Gudday....
I'm Maree, married to Nick and mum to Sean (11), Andrew (23 months) and Connor (6 months). Sean is known as the pre-teen, Andrew the terrortot and Connor the gigantababy. They respond to many other names too, apart from the preteen that doesn't really respond to much unless it involves invitations for food or playstation time. Photos... (because I don't have one of the three of them together)... 
I'm a stay at home mum, but once upon a time back in the dark ages of 2005 I was a regional manager for a govt. department. I like small walks in the moonlight (usually to a cafe) and long walks around the shopping mall (usually ending at a cafe). Oh, and if the cafe comments didn't give it away...I'm an Aucklander. ------------- |

Awesome re-introductions and pics, ladies! Alrightey - I'm Andie, married to Jono and we have a beautiful 6-month old daughter, Ella. I slowly weaned myself of my social work career to become a SAHM. Hmmmm... photos of the 3 of us together are very hard to come by.
So that's us, of course, and our wee girl...
OK so we don't always have her in hats... honest! She just tried on her daddy's beanie, and the other pic was taken at a 2nd birthday party. ------------- Andie |

Hi, I'm Annie, just turned 32 year old rock and roller in a mums body. Am engaged to Rod, 43 and stepmum to Nathan- 15 going on 25, and mum to Jacob (2 in June) and Charlotte (Valentines baby! 8 weeks old). We live in Blenheim, but I come from a suburb of antartica called Invercargill - to steal a phrase I saw in another thread!! I work for Michael HIll Jewellers, which I love, I have been there 4 years. I used to be a sales perosn, but have been the office manager since i returned form my firstlot of maternity leave. The hours suit me better, and I'm a controll freak, so the job suits me right down to the ground. Am planning on returning in december. Rod has his won business, he is an AV technician, so as well as fixing tv/vid/stereo/microwaves/vaccums/electric fences and all sorts, he also wires up and installs systems in new homes.
Novel, huh? Here is a pic of me and babies from about 6 weeks ago. Of course, I am far better looking and thinner in real life.

Oooh I love this thread. So many beautiful babies and children, oh and parents.
My name is Renee, I'm 22, and I am about to burst! Actually, I have about five weeks left until my first child is born. His name will be Samuel Lee. Samuel, after Samuel Vimes the Watch Commander from the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett. His father named him. I am a stay at home soon to be mother who does so many crosswords that she dreams about them at night time. I did a years study in Early Childhood Education, a computer course, a three month stint at Uni before shamelessly dropping out to work at a supermarket. I also worked for three years as that bored looking girl behind the counter in the service delicatessan that gives you nice parcels of ham but would prefer to throw it at you. I live with my partner of a year Murray, he's 28 going on 82. He is a fitterer/turnerer/person. We were together all of about six months when I got pregnant, so we're sort of fumbling our way through taking each day as it comes and trying not to murder each other. I enjoy reading, writing and sniffing my various household cleaners (it's a pregnancy craving, I swear!) I couldn't find a picture of the two of us, so here is a recent picture of me! I'll be posting billions of pictures of my baby when he arrives, so for now you'll just have to imagine what he looks like. (His father looks just like me, cept with a beard) Would love to meet some of you by the way! I live in Hamilton but I don't drive, so if you live say within about 10 metres from my letterbox that would be great.
Oh god I need to wax my eyebrows. |

Hello my name is Toni and I’m addicted to Oh Baby and MCNs 
I’m 29 and trying to ignore the fact that I’ll be 30 in 3 months time! *eeeek!* I have terminal blonde-istus and nappy brain, married to Brent (36) for the past 3 years, been together for 8 years. He part owns a family car mechanic business, we live and work in West Auckland. Caitlin is our first little princess and we’ve spent the last 9 months talking ourselves into and out of having another baby lol I’m originally a Pom (London) and met Brent on his OE and came back for a “holiday”! 7 years is a good stint for a holiday hehehe and now my whole family are out here
I work 4 days a week for a govt department that train people to respond to marine oil spills (and we also respond to the big jobbies like the one in Gisborne a couple of years ago). In my “spare time” I’m a FuzziBunz agent which I absolutely LOVE doing (apart from the actual sales speil bit – have been known to do a demo and forget to take the order! Whoopsies!  ) It's great to get out and about with Caitlin (my helpful assistant) and meet all of the gorgeous lil’ bubbas.

Hiya, my name is Clare, I'm 32 and totally love being a mother, dispite my pre-baby freak outs!
My DP is Jono, he's 38, we've been together for 4 1/2 years, not married, but one day we'll sort that bit out! I am doting mother to Joshua Hadynn - the absolute light of my life. He will be 1 in 2 1/2 weeks time and I just can't believe where that time has gone! I'm being made redundant from my job at the end of this week - so I'll keep you posted as to what it is I do for a job. We live in Auckland, although I am originally from Levin, went to Uni in Palmy North, lived in London for quite a few years, and Wellington for 1 year! Auckland is my home of choice now, and would not want to live anywhere else (although the thought of a New York loft has always appealed, but I digress.....), yeah, so Jafa girl me now! I am also step mother to Rebecca and Anton, who are fantastic children, and totally wonderful with my little man. I will post a pic on here when I have a spare moment to download.

