Smile My 1st Post...Hello!

I have been reading this forum for some time, and finally decided to post

While friends & family can be supportive, Its great to find a community that discusses beyond, "so, when are you going to China?"
I really appreciate the support I read here!

By the way, my screen name "Biedronka" is Polish for Ladybug. I emigrated to the US (Chicago) from Poland after completing my education...so please excuse any spelling & grammar errors (my American-Born husband is proof-reading this 1st post )
I look forward to reading & posting!

Welcome both of you!

I will have to remember Beidronka. My mother-in-law is Polish although born in the US. Since my baby book will be full of Jadroginskis I might include that somewhere in there.

Welcome! Family is definitely wonderful in so many ways, but there is no replacement for the people here- who really, truly understand what you're going through.
