Is this a new screen name for you? Forgive me, I don't recognize your name from D&R on TN.
No, that is my name. I was a lurker on the nest. I have spent most of my time on the bump camped out on the IF board. Since we are no longer pursuing any further IF treatments I've been trying out new boards.
We are getting ready to re-do our master bedroom and the spare bedroom room we had designated as the nursery so I thought I would start spending more time here if you gals will let me.
I only volunteered to be the mod because I noticed this board didn't have one but my feelers won't he hurt if you would rather it be someone else.
