Hi all! I have been lurking on the boards for a while (came over from Weddingbee a while back, although I changed my username) and now that I am due with my first in under 3 weeks, figured I should finally start posting.

I have found the board threads to be so valuable while we were TTC and during my pregnancy, from everything to symptoms to gear questions to all kinds of child-rearing questions that I will soon be facing! And I love the atmosphere here which seems much friendlier and knowledgeable than some other sites I have checked out...

I work full-time out of the home and will be returning to work after my maternity leave. My husband and I live in Chicago and are excited to be able to spend a (hopefully) gorgeous summer with our new LO!

Looking forward to contributing/chatting with everyone
