I don't know why I've been shy, but...

[boolady]

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a longtime lurker, who is finally expecting a little one of her (our) own. I guess I've held back because I'm a little superstitious about actually SAYING we have a baby on the way, but since we're finally at the point where I'm comfortable telling people IRL, I am now comfortable doing so here. I am always amazed by the variety of insightful and supportive comments all of the ladies and gents on this board have for each other, and hope you don't mind welcoming another person into the fold!

Welcome Jen! It took me a while before I felt comfortable posting in the lounge, so I understand your shyness. I look forward to hearing/reading more from you. :-)

Hi Jen and welcome. I have an Oct baby too -she's growing up so fast!!
Beleive me, in no time you'll be a pro and giving other moms advice!
I think there's also a group called BBB preggo pals (or something like that) which you might enjoy being a part of (if you're not already).
See you around,

Hey Jen, welcome and congrats!
I lurked for a long time, too and agree with you on the support we find here at the BBB.

[maestramommy]

Welcome welcome! The support and insight I've received since coming has been a lifesaver. From breastfeeding to sleep issues, you will find tons of empathy and practical suggestions. And congratulations on your soon-to-be new arrival!

Congratulations and welcome!!

Hi Jen! I'm pretty new too-- I did the same thing you did. I "lurked" for a few months before my DD was born and didn't actually say anything until afterwards (I guess I'm superstitious). I wish I had gotten on earlier- I love it here!

Can't wait to hear more from you! And Congrats on your pregnancy!

[tarahsolazy]

Welcome Jen!

[mommyoftwo]

Welcome! This is a wonderful place filled with helpful supportive people. Congrats on the baby!

[tarabenet]

Welcome out of lurkdom and into the posting world. Congratulations on you pregnancy. I hope it is a healthy one.

Congratulations and Welcome, Jen!

[boolady]

Wow! Thanks to everyone for your warm welcomes, which by the way, you may regret, because other than finally introducing myself here, I'm not very shy at all!:)
