ETS: kathis peanut should be born on my first anniversary

Erica:

That's one of the first things I thought of when my OB said Monday - I was like - hmmm, the 14th, what is happening that day!?

I tried for JennRenee's anniversary on the 6th, but Peanut wasn't budgin'!!

I had so much fun reading all this!!!

Okie dokie here's my scoop:

Me: Debbie (aka Bearsbabe)

DH: Joe (aka Bear hence the babe part , although I don't call him Bear, I call him Baby -- sometimes he's Buddy or Pally, depending on what he did wrong LOL)

Married: 10/6/01 -- almost 2 years, boy time just flies when you're having fun

Honeymoon: 10 glorious days in Aruba (the hard part was getting DH on the plane after 9/11 -- haven't gotten the big wuss on a plane since!!!)

Age: me 38 (gulp is right )
DH 35 (gotta love those younger men LOL)

Where We Live: Maspeth, Queens in the house DH grew up in. I grew up in Astoria/JH area (around the block from LaGuardia airport). Will look for a house in a year or two -- maybe border Queens/Nassau (sorry JennRenee )

Occupation: I work as a Legal Secretary for a major entertainment company (with MichelleW). DH is a Machine Operator in the corrugated paper field (no clue, all I know is he comes home filthy, smelly and greasy) LOL!!!!

How We Met: Walking down the street at the San Gennaro Feast on 9/18/99.

Currently 31 weeks preggo with our Little Bear Cub -- estimated due date 9/9/03, although DH is telling everyone 9/11 (Jen, maybe on Patrick's b'day), although I'm hoping or makes his/her appearance on 9/18 which would be the 5th anniversary of the day we met! (How corny, right! )

As for pictures, I have a few (yes Shamma, go ahead and yell) posted somewhere, but since I don't own a computer or a scanner for that matter, I'm a big slacker in the picture department!!!
One day I'll post my infamous billboard picture!

Gotta say one more thing or maybe two: first, I've met some very nice and lovely girls on here and I'm very honored to call them my friends!! I've gotten many kind words of support and encouragement from you all and you are the first thing I go to in the morning when I get to work!!!

Second, I'm known as the other half of the Tangent Tag Team!! I'm proud to say my other half is Anna!!!

LIZ: I didn't know you lived in the Bronx!!! I'm moving there soon. What part do you live in? I'm moving to Woodlawn.

VICKIC: Yes, I LOVE being a medical transcriptionist. There's nothing like wearing your PJs to work. It can be isolating, though, and you get lonely sometimes...

STEF28: We went to Newport for part of our HM, too! We stayed at a fancy B&B called The Cliffside Inn. Did you do the mansion tours? They were so cool.

JENNRENEE: My hubby took the LT test too, but thinks he flunked. It was given the day before our wedding, so it really screwed him up.

Karen
