January 2014 Moms

A Quick Hello!

Hi ladies,
I wanted to introduce myself (I noticed other moms doing it and I apologize for being so late to the game!) and say hello. I am due around January 24th, possibly closer to the February side, with a little boy named Ethan Karl (Karl was my dad's name. He passed away in May this year after battling AML). I am so thrilled to be a mom, especially because it took me some time to wrap my head around the pregnancy and get comfortable talking about it with people (my husband and I lost our first last September). I am a Kindergarten teacher, which I love, but it requires a lot of shoe tying, which is not so fun lately ;). I am also blessed to be an aunt to the cutest niece in the whole world (I'm biased!!!) who was born back in July. Something that I have really enjoyed during my pregnancy is that two of my best friends are expecting in March, so it has been fun to look forward to all the play dates coming up :).

Again, I am sorry I am so late to introduce myself! I have enjoyed learning from all of you and I hope I can contribute something here and there! Best wishes to you all these last couple of weeks!

-Beth

Re: A Quick Hello!

  • Welcome! Glad you introduced yourself and joined us. So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. And also about your prior loss last September. I'm due with a girl Jan 25th, so pretty close to you.

    Oh and i don't even know how you are tying other people's shoes. I can barely be held responsible for my own these days! And I most certainly have the cutest nephew in the world so I understand where you are coming from on that part too. :)

  • Welcome :)

    Sorry for the loss of your father. I think it's neat you're honoring him in your son's name.

  • mj0413 I'm now interested to watch that movie in your siggy. Never heard of it! I did however laugh at the title of it compared to the fact that we are discussing your 3 possible due dates. ;)

  • @bandbgrams I LOVE your son's name and that you're honoring your father with his middle name. We went with a family name for our little boy's middle name, also, and it feels very special. So sorry about your prior losses. I'm sure this baby will be such a blessing to your family! 

    Also, you're a superhero for teaching kindergarten this close to your due date! I teach high school, which is so much less physically demanding, and I'm STILL exhausted at the end of every day! :)

    Thanks for sharing a little about yourself! Nice to meet you!
