Alexis Schulman

My name is Alexis Schulman and I’m a born and raised Jersey shore girl. I grew up 5 minutes from the beach, so bare feet and a sand filled jeep were always the normal for me. Living in such a diverse place constantly awarded me the opportunity to explore almost any activity I was interested in. These ranged from simply lounging in the sun at the beach to rock climbing in northern New Jersey to eating my way through New York City. I always considered my life complete because I was blessed with a great family, the two best friends a girl could ever have and an amazing career as a forester. Then I met my now husband Jason. Our parents were best friends for years, but Jason and I never met. He moved to California the year before we met and I was busy going to college and traveling everywhere I could. When I came back from Europe in June of 2008, I finally met the man of my dreams on his birthday. After traveling to California to see him almost twice every month, he moved back to New Jersey that November to start a life with me. In March 2009, Jason and his little brother decided to join the Marine Corps and that May they were both off to boot camp. After graduation, we were engaged to be married, and because of the unpredictable nature of the military, we decided to get married during Christmas leave on December 27th. Our ceremony was tiny, consisting of our closest family and friends in Atlantic City, NJ. I couldn’t ask for a more gorgeous day. This August, I decided to leave Rutgers University when Jason was stationed here in Jacksonville. A week after we moved here, we found out that we were pregnant! Now here we are, transitioning into the 2nd trimester with our first sonogram on October 29th, due on Mother’s Day 2011 and loving every single decision we’ve made that landed us here. I look forward to sharing our fairytale and perhaps helping others and learning from them too.

My name is Erin and I'm 32 years-old and almost 15 weeks pregnant with my fist child. I grew up in California and attended the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. After practicing on horses for almost 5 years, I met and married my husband who is a Marine. He got stationed at Cherry Point which led to our move to North Carolina. Our current "baby" is a 95 pound Weimaraner named "Axel" who keeps me busy. I currently enjoy reading, watching movies, and sleeping. I've been feeling pretty good for the first part of this pregnancy but always feel like I could fall asleep at any moment. We can't wait to find out what we are having in the next few weeks and to start planning the nursery. This is an exciting time and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and feelings with you.
