Hi!!
I'm a FTM to my baby girl Isla born on 11/28. She was my first pregnancy and I'm 99% sure we are one and done!! My husband and I have been married since 2010 but together since 2004. I'm still on maternity leave though the end of May and enjoying all this extra time with my baby girl. We live in Northern CA and both work for the State.
I was mostly a lurker during my pregnancy over on the bump but started to be more active after I gave birth. I love being able to talk to all you ladies who have babies the same age as my LO. It makes me feel less alone.
I intro'd in the n00b thread but figured it wouldn't hurt to intro here as well...
I was a lurker on TB beginning at the end (last 4 weeks or so) of pregnancy. Felt like I was missing out on sharing the experience since I didn't have any IRL friends who were pregnant at the time. Anyway, I didn't really post on TB but it was super helpful to follow along—especially during the crazy newborn phase! Thought this move to PB would be a good time to jump in and be more active.
I'm a FTM to DD, born on 11/27 via unplanned c-section. EBF. Southern California based. On maternity leave for about 6 more weeks and then headed back to work full time as a User Experience designer.
And as a UX designer, certainly enjoying the Tapatalk app more than that horrible, horrible TB app. That thing was the worst.

Trying this board out! I'm a FTM and I went from team green to team pink on November 15 . Hoping to keep in contact with the a amazing ladies who were on N14!!

I'll add my two cents just so it's all in one place.
I was very active on the dump from about May/June on, but then it went south. I'm a FTM and my little boy "Munchkin" arrived on Thanksgiving Day. We had a planned homebirth/water birth and are somehow still successfully ebfing. H and I have been married for almost 18 months. We moved 1,500 miles during our pregnancy so I have a new baby, and a new town as well. I'm a SAHM for right now, but am an American Sign Language interpreter by trade.

I never did an intro on here, so I might as well do one here. I was generally around on the Bump but did more lurking than posting. This is my fourth little one, so I mostly try to give opinions/experiences when called for. In particular, I like to jump in on discussions about VBACs since they're something I'm passionate about and I've now had three. I was making an effort to be more active before everything went up in smoke on the Bump, so now I'm going to give it a shot over here.

Hi all! I was a lurker in N14 throughout my pregnancy. I had DS on 11/12/14 via unplanned c section, but couldn't be happier. He was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate, but he is still the cutest thing this FTM has ever seen! I have been back at work for 2.5 weeks already but DH is at home taking great care of our little boy. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and sharing this wonderful (and crazy) experience.
Anyway, I am lissy. Was active on our BMB the whole pregnancy. Am a OB RN. Have two other kiddos (two boys, oldest is 4, middle is 2.5) besides our November '14 baby, who was born on 10.25.2014. We were team green and were thrilled when we found out she was our girl! She was our earliest baby and largest! Had her at 38w4d and she was 8lbs 13oz (G was born at 39w2d and was 7lbs 10, H was born on 7.31.2012 and 7lbs 10oz). All three were med free water births at at free standing birth center. I also breast fed/feed my kiddos and am also a CLC (helps with the job).
What else? I love wine (specifically dry reds. Love me a good cab sauv) and micro brews. I love Dave Matthews and Michael Jackson. I also love TV. Give me TWD, Grey's Anatomy, any cooking show (Top Chef, The Taste), MTV (The Challenge, Snookie & JWow), DWTS, Modern Family, BBT, OITNB, Call the Midwife...I could go on and on. I also like to run, but have a love/hate relationship with working out in general.
Heyyyooooo!!! I am loving you guys referring to it as the dump!! Lol....anywho...I am here!!! So glad you all are too! We are still missing a bunch of our regular ladies but I imagine they are probably all on Facebook.
I am glad to still be in touch with you all while boycotting the nazi website we all got to know each other on.
Hello! I introduced myself on TB around the time everyone jumped ship. I found the N14 group in late pregnancy but felt weird jumping in. Online shyness, I guess? After becoming a mom (feels so strange to say, still) I realized how much I enjoyed reading everyone's similar situations and that I could really benefit from the interaction. My LO, Emma, was born on 11/21 and I currently work from home, but I will be going back part time in March while my Mom watches LO. I live in Texas with my husband and we've been together for 10 years, married for 5. TTC for 2.5 years and never thought I'd get a BFP. So happy to be here. Just want to say a huge thank you to the regulars. Your stories and posts gave me support and helped me not feel so alone! Hate that I'm just now coming on board, but I hope you'll have me.
BTW, after catching up on all that went down - what a load of horseshit by TB. Shitty way to treat your clientele. I am kinda going to miss all the random drive by's and troll posts. Those always made me laugh. Especially the gif parties. You girls are pretty damn clever!
I only posted on the dump a handful of times but lurked since the second trimester. I was never able to get into the site from a computer and was mobile only. But! I'm excited to start participating more actively here!
About me: FTM from the Midwest. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and married for 4. We welcomed our LO (girl) via surprise csection after almost 24 hours of laboring without the babe descending on 11/19. We're going to be one and done biologically but might adopt in the future. Tbd!
Excited to get to know everyone and have a spot to commiserate and celebrate with other moms.
Hi all, I decided to post my intro here. I am also a long time lurker, honestly from the time I found out I was pregnant. The dump boards got me through my pregnancy, I'm a ftm and the knowledge and humor you all provided were invaluable! (Loved TMI Tues and WTF weds!) My baby girl Kennedy Faye was born 11/22 and I have really enjoyed reading about all of your LOs, and decided it was time for me to join in!
I was on N14 since my pee stick dried last February, but I couldn't access TB at work so I only really posted sporadically in the evenings. I'll probably unfortunately go back to posting sporadically when I go back to work next week.
Anyway, H and I have been together for 10.5 years, married for 2. DS is our first child - he was born 5 days late on 11.7. I work at a credit union. No furbabies because our current place doesn't allow them, but we hope to be buying our first house within the next year or two. I've been watching a ton of TV since being on mat leave - current favorite shows are Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Archer.
I'm really glad everyone is making the switch to PB!

