Not "goodbye" but "see you soon"

Hi, All -

Well, today is my last day here @ TeeBeeDee - I am heading out on maternity leave starting on Monday.

It feels weird to be leaving what has become such a vibrant and exciting part of my life. I know I'll be back -- covered in spit-up and poop, perhaps -- but back, nonetheless.

Still I'm sad. TeeBeeDee has become such a integral part of my life, and I've really enjoyed getting to know so many of you. The good news is that Kat (akabukowski) is doing a fantastic job as our Community Manager - so if you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let her know. I will be keeping my account here, but not answering any private messages, so be sure you contact TBD by sending an email to feedback@tbd.com.

Sending you all the best, and see you in a few months.

warmly,

betty (oldest 1st time mom on the planet) ray

Well, good luck, world's oldest mom to be. When you return covered in spit and poop you'll find that we ordinary folk wallow in that all day, every day. That's life.

Good luck! Boy or Girl?

You aren't the oldest mom--you will be wonderful and your life experiences will help you be calmer about things. You will be just fine!!

Let us know how things go and post a picture of your little angel baby!

And enjoy every minute of your maternity leave because it will go by faster than you realize.

Remember, all the spitup,poop, leaking breastmilk, and anything else a baby brings into your life will wash off.

Aw, Betty Ray! That child is going to put the rest of us--our concerns, relatonships and vents--in limbo. A lot of the stuff that bothers us here is small stuff. Go with the BIG STUFF--yourself and your health and your family. It's not like we're going away...Congratulations and best wishes.

bettyray, I don't think anyone will care that you're covered in "baby scents". Most folks here are familiar with them. Just have a healthy baby and come back healthy yourself.---HD

BR,

I'll be keeping you in my prayers -- best wishes for the coming weeks and I know we'll all look forward to having you back full time in the TBD family (and I'll try not to harrass Kat as much as I tried to harrass you <G>)

God bless!

Enjoy every minute with your baby. I doubt you'll think about work much, but when you do remember there is a community thinking about you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
