Laura Waller

My name is Laura Waller and I attended Appalachian State University. After college I moved to Washington DC where I taught Kindergarten. The best part of my time in DC was meeting my wonderful husband Jacob. After enjoying all the excitement of DC, we moved back to Eastern North Carolina, where I continued teaching. After trying for a while to get pregnant and meeting with infertility doctors, we welcomed our first child, Elliana, into the world. Elliana means “my God has answered” and she certainly is our answered prayer. We decided that I would stay home to be with Elli full time. When Elli turned one year old, I decided to cheat a little on the “stay at home” gig and take a part time job working with refugee families in the school systems. That job will end in the Spring of 2012 and, as timing would have it, our second baby is due in May. At this point in time, my days are consumed with keeping up with Elli (which is harder than it sounds), working, trying to find exciting activities around Eastern NC for our family to experience, an occasional work out, and honestly - an occasional nap. I know things are certainly going to change in our house and in some ways that makes me a bit nervous so I am always excited to get advice from experienced moms!

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.
