Hello! Sorry I've been gone so long, I'm hoping a few of you will remember me! I stopped posting/visiting during my pregnancy due to bed rest! WELL, I'm back! I delivered a baby girl on August 21! She was 7lbs 10oz and 20in long! Big blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair and the happiest baby in the world! I am thankful for being blessed with all my children! Hey snap, I need a new avatar! My baby girl is a Leo! I hope everyone has been doing well! Also, I've posted an issue in "other security issues" board. In case anyone would like to take a peek! Take Care, Lori

Hey lic1174 (we're friends now, can I just call you Lori?), I'm new here!! (pay no attention to the number of posts, its a long story) Congrats!!! On your new bundle!! My advice, Mommy to Mommy, take lots and lots of pictures and videos. Time goes by so fast!!! (My kiddos love watching videos of themselves when they were younger.) Here is some more advice ritaann posted on the joke thread.

Who John Jacob Jingle Heimershmitt is. How to change a diaper in the dark, in a parked car, on a standing child and all of the above simultaneously. Which lines of The Cat in the Hat and If I Ran the Circus can be skipped over without a child noticing. How bright a 3 a.m. full moon is. The design marvels of hooded towels, Velcro-strap shoes and mitten clips. Locations of public restrooms all across town. Why anyone would bother retracing their steps for miles just to retrieve a lost blankie. That tigers live in the trees in our backyard. The amazing technicolor variety of infant stool. How to open a van door while bobbling 2 lunch boxes, two extra coats, a purse, a diaper bag and a baby. The fine art of vacuuming a floor without hosing up a Barbie shoe or a Playmobil cannonball. That solid white socks get lost in the dryer at a much slower rate than do the mates of patterned socks that coordinate to special outfits. How little sleep a human body truly needs to function. Almost every Disney lyric ever penned. How to spell amoxicillin, let alone say it. That one can never own too many sippy cup lids or refrigerator magnets. Scientific names of dinosaurs from A to Z. That reverse psychology really works. The recipe for a homemade version of Play-doh. That Duplo and Lego blocks procreate in the night. The distinctive sounds of Cheerios crunching underfoot. Why they call them Happy meals. How far you can dilute juice and still retain it's taste. That man (or child anyway) really can live on peanut butter alone. That gender inequality starts early in clothing: Boy's underpants have a wide band on top, while the waistband and leg holes on girls look the same, increasing the odds that she'll pull 'em on tangles or upside down. Sesame Street's air time. That the more my kids learn, the less I seem to know. The blessedness of naps, the inviolate importance of routines. And the one I wanted to add ... How much you could love one human being!
Thank you all! GF VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Ritaann >>>>>Nice to meet you!!! Beetleboss ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (thnx for the advice!) Hi fanj, acadia, beetlejuice, snowbound and hayc!
