I am 30 and pregnant for the first time in my life; my husband and I can't wait! We recently moved back to my hometown of Rochester, NY and bought a house, after living in NYC and Germany together.
It feels good to be settled after 10 years of gallivanting around: we are in for a big change. From single, month to month rent, childless, and having money in our wallets to married, mortgage, pregnant, and broke.
Bring on the change.
