Background: Married 2.5 years, used to work in TV news but left because I wasn't willing to sacrifice the time I get to spend with my family. I now work in an office and will be a stay-at-home mom when baby gets here. This is my first pregnancy, and we were blessed to get pregnant on the first try!

Age: 26
Hobbies: currently my only hobby is moving and wedding planning... both will be changing SOON!
Background: FI and I are getting married in THREE days- he is the love of my life and I couldnt be happier or more excited! This is our first child together, but I have a 4 year old son from a previous relationship. He is such an amazing kid. FI is daddy to him and treats him like his own. We were planning on "trying" as soon as we got married but we got a suprise in May when we found out we were pregnant. It worked out pretty well considering I am not showing yet, and I am FINALLY starting to feel better. We heard the heart beat for the first time last night- which made it really sink in! We cant wait to tell Carter and our families after the honeymoon!
Suggestions for Group Name: I love the idea of "New Years Snowbabies" or something like that!
Wow, your wedding is SOON! Congratulations!! Are you guys going to be able to honeymoon at all?
Yes- it is FINALLY almost here! Today is my last day of work. So excited! We are going live in Minnesota and will be going up north to a resort next Monday-Friday. It should be really relaxing and fun! I am excited for some time off.
Thank you!! You are so sweet!

I have taught kindergarten for 5 years in our home town.
