Could we do a bit of an intro post? Like a poll?

-If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born? Not pregnant, or at least I better not be!

I'm D

Expecting our first on 10/16 - a boy!

I'll return to work after 9-12 weeks, maybe switching to a 4 day schedule. DH is contemplating switching to afternoon shift (2:30pm-11pm).

I lurked on MM, but my work browser made posting way too difficult. I <3 proboards!

Super late to the game!

I have 1 daughter, Alissa Jean, who will be 8 years old in September. We are one and done.

I work outside the home full time, and I also go to school part time.

What brings you here?
--I was an occasional MM lurker and want to try to be more active on the new board. I enjoy taking a break from work by reading the message boards. I've learned some really interesting things.

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home?
--I have a 2 yo DD and a baby on the way. That is probably it for us. I work 4 10-hour days.

-If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born?
--I'm 23 weeks now, due September 10. I will still working, but I might ask to go to 3 days.

What brings you here? I started out on the Knot, moved to the Bump and the Nest after. I was a big lurker on MM.

If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home? I have a three and a half year old. We would love to have another child, but we cannot agree on when. I work as a nanny.



-Feel free to explain other reasons (general curiosity, boredom, etc.) I'm always looking for ways to slash our budget and I also like reading about other people's experiences.

No children, but I have finally been told I can TTC by my doctors.

We are halfway through cycle 3. I am ovulating today, haha.

Was on the MM on TN for a long time.

- My son is 8 months, almost 9 months old. He is our one & only. We will not be having any more children (for health reasons). It took us 18 months TTC our son with PCOS. He is our miracle baby. He was born healthy, but I had a lot of complications - I lost a lot of blood, needed transfusions, developed infections & then my intestines shutdown. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience.

- & I work FT outside of the home. I am the breadwinner. My MIL watches DS while we are at work.

I was a lurker on MM, and have finally come out. I am currently expecting and like the insight of all the MM Moms

I was typically a lurker on the Nest, and thought I would make the switch.

Currently 30 weeks pregnant with our first. Planning on having another a few years down the road.

I'm in Canada, so preparing MM wise for a 1 year maternity leave on a reduced income.

What brings you here? The ability to actually read all the posts without posts or whole threads disappearing.

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home? My sons name is Edmund and he is just over a year old. We plan on having at least one more but we want to buy a house before we do. Both my husband and I work at the same place outside of the home.

-Feel free to explain other reasons (general curiosity, boredom, etc.) Mainly just people to talk to. It has been a rough year. With the birth of my son who had some birth defects and has already been through 2 surgeries to correct them. It's nice to have people to talk to about anything and everything.
