I'll discuss everything that went down in the middle of nowhere shortly, I promise. Here, does this entice you? You can't resist this face. Go ahead... just try!
So, here's the thing: I always see all the visits on the sitemeter-thingy at the bottom of my page (getting close to 50,000!) but I don't know anything about you. So tell me (if you feel like it)--
1) Who are you?
2) How did you find my blog?
3) What stage of "baby life" are you at? (Thinking about having a baby, trying to conceive, pregnant, parent, just interested in people who over-share about their lives on the interwebz...)
4) Anything else you care to share about yourself!
5) If you have any questions for me or things you'd like to see me write about, feel free to tell me that too.
I look forward to "meeting" you, and so does Caroline! :)

4)Your blog has been really helpful to me on my motherhood journey and has in turn made me laugh and cry and think about things I have never considered. We were pregnant at the same time almost week by week and I enjoyed keeping up with what you were up to. Is that weird?
5) I'd love to hear all about your summer, it seemed like it would be awesome fun to have some time out.......
1) Lauren - aggielauren on The Nest/Bump. I live in Texas
2) I started following your blog on The Nest and followed you over here

5) I can't wait to hear about your summer and, like someone else already said, what your plans are for school now.
1. I'm from the nest, but mostly a lurker
2. I found it on the nest. You were due right around the same time as a friend of mine and how your story began caught my interest, so I stop by every once in a while :)
3. Thinking about it
4. My life's not quite interesting enough to blog, so that's why I lurk, but I love reading baby stories. :)

Hi! It's Karen! I know you from dabump. I have a pretty cute baby boy named Braydon who I think Caroline would fall madly in love with if they ever met. Let's see, more about me...well, I have a crazy girl crush on you..lol! I'm glad you're back from ND and I hope you get back to blogging more! :)
1. Erin, Ermimac from the Nest

4/5. Caroline is adorable! Are you planning on going back to dental school?
1) Who are you- Ashley... Ashley G from facebook/ Ashleybrynne from thebump
2) How did you find my blog? I started reading blogs on thenest about 2 weeks after you found out you were pregnant. We were both 2006 college grads from the same area (Villanova here) and pursuing doctoral degrees... I was intrigued and have been ever since!
3) What stage of "baby life" are you at? I am 33.5 weeks pregnant with our first. This is where you and I differ.... DH & I wanted a baby during my last year of law school, so our little girl isn't a "surprise" but definitely still a miracle baby!
4) Anything else you care to share about yourself? Julia, I have an insane amount of respect for you and how you have handled motherhood, a new marriage, taking a leave from dental school and PPD- I wish you lived closer so we could be "mommy friends" IRL!
5) Questions- is bf really that bad? I'm terrified!
1. Who are you? Laura who lives in Minnesota, but is originally from Fargo, ND.
2. How did you find my blog? Lurking on the bump.
3. Stage of baby life? My baby, Arabella or "Bella" will be 3 months old on Thursday.
4. Hmm... I'm a former dietitian turned SAHM. I'm EBF-ing and cloth diapering. And I love blogging: www.navigatingthemothership.blogspot.com.
5. I always love knowing the little details about peoples lives so just keep blogging, even about the mundane!
Also - I really appreciated how honestly you wrote about PPD. There's such a refreshing honesty to your writing that I've appreciated since I started reading your blog several months ago.
I'm CubbyMama on the Bump, and found your blog in your sig when you were pregnant with Caroline. I have an almost 3-year-old and a 4-month-old, both girls, and we're probably done having kids. =( I've enjoyed reading about your pregnancy and "meeting" Caroline via the internet!

2) from 3rd tri board on the Bump
3) SAHM to a 6.5 month old boy
4) I was due around the same time as you and also delivered a few weeks early and had the preemie/NICU experience.
5) I've enjoyed reading about your experience with pregnancy and your daughter. There are so many similarities with our stories but how it all began was definitely different as Eli was planned (since I've got 5 or so years on you and have finished grad school).
1) Shania
2) It was on the nest in featured blogs. I am terrified of getting pg unexpectedly (in grad school) so I was curious how you handle it. And I got hooked.
3) Not ttc for another two years
4) Your little girl is a doll!
My name is Hannah and I found your blog when I googled "pregnancy blogs" after I found out I was pregnant. I have a 5 month old daughter and because I live in Canada I get a year off from work. (I am American so I find this to be a great perk). We went to a wedding over the summer for some friends and it was in the Alberta badlands and the groom is a paleo guy out here!
1. Bex, random blogger from the ether.
2. Googling "unexpected pregnancy blogs" when I found out that I was, well, unexpectedly expecting myself.
3. Jack is four months old.
4. I've had a blog since 2003 - originally I wrote about my travels, but now that Jack's thrown a wrench in my nomadic lifestyle, it's evolving into a baby blog.
5. Your daughter is adorable.
1) Who are you? Toni (foreverMorgan on the bump)
2) How did you find my blog? The Bump
3) What stage of "baby life" are you at? I have a 2 yr old and a 6 mo old.

