Hello, after causing all the trouble with the cloth diaper users, I wasn’t sure if I should introduce myself or if it was safer to be left anonymous :)
I’ve been a lurker for months now and feel it’s rude of me not to introduce myself since I feel I know you all and your babies so well.
My name is Mare. I’m 30 years old DH is 32. We live in NYC. I’m currently an unemployed executive assistant. I’ve decided to take some time off from work to de-stress and hopefully conceive our first child – which we are eagarly awaiting.
Rather than stress over the monthly conceiving challenges and the associated medical mumbo jumbo, I’ve decided to focus my attention to baby related items. Or as I call it “happy thoughts”.
After witnessing a pregnant girlfriend zap any random “pretty” stroller to put on her registry and asking another girlfriend which stroller she was considering and hearing her respond “I want anything that comes with a carseat”. I thought it was best to begin investigating baby products now since I research everything and anything to no end.
In some sense I feel “wrong” to be here and post since I’m currently “not with peanut”, but on the other hand I‘m so excited that I discovered all this now rather than later.
I’ve learned so much valuable information from you ladies and I can’t wait to “officially” join you.
I also have to add that I’m a big fan of egoldber, rachels, jojo, mama2be, annalisa and nohomama. Just to name a few. They seem like the pros around here :)
Thanks to Anna Lisa’s directions, I have now started shopping in Paramus, NJ. DH is not pleased that I have discovered this shopping mecca! I’ve hit all your hot spots and hope to bump into you at Value City one of these days!
Also, I can totally relate to Annette. I’m American Italian and my husband was born in Italy and all my in-laws are Italian. I enjoyed your bio and holiday stories. Mine are quite the same!
Hope you all forgive me for the ruckus! Promise I won’t do anything without asking!
