@Silva: hi:) I did clinical/ general SW and I've only ever worked in an after school program for child and famil services. So, I worked through the school district. It was a part time gig and I needed something for the experience yet something that was temporary because I was getting pregnant and I knew I wanted to be a SAHM mom. You?

Not really a "vet" but I've been pretty active on here since I joined so I'd feel dumb posting an intro all by myself. lol

Age: 32 until July...meh.
Reside: Switzerland. A little town called Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne. It's about 40 minutes from Geneva. I was born in a Philly suburb in NJ, and grew up on the Naval Base in Cuba.
Marital Status: Married 2 1/2 years. We were together in college, broke up, met back up 6 years later, and 6 months later we were engaged. (To put it in a nutshell.)
Occupation: I started my own pet care business here. I walk dogs and board them in our home. Although since getting my BFP I've cut my walking down from 2-3 hours a day to 1-1.5, at the suggestion of my TCM specialist, who is also DH's Aunt. Currently "babysitting" 2 Akitas who are some of the best dogs I've ever met! (One of them is currently "sleep-barking" lol)
Status: 6 weeks pregnant after a m/c a year ago.
Hobbies: being lazy. Seriously I think I have a problem. When I get the energy/motivation I like to craft, bake, cook, read, and try to learn my DSLR. And of course go online way too much
I don't have any cute LO's to share a picture of, but I can share one of my cute DH! Heh heh
(Christmas time in Cuba, me doing the aforementioned trying to learn my DSLR.)

@TurtleDoves: I've worked mostly in the field of violence against women, both with victims and perpetrators. Right now (and for the past two years) I've moved into substance abuse work with young women. I am pretty interested in social work with mandated clients- dept. of corrections stuff. I have actually really enjoyed working with male perpetrators of violence in the past. I'm definitely more interested in the clinical side of things. When my kids are older I may go for my PhD in psych.

@tororojo: I am so jealous! We are no where near sleeping through the night.
-
@Smurfette: a friend gave us a Miracle Blanket last week and it revolutionzed LO's sleep! If you haven't tried it, I reeeeeally recommend it! She started sleeping longer and going down way easier immediately.

@tororojo: Yeah we have one. Used it last night too and she was up almost every hour.

Age: 27
Reside: Seattle
Occupation: SAHM by day/law student by night
Marital status: married 3 years this month
LO: X-- born Nov 2011, still negotiating on when to start trying for #2
Most recent milestone (pregnancy, parenting or personal): X started using 2 words and 2 sign combinations last week. He signed "Water, please" (wanting me to turn the bathtub water faucet on-- I can't believe he connected the stuff in his sippy cup to the stuff in the bathtub; I certainly haven't made any effort or have any memory of calling it water.) And today he told me: "Mama. Dad-dad work." (Telling me that Dad is at work.) It blows my mind that he's picking up on things and demonstrating his knowledge so quickly now.
Personal Hobbies: When I have time/on school breaks-- reading, cooking, baking, sprint distance triathlons. Working on our house (it's a work in progress). Also, does Hellobee count as a hobby? -

-
@mrs. 64: No way! There are a few NoVa & DC bees, but I haven't found any in HR yet! We're neighbors. I'm in Chesapeake!
-
@red_seattle: I think it does, especially when it serves as a break from work!

HI everyone. I think i count as a Veteren even though i used to post a lot more before my son was born and it was mostly on weddingbee though more on here now.
Age: 35 (36 june 8)
Reside: Portland Oregon
Occupation:SAHM
Status: Mom to a 7 and a half month old boy named Tor
Most recent milestone (pregnancy, parenting or personal): We have had a BUNCH. Tor is a super early kid with physical milestones. he started sitting himself up and trying to crawl at 6 months, crawled at 6 and a half months, at 7 months he started puling up to standing, he now can stand unassisted for a few seconds and he can cruise along tables and our couch. i am EXHAUSTED!!! didnt expect it so soon.
Personal Hobbies: i love to read and learn about politics, economics, other countries and philanthopy related subjects. i am big into helping this world be a place where poverty ends and humanity and human rights prevail. i am also big into environmental causes. people who hate my kind would probably call me a left wing liberal, which is fine by me but i am not really so simple. fiscally i can be somewhat conservative but i do believe the answer doesnt lie in making the poor and disadvantaged suffer. i think very globally. i also enjoy singing, boxing, kick boxing and mostly spending time with my hubs and my sweet baby boy. -
@Running Elley: CONGRATS on baby #2!!!!!! ahhhhhh

Marital Status: married since 2010, together since 2006.
Status: momma to 10 month old, NO plans for #2 (we're most likely 1 and done and both happy with that)
Milestones: 2 days before 10 months LO started crawling - woot woot!! She is now crawling all over the place *and* pulling up anywhere she can. It's like it all came together for her, at once. We just completed 6 airplane flights, and she only cried on 1 of them
Personal hobbies: I make 1/12 scale artisan quality miniature food out of polymer clay for dollhouse collectors, I recreate meals described in novels. I also love to travel and have several novels in progress.
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Umm...it's not as wonderful as I expected it to be. It's beautiful here but we can't go out and do all of the "touristy" things because we can't afford it along with our normal expenses. It's definitely not the same as coming here on vacation. Ya know?
-
@Sweet T: aw :o/ I was only there once. My friend was there living with her fiance who was stationed there. I came for their wedding. He was getting transferred to Utah and they wanted to do the wedding in HI before they left. They are huge outdoor people so they were always hiking, biking, surfing, sailing and more!
I grew up in Gtmo so I know what that's like, moving away from your home. But eventually Gtmo became my home! The only thing we had there was the NEX and McDonalds, lol.
I know HI is different. If my dad were to get stationed there, they wouldn't pay his relocation! I forget why but I know the "rules" are strange.
You can always vent to me! Switzerland isn't the magical place many people think it is, lol!
