I am all about trying to revive this forum. I will think of a weekly check in that I will manage. But for starters lets try to see who is out there and what other common interests do we share.
so fill us in:
1. how far along are you?
2. Do you have other children? if yes, what age?
3. Do you have pets?
4. Are you working out? if yes, where? if no, are you wanting to try prenatal yoga? (hint hint...i want to try prenatal yoga!)
5. would you consider a monthly baby book club?
6. describe your pregnancy journey in three words.

this is my first baby but not my first pregnancy. I have an early loss history
I have one dog. a Golden Retriever puppy! His name is Lucky Finn and I'm sort of obsessed! we are on instagram #luckyfinn
I've started working out one on one with a personal trainer about 3 or 4 weeks ago, prior to that I just walked my dog b/c of my loss history I am pretty paranoid. It's getting better the further along we've gotten. I used to be an athletic type, runner triathlon, yoga...so I really want to try some classes etc. *esp Full Circle has prenatal yoga in Winter Park
I'm sort of a reader, too. at least I used to be but lately I'm much more of a nap taker! I could be persuaded to read baby books, etc
Getting me pregnant took forever! YEARS. I'm 42. we had to do IVF. I wish I would have done this years ago. it would have saved me so much time and heart break. But I am so thankful for this journey and I treasure this pregnancy and my baby daughter!
So my answer to #6 is: LONG, SAD & EXPENSIVE
I live in Baldwin Park, near downtown/Winter Park
I am interested in all baby stuff (cloth diapering, attachment parenting, etc) I also like movies, art, sports, cooking, baking, decorating, the Bible, and music. I'm also a sales rep for All'asta ; which I adore!!

1. how far along are you? 24 weeks today 2. Do you have other children? if yes, what age? First baby second pregnancy. First one was almost two years ago and ended at about 9 weeks... We think. 3. Do you have pets? We've got four and a stray... 2 cats: Seymour (black kitty... He's totally my baby. Loves cuddling with me) and Templeton (she's a Siamese looking one and has an obsession with hair ties and twist ties). We've also got two corgis. Jack and Roxy. The stray is a black kitty that is about a year old probably. We moved into our house and a few weeks later she showed up. Super tiny and skinny, like could see every bone. Come to find out she had kittens... Yay... We captured them and her and they lived on our porch for a few months. We got her fixed and ear clipped. Got her vaccinated too. We committed to taking care of her. We had a friend adopt one kitten and the other two we took to the SPCA on Halloween. We couldn't keep taking care of everyone and they kept finding holes in the screen. Anyway, Mama lives on our porch basically... When she's not out hunting. She's really sweet and wants love all the time. 4. Are you working out? if yes, where? if no, are you wanting to try prenatal yoga? (hint hint...i want to try prenatal yoga!) Nope. 5. would you consider a monthly baby book club? No idea 6. describe your pregnancy journey in three words. It doesn't exist 7. what area of Central Florida are you located? St. Cloud 8. Any other hobbies or interests? I play world of Warcraft. (Don't judge. My mother made me do it. And yes she MADE me. And then I made friends.) I used to go swing dancing a lot until I broke my foot a few years back and they changed the venue with crappy floors. I'm a civil war buff and do living histories. Heading to Georgia this weekend for one and finished a dress/robe about an hour ago so I have something that actually fits. I also enjoy cross stitching, scrapbooking (eventhough it's been forever), I enjoy crafts...
Here are pics of my baby kitties. (They're a year and half...)
