Welcome to all the new parents!
Gin - nice to have you back!

Maybe post in the playgroup/playdates part of the forums asking about meeting up with other parents? I don't think most people check this intro thread unless they are introducing themselves!
Shiva - welcome to Halifax! I just fixed the _link_ to your blog because it wasn't working properly. Great to have a blogger on board! If you'd ever like to guest blog for HRM Parent, please let me know!
CherylAnn - welcome and a big congrats to you! Alex is such a great name - hehe, my son's name too!
Great to have you all here! Any questions about anything, just let me know - or post in the forums, of course!
