[blparent] Introduction

[Judy Jones]

Greetings, Caitlin, you are most welcome on the list.

There are many out there who have started the parenthood adventure with 
little or no experience, but it comes fast enough.

ARe you in a situation where you can be involved as your sibblings start 
their families andjoin them on shopping trips for new baby things?

I would also recommending acquainting yourself with the La Leche League in 
your area.  Although they started out as an organization to promote 
breastfeeding, they do that, as well as educate in all things child rearing. 
You'll get a lot of valuable info and make a lot of friends.  When we were 
raising our young daughters, we lived in different areas of the country, but 
I found the various groups I joined to be very welcoming.

Enjoy this new adventure.

Judy

Hello and Happy New Year,
   My name is Caitlin and I am new to this list. I live in New England
with my husband and two dogs. I've been married for a year and a half.
My husband and I do not have any children thus far, but we have begun
to discuss starting our family within the next two years or so.
However, both my sister and sister in law are actively working on
starting their families, and it is my fervent hope I'll have a little
niece or nephew before 2015 draws to a close. I wanted to subscribe to
the list because I've not really had much experience caring for a baby
or young toddler; I didn't baby sit much growing up and never really
had many young children in my family. I'd also like to learn some
things which will help when I am tasked with taking care of the little
ones who will hopefully join my family soon.
   I just wanted to introduce myself. I'll mostly lurk, I'm sure, but
I am glad to learn from all of you and participate when, and how, I
can with my limited knowledge.

All the best,
Caitlin
