From the Editor:

I'll admit I've had to re-write my "From the Editor" this month! I had it all written a couple of days ago - but a big announcement hit this morning and I'm really excited about it.

As I've shared before, NBBC is a SBI! site. This morning a huge announcement was posted in the SBI! community forums - a module that was once optional and outside of the SBI! package is becoming part of the "core" system.

Now this is big news for me - and for you - because it means you'll soon be able to give feedback and opinions on NBBC in a much more interactive way. For instance, on the labor and birth pages you'll be able to add hints of what worked particularly well for you during labor. Or on the diaper bags page you can share your favorite diaper bag (have I mentioned I still haven't found the "perfect" diaper bag?!) You'll even be able to ask questions and have others help me answer them!

Can you tell I'm excited about this??! You'll have the ability to share pictures - maybe you'd like to see a belly gallery, or cute baby gallery on the site? Can you think of other pages you'd like to be able to share experiences on, or your opinions?

Please let me know!

I'm also working hard on my second website at this point (I promise I'll share soon), so it will take some time for me to get the new features implemented on the site. I'll be sure to let you know when I do!

Oh, and don't forget to enter the giveaway for an adorable wooden bear toy - it's open for only a few more days... just leave a comment on the blog!
