Quarter-Life Changes

A couple of weeks ago, I hinted that I would have some serious updates some time soon. Now is the time to deliver those updates!!! NOTE: The pictures have absolutely NOTHING to do with this post, but everyone likes to see baby pics! I'm using pictures from a "photo shoot" I shot for Naja's birth announcements.


The main update is that I have moved to the DC/MD/VA (aka DMV) area!!! As you may remember, my parents live in Northern VA, and living in the area increases my support network for Naja. This is really a blessing, my mom is a TREMENDOUS help. She even encourages me to get out the house by myself while she watches Naja.

With this move also comes...a new job!!! C'mon guys...I wouldn't leave a well-paid job and move to a new city with a new baby without another comparable offer in hand. That's why I didn't respond to some of the comments regarding returning back to work and daycare - my apologies but your answer is here today! My new job is in the sales/commercial field, with a company in the healthcare industry in DC. My first day is next Monday, 9/12!

Naja and I are staying with my parents for a bit, getting adjusted to everything. My mom has graciously offered to watch Naja during the day for a little bit. We're not sure exactly how long for now. I will most likely put her in daycare part-time when she starts moving around more. So, that's all for me - new city, new job, new baby...talk about quarter-life changes!

  13. Congrats! It's so great to have family to help you raise a child. We moved from Philly to MD for a job and to be close to my family. It's made a world of difference!
