Hello all, I'm 29 and from NY.  I just had my first child in February 8, 2008.  He's a beautiful little boy.  I guess technically I'm a single mom, I'm not married but me and my boyfriend Paul have been together 5 years now.  I love animals and have a house full of pets - all rescues.  I do volunteer animal rescue and rehab out of my home, here is my rescue page if anyone is interested in checking it out:  http://www.myspace.com/the_pet_expert  I have also set up a little baby webpage to keep everyone updated on the baby.  Here's the addy for my baby page:  http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/m/my_little_angel  (Make sure to sign the guest book!!!) 

I am currently working as a Pet Nutrition Specialist and Certified Trainer (although I am on maternity leave at the moment), I'm also a licensed EMT - Paramedic/First Responder and have an Associate's Degree in Biomedical Labratory Technology.  I am also finishing my double Bachelor's Degrees from Kaplan University for Forensic Psychology and Terrorism & National Security Management (although I'm currently taking a brief hiatus until after the baby is born).  So I have a very varied background.

I hope to make some friends here with other moms and moms-to-be and share some stories and advice because this is all new to me.  :)