I think I am becoming a little more known on N14 but still fairly new. I was scared to post before delivery because of my history of miscarriages. DS is our little miracle. After almost 6 years of TTC and many losses, we didn't think we would have a biological child. From Vermont. Married to my HS sweetheart for almost six years. Together for 11. I studied esthiology sciences and earned my Esthetician license. I love comic books, t.v. show fanatic (too many to name) art and music. Also a huge bookworm. I am happy to be joining over here

I'll post on here as well, especially we have more people participating now.
I was semi-active on the dump since about mid July, but lurked a little before then, was formally amadkins197 on there. FTM in the midwest as well, DH and I have been married for just over a year now but together 3. Henry was born 11/2 via unplanned c-section after doctors were worried he would get stuck bc of his size (he was 9lb 15oz!!). really excited that everyone is making the transition over to the PB, and that we can be ourselves over here. I also love tv, probably too much, but I'm alright with it.

Hi, ladies! I was Jan1214 on TB, but I always hated that SN. I'll use the same avatar once I figure out how. I didn't post a lot, but I've been a dedicated reader since my BFP. My baby boy was due 11/24, two days early. Everything went well, at least after the epidural. Ha! I'm excited to see all of you again! Cheers!

Hey all! I was an active poster on N14 since March. DS, Jakoby, was born on 11/30. I have a DD, Eveline, who turned two at the end of December. My FI and I will have been together for five years in April and have recently picked a wedding date in 2017.

I will reintro here as well to keep them all together. I am also a midwest FTM. Had our baby boy, Oliver on 11/21, 6 days early. He was 7 pounds, 10 ounces and 21 inches long. MH and I have been together 9 years, 3 years married, college sweethearts. We have 3 furbabies, 2 dogs and a cat. I am an early childhood special education teacher that also has all the students who are deaf/hard of hearing in our county. I will be on leave until the second week of Feb. So excited this board is becoming increasingly popular!

@millmom And kfo22 I lived in Texas for a good chunk of time and my parents and grandparents are still there. I miss it so much, especially during the winter
Hello! I was a semi-active poster although I was one of the first posters on N14. I had a really easy pregnancy so I afraid that I might come off as showing off when I would post and I was really busy trying to catch up on work before my maternity leave. Also, more importantly I never learned how to GIF! I regret not being more involved.
I've been married for 5 years to my college sweetheart and together for 10 this April. LO is our first and came early one week early on 11/3. I love to snowboard and scuba dive.

Hi ladies! I'll also re-intro so it's all consolidated.
I was a semi - active poster on "ThePlaceThatShallNotBeNamed". I had been active from I think March/April to October and took a little hiatus. My former name was Getzy with a cat avatar. I changed things up so I wouldn't have to worry about anonymity.
DD aka "Peanut" was born 2.5 weeks early on 11/1 and is DH's and my only child so far. We've been married since 2013 and have known each other 5 years. About me: I LOVE to read on my Kindle, go running when it's nice outside, play piano, and crochet (I'm a little old lady at heart)

zengal I gave you a love tit for everything in your post (especially the same wedding month- O13!), but I retract it for your love of the STL Cardinals. Boo.
Post by HutterFlutter on Jan 22, 2015 22:52:01 GMT -5
zengal That, and I'm an unfortunate Cubs fan for lyfe. Next year is our year! (Wait- don't we all say that every year?)
lissydee 10.19.13 for us! I think October is the best month for weddings because of the built in gorgeous backdrop for your pictures. Plus, the weather is usually beautiful.
