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!!

These boards are so great, aren't they? It's so nice to have the support and real life advice of other parents. Welcome back!

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!!!

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.

Welcome Cheryl! Or I should say, welcome back!:) Good luck TTC! I love the name Lilli (and the spelling)--is it short for anything?

Sorry so long with the reply - I don't seem to check in here as often as I thought I would! Lilli is short for Lilliana. We liked the name Lilly but weren't too keen on Lillian (I like having a formal name with a nice shortened name), so we were very excited to find Lilliana in a baby name book (Italian version of Lillian). Good luck to you with your little one(s)!!
