Woohoo! I thought this was gonna be great, but now I realize I'm very indecisive with some answers! lol

What is your first name? April

When is your due date? December 2 (according to ME...Dr. still has it as Nov 29...but I know my life, lady!)

What part of the world are you from (be as vague/specific as you want)? I'm from VA (Hampton Roads region), but living in West TX right now

What number baby/pregnancy is this for you? 1st baby/2nd pregnancy

What is your occupation or dream occupation? Currently a recreation therapist at a psych facility - til next week. Dream occupation would be something crafty I could do and sell and still be a SAHM

Does your/will your nursery have a theme or color combination? We haven't gotten that far, yet, as we're not converting our guest room until after the holidays (to accommodate family when they come to see baby). So, it'll probably be a neutral gray with some color accents. (Team Green here!)

Have you bought anything for baby yet? Lots of second hand clothing, a swing, nursing pillow, little lounger, dresser, a Hogwarts Gryffindor onesie from Wizarding World of Harry Potter because....Harry Potter.

If you have bought things, what is your favorite thing that you have gotten so far? A lamp from IKEA for baby's room when the time comes to create the nursery. It's just an orb lamp but I liked it!

What is your favorite part of pregnancy so far? So far, it's feeling baby kick because it helps keep my anxiety lower!

Do you have a favorite maternity/baby brand? I wouldn't say I have a favorite, I've had very little luck, this town isn't much for shopping.

One thing you will splurge on this pregnancy? The stroller/carseat will probably be a splurge and DH is dead set on a specific carrier/backpack so "we can go hiking!", but I think my "splurge" is being allowed to quit my job lol

What are your top pregnancy related priorities? Make sure this baby is born, healthy; reduce stress by avoiding toxic people; and eat as much ice cream and as many snow cones as possible.

What is your favorite book? Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. It was assigned reading in school and I've read it multiple times! That, and the Harry Potter series. Also, latest faves are "Furiously Happy" and "Let's Pretend This Never Happened" by Jenny Lawson - so HILARIOUS!

What is your favorite tv show? Game of Thrones!

What is your favorite movie? Difficult, I'll just say anything Disney. Currently, I'm still loving Maleficent. I can also quote Stepbrothers and Mean Girls, and have done it in front of the hospital CEO....

What is your favorite band/singer? Even MORE difficult. I like U2, Paramore, Taylor Swift, Linkin Park....I'd answer it differently tomorrrow probably!

Anything else you would like us to know? I've really enjoyed being on this board with y'all!

I grew up in North Texas and went out west for every family vacation. Love Big Bend, I keep meaning to make it back there.

@jennbaylor12 We've been here 2 years, 2 more to go. I don't mind the slower pace here but I miss real trees!  I worked in a psych hospital in VA for about 7 years before moving here....this one is NOT run very well to say the least. I love working with this population, but not at the expense of my safety. 
@slartybartfast reppin' 757 all day, er'ryday
@mysteryship we haven't made it there. We keep saying we're going to explore but then something stupid happens like I get a job that requires me to work weekends....lol

Nice to meet you!

I'm with ya on loving different genres of music.

Ah, mean Girls... there are so many situations that this movie can be quoted... love it. I also find that Dumb and Dumber works well, too. Step Brothers... that is my DH, can quote that thing like no tomorrow. He consistently sings the Boats and Hos song at random.

We love Paramore over here too! My three year old will watch Paramore videos on YouTube and dance and sing along to them lol

@Kacie209 - my boss is a music therapist and when she's singing nice songs I sometimes get the urge to shout BOATS & HOES in the background
