I'm hoping I can be like that. I'm trying to push myself to be more social.

Just take your time.
I noticed your baby is due in May. I had two daughters in May. One at the beginning of the month and one at the end of the month lol
Bet your really excited, I know I would be

I'll try! Thank you. Yeah, my little guy is due May 25th. I'm really excited as he is my first. I'm nervous and scared, but overjoyed. It's been really nice lately as he's been very active which is reassuring.

Aw, I've been told May is a popular time haha. How old are your girls?

wow the 25th is my daughter's birthday!
she will be 39 and my other daughter would have been 44.
yeah I think I'm oldest in this group lol

That's awesome! We will see if he shows up before or after his due date. My brother and I were premature.... I came a month and a little bit early. So, I do worry about that a bit!

Guess that makes you the wise owl in the group :)!

ROFL, never been accused of being a wise owl :D
But your still wonderful even after coming a month early so don't worry. :) And I can only speak for myself, a little early is better than late

You've got life experience so I'm going to call you the wise owl :) Hopefully that's okay!

Yeah, been told there's lots of issues either side, but I'm just happy letting him figure out when he wants to be here. I'll be building his crib soon. I'm looking forward to it, even if the thought tires me out laughs

Hiya. If you would go to our forum group HERE and join and I'll let you in as soon as I can.

Welcome to KS. Grats on your first baby! So many new babies coming in 2019 to KSrs. I'm starting to think shyness is a qualification to be a KSr since so many of us consider ourselves shy. lol Outside of KS I am seriously timid and even within I sometimes need to step back in communicating. We're all pretty mellow and it's been pretty quiet in KS lately. I think if slippy and spiritedlass didn't chat there would be little conversation lately. Thankfully they keep chatting! ❤

that's fine with me lol
I got my cribs already built so your doing great. :)


are you calling me a big mouth? lololol

Whoops sorry! I figured requesting was to be done afterwards.

That's actually pretty awesome because you folks can relate to me. Most people in real life get on me for being so shy and it's really hard.

I'm calling you the talkative wise owl ;)

Oh yeah, not supposed to join until gry or I ask, though I don't think I've ever said no to anyone joining, I do like to take a look at the application first. Frustrates me when people tell me I shouldn't be or not to be the way I am especially if they dont' understand how difficult it is to not be that.

Woohoo! So I did it right the first time :D

Yeah, it's extremely frustrating. It adds so much pressure and with my anxiety it just absolutely makes it hard to do anything without feeling like I'm doing it to make everyone around me happy. So, I decided to take baby steps on my own haha. Dipping the toes in and such to try to get used to things.

Congrats! I’m about 6 months now and having a little girl. Are you going to find out the gender? Most people apparently use the blood test to find out now but we had to wait for anatomy scan thanks to insurance. We couldn’t justify $300 out of pocket when we were perfectly happy either way. We originally weren’t going to find out at all but we got too curious for our own good.

Thank you! It’s probably my fault y’all didn’t know for forgetting to post it to the forum, though I talk about it on the discord all the time. Sorry!

https://romertopfdirect.com/USA/Romertopf-Recipes This will give you an idea, I got the round multi-functional baker And one of the new cookbooks arrived and I found a recipe that I am dying to try. It's the Gingered Roast Chicken with Nectarines an the name of the cookbook is low fat, low sodium Clay Pot Cookbook.

Good afternoon everyone.

Hi! Congratulations! When I was pg with my daughter, I swear she was a karate prodigy because my ribs and everything else hurt because she kicked so hard and so much. lol She also decided for herself when she was to be born. She was considered late and then when I went into labor she said no. Three days of heavy labor later and she finally gave in and was here. All 9lbs 7ozs of her. lol My son was much easier. 5 hours and he was here. He weighed 9lbs 9ozs. Big babies! Now she's 36 with 2 kids of her own, and my son is 32.

I love how you say you are a turtle; I consider myself a porcupine. Now if I could figure out how to fire off those proverbial quills, it would be great! lol

I so agree with you on that!

I can finally tell you all i am going to be a new auntie. First time for a baby. The others i am auntie to were already over 7 when I met them. (Dmystry is my real life big sister.)

I completely understand your shyness.

babies! Congratulation and best wishes.

Hi! and thank you!

porcupines are pretty darn awesome! I feel like comparing myself to an animal works to decribe how I am haha.

yay for people understanding. Means if I put my foot in my mouth out of awkwardness you folks will understand!

and thank you!

all our feet have been in our mouths. We are pretty understanding and forgiving. I have meds for anxiety and had a terrible spiral a few years back now I have medicine help and had counselling. I am not talking much now not because of anxiety but headaches which are scrambling my words and making me so very tired. I am here, just lurking a lot.

I was on meds for a bit then had to stop due to pregnancy. I can definitely understand headache a lot and if you ever need to vent I'm here :) I usually lurk around everywhere, I was just hoping to have a place to break that a little and I think I found it. Which woohoo for that

Morning to everyone and so nice to see peeps talking alot! :D


lol okay I'll be the talkative old owl not sure how wise though


mega thanks for that link and that recipe sounds so good, made my mouth water!

, ,
wow I'll have to become a "grammy" to all your children lol I love babies :)


sorry to read your still having those blasted headaches. :(


no matter how old our children get, they are still babies to us lol

So Masq will be starting soon and I'm ready, how about ya'll?
