hello, mamas!

hi, everybody! i've just joined hip mama, but have been reading and enjoying many of your posts for a while now. i just so appreciate all of the frank advice, great stories, and all around lady community you have here, and i wanted in! i don't have any kids of my own, yet, but my partner and i are planning to start trying this coming fall. i want to take advantage of the luxury that is planning ahead for motherhood, and along with a fair bit of reading, developing community with fellow mamas was something i really wanted to do. i've read the hip mama survival guide, which is actually what brought me to this site. so there's my little introduction. see you all around the blogosphere!
