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

[mkemama]

I've been a MM lurker/rare poster for years (as amanicen)

I have one DD who's 15 months old. Next fall we're hoping to TTC #2 but I'm getting anxious to be PG again. I work PT at a hotel front desk and SAH the rest of the time.

[ZJCF]

I have lurked on MM for awhile and have always liked reading the advice of MM moms.

I have one daughter, Charlotte. She is almost 18 months. We plan on having more children, not sure on how many more but we both want a big family. I work 34 hrs a week as an RN and my husband just finished nursing school and is waiting to take his RN boards.

Since some people don't have tickers anymore or never did.

What brings you here? I can't quit the nest (well, nesties!) as much as I've tried.

-If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born? 33 weeks, I think? Maybe 34? I'll be SAH. H owns a business and I work p/t for him, so I guess I have the option of going back if I'm not cut out for it.

I used to post more often, but hate nesting from my iPad. This format is. Million times better!

What brings you here?

-Just coming over from MM as one of the more mature (old) Moms on the board

If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home?

-I have 3 girls...ages almost 3, 5.5 & 7.5yrs. I would like at least 1 more & have been ttc#4 since Sept. I work OTH part-time now but was a full-time SAHM from 2mo prior to birth of DD1 until DD3 was 2...so almost 7yrs.

If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born?

-Not pg but ttc...not sure if I'll go back to SAH when/if I have #4 but it's pretty likely I will SAHM again for another 2yrs.

-If you are TTC, how long has your journey been so far?

-I have been ttc#4 since I turned 36 at the beginning of Sept. I ttc#1 6mo (miscarried 3mo into that), ttc#2 for a year & was not ttc when I got pg w/ #3....SO glad she's here though of course.

Feel free to explain other reasons (general curiosity, boredom, etc.)

I'm a long time MM lurker. I was lurking the MM board today, saw a response referring to this board, then came over to check it out. I love that there is this sub-board. I always felt I could relate to the moms on MM more than the other baby boards on TB.

I have 2 DD's, ages 4 years and 18 months. I would love to have one more, but not sure if we could make it work financially. Ideally I'd like to start TTC for #3 in a year or so if we could. I currently work at home full-time and both girls are in preschool.

[frlcb]

What brings you here? I lurked on the nest, so figured I would jump in here

-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 4 year old son and a 13 month old daughter. We will likely not have more, especially as we are about to start our son in private school and we have to travel overseas ever year to see the IL's so financially not the right decision right now. I stay at home but do some freelance journalism.

I was a lurker/occasional poster in TN (once or twice a week on MM) and always enjoyed the conversations

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home?

I have one and three year old boys, and two cats. No more children or cats will be joining our home if I have anything to do with it. I work outside the home. I'm an attorney for the federal government

-If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born? n/a

-If you are TTC, how long has your journey been so far? n/a

-Feel free to explain other reasons (general curiosity, boredom, etc.)

I love money talk, though I leave most of our money management to DH. We recently formed an LLC and are looking to begin investing in real estate, so I'm always hunting for financial info related to those sorts of things.

What brings you here? I occasionally posted on MM, mostly on the @ posts- I felt most comfortable giving advice there.

-If you have children, what are their ages? 4yo and 2yo
Do you plan on having any more? Maybe, but not for another 2 years at least
Do you currently work outside the home? Yes, full time

It's nice to hear from a lot of other moms working full-time. The area that I live in has a lot of SAHMs and it is hard to relate.

DS is 22 months. We're hoping to TTC #2 in November. Yes DH and I work full time

[Deleted]

I followed mms over from the old board, I posted sometimes, & lurked alot.

DS is 6 months old. We would like to have one more, but want to wait until he is 2.5 before ttc. I work 40 hours a week.

What brings you here? I usually hand around TIP, I would lurk on MM with the occasional comment. MM Moms is more up my alley, I think.

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home? 1 year old son. Yes, we plan on having at least one more, maybe two. I work full time at an office.

[chessie]

Pretty much want to in the game- start to prepare and learn from the other ladies on this board. Not the one to just jump in without a full plan. Hope to have a kid in 3-4 years. Had a terrible accident years ago, pretty much leaving my body all messed up, trying to also figure out the options on that end as well.

[nabum]

What brings you here? I was mostly a lurker on MM

-If you have children, what are their ages? A son, 8 months
Do you plan on having any more? Yes, we want to TTC again in the fall
Do you currently work outside the home? Yes. I'm currently on a flex schedule (7:30-3:30 M-Th, Friday from home)

[lmdbww]

I had a ticker w/DD's age on the nest but haven't gotten around to adding it on here yet.

