Hello there...

I used to post here, then I was away for a while and just recently started checking back here. I thought I'd ID myself, since it seems to be the fashionable thing to do :)! My name is Cheryl, I'm 32 and live in SE Michigan as well. I graduated from Michigan State with a BA in Political Economy, worked for a number of years in various capacities from a Project Manager to a Database Analyst and then became a SAHM when my Lilli was born. That first year was a HUGE adjustment, but now I can't imagine life any other way! We're even thinking of adding to the brood again (hence my return to the boards - I'll be posting a few Q's when I get a chance). I want to thank all the wonderful people who post here. I have received such great info on so many wonderful products on these boards. Checking here before shopping for stuff has definitely made my life better! Good luck to everyone and I hope I can help others as well as I've been helped!!

Hi Cheryl,

Welcome! Where is SE Michigan are you? DH and I started our educations at MSU. :)

The more Spartans the merrier!! I'm in north Oakland County (really north - only a mile south of Genesee County line) in Ortonville. You live in SE MI too right? Whereabouts do you live?

My old boss lives in Ortonville. LOL! What a beautiful place to live. I am jealous! I currently reside in Royal Oak. But, we are moving to Rochester Hills in November. I can't wait! :)

I have a lot of friends in the Royal Oak/Ferndale areas, of course now it seems everyone's moving. My in-laws live in Rochester and I grew up in Shelby Twp (just on the other side of Rochester) so I am very familiar with that area. You'll love it! Actually - I had both my kids at Crittenton too (no hospitals out here). Hope you have a good move!!!

Thanks! I have family out there (Shelby Twnshp) too!
Who was your OB?

Joseph Morgan is my OB/GYN (I drive 45 min to go there!) - he's at Tienken and Rochester Rd. He's a nice guy, though a bit goofy.
