Hey Gals,

To anyone who actually finds this group....Welcome to Utah Valley Mommas! I started this group as I'm enduring the last few weeks of my first pregnancy and am quickly realizing how clueless I am! I'm also the first out of my group of girl friends to have a baby, so I've been feeling the need for mom-talk.

My most pressing question at the time is... how do you choose a good pediatrician? Let me know if you have any recommendations!

For a little info about me... I'm a 22 year old recent BYU graduate from the Recreation Management and Youth Leadership program. I come all the way from little Rhode Island and now live in Orem while my husband attends grad school at BYU. I love movies, home improvement shows, reading, learning everything about pregnancy and babies at the moment, family, and doing just about anything outdoors. I'm expecting a little boy in about 3 weeks! (hopefully at least!)

Let me know who you are!

Meg

  • My name is Melanie.

    My husband and I live in Provo with our 1 yr old son and are expecting a daughter in December. So excited!!! We are proctor parents *my job, persay* and my husband works for Teleperformance on the Dell project. I'm new to the SAHM thing and will need/want some adult interaction and an excuse to get out while letting my son interact with other little ones.

    Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

    Our pediatrician was trial and error...we'd originally stayed with our family doc that I had as a teen, my family goes to... But, he wouldn't believe me when son had an ear infection and my poor baby had to endure a weekend of pain before we could get a new pediatrican found that had an appointment! And though she could barely see anything...she said it could be headed for an ear infection and would go ahead and write us out a prescription. So...we go to Lone Peak Pediatrics and see the lady named Melanie (don't remember her title).

  • Hi Meg,

    I read that you teach piano lessons, I have a 6 year old daughter with high funtioning aspergers which is basically high funtioning autism. She loves music and the piano but I cannot seem to find anyone willing to give her a lesson. She has a hard time trying new things and I am afraid to sign a contract for lessons if I cannot get her through one, any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Shanda (Jaisha's mom)

  • Hello I know it has been forever since you first posted this but I use to live in Springville/Mapleton and of course Provo but my daughter went to a really great Pediatrician named Dr.Adams he is on State st in provo or Orem anyway I am moving back out there with my 3 kids 2 girls and a boy but i can't wait and most likely I will be a single mom once again my husband won't work and I am not raising a grown man so a little help with play groups would be really cool cause I am moving next summer and I don't want my kids to have to wait till the new school year to meet friends. So anything will help but I have time right now I will also be working at Walmart overnight shifts so any help finding good reliable childcare would be awesome my sister said she would watch them but she is young and likes to hang out with friends so I don't want to take that from her either

  • Hi I am Beckyand mom of 7 and grandma of 2 so I guess I am the oldest of the group. I live in Saratoga Springs and am waiting for my oldest son to return home from his mission in 17 days. He has been in Tuxtla Gutierrez Mexico, and I cannot wait to see him.  My two youngest children we adopted from China and so that has become our passion. We have formed a foundation to help orphans in China. Check my earlier post about Jon Peter Lewis in concert.

    I love being a mom and a grandma. Life is good.

  • Hi I'm Susan, I'm a mom of 2 boys. Lawrence who turned 2 October 13th and Logan who is 7 1/2 months. I used to be a SAHM but currently had to go back to work to help out with bills. I'm have been with my DH for 6 years on the 16th. Wow time has gone by fast. I love to meet moms in my area so if any one would like to have a play date with my boys and me, just send me a message, or if you just want to chat message me. =)

  • Hey all. I'm Karey and when in the world did I get to be 46 years-old? My husband is a coach at Brigham Young University, we have six children between us both and five of the cutest grandkids you've ever seen. We have a son on a mission in Southern France, which is cool, since we spoke French at home. He's actually getting to use it! We have a daughter at the University of Vermont. Family is all over the place and I work from home in a house that's very quiet without the sound of children. The journey of life is a slow, torturous pile of laundry and undone dishes and a roller coaster that whishes you along, all at the same time. How is that?

    Lots of love to my sistah's here!

    Karey

    P.S. I love to write, and my novel, Secret Speakers and the Search for Selador's Gate is about to be published! If you want to check out the big event, you can read about it here: http://www.SecretSpeakers.com. I feel amazingly blessed.I don't know if it's ok to make a separate post about that here on this group or not...