Hi. Thought I better introduce myself as I have been lurking on here for far too long.
Im 28 (29 next week). Hubby is 33. We have been married for just over a year but have been together for over 8 years. We both currently work full time, but that will be changing soon all going to plan
We both have daughters from previous relationships. Mine is 10 1/2 and absolutely gorgeous...although her whole world comes crashing down around her very regularly now for very little reason (puberty)!!! His is 8 and lives in another city. We have been ttc for 9 months and trying very hard to be patient. Its been so long since my daughter was born that it will be like the first time again no doubt! I won't give anymore away or post any pics as my parents are well known by many due to their job, but happy to pm details like my name etc Obviously its a bit sensitive as we are still ttc and you all know what its like.

hhm i guess i will introduce myself. i think i did waaaaay back at the very start of the old introductions thread, possibly.
I'm Janine, i'm 25, my partner, should darn well be husband by now, Mike, is also 25, one day older than me. We had been planning our wedding for march next year, but has been put on hold due to current dramas of the baby kind, and we decided that we should pay off a few things first as well. We have two girls, Paris who is 3.5 going on 35, very proper and bossy and has to have things done a certain way, and Ayja, who will be two in a few weeks, and is just plain crazy..and mischievious and a total crack up who also makes me want to pull my hair out regularly. I'm a nurse in the neonatal unit - which is an awesome job and hard sometimes too, but mostly very rewarding. I've been here on these boards for far too long. I think Paris was about 8 mths when i came back. Here's some pics of our family the first is me and miss Ayja, and the second is Paris and Mike. 
we also have a huge goldfish (that started off as a runt and now is huge.. over 20 cm long or more) his name is "fish", his friend "chips" died soon after we got them, but he now has a Silver friend called "nemo" We also have two standard chinchilla bunnies called smudge and Sarah, who like to eat and run away, and are just the fluffiest things ever. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Hi All. I'm Fiona, 26 years old (27 next month), married to Andrew and have one beautiful baby girl Gabrielle who is almost 8mths old. We've had a bumpy ride for the past 8 months as Elle has been a tremendously unsettled baby. Things are finally starting to settle down and we are starting to enjoy our little family of 3. Needless to say if anyone is having problems with a sleepless, grizzly baby give me a PM as I'm now an expert
Before becoming a SAHM I was an HR manager. I'm currently eyeing up a work-from-home research position for a news and current affairs team + have just become an agent for Baby Harmony nappies. |

my turn!
I am Lyla, just turned 26, and have been married to scott, 28 for 14 months. funnily enough, our youngest daughter is 5 months old but dh cant take the credit as much as he tries, as she was premature.
I am a SAHM to Xanthe, 3.5years and the bestest princess you ever met, and Jordis, 5 months my snugglebunny. due to toxemia and pre eclampsia, we will not be trying for baby #3 and i still have to come to terms with that - my head says no but my womb goes twang! so Jordis is not allowed to grow until i am ready, ok? We live in invercargill (yes, we ARE a part of antarctica, funnily enough) and dh is a draughtsman/estimator. in a previous life i was a sales rep. I would love to go back to school and get my diploma in naturopathy, specialising in nutrition. one day until then i am happy at home with my girls.
We have a cat named mister, and when we move to a new house with a not so busy street, we have promised miss x a doggie and a kitty. *sigh* not sure how to get out of that one. Here is a pic of Jordis, may be one of the last ones of her in her bassinet, if i can cut the cord and put her in her own room that is! 
and Xanthe and Jordis together 
the only pics i have of dh and i are our wedding pics, and i can assure you we have both managed to put on a lot of weight since then! lol! i have a great excuse, so whats his? ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

Well I suppose I should write a little about myself aswell since I've been on here since I was preggers and never wrote an intro just got straight into the posting hehe.
Well I'm Eve (or Eva as I'm also known as) I'm 22 and a SAHM to my beautiful son Kahtrell who is 4 1/2 months old. My partner is Kev he's 20 (Ahhhhh younga man lolz) We've been together for about 3 years. Had a two year stint at Otago University in my youthful days. Am wanting to return to Tertiary study hopefully next year if I'm able to work up the courage to leave my son for more than an hour lolz...Mite just study extramurally til he's two. I'm totally confused about what I wanna study, I change my mind all the time.
We live in Hamilton with my inlaws til we have got ourselves set up (as we use to live in Oz but came back just before bubs was due, so had to start over again). Am born and bred in Whakatane though...and love going home to visit my parents and lax out at the beach. Anywho here's a pic of me and my boy. (Mite be a bit dark)

Well that was fun. NOT! Think I'll be burning those clothes! Where's Daddy Time when ya need it?! Sam and I have been married for 5 years. All I've ever wanted is to be a mum. So of course it took us 4 years and a weightloss of 35kg for us to get our darling wee Andy. I'm totally loving being a Mummy. I got introducted to OhBaby by Andie who is one of the lovely Mummies I have met since having Andy. I'm totally addicted! Sorry can't work out how to add photos :( Don't have them on a website to be able to add them. Can't get my little ticker to show either even though it shows up on myprofile page.
