Sorry I'm so late to the party here. I LOVED reading the responses and getting to know you lovely ladies a little bit better. I think we should do one of these a week!!
Name (If you feel like sharing): Monica
Age: 29
Hometown/Where you live now: HT Orlando, FL LN: Liverpool/Syracuse, NY
Married on: 5/28/11
LO(s) name and birth date: Not here yet, but due 7/25/12
Will you have any more children?: We would love to have 2 or 3 total, but for now we are just taking things one day at a time.
Favorite thing about being a Mom: I can't wait to be able to answer these!
Biggest struggle being a Mom: so far the never ending "morning" (ha, what a joke of a term) sickness
Do you work or stay at home? If you work outside the home, what is your job? Work, work, work. I start my new job as an RN at the VA on the 30th. Can't wait! I would love to eventually get back into L&D nursing, but for now I am committed to the VA.
Share one random thing about yourself: DH and I both spent several years in the Marine Corps (him 6, me 8) and traveled the (less awesome parts of) the world. I am contemplating re-enlisting in the reserves once we get settled into parenthood. I had planned to re-enlist after school, but will wait now until after LO arrives.
Hometown/Where you live now: NYC!/ northern suburb of Buffalo, NY
Married on: 8/7/2010
LO(s) name and birth date: TBD and EDD is 4/30/12
Will you have any more children?: Powers that be willing, definitely
Favorite thing about being a Mom: Not a mom yet!
Biggest struggle being a Mom:
Do you work or stay at home? If you work outside the home, what is your job? The plan is to go back to work after maternity leave, I'm an architect.
Share one random thing about yourself: My husband and I met in undergrad almost 12 years ago. After much struggles due to being a mixed couple from outside sources we finally married in 2010. Best day ever and would not have it any other way. First time mom looking forward to the journey in our new forever home that we are currently remodeling!
Figures that as one of the newbies that this post is designed to "meet" I would see it so late in the game ... blame it on my current lack of life! I really do enjoy reading this board even if I don't post responses and I'm happy to be here with you girls!

Do you work or stay at home? If you work outside the home, what is your job? I used to work. Moving up here was not the smartest employment strategy for me OR my poor DH. Now I'm studying for the NY Bar exam so that I can hopefully find some work and make money that we will spend on diapers and baby furniture and no more tears!
Share one random thing about yourself: I lost 77 lbs before getting pregnant and the ONLY thing that bums me out about pregnancy (other than the ridiculously sore boobs) is that I had to quit weight watchers because I still have plenty more to lose!
