The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

My "real" name is Kristen, but I pretty much only my husband calls me that, everyone else calls me Krissy. I used to hate it, but I've come to embrace the nickname ;-)
Right now my immediate family consistents of my husband, Scott and our dog Sandy. August of this year marks our 7th anniversary. Not bad for a marriage that wasn't supposed to last for even a year.
In February we learned some extremely exciting news: We're going to be parents!! I can barely believe after all the heartache that it took us to get here that it's real, but it is! Andrew Scott Catalano was born on November 8, 2008 at 8:04 pm weighing in at 6 lb 3 oz and 20 inches long. His APGARs were 8 & 9.
I officially am a stay-at-home mom now and I am loving every minute. Especially when these nice little snowstorms happen and I get to stay in my cozy warm house rather than venture out into the blustery cold. I also plan to use the time to pursue my true passions and exploring my more creative talents through various crafts and writing.
ESFJ
"Seller". Most sociable of all types. Outstanding host or hostesses. They may be dependent, first on parents and later on spouses. They excel in service occupations involving personal contact. 13% of the total population.
The social status of successful people can be quite alluring to ESFJs and many marry prosperous mates and encourage them to accumulate the material signs of prosperity. Other ESFJs seem to fit in with the poor and the needy. In either case their dependability, dedication, and commitment to providing for the needs of others is, at times, overlooked. This can lead to the ESFJ feeling unappreciated and neglected. They can harbor uncomfortable feelings, which they then feel guilty and shameful about, and then they find themselves suffering from emotional denial.
Who I'd like to meet: Old friends and make new friends... kind of like that song we used to sing in Girl Scouts.
Yeah, you get to that point, epecially in the last few weeks. With Braeden my pg was the best, but I just wanted to meet him, and be able to hold him, and kiss him :)