2. The Nest
3. Thinking about TTC in the near future
4. I'm also in the dental field as well! I'm a dental assisting student, and will be graduating this coming year.
5. First, I just want to say that your daughter is adorable! Do you plan on returning to dental school? How many years do you have left?
1) My name is Carolyn and I'm from Alberta, Canada (we don't know each other)!
2) I found your blog on The Nest a looooong time ago and I've been reading your updates ever since!
3) I have a 4 month old daughter so I like to read about Caroline to see what I have to look forward to!
1) Poplin2007 on TheBump
2) I think you were on 3rd tri when I lurked there from 2nd...
3) my son will be 3 months old next week!
4) I teach high school, and I've learned a lot about how NOT to raise my kid.
5) I love your blog, I wish you updated more often. How much longer until you're a dentist?
1. Korey
2. The Bump...I was in the same situation and you were due a month before me
3. little boy- 5 months (we didn't find out either!)
4. Wish I could be a SAHM...I felt such a connection to you!
5. Are you going back to school
1. christmasbride06 on the bump.
2. googling "unexpectedly expecting"
3. i am 22 weeks pregnant with a boy (also unexpectedly- I found out during my last law school finals, a few months before the bar).
4. I could really relate to your older blogs even though by the time I was going through it you had already had Caroline--i could appreciate your stressed out studying for your exam---because I took the bar when i was 16 weeks pregnant (ick!)
5. I wish you the best in finishing your degree and in raising Caroline! She is adorable!
1) Who are you? - ryanres1 from the knot, which lead me to the nest
2) How did you find my blog? - the nest, I think
3) What stage of "baby life" are you at? We are newlyweds and not thinking of kids any time soon, so your blog is a baby outlet for me. See how people deal with parenting and plus I love your sarcasm. I also follow www.edmoexperiment.blogspot.com for this reason.
1) Who are you?
I am PharmDMomma of the bump
2) How did you find my blog?
I was a follower on the bump, and came here when you shifted
3) What stage of "baby life" are you at? (Thinking about having a baby, trying to conceive, pregnant, parent, just interested in people who over-share about their lives on the interwebz...)
I'm the proud momma of an almost 6 month old boy, who has been eyeing sweet Caroline's pictures, and wants her as a girlfreind
4) Anything else you care to share about yourself!
I think that I maybe one of the reasons that your blog is at 50,000 hits, when you don't update for a few weeks, I tend to check your blog like 10 times a day!
5) If you have any questions for me or things you'd like to see me write about, feel free to tell me that too.
Nope, not particularly
Hey! I know I'm late to the party but I figured I'd let you know who I am anyway.
1) My name is NikkiFudgestick here and on the bump (usually just BOTB)
2) Someone I was following was following you, so I read your story from the beginning and have been reading ever since.
3&4) My husband and I were TTC but he lost his job and we moved to Mississippi where my family lives. He just recently moved back home to Texas to try and find another job and a place for us to live. So for now I'm alone up here, just waiting and reading blogs like yours in the meantime. Until we can be together and start TTC again. So thank you for keeping me sane!
1) Who are you? I am raykel6 on the bump.
2) How did you find my blog? I found your blog on the bump a few days after finding out (unexpectedly) that I was expecting. Our babies were due within a few days of each other, so I followed your blog. I loved the way you talked about what you were going through, as my husband and I went through many of the same emotions at each stage of pregnancy and babyhood.
3) What stage of "baby life" are you at? we have an 8 month old boy, Jackson
4) Anything else you care to share about yourself! I stay at home with Jackson and I love it! (most days)
5) If you have any questions for me or things you'd like to see me write about, feel free to tell me that too.
Keep writing! You say the things we would like to say but have a hard time expressing, so it is nice to hear that that everybody has those kind of days.
