Hi everyone. I have been reading here for about 6 months. I finally have some time to post back. My friend Karen (stillplayswithbarbies) told me about this message board before our kids were born after I sent her the baby bargains book.

I live in a western suburb of Chicago, Bloomingdale. My son Stephen was born on March 26, 2003 and came home to us 48 hours later. He is our child through the miracle of adoption. I'm sorry I missed the recent chicago outing but that propelled me to register and post here today. I would love to meet other local moms of infants as there are no other babies in my neighborhood.

Stephen is doing just great. He was 16 weeks yesterday. He has a really happy disposition. I feel unbelievably lucky to have him in my life. He's a little guy. (was 6 lbs 1 oz at birth and is probably up to about 13 pounds now) He doesn't nap well during the day but sleeps through most nights. The crabbies come to visit around 5pm but they don't stay long.

now.. about posting an avatar.... are there instructions somewhere? I have a few pics of him on snapfish.

I'm not sure why it didn't work. The picture appeared in my profile. Can anyone help? please?

Thanks,
Bonnie

Hi Bonnie! Glad to see you come out of lurking. :)

about the avatar . . . I don't know if snapfish works here. Mine is hosted at AOL. Or you can attach your pic to a post here, get the URL of the attachment, and use that as your avatar. I'll write that up in more detail and start a new thread since the old one is so long it has gone invisible.

Welcome Bonnie & Stephen! I am also in the Chicago area. I'll send you an e-mail; probably tomorrow, but certainly this weekend.

Glad you're joining us 'officially'!
