What can I say? I was pregnant with #1 (a girl) and due on May 5, 2008 but she was born at 9:18 pm on April 18, 2008 at 6 pounds 2 ounces and 19 inches! I've been with my husband for nine and a half years and we've been married since 06/04/05.I just graduated with my Masters of Environmental Studies and I'm did my research at a national park setting up their water quality monitoring system. I'm now an Environmental Health Manager with the Military department for the state. That sounds pretty nerdy, doesn't it? Oh well! If you want to know anything (well, almost anything) about me, just ask!


To save some time, I am:
-A Democrat (for the most part)
-Pro-choice
-For stricter gun control
-For gay marriage and equal rights
-Very pro-breastfeeding
-not a co-sleeper
-vaccinating my daughter
-the devil's advocate on many occasions
-a peace-maker on more occasions
-a constant student and an avid reader
-still in the mindset of believing that most people are basically good (a little naive, I know)

Odd facts:
-Mangoes and Poison Oak and Poison Ivy belong to the same family, so if you are sensitive to poison oak or poison ivy, you can have a mouth rash after eating mango
-A turtle's sex is determined by the temperature of the substrate it's buried in, not by the parents
-The largest animal penis belongs to the largest animal: the blue whale with a penis length of 8 feet.
-Kelsey Grammar and David Hyde Pierce have played brothers in two shows: Frasier and Niles and "Frasier" and Side-Show Bob and Cecil in "The Simpsons"
-If you do an Google image search for "mucus plug", you'll find the pictures of several babygaga members (including myself)

I'm going to take the MCAT next summer after I finish up O-chem and it's still fresh.. OR I might just bite the bullet and go for physician assistant instead. Family is starting to become more important than my career at this stage.

Good luck to you!
