I could have posted this myself. I have had 2 babies. Both pregnancies I had a very difficult time gaining weight - gained under 10 pounds with both. For the first month of breastfeeding I ended up well below my pre-pregnancy weight. Then the weight starts packing on. I gained about 25 pounds while breastfeeding with my…

My daughter had terrible reflux, so she had to sleep at an incline. We found a bouncer sleeper that was great, but I wanted to be near her while she slept in it, so she slept in our room until about 6 months.

Yay - I love math :) I taught various middle and high school math classes for the last 10 years and it was a blast! I kind of miss it now that I'm a stay at home mom. I was a computer science major in college though.

I'm totally a nerd too! Love so much of what people have already listed - huge Dr. Who, Torchwood, HP, anything Joss Whedon fan just to name a few things. My little brother wasn't even a Dr. Who fan and ended up rooming with one of the cast members. I was soooo jealous!
