About Me:

Pregnant with my first child at 35. Only been married for 6 days! Work in fundraising at a local university and teach yoga on the side. Somedays I still cannot believe how big my belly is!

What's something about your kid(s) that makes you happy?

When he kicks and moves and reminds me that we are together in all of this. I love him. Even when he sits on my bladder, he is my favorite human.

What's your most recent kid-related public humiliation?

This is my four-legged kid story. I went to a prenatal yoga class for the first time two weeks ago. As I was sitting and stretching I noticed that the crotch of my yoga pants had been eaten out by my dogs. So I had to excuse myself and show the group of women the hole in my crotch. I may go back to the class.

What about contemporary parenting culture pisses you off the most?

The need to super size everything! Big birthday parties, pictures every month.

Who were you BEFORE you became a parent?

I guess I was more self absorbed and sort of plan on letting go of more of that as time goes on. I'll keep you posted on the before and after when the boy arrives.

What are you nerdy about?

The minor details on LOST and King of the Hill.

Favorite music/books/TV/movies:

Currently reading Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year. Glad I'm not alone.
Love LOST, King of the Hill, So You Think You Can Dance. Currently, enjoying some country music by Willie Nelson, Donna Fargo and Patsty Cline.

OPTIONAL: Do you have a sex life?

Technically yes, but honestly both sex and life can be so subjective.
