How does Hellobee work itself into your everyday life?
Sometimes I almost refer to my baby as LO IRL haha!
I also refer to some of the people here as "my friends" because it's too awkward explaining how I'm daily a part of an online forum community lol.

I do call my LO "little one" - he/she is still about the size of a blueberry/raspberry, though. I refer to this as "the baby/mom site."

Hellobee is a secret, in real life. I don't want people knowing that we are TTC.

I don't talk about it either since we are still TTC. My husband knows it as a baby/parenting site.

I also refer to the people on here as my friends.
My DH knows I am on here a lot and every day when he comes home from work he asks "so, what's going on with the bees today?"

I refer to people as my friends or "someone I know". I do have some friends that I have made through here/WB, and I talk about them becuase we keep in touch through other means

None of our friends and family know we're TTC so HelloBee hasn't made it's way into real life yet. During wedding planning, the hubby asked what's going on with WB.

Haha. DH knows and calls everyone the "bees". I don't think HB has come up in conversations with anyone else.

I don't really talk to anyone about HB IRL because we are TTC. I have one friend who was on WB & she knows that I'm on here. The hubs doesn't know that I'm on HB as much as I am because he says that I need to avoid thinking about TTC too much because he's worried about me being stressed out.

Ha... hubs gave up understanding the sites I'm on. But I mean after blogging for Weddingbee for 2 years... what do you expect? I think even if he doesn't get it, lets me do my thing.

I refer to it as my mommy to be site. When I talk about a topic on here to other people IRL, I just say it's a site that has other mom's and other mom's to be! I am pretty vaige as most people around here wouldn't understand an online community!

Since we're ttc, I still kind of refer to it vaguely. When talking to other mommies, I'll say "Oh, I've read/heard..." But hubs knows about you guys!
