Name: Rachel
Due Date: 1/4
Age: 31
Hobbies: I claim tennis, but it's been a while since I played
Activities with our dog, reading, cooking, diy/decorating, stationery/graphic design/anything paper related.
Background: User experience designer by day, occasional letterpress printing and graphic design for friends' weddings, etc. in my spare time. My husband is a recent law school grad who is still job hunting, which makes him cranky...so our combination of moodiness probably isn't good at the moment! This is our first baby, though we have a very active young dog and 2 cats. We've been married 4 years in November, we met in college and have been together 10 years total. We had a blighted ovum at 10 weeks in February, but everything has gone swimmingly so far this time and at our NT scan we saw quite the little partier in there using my uterus as a trampoline.
Suggestions for Group Name: I'm also pretty agreeable, I like the New Years Babies, or someone said something about Ball Drop? Ball Drop Babies?
