  • been a long time

    Hi everyone,
    Its been a long time since I've posted. After DH matched (in 2005) it has been a whirlwind. We moved to Oakland from Chicago for his intern year then hauled the cats to Maryland to start his Anesthesia residency at Hopkins.

    Meanwhile I had to go through looking for new teaching jobs every summer. Being in 4 schools in a 5 year period just looks bad on a resume... anyway, because I had to scramble every summer for a teaching position I always ended up in a really stressful school environment and becoming really depressed.

    Well this summer I finally had the perfect excuse not to go back to work. We had a beautiful baby boy in August and I decided to be a SAHM. And with DH's work schedule and my stressful job situation it was the best option and I couldn't be happier.

    Now that I'm at home I lurked back to this site, I realized how I've missed the wonderful support this group has been. This is even more evident now that I have a baby. I never knew how many questions I would have as a new mother and going to that parenting board so many have been answered! This site has always made me feel that I am not alone and I'm glad to be back.

                  Thanks for the welcomes! My little guy's name is Nathaniel Kieran. Actually he is not so little. He was 9 pounds 3 ounces when born and at almost 6 weeks he is over 12 pounds and very heavy!

                  I would share a picture but my files are too big and I don't know how to make them smaller. :huh:
