My son Brady was born October 11, 2007 and I love him to pieces! I was an elementary school teacher but left my classroom at the end of the school year when I was 6 months pregnant so I could stay home with Brady. During the summer when I was pregnant, I babysat full time for a family from the school I taught at because they had lost their live-in nanny. It worked out so well that 6 weeks after Brady was born, I went back to taking care of the kids with Brady with me! I now spend all morning with Brady at home, pick up the kids (now 6 and   from school around 2:45pm, do snacks/homework, drive to activities, make them dinner, and then head home with Brady around 6:30pm. It's a lot of fun, the kids all love eachother, and I actually make more than I did teaching. It can get hectic, but I love it!  

Yes a very long 9 months.... Have you gotten your blood work yet? I have my first ultrasound on Sept 24th... I am so excited. My last pregnancy ended in JUne cause it was an ectopic. It was terminated at 6 weeks.
