Hi ladies! My name is Heidi and I have been lurking here for a bit, and decided to try and figure out who is who and what you are all talking about It seems like a great board and a very close group--hopefully with room for more!

I have a dd, Andi Madelyn, who will be eight months next week, and just got my first ppaf this month,(I am still breastfeeding morning and night, formula during the day) so we are now officially TTC our second baby. I am 33 (for two more days ) and DH is 31. We are both teachers, and I am going back to work on the 29th of this month, after having been on educational leave and then maternity leave since last January....I would love to have another year off next year (come on baby dust!!! )..........

I am an active member of BIM 2006, and have been looking for somewhere to share the TTC journey as well. I have been lurking in DIO (wishful thinking) but would like somewhere to hang out on a more regular basis. I would love it if you all could tell me who you are and a quick intro so I can get you all straightened out--from your chatty threads you all obviously know each other really well, but for a newbie it is pretty much over my head....

Hi Heidi - I'm new over here too - I've seen you over in DIO (we can hope!). Everyone here does know each other so well it has been hard to jump in - but I'm slowly catching on to everyone's story and loving hearing about BFP's and exciting ultrasounds! DH and I are in our 2nd month ttc #2, I'm in my 2ww - trying to hold off testing until Thursday!

Welcome Heidi! Jump right in ! As Kelli mentioned, the Chatty thread is the place to get to know each other the easiest.

We've got a good batch of newbies, we should start a "Get to Know You" thread!

Thanks for joining!
