Hi moonandback! I'm glad to see many familiar faces. I'm Setsuna17. Same name as TCF. When I was TTC in 2010-2011 with DD I was ninasama on the Dump. I have a 5 year old DD who just finished pre-school and a 2 week old DS. I hung out on GKU a teensy bit but moved to the IF check in pretty quickly. It took us almost 3 years to get DS. I also hung out on the May17 bmb and pregnancy but he's here now so here I am. I also am a high school teacher on maternity leave until next school year. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I'm peacock. I used to be Priss08 on TD. I have an April 14 DS and a March 17 DD.
I'm impatiently waiting for DD to become an unsupported sitter, I find this phase very mentally taxing.

Hay.
I'm Waffles. I had just intro-ed on TCF before the implosion. My avatar is the same syruppy goodness as before. I'm 31, live in MN with my husband, DS (11 months), and dog (7 years). Before DS, I was on GKU and eventually 3TIF due to recurrent ovarian cysts. DS was the result of FET #2 and likely OAD. Hope we get to settle here and talk more about our special squishes!

Hi. I'm clemama24. I was the same/ladytiffany24 on TCF.
I live with DH, DD (2 yo) and DS (almost 11 weeks). We live in southwestern Ohio.
I started on TCF with my July 14 BMB until we moved to FB. I spent a lot of time on my local board as well but found my home on GKU when we started TTC DS. I then hung out a lot on March 17 when I got pregnant again. I also started to dabble on the Infants board and the Toddler one as well prior to the dumpster fire.
I like wine, GoT, the Bachelor/ette/in Paradise, Big Brother and Cleveland sports (Go Cavs).

Sup.
I'm whitney. Williefocker. Whatever.
I was on TTGP since 2012, then moved to GKU. 34 months of TTC landed me on D16 and infants.
Cincinnati. Semi-permanent maternity leave ;-)

Hi! I'm caer - same user name from TCF, slightly different avatar. I was on F14, M17, TTC > 35 and also briefly GKU and the IF boards.
I have 3 year old and 9 week old DSs. We dealt with 2IF and loss while trying for our second, so we're very excited he's finally here with us.
I'm an attorney turned SAHM. I love running, wine, craft beer, and Philadelphia sports. I look forward to getting to know you!

I'm here!
I'm OSW, same name on TCF. I came over from TD and with the mass exodus and really started PW'ing on GKU in the drinking threads. I had another screen name when we first started there but MH stalked me because of a FFFC so I changed my name. Didn't really help because he then stalked my new name. Anyways.
I have a 7 week old daughter - M. She's pretty cool, I'll keep her. We have a bunch of (orange) cats and one hyper almost 4 dog.

I have a 3 month old ds and we are mostly exclusive pumping - anyone else eping too ? Yes. We are. Baby didn't want to latch. She is EBF by EP and as of now has only had 1/4 ounce of formula her whole life (day 3 - I sobbed)

She is EBF by EP and as of now has only had 1/4 ounce of formula her whole life (day 3 - I sobbed) Yay I found a pumping friend. DS still needs formula every once in a while as I'm still struggling some days with keeping up with his milk demands. I cringe every time. But I try not to stress about it too much since that would make my supply issues worse. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Hi! I have two kids, a boy born in December 2014 and a girl born this past February. My boy was 9lbs 3oz when born but little miss was only 5lbs 11oz (full term, she was a due date baby) so it really has been completely different. I worry about her so much more, while at the same time feeling more comfortable as a newborn mom since I've been through it already. We've also had a lot of trouble getting her to gain weight, At almost 3 months she still only weighed 8lbs 1oz and that was considered progress because that had been her best weight gain yet. I obsess over her food intake and her general health much much more than I did over her brother's.
Other than that, I work full time, just went back to work at the beginning of May. I like working because it gives me some away time. We've been adjusting to trying to balance two, but now that our girl is a little older she's been smiling at and watching her big brother more so he's been more tolerant of her, thank god. In my non existent spare time I like to read, play video games and watch tv with my husband. We are currently finishing Parks and Rec.

mikaela20 and onesweetworld I also exclusively pump. It's a very long story but my baby just wasn't up to effectively nursing and we didn't find out that she wasn't getting enough until the end of a three day hospital stay. After five visits with the lactation consultant, I decided to preserve my sanity and just move to exclusively pumping instead of even attempting to try to breastfeed anymore. Plus I kinda love it because I produce enough during the day that I cut out my overnight pumping sessions. Now my husband has to do wake ups on Friday and Saturday nights. I didn't get to sleep through the night for my son's first year so this has been lovely!!!

I loved (for the most part) having sisters close in age but as a parent making that possible is challenging. All the coffee, and wine, to you!

@lovestoread our kids are pretty close in age but our BF issues were flip flopped. DS is Aug14 and my supply had already tanked by the time I got the proper help. He was always skinny.
DD is Jan17, arrived a lb smaller but her gain has been steadier. She's 40% so still little but she looks chunky compared to DS. Props for pumping, that's so hard. I do it at work but its nearly impossible to pump at home with two kids.
I hope you can worry less about DD soon

I hope you can worry less about DD soon I'm incredibly lucky that I haven't had supply issues or I would have never have made it. I move my pumping sessions to when my husband is home. So right now I do 5am on weekdays, 8 on weekends, 2pm on workdays, 5pm on the days I'm off, and then 8:30pm every day. So it's crazy, but it gets us through.

Hi, I'm ktg. I have a July'15 girl and a Feb'17 boy. I live in NM (hi, annanas and thelittleredm!) with my husband, and we also have a Boston Terrier and a cat. I am a SAHM. Pretty crunchy but not as an identity - more convenience/cheap/lazy. Cloth diaper, breastfeeding, and baby wearing, mostly. Outside of motherhood, I am a singer. I dabble in fiber arts. I love hiking and biking riding.
