Hello! I am moving over here from a different website. The Mothering forums are more my style and I am excited to be here and meet you ladies! I am pretty late in the game with only 12.5 weeks left, but happy to be here nonetheless!
My name is Jessica, I am 25 and expecting my first child on July 3rd. I live in Austin, TX with my DH and 4 cats!

Welcome! Hope you like it here at MDC! I know I do!

Welcome!

I've made the same move in the past ~ good call

Mothering is awesome!

 

[vonn's_mama]

Welcome fellow Texan. Enjoy!

Hi Jessica! I am 25 also, and also pregnant with my first baby. We have two cats and live in San Antonio. Glad to see you here!

Welcome! I tried another board as well and quickly learned that Mothering was more my style.

 

[LindsC]

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here.

There are so many Texans, it's great! And someone in Austin, even better. We are going to the Austin Area Birthing Center. How about you?

I moved here from a more mainstream board during my last pregnancy, and I am sooo glad I did. I hope you love it here and find more like minded mamas.

I know, kinda crazy that there are so many Texans due in JULY. You'd think we'd plan a little better....
I am using Birthwise. My midwife apprenticed at AABC. I toured there, it's nice.
Happy Pregnancy!

HI! *waves* I still go to the mainstream board but hardly post because I am not interested in the judgmentalism around there. Anyhow, great to see you here!

Just out of curiosity, what is the mainstream board?

 

[gossamerwindweb]

the one I used to post on and still go to is on babycenter.... a lot of judgmental people over there is all I can say

 

[fawnanddoe]

I have been posting on the bump.

And by posting I mean getting really frustrated defending my choices! The ignorance of some people is truly astounding.

 

[learnlovebe]

Just out of curiousity...I forgot they even had pregnancy boards..I hopped on over.

Now I remember why I never go there. I love MDC.

I may not be the crunchiest person here (not even close), but I feel like I have more in common w/ the women here than other boards. We discuss REAL pregnancy and parenting issues, and we're kind and genuine. We are also smarter than your average bear.

Welcome again!
