            • Me too - we should consider doing something in person whenever people start doing that. I'm sure my DH (note the adept use of acronym) would love for me to find you all now...and maybe sleep over your place.

        • I thought "PIMP" was a lot funnier, before I hit 35 wks. Now? It's just kind of..... true. Every time I sneeze.

    • Click on the FAQs (lower right of "new" board) & it explains them all. But to get you started: dd/ds/dh/dw = darling daughter/son/husband/wife. SO=significant other. ITA=I totally agree. IMO= in my opinion. EBF=exclusively breast feeding.

    • When I was trying to figure out what the DH stood for, my husband and I were brainstorming. He believed (and still does!) that it stands for "designated hitter," so that's what I call him!! :)
