Hi....I am new

[monstersmom]

Hi, I am new here, so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kym, I have 5 children. 4 boys and a girl. I am in school and stay pretty busy, I dont have time to meet many people, so I thought it would be nice to be able to talk to other parents.

Hello. We have a lot of mommies-to-be at the moment, some who are ready to pop any day now. I'm 27 weeks pregnant with my first baby, a little girl. One thing I like about this forum is that experienced moms can offer up helpful tips and such when anyone has a question.

[Cheri]

wow. 5 kids. Patient mommy. So what are their ages?

[courey]

I don't think I could handle 5 at all! I've got three and they keep me on my toes as is. ;)

Hi, I'm Melissa. I have two lovely children.
Kylie, 7 yrs.
Gavin, 6 mos.

I love your name...reminds me of this running joke me and my hubby have. If someone does something to him he doesn't like, he will say "Kym did that once" ...pause.."once." I love the name Gavin, you don't hear that a lot.

[mellissima]

hehe thanks, it's actually part of a tori amos song.

I [heart] the name Gavin too! ;) It's so fitting for him.

Hello there! I'm Lisa and I'm 7 months pregnant today, actually. I'm sure you have some good advice to give us moms to be!

[monstersmom]

Congratulations to both of you! Not to much farther Lisa, the last two months will fly by! Benaiah, Jeraiah and Josaiah are all biblical names although I cannot remember the exact meanings. Jaikobe (pronounced like Jacoby)is an alternate form of Jacob. I dont know where Shammond came from,lol, I think my hubby named him after a basketball player. I just wanted to give my kids something different, so that they didnt have 6 other kids in the class with their name.

How old is everyone here? I am 26. Is anyone from the east coast? I am in North Carolina.

[courey]

Where in NC are you?
I'm near Asheville, and there's another of us in here, too :)
I'll be 30 this year... dun dun dunnnn. ;)

[terriblyvexed]

I am East coast also - I live outside Washington D.C.

I am 35 a.k.a. the dreaded "advanced maternal age". lol

[garoux]

Midwestern girl here, complete with the long "o" accent. I'm 24 and will be 25 in September.

[dormilona]

5 kids at 26, wow! you make me feel old having my first at 25. you must be one busy momma. i'm way impressed!

[monstersmom]

They definately keep me on my toes. Mostly they are good kids though. I also have a great husband who helps out a lot. I think I would be gray by now if he wasn't here.
