november2011 - Profile (original) (raw)

This is a due date community for babies expected in November 2011. Moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc, are all welcome! Feel free to post stories, pictures, questions, progress posts, anything you feel like! Remember, these parents are going through the same things you are, you are among friends. Some of my best LJ friends came from a due date community, and lets hope we can have that kind of comradery here!

Membership is moderated to stop any spam and/or trolls, if you have a decent history of posts, you should have no problem being approved right away. If you are a real person, and want to be approved, message the_moaner_lisa about your circumstances.

November2011's Simple Rules (As of March 2011)

  1. Post often and comment a lot! A sense of support and community is one of the many things that makes LiveJournal great, let's have it be one of our priorities!

  2. Parenting discussions often become heated, just try to keep in mind that there are a lot of different views. Let your opinion be known, but please don't harass anyone.Try to keep it civilized, please. If there is a incident that needs more than one warning, you will be banned. I don't want to have to ban anyone, so lets try to not have that happen. I expect for there to be a lot of playful banter, arguments and learning, so as long as no one is offensive or excessively mean, there should be no problem.

  3. Please post pictures behind a cut. Any kind. They mess with people's layouts, and then you make people mad, and we don't want that. Just to be safe post behind a cut. Here's the link to the FAQ about LJ cuts. Make sure to include a description of the image!

  4. Please post an introduction! It's so nice to get to know each other. You can post your intro anyway you would like, but here is a form to make it simpler. Feel free to introduce yourself with or without the form:

Your name/age?:

Your partner's name/age?:

Location?:

When is your due date?:

Are you going to find out the sex?:

What are you hoping for?:

Is this your first child?:

What are you most excited about?:

What are you least excited about?:

Any other information you'd like to share?:

  1. Try to tag your entries so other members can find them easily if they have the same question as you.

  2. Have fun! It's going to be a long 40 weeks, and beyond!
