Intro by a longtime lurker...

[tmongkol]

Hi everyone,

I'm due with my first 7/1/2004. :)

I've been reading these boards for a couple years, but just registered recently to be able to post. (started with the Bridal Bargains about 1.5 years before I got married and the Baby Bargains this year)

I've been reading the boards mostly for buying suggestions... We don't have much of anything for the baby yet! The crib is ordered, and we have a Baby Bjorn Active (since yesterday only)... and ordered some layette stuff. (very little)

So I've been studying the boards in more detail, trying to figure out what on earth we need to get (quantities, brands, stores, online vs web, etc...)

Hope to get to know some of you a bit better :)

Tina (& Tony, expecting our first baby; it's a boy!)

Congratulations on your impending arrival, and welcome (to posting anyway)! I also started on Bridal Bargains and moved on to Baby Bargains when I was expecting. Have fun with your purchases, you definitely have come to the right place!

Welcome and congratulations, Tina!

I also am due in July, however later in the month! (They're telling me around the 21st)

These boards have been wonderful for information! I don't know about you, but I research everything and this has helped me plenty. Just the opinions from other moms is great!

Enjoy!

Tina - Glad you decided to delurk! Glad you are finding the boards helpful when navigating this terrifying realm of expectant parents. There's a lot of stuff to sift through to figure out what you really need, and these boards are so great for helping you do that!

Hi Tina and welcome from one de-lurker to another! I can't believe how much great info and support I've received on these boards. I hope you have the same positive experience. My husband and I are Teva (pronounced with a soft e) and Tony and my son is Anthony Joseph Ingrassia lll (hence...AJ). Do you have a name picked out yet??? Well, look forward to seeing you around the boards!

Welcome Tina. I'm sure you've gotten some great ideas from these boards. There is a wealth of info from all the wonderful members.
