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 eight and a half years and we've been married since 06/04/05. I'm in graduate school doing my Masters of Environmental Studies and I'm doing my research at a national park setting up their water quality monitoring system. I'm trying to save the world one stream and river at a time. 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)
