How grateful I am for all that I have learned from this group, JM in general, and you women. Even though I might consider some of you pretty granola, I like granola

I have learned so much from you girls, and I think it is awesome how a diverse group of women with different attitudes & beliefs like us have bonded and learned from eachother. I never would have cloth diapered if it weren't for what I learned here. Heck, I may not have even ever got pregnant! I wouldn't have baby worn, or known what I do about natural birth, doulas, instead cups, and many other things. I have learned a lot from so many of you, and really I think you all are awesome. So thank you

Now all I need to do is meetup with some of you irl. I must warn you though, I am way hotter irl then I am in pictures

Awe too bad, I'm so much hotter in pics then in real life, total downer.

Doubtful Steph!!

I agree with you Michelle I am totally grateful for everyone here! I also learned so much from everyone here. I never even considered baby wearing before. I mean I had seen the carriers but didn't know about the wraps which look awesome!

I love you all!

and of course a meet up is in order I think!

Don't tease me Michelle......or do...whatever!! LOL

JediRach · #9 March 21st, 2010, 08:22 PM

Come to San Diego!

Frozendesire · #10 March 21st, 2010, 08:49 PM

It kinda sucks that the moms I get along with the most and truly respect and admire all live so far away!

LisanAndy · #11 March 22nd, 2010, 03:53 AM

I agree and I totally want to get together with you girls

Mars · #12 March 22nd, 2010, 05:15 AM

LOL!!! I feel the same way Michelle. I would have never breastfed past 3 months had it not been for JM. Before pregnancy I was adamant that 3 months was enough and I was definitely not for breastfeeding a baby with teeth. Now Amara is 14 months and she still breastfeeds on occasion.

I would love to meet you all too but with me being the lowly person from the Caribbean, I'm not sure when or if that will ever happen. Perhaps one of these times when I visit the US and my schedule isn't so hectic.

Granola... are we talking plain vanilla or crunchy here??

I wouldn't be nearly as informed if it weren't for our WTTCG either. Before I came to JM I posted on a different mommy forum, and let me tell you it was nothing like this! They knew nothing about charting or CDing or natural child birth, etc. (you get the point). So I am convinced that we have a very special group of ladies with a lot of wisdom to share!

alicenwonderland · #14 March 22nd, 2010, 05:38 AM

yay agreed! I can't even fathom how much i've learned from these boards! Love you all!

#15 March 22nd, 2010, 05:59 AM

I would never have fallen pregnant if it wasn't for JM and you girls. I can 100% whole hreatedly admit that. NEVER.

I'm thankful that JM, you girls & charting taught me that EWCM is normal

I'm not dirty or have an infection, it's CM

~*sierra*~ · #16 March 22nd, 2010, 06:08 AM

i have learned so much too! getting my copy of tcoyf was a major step for me, knowing whats going on in my bod has me less worried now that i'm ttc again.

love all of u!! my vote is we go visit mari in the carribbean! (i just got back from there and am in total withdrawal!)

Chelnae6 · #17 March 22nd, 2010, 06:26 AM

I too am thankful for all of you ladies.

i agree with going to the Caribbeans to visit Mari!!! ROADTRIP... well PLANE TRIP!!!!

I must say though, that I'm one of the hottest prego chicks that I know... Beware!!!

If it wasnt for JM I'd probably still be on bcp and thinking that constant headaches and weight gain from bcp were okay. And I'd have no idea what an instead cup is and the thought of it would totally freak me out. I wouldnt be as thankful that I am for falling prego either.

Thanks Ladies

Angelaosaurus-rex · #18 March 22nd, 2010, 02:25 PM

I love all you too! We are all pretty bad baconass!

midnight_starr · #19 March 22nd, 2010, 02:50 PM

I agree with everyone, I wouldn't have known hardly any of the things I know if I hadn't found JM!! You ladies rock my socks off!!!

Resi · #20 March 22nd, 2010, 03:49 PM

I feel the same.

I've learned so much from other mothers on this site. It helped me know what kind of mother I wanted to be. My journey into motherhood and learning truly started here on JM.
