Hi M15!
I mostly lurked and occasionally posted at TB--I'm totally new to proboards.
Anyway, I'm due March 26th with my first baby (a boy). I'm currently in the NE, although I'm dying to get back home to the PNW. My H and I both work in the medical field and for fun we mostly hike with our dog, play boardgames, and read fantasy books.
My pregnancy has been pretty standard except that I experienced prenatal depression in my first & second trimesters--which really took me by surprise. I've been meeting with my midwife on a regular basis just to check in with how my mood is and how I'm feeling. Last week she gave me this really great checklist that my H and I went through together. Even though some of the talking points are geared towards past experiences with PPD, I still found this extremely helpful. It's called the postpartum pact and can be found in the link below:

Good luck to everyone as our due dates get closer!
