I've seen a lot of new comers & lurkers speaking out for the first time and I get excited for them. HB is such a great community & I am so glad I ran into it.
Surprise: I want to give the Silent bees the weekend to say hello. When the weekend is over come Sunday evening, I will give the gift of gold not only to myself but to one of the no longer silent bee members.
Do we have a new Bees that would like to say hello?

@MrsScottish: Welcome! I was responding to your post earlier on ttc board when my dogs started freaking out. I get distracted easily. So glad you have decided to join in all the fun!

That's such a sweet idea. I lurked for about 3mths before eventually joining a few days ago. It is a great, friendly community

Hello all,
I've been reading for a while now. Just recently gave birth to my daughter and I have learned so much already. Good time as any to speak up

@JellyBean: Yay! I'm so glad you spoke up & congratulation on your little girl. If you don't mind me asking how old is your lo?

Hi everyone. I joined when HelloBee was still in beta because curiosity got the best of me, but I've only stalked since then. I got married last September, and the Mr. and I will probably wait another year and a half before we start ttc. But I have a lot of friends with babies/kids and 8 nieces and nephews and like to be "in the know". I also like feeling prepared when the time might come for us
I don’t have a lot to say because I feel like I’m on the outside looking in – but I get a ton a great information from everyone here! I've learned so much already.

I'm not really new, but I'm usually a bit of a lurker! I've been trying to post more the last few days
I think I joined when HB was still in beta. We've been married for almost two years and just started NTNP. I'm hopeful that this approach will result in a BFP for us within 6 months or so. I'd like to keep it fun and as low stress as possible!

Hi everyone! I’ve been here reading/lurking for quite awhile and have learned more than I ever knew one could. I recently registered with hopes of working up the courage to post something, so I took this as a sign to finally speak (thanks @sugar.biscuit!). My sweet husband and I just started TTC and I’m looking very forward to having more to contribute. I can’t wait to get to know you all better!

@crabbabs: I see your already joining in & have already made your second post! Glad you have joined us on the dark side as you have found there is a lot more to this community then ttc & parenting. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards.

You're too sweet to be so welcoming, Sugar.Biscuit. I stumbled upon this site by accident, lurked a while and finally joined. I've never been tempted to join an online community til this one...everyone is so kind, honest, welcoming and supportive!

@BlueberryPie: I still feel like a new Bee at times (I catch on slowly) & this was another way for me to meet new people. Thank you for introducing yourself & I hope you join us in the March POAS thread. Its bound to be a good month!

Hello. I also joined when Hellobee was in beta and have mostly lurked (sounds so creepy). I have an almost 4 year old, an almost 2 year old, and am currently pregnant with my 3rd. I've wanted to be more active in the community, so hopefully I can follow through this time

@sugar.biscuit - you are so kind! It's such a nice way to welcome new members - this close knit community can be intimidating because of how well everyone knows each other.
I joined a long time ago but have been getting so much help reading this past month (teething, sleep regression) that I'm trying to post more. I on maternity leave in Canada with my first - Joel who's 9 months.

I love how some of the new Bees are already posting up a storm! Welcome to everyone! I have to go help my mom unpack for a little bit and I can't wait to get back and see what has happened while I am away.

i've recently started posting/commenting. i really enjoy how fast you can get an answer to a simple question. and how no one treats any and every question like a dumb question! love hellobee!

Awwww I love having this opportunity to say hello. I've been lurking for awhile now and started to post in the last couple weeks. Reading posts have helped me to get through a mc and through the first trimester of my current pregnancy. I am now 16 weeks along and feel more secure with this pregnancy so I think I'll start posting on the August board! Such a great community here eh? Oh, and I'm from Canada.

That's such a sweet gesture!
Yes...I've been a "silent bee" for a long time. Now that my twins are a little older and (I guess) sleeping a little more, I have some more time to contribute to this amazing community.
I'm looking forward to meeting some of the other newbees!

@Sugar.Biscuit: you are indeed the HB fairy! I just started speaking up because I feel the need to be more active in the mama community. Actually joining an in-person moms group kind of freaks me out, so I'm getting my toes wet with HB, even though I have been stalking it since before my twins were born.

what a sweet gesture. I love how supportive this community is. I've lurked for sometime now and have slowly started posting. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant and have found HB to be such a wonderful resource for pregnancy/baby questions. Thank you all!!

P.S. I should probably introduce myself...sorry! I have 13-week-old twins, Norah and Cole, who were born after a years-long struggle with infertilty. We live in Seattle, and I'm lucky to be a mostly SAHM. I only work during the evenings, when I tutor struggling junior high and high school students. DH takes care of the kids while I'm away.
I love being a mommy, and I am so grateful to this wonderful community for being such a resource to me as I embark on this journey!
