I'm currently a bank teller but have a degree in education and would like to work in university enrollment or advising. If I had more time and energy, my interests would be reading and crafting.

My name is Patti; I'm 30 and DH is 33. Our EDD is March 2. We live in the 'burbs of Baltimore, and I work in higher ed in Washington DC. I'm also a yoga teacher -- not for the money, just cause I LOVE it! I'm super excited to take prenatal yoga classes down the road
This is not my first pregnancy. I had an unplanned pregnancy (with a condom that didn't break!) when I was 22. I decided adoption was the best choice for me, so I have a darling 7.5-year-old birth daughter who just finished 1st grade. It's an open adoption, and I'm incredibly close with the family. It will be interesting to compare this pregnancy with mine from 8 years ago. I wonder if my body will "remember" and I'll pop earlier, or if after 8 years it'll take a while before I show!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone on here!
