I can go here? (An intro)

[ambiguousmango]

Hello, it is official my husband and I are actively trying to get pregnant!

Me: 27 I work in the travel industry, currently live in New Orleans, am mostly excited about ttc (the other 10% is terrified but I think everyone gets nervous) and I love watching shows about eating healthy and being active while I binge eat junk food.

H: 30 in May, is finishing his Ph.D. In Psychology, acts like a kid while grocery shopping, knows more bout movies than I can fathom, and is way to good for me

Fur babies 2

Batman: short haired black cat. He acts like a dog, wants to be petted ALL the time, and will seriously growl at people who stand outside our door.

Grayson: long haired gray cat, sidekick to batman. He is a very talkative cat who loves to be held like a baby.

Thanks guys! I am naturally more of a lurker in general (been scoping out the place for the last two months) but you all seems so positive and fun I couldn't help but want to participate!

Welcome!

I might ask you some questions about New Orleans since I'll be there for a conference in June. I am so excited to go even though I won't have a ton of time for tourism!

There are so many good places to go! Will you be staying in the French Quarter? Thing you must have; beignets, a muffuletta, and it will still be crawfish season so get some as well. I am not originally from New Orleans but I have learned that almost everywhere has good food story it all! Also not sure where you are coming from but it will be HOT so try to pack light breathable clothes.

I'll be staying in the Central Business District according to Google Maps. I hope there's still good food there. I'll make it to the French Quarter at least one night. Thanks for the dish suggestions!

the CBD is right next to the French Quarter, you can walk. If your traveling alone you can also Über, it is awesome!

Welcome to the board. I hope your stay is short. Good luck!

Oh and your cats sound awesome- love the names!

[wannabmama]

Welcome!
I used to have a dog-cat, he was the coolest.
(Now I have a cat-cat and she spends most of her time hating me, yelling at me to feed her, or recently trying to fool me that she doesn't hate me by spending approximately two minutes a day cuddling with me before scratching my arm or leg and running away.)
I hope your stay is short and sweet!

I've been lurking, but had to throw this in there. I used to live there and frequent it often before I lived there. If you get the chance to try out Oceana, it's a must. I'm very picky about seafood since I grew up in Southwest LA, but I love Oceana and it's open 24 hours. BEST crab cakes ever with a buttery crawfish sauce on top.  It's on the corner by the Royal Sonesta.  You won't regret!
