Intro/AMA

[blueskiessmiling]

Since I sort of de-lurked in my call out in the Friday randoms, I figured I might as well do it here too! I've lurked between May and June since my BFP, and ended up with a May baby. DD will be 10 months on the 21st. She's my rainbow after losing her brother shortly after birth (which is what made me too scared to jump in while pregnant- PGAL brain is tough). Rather than me rambling about myself, I'll let you choose the questions!

Do you work? SAH?

I'm a physical therapist for a school district and work 2 days a week, but will probably SAH after this school year.

What poster do you connect with most?

This is tough! I'm not sure there's one specific person. In general, I'd say anyone who has a kid that doesn't sleep has me saying "lyfe twins"

Who do you think if the funniest poster?

Who would you advice?

Who do you side eye?

Tell us all the things about us.

I for sure used to side eye demanda. So that's one thing I can tell you about the board! I can also tell you that the dynamic here is pretty awesome and generally supportive. Plenty of STMs+. OUs are synonymous with UOs.

What are your thoughts on wine? Gilmore Gilrs? Scandal?

Yes please, no thanks, it's waiting on my DVR for me to catch up (in that order)

How do you feel about backing into parking spaces?

Nothing annoys me more than some who backs in and out of a spot eleventy million times trying to perfect their backing in. JUST PULL FORWARD INTO IT AND LET ME GET BY!!

What's your position on man buns?

NMS, personally. But maybe on the right guy? DH has short hair, so this is a tough call.

Who's your celebrity lookalike?

Mara Wilson! Without a doubt. I used to tell my friends I played Matilda in the movie. That was...not true.

Are you also going to intro on the May BMB?

Not sure yet. I guess I want to make sure I can keep up one place before joining in another group. Things move fast with a mobile, high-needs baby!

What took you so long to make an account?

I actually made my account the day girpipely lost her boys so I could message her, being a fellow baby loss mama. I never posted because it felt too scary too commit to a community I may possibly have to leave if we lost our daughter too (just how the mind works after losing one child I guess). Once she was born, it felt like new posters were coming out of the woodwork just to AW, so I felt weird about it.

If an elementary school has a sign saying no soy, peanut butter or almonds on campus how do you feel about this sign?

Hobbies?

Reading, traveling, crafting in general, spending hours on Pinterest and never actually making anything I pin...

Favorite food would have to be a great piece of pizza (can you tell I've been dairy soy free for NINE MONTHS NOW?!). For drinks, give me a giant strawberry daiquiri.

For you and Poppy, the screen name comes from the song by Ella Fitzgerald. It's one that would cheer me up around the time we lost our son.

I'm sorry about the dairy soy free thing. I would lose my shit if a doctor said I could not eat cheese. I take it that is due to breastfeeding?

I'm married to a generally great guy. He's two years older than me. He's a radiologist and DD has him wrapped around her finger.

I just listened to the song. I can see why you love it.

I remember this topic being hashed out! Personally, I get it. It's totally I inconvenient for 99% of the students, but may save 1 students life. My kid can go without a PB&J to assure the safety of another.

It's no fun! Yes, DD has milk soy protein intolerance, so I'm counting down the days until we wean. Nursing has went great for us though, so it's hard to give up a good thing.
