I know we're all NAK and busy caring for newborns but I'm missing my pg tribe. When I was pg with Ryland I frequented thelaboroflove.com and made some great friends - after our babies the board shut down so we all moved to our own board and posted our pics, questions, stories, etc. (Of course a bunch of crap happened and the group split - you know mainstream vs crunchy stuff. )

I was hoping that's how it would be here, but we're all so quiet...we had a blast, doing weekly themed photo threads and other stuff like that.

Anyone interested in livening this place up?

bring it on..i'm here.

I am sorry! I really just can't be here as much. With the kids getting older they need me more in a different way and it is hard to tell them "no computer" if I am on it...:lol:

I would love to see some more posts here though and will try to post here more often - I promise!!!

In fact, I just posted here the other day. Along with my committment to get off of the computer, I also told myself to start posting threads where they belong! Thus all Olivia posts will be here! Okay, well MOST of them!! :lol:

oh man.. my old laboroflove groups just fell apart.. it was horrible.

Hi! I just posted in the "Intro" section, after lurking here for, seriously, over 3 years!

This used to be the first place I came, but now I usually go straight to the Market board because it does have the most action. I have a 14 month old ds (and 3 older kids) and would love to join in here more!

Welcome Molly! Awesome sig pic!

Thanks! We had a photographer at Koen's birth--best money we ever spent!

Thanks for the welcome--it feels good to come out of lurkdom--LOL!

I'm here, but between chasing Connor (which is what I do MOST of the day), and homeschooling, I don't have time to get online much anymore. When I do get here, I tend to read more than post.

I should post more, but then I tell myself I should get off the computer and do something productive. I can't imagine what I did at nigh before I found boards three years ago, LOL.

Maybe with the influx of new moms this forum will start booming:) I have been posting in the Marketplace forum to get responses, but I will try to remember to post here now that there are more moms posting here, too.

nak - I keep checking here :)

quiet group! :) :smooch: Lots of potential - some of my favorite mamas are over here :hbeat:

I like the idea of themed pics. I could use the inspiration.

Oh Sandra, Thanks for talking about me :hahaha: and you are one of my faves too!!!

I would love for this board to be more active too. I keep checking. I guess we are all just sooo busy either babymoonin or following a toddler.

Molly, that sig pic is just precious!!!

Well at least we know we're interested - so if we all make an effort then we could have a great group/forum here!

I'll come up with a list of pic ideas so we can start having some fun showing off our wee ones!!

Oh Sandra, Thanks for talking about me :hahaha: and you are one of my faves too!!!

I WAS talking about you!! You *know* I'm thrilled to be back "with you" regularly now. :D :heart:

And there are just so many awesome mamas from my whole pregnancy - and Julie and Meg and Linda and Maura and Jodi and Tara and Ashley and...WAY too many to list! :heart:

For real - y'all are some of my favorite people in the whole wide world. :smooch: I missed you SO much - which is silly because you were right here all along. :smirk: But - it's not the same. :big hug:

:big hug: IKWYM!! The pregnancy board was such a wonderful place to be!! I would LOVE for this one to have the same feel. And I truly felt sort of out-in-space after having Andrew. Just kept lingering in the pregnancy board but it was not the same, although I was keeping up with you guys!! So I guess I will have to think of things to post about so we keep this one rolling. If we all post at least one new thread a day, that would be pretty rockin!! :cuc:

I agree, completely. I felt like I was in limbo just for a couple weeks here. I can't imagine months upon months. :D

I still find myself lurking over there - but it's not the same :) HERE is home now. :heart:

pathetically, that's a big part of why I never left the expecting board - LOL.

Count me in! I feel sorta lost too! I don't know any mamas IRL with babies right now, though Christy will soon be juggling two of them. :) So I'm just sorta lurking a lot, posting occassionally.

I'd love to see more on this board! Swaps, themes, highs and lows of the week, updates etc! I need my mamatribe!

These are all great ideas. If each of us comes up with an idea and "hosts" it then we'll have a rockin' forum here!!

so.. how do we organize a swap for here? who wants to take that on?

Why not you mamaroo? :lol:

Actually I brought it up so I can do it if you don't want to. What kind of swap is the question? Just for fun, one for items our kiddos have outgrown, ISO list, a mama swap?

LOL.. ummm.. usually I'm up for it, but right now I'm feeling like I'm drowning.. so.. I think I'll pass.

My kiddo hasn't outgrown much of anything :) I am getting rid of the 3-6 stuff before fall though - I'm sick of it. :)

Really, I'm up for whatever - I just don't want to have to be the responsible adult for awhile!

See I just stopped in tonight after frequenting the market board. this board was dead for so long and now I come back and there are tons of threads that I've missed.

So count me in. I need a daily pick up!
