abbreviations

hello again,

Ok, so like I said before, I am really new here.  I need some help with all of the abbreviations that you ladies use (DH, TTC, etc.)  I think I know what they all mean, but I don't want to assume.

By the way, my name is Linsie and I am in Birmingham.  I don't think I really introduced myself before. 

Thanks,

Re: abbreviations

  • Nice to meet you Linsie!  I'm Wendy and I also live in the Birmingham area. Here is what I could think of at the top of my head: 

    DH - Dear Husband, Darling Husband, D*mn Husband (depending on the day)

    TTC - Trying to conceive

    MIL - Mother-in-law

    FIL - Father-in-law

    SIL - Sister-in-law

    BIL - Brother-in-law

    DD - Dear Daughter

    DS- Dear son

     

    Siggy coming soon....
  • Hi and welcome Linsie. Don't feel bad about the abbreviations, I've been here six years and I don't even know them all. My daughter, Lauren, is also on the board although both of us have not been in as often as we used to. Lauren is also in B'ham.
  • Hey Linsie! I'm Erin! I live in Athens with my DH (dear husband today ;) ) Everyone on the board is really great. Don't think twice about asking questions here. We aren't snarky like other boards! The ladies on the bump are also really great too when that time comes :)

  • Hey Linsie,

    If you scroll down, on the left side of the page in the blue box there is a link marked Bump Board Glossary that has a lot of the most used abbreviations. :)

    Ditto!  I have to use it sometimes myself :)  Welcome to our little side of the nest.  I'm Heather and live just outside of B'ham.  Our board used to be super active....but it has kinda died down lately.  Hopefully we can rev things up a bit in here :D

  • Hi, and welcome!  I also live in the B'ham area. 
  • Hi Linsie, I'm Katie and I'm in Auburn.

    FYI - I'd remove your full name from your siggy.  Not that it's an issue on this board but you never know who is out there on other boards........

  • I am new too! Loving it so far...

    I have not introduced myself either, so I saw this as a great opportunity.

    I am Brittney, live in Huntsville, and I'm not married nor do I have children! But those are in the plans! I have been with my guy for over four years.

    *hello all*