I have 1 DD, she'll be 4 in July. We are one and done. I work FT outside of the home.

[chia]

One 3y.o. DD. Would love to have at least one more.

I work full time.

I've been TTC #2 for almost 2 years now. Hopefully, that will happen soon!

I'm a former MM lurker and very occasional poster. I'm recently back from maternity leave and trolling GBCN while pumping.

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home?
One child, almost 6 mo. He is seriously one of the best babies I've ever seen. Just very chill. We wanted two all along, but I feel like I've hit the lottery with DS and now am not sure I want to add another child to the mix.

I work FT as a government attorney.

-If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born?
n/a

n/a

-Feel free to explain other reasons (general curiosity, boredom, etc.)
I try to be very smart with our money, and greatly enjoy reading MM. Now that I'm a mom I also like the MM posts. I CD, and it's nice to see so many others doing it or planning to do it.

[octwed07]

-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 2.5 DD and a DS coming in late June; yes, i work full time outside of the house -- and DH would like another one, i'm not sure i want 3!

-If you are pregnant, how far along are you? Do you plan on working outside the home after the child is born?
I'm about 34 weeks. Yes, after DS is born, i'm planning on going back to work after taking an 8 wk maternity leave, working from home for month 3, and then back to the office on month 4.

-If you are TTC, how long has your journey been so far?
NA

Like the advice and ladies on the MM board!

[ejpint]

Late to the party here, but TTC.
We've been really trying since August (OPK tests and charting), but have not been careful for two years.
We went to see an RE, and I've been diagnosed with PCOS. This is our first cycle trying with metformin and femara. I'm on CD10...we'll see what happens!

[welshgirl]

I have two children, my son is nearly 4 and my daughter just shy of 18 months. We're done with two.

I'm a stay at home mum, though trained as a historian, and living in England with my English husband and my family of half-breeds.

[csquared]

I'm csquared. Mostly a lurker, but trying to be a more active participant. Trying to get finances in order to get DH comfortable with TTC#2.

I have one DD, 3 years 8 months old. I'm dying to have another, but not actively TTC yet. I work full time out of the home and will continue to do so after #2 if that day comes. Expenses are too high and we'd be in an uncomfortable situation without my salary.

[mrs07]

I'm a regular lurker from TN, Infrequent poster.

1yo DS

Doing the natural parent thing - it's working well.

[curbsideprophet]

I have one DD, she is 8 months old.
We plan to discuss potential future children when she is about a year old.
I work full time outside of the home.

[nickyd2006]

I have a DD that is 19 months old. I work three days a week, and we're expecting our second DD in July. I like working, but I'm getting super tired. We're trying to get our act together financially for July, at least we have curbed our spending quite a bit. We are in uber saving mode right now, just in case I have to go on bedrest or we have bigger medical bills than we predict.

[Maeby]

What brings you here?
I'm formerly jenileero from TN which may not need much since I'm an infrequent poster. I think I'll stay here since I really like a MM Moms sub-board and want to stay far, far away from TB.

-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 13-month old DD and she will be our only child (by choice). I work FT outside the home as a special education diagnostician but I have a teacher schedule and get several weeks a year to stay home with DD.

-Feel free to explain other reasons (general curiosity, boredom, etc.) I really like the Proboards app.

[DorkFish]

What brings you here? The new proboards have convinced me to re-join the nest community. I love their formatting and I'm having fun venturing to other boards.

-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 7.5 month old. I work outside of the home 4 days a week. We plan on having 1 more.

[ryry]

I'm kind of new to MM, so I'll introduce myself!

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home? I have one little girl. She's 15 months today. We would love to have more--probably 2 more. I work outside the home, although we are relocating next month for my husband's job and I don't currently have a job lined up there, so I'll be a SAHM for a little while at least (and it kind of scares the bajeezus out of me!)

I'm on MM and have kids.

-If you have children, what are their ages? Do you plan on having any more? Do you currently work outside the home?

Two boys ages 4.5 and 2.
I stay at home but am on disability so I have a nanny.

[trissie18]

I have two sons, ages 2 1/2 and almost 4. We do not plan to have any more for financial reasons (more would mean bigger vehicles, house, etc.). I currently work full-time for a non-profit association and part-time as a court clerk for two local justice courts. Plus I am taking online classes towards a second bachelor's degree.
