diapers or BLW or making my own baby food.

[ambiguousmango]

Hey! My name and avatar are the same from TCF but I stuck mostly to my bmb (Jan 17) and just recently had been venturing out when the dumpster fire happened.

I have a 4 month old boy Q and he lights up my world. I am a FTM and have all the questions so I will probably be bugging you guys a lot.

[thelittleredm]

I'm a full-time working mom living in NM. I have two boys, N (3.5yr) and W (4.5 months). I mostly hung out on my BMB (Jan17) and stalked GKU but I swear I'm getting better about moving around boards! I may or may not spam you guys with a bunch of kid with puppy pictures because those are the only types of pictures I seem to post now that we have our new corgi pup.

[hurricanerek]

Thanks for the welcome silvermelody! Yay for Aug14 kids! C actually had a July due date so that's my bmb.

I love the term semi-crunchy. I like to refer to myself as accidentally crunchy. I'm crunchy in a lot of ways but only because it's convenient and/or less expensive.

I guess I'm semi crunchy too. Both babies were water births, one at home. All about breastfeeding too

I'm Sterl. I was on tcf, mostly on M17and had just started playing in infants when the melt down happened.

I'm a mom to C (almost 3 months), a high school teacher, and am really looking forward to drinking a beer in an hour or two!

[pippa]

Yo. Still Pippa. Same avatar. Just dropped the cricket because no one really used that portion of my name anyways.

N is my DD. She's 7.5 months old and she's just the best. DH and I have been married for almost 8 years. We live in New England and I'm a pharmacist.

[Nymeria]

Hey! I'm Nymeria (formerly LadyNymeria, but same pic). I have a S'16 DS and a 3 1/2 year old yellow lab. Still breastfeeding and hoping to make it to a year. I work full-time, but currently get to work from home a couple days a week.

Current conversations have MH and I planning to start TTC #2 next spring after DS hits 18 months.

[silvermelody]

annanas I would have loved water births and tried to do DS without pain meds but wound up with two c-sections because of gestational diabetes. Myself and the kiddos are healthy though so I honestly don't have too many regrets about that.

[moonandback]

Oh heey! I'm new here. I have 3 kiddos 5yo DD, 2yo DS, and 7 week old DS2. On TD I was primarily on the July '11 BMB, Nov '14 BMB my regional board. Then I moved over to TCF and found my Baby Gear ladies. And now I need a new landing spot! My BG friends migrated to FB.

I'm a full time teacher on maternity leave. This is my last kiddo. Happy to be joining you!

[dashook]

So now we can refer to both "the exodus" and "the dumpster fire." I like it. I like it a lot.

Puppy! Let's get this picture party started!!

[dashook]

Oh, and hi!  I'm dashook.  Same avatar; my username on TD and TCF was ACH831 but my display name was dashook.  Not confusing at all.

Anyway I am an attorney in the Boston area and mommy to my DS (Jan.'15) and DD (Nov.'16).  I was active in my J'15 BMB on TD and migrated to TCF during the Exodus.  I stayed on J'15 but it was a very small group since we lost a lot of people given that the Exodus happened during our birth month.  Pretty quickly I started playing on other boards, including Breastfeeding, TTA, and GKU, until I got KU again and joined N'16.  That's kind of my home base now but I had recently started posting on Infants, Toddlers, and Working Parents before the Dumpster Fire.

So that's my resume, I guess.  I have interests outside of forums too, I swear.  Those include wine, beer (IPAs), cooking, Orangetheory, and the World Champion New England Patriots.

[mintyblueair]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this group but have been lurking and sporadically posting in the Cloth Diaper group for about a year.

I have an almost 11 month old baby boy (named L) and my husband and I are talking about ttc #2 soon. We live in Canada and have been married for 6 years. I'm a PhD student so I'm a part-time SAHM and the other half of the time I'm holed up somewhere trying to write. My hobbies are reading, baking, having coffee with my mom, and walking

[thelittleredm]

Puppy. Her name is Cinnabun.

I honestly didn't know if I could do it but it worked to first time so I thought I'd be crazy, try it a second time at home. I'm glad you have no regrets, the outcome was still a beautiful one 😊
