Re: Welcome to Week 15! Intros...
Hi all!!
Screen name: Maggsygerl76
Due date: Dec 29th unofficially
What I do? I work in the community as a Personal Support Worker and I'm also working in a specialized program for Alzheimer's/Dementia Respite Care
How I met my SO: We met through Harmony an online dating service you might have heard of
Fur Baby? Ok this I hope means my pet..I have a gorgeous black short hair cat named Belak
Loves: Spending time with SO camping, hiking, hangin out. I love to read all sorts of books and play with my Belak. I love swimming and yoga as well.
Hates: That's tough, the usual I suppose horrible people, violence and arrogance
Biggest Cravings: I was really enjoying strawberry Milkshakes during 1st trimester, but that has passed. I really love eggs and jujubes (not together LOL)
Favourite Book: okay this might be obvious to some but for pregnancy books I'm really enjoying the Mayo Clinic Guide to Pregnancy. For other books for fiction I love to read so I really don't have a favourite, but I have to say the book that has stayed with me the longest and I think about ..well there's a few: The Red Tent, and The Book of Negroes, and Water for Elephants. For a light read I love Sophie Kinsella, for a mysterious mood I read either Kathy Reichs or Michael Connely.
How long I've been on TB: Well I knew about TB from using the Knot last year. I have been using TB since since I knew I was pregnant around 6 weeks
Something interesting about me: that's relative but I'm ambidextrous so I'm hoping that will come in handy with Baby
lol
How I like my potatoes: Garlic Mashed all the way!! unless you consider McDonalds french fry LOL
How you met your SO: I met my love at my very first fraternity party at Texas Tech University.He was the first guy that came up to me and he swept me off my feet and I never looked at an other guy after meeting him
Fur babies: no fur babies yet but after this next little person we are going to get a puppy!
Loves: I love to sing, I love my family, I love coffee (and I miss it!) and I love to organize and keep fit with zumba!
Hates: Hates....... bad drivers and waiting for anything! Im a product of my generation in that I expect everything to be immediate, no commercials for me!
Biggest pregnancy cravings so far: sleep! ha I have been too sick to crave anything yet but Im sure that will change soon. With my son I wanted breakfast cereal and fruit!Favorite book: The Hunger Games trilogy! Team Peeta!I've been on TB since...: 2008 when I was preggo with my son but I made a new account this may for this pregancySomething interesting about yourself: I have extremely accurate intuition about people. Its borderline psychic!
How I like my potatoes: scalloped and covered with cheese
Due date: January 9th (although Dr wants to schedule another c-section week earlier which would put the due date at Jan 4th- which is the same day my current son will turn 3!)
What you do: I currently am an administrative assistant which provides good pay and flexible hours. Hopefully once both kids are in school I will be able to pursue the other fields that I am more interested in (holistic nutrition and alternative medicine)
How you met your SO: At a bar.
Fur babies: 1 boston terrier
Loves: travelling, good food, great friends
Hates: arrogant and judgemental people
Biggest pregnancy cravings so far: ah, with my son it was easy, apple pie and mac n cheese, this time it changes on the week. Luckily now as long as I'm not getting too hungry I'll crave a really good salad... Oddest one was pecan pie since I've only had it once before.
Favorite book: Loved the Hunger games trilogy and the 50 shades series. Haven't had much time to look into new ones. Have picked up a few and really haven't gotten hooked.
I've been on TB since...: hmm not sure the exact date, but it was probably about May/June 2009, shortly after I found out I was pregnant with my son.
Something interesting about yourself: Oh gosh... well I have 2 science degrees and would love to be a holistic nutritionist, however, I am not always great at following my own advice. I managed to finish up my second degree while pregnant and working full time and planning a wedding. Shortly after also found a house and a car and now pregnant with #2, so guess I would say I crave havoc (although always considered myself a low key, lax person).
How I like my potatoes: well, I'd have to agree with the first post here when it comes to the garlic! I love tons (don't think you can really have too much garlic- especially roasted or sauteed with onion) of garlic and the potatoes smashed, I like them still slightly chunky with pepper. (And now there's my craving for the day...)
