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 Sarah and I am your new Tummy Time blogger! My husband and I are from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania yet we met while attending the University of South Carolina. It was a long way to go to meet when we grew up about fifteen minutes from one another. I played volleyball for the university and upon graduation moved to Austria to play professionally. After a year of professional volleyball in Europe, I came home to plan my wedding. We married in the fall of 2007 and a week after moved to Jacksonville and have been here ever since. I have a 15 month old son, Michael, and one on the way. I am most excited for Michael to have a sibling and to see the similarities and differences between them. It always amazes me to see siblings who look so much alike but are completely opposite in every other regard, and vice versa. Before the news of our baby, we added a new member to our family, Peaches our Pomeranian. Until Baby Boyle arrives, Peaches will serve as a great play buddy for Michael. My husband and I want a big family so news of another one on the way was warmly welcomed. I am excited to compare my pregnancies and share my experiences with you.
