POLL: your transition from the knot to the nest
if you started out on the knot, how long did it take for you to come to "the dark side"?
it took me quite a while before i finally transitioned over - i love(d) talking wedding so much and couldn't let go. ?heh. ?i think we were past our 2nd anniversary by the time i finally got comfy on the nest.
but i know that a lot of girls never make it over here because the constant baby talk scares the bejesus out of 'em. ??

Re: POLL: your transition from the knot to the nest
Same situation like you Wan. I loved (still love) wedding talk so I think it was at least 6 months-12 months before I came here.
I think I came over a few months after getting married. If I remember, our board wasn't all that hoppin' at that point...and slowly picked up as people got married and made their way over.
for me, i was done with wedding talk...I didn't have baby on the brain when I came over but it seemed like nobody did. And then...suddenly a lot of girls that got married around the same time also started getting pregnant around the same time and the board turned more baby related.
I still think there are lots of other topics discussed here that are not related to babies.
That was me, although I was just a lurker on the Knot. I was over the wedding talk pretty much right away but didn't make it over here until 3 yrs later because it seemed liked it was mostly pregnancy/baby related talk.
Everybody seems so nice here that I do wish the board was more active like the LA Knot board was (I curse myself for lurking back then... I should've just come out of the closet!).
I think I moved over to the Nest after ~7 months from my wedding. (Although my information to the left shows joining 2007, that is not true. That is when I changed my signature name). Anyway, I can't recall anymore when I transitioned over since I was married back in 2004. Although I did miss the wedding planning and so forth, after a while it did become tiresome. Plus I really didn't have any vendors to recommend, other than my florist (which I LOVED), church and reception site. Plus, the constant talk or posts about venting about Maid of Honor issues, what wedding color to choose, or deciding between vendors became somewhat boring. By the way, can I use this time to vent that I REALLY HATED MY DJ AND PHOTOGRAPHER??!!!
Yeah, I have heard many times that some have stopped coming over to the LA Boards because of the regular talk of babies. I can imagine that can be difficult or frustrating for those that want to participate on the boards but aren't ready, don't care, or can't relate to the posts about babies or kids. However, it is good that the Nest offers other boards to go to. Some of them have very nice ladies on there.
I came over within months of my wedding. When I came over there was not much BOTB talk. BOTB is something I always think about, but we had decided to wait three years.
I also really enjoyed being on the Knot and hearing from some of the veterans of the field, Wan you were one of them
.
This is me.
Between baby posts, folks asking for travel/neighborhood/doctor recommendations, and posts specific to only a handful of people, there's just not much here for me, sorry to say.
I spend most of my time on Money Matters.
shananananananananananah!
congratulations! ?it's awesome to "see" you. ?post more often, will ya??
Oh I will be...I've been over on first tri, but those boards are effing dead, so I just wandered over to the nest today. Morning Sickness and Unemployment have got me couch ridden, so I find myself quickly slipping back into my old routines...
Your little bean is all grown up! Gorgeous!
Right after I got married I came over to the darkside. I was only a lurker on the knot but I learned a lot.
The split of the politics board brought me to the nest on a regular basis.
I pop on here occasionally but agree with PPs that the kid-centric talk usually keeps me posting mostly on travel and P&CE.

I think this was also when I made the move...I would check the Knot Newlywed board and it eventually became the Nest.
I can't post all that often anymore because work won't let me have access. Sucks! And computer time at home is so limited. So, when I get a chance I'm mostly lurking now and trying to keep up.
