... I'm intrigued!
I could geek out about it for hours! Ha! And I'd probably need a whiteboard and some colored markers to explain it all (because, ironically, I also identify as a single mom!), but sufficed to say, it's just so very much who I am.
And Baby is really, really lucky to have such wonderful people who already care so much about him. Though it will give him a crazy big extended family!
That is really cool!!!! And yep he is very lucky to have so many to look after him!
If you don't mind me asking, is just one "dad"?
Yes! And though we don't live together (I'm just not a co-habitating kind of girl at this point!), he's very much a presence in my life and will likewise be in Baby's. We're looking for good words for the other SO's - in my will they're written in as something like a godparents, but of course that's not a practical everyday title for someone. We know we're in somewhat unchartered territory, I'm sure there will be adjustments made along the way.

MH and I own a fine lumber yard and custom carpentry business that we bought from his parents. I run the business/sales side, he runs the custom shop. Prior to this I was a corporate retail buyer.
Something interesting about myself is that I am big into networking groups, specifically women's networking groups. Since I work in a male dominated field I always feel the need to reach out to other business minded women.
And a little something to share is that MH and I have know each other my entire life. He was actually at the hospital when I was born. But we didn't get together until after I moved back to my home town from college, so I still got to sow all my oats.

What is something unique or interesting about you? / Anything else you want to share?
Lessi. I'm a Quaker. And no, no relation to the Shakers. Except we rhyme.
I'm obsessed with reading the classics. I've probably read Dante's Divine Comedy three times in different translations because I lurve it so much. Right now I'm reading Ovid.
I'm a wicked good cook and like to show it off. I'm hosting Christmas dinner this year and might make souffle just for the AW factor.
I play the Irish fiddle reasonably well. While in nursing school I made my pocket money by busking (playing in public with my fiddle case open in front of me. On a good day I could make as much as $20/hour, but I never had the stamina for more than two hours a day!)
I write poetry and am trying to gather my courage this winter to submit it to a lit journal.
Aaaaaand I've run four half-marathons, slowly, with a PR of 2:08.....had to stop running with this pregnancy because of ligament pain, but swimming instead and now thinking about trying a Triathlon when I'm done with this! (@novelblessings, I'll take any advice you can give!)
