1. Where do you live? Be as vague or as specific as you'd like. NYC suburbs 2. Do you work or SAH? Will that change after this baby? I work f/t and hate it. I don't think I will be able to stay home unless we win the lottery or something. I don't know how the heck we're going to work it out w/r/t drop-offs and pick-ups, but I'm putting off that problem until later. 3. Do you have any pets? Bonus points for pictures! 2 cats, Ferdinand (brown) and Thumbelina (grey with thumbs). DH and I were caretaking a neighborhood feral cat colony and we took in their mom and litter to socialize them. Their littermates are with 2 of our friends. We got everyone spayed/neutered. We lost Kittyman (cow cat) last December. He was a stray we started feeding at our first apartment together. {deleted pic}
4. What are you reading right now? Future Home of the Living God, by Louise Erdrich. Maybe kind of a weird book to read while pregnant (dystopian future where evolution is going backwards and pregnant women are being rounded up and detained). I love Louise Erdrich but I'm kind of having trouble with the main character/narrator. She is mildly irritating to me.

1. Where do you live? Be as vague or as specific as you'd like. Phoenix, AZ 2. Do you work or SAH? Will that change after this baby? SAH. I quit my job shortly after I got pregnant, since I had to move, and we budgeted it so that I didn't have to go back. I was starting to apply to jobs a few months back, but now I'm pregnant again so going to stay home a few years more, hopefully at least until DD is in school. Then, I'll try to go back. I was a civil (environmental) engineer. 3. Do you have any pets? Bonus points for pictures! My American Eskimo, Cairo who's 12 now, and Riley, a stray that adopted me who's almost 9. I've had them both since they were babies. 4. What are you reading right now? Nothing, actually. I need to find something good. I've been writing a lot. My hobby is writing fanfic lol. <-- nerd.

-Missouri - I work part-time. I’m a lawyer. I stay at home with DD two days a week. Probably won’t change after the baby is born. I don’t plan to work full/time again. -one dog, a Bichon names chloe. Our other bichon emma (Chloe’s Mom) recently passed on. My daughter still asks for ‘ma” and it’s very sweet. -the secret keeper by Kaye Morton. The main character is annoying me slightly which seems to happen a lot lately!
Love the cute pet pics!

1. Where do you live? Be as vague or as specific as you'd like. Northern Virginia
2. Do you work or SAH? Will that change after this baby? I've been a SAHM since my third was born (5 years ago next month!) since my salary wouldn't cover three kids in daycare; since childcare costs would continue to be an issue, I'm waiting to go back to work until all the kids are in school full-time.
3. Do you have any pets? Nope, I've got enough people to clean up after, there's no way I'm taking on animals as well.
4. What are you reading right now? I am constantly reading, and right now I'm finishing a romantic series revolving around three sisters, but next I'm going to read a new crime thriller by Brett Battles, an author I really enjoy.

tarheelmom, I am so impressed by your book a week habit. I think I’m going to try to set some reading goals in 2018 because I’ve let staring at my phone take up a lot of the time I used to spend reading.
