Peanut! I love to talk about Peanut! Well, first off, obviously, Peanut is not going to be the baby's name once it's born, but I was so sick to death of all the preggers women calling their babies "little beans" that I had to come up with something different. At the time of this interview, I'm now 24 weeks pregnant, or 6 months. I've been blessed with a relatively easy pregnancy; no morning sickness in the first trimester, and only discomfort and pain from too much bending over/crouching at work. The baby has been getting the green light of health the whole way through - we decided not to find out what we're having, so ultrasounds have just been to determine proper anatomy, sizing, placement, etc. All of Peanut's organs are in the right spot, and there are 10 fingers and 10 toes. Peanut is very active, and I constantly feel kicks, somersaults, and movement from him/her. I'm due November 21, of course, I will sharing pictures when the baby is born. | Peanut!

Meet our August Member of the Month...
Eirlys
aka
Jessica
How long have you been a member?
I've been a member on and off since 2003 I believe, so that makes this now 7 years. :look
What do you like the most about being a member?
Community, and finding a place where you fit in. It's why I joined in the first place, I couldn't find anyone locally who had the same interests, so I searched online for it.
Which forum is your favorite?
Besides the Gray Sisters forum? I think probably the Tailor's Guild forum. I'm not as active there as I would like to be sometimes, but again, it's about being with people who have the same interests as I do - knitting, crafting, etc.
Have you been to a real life event? Which is your favorite?
I have not. When they've been close, I haven't had the money or transportation, and when they've been far, well, they're too far. :P One day I shall though!
What do you do in real life?
Professionally, I'm a pharmacy technician. I assist pharmacists in preparing prescriptions, compounds, and running of the pharmacy. I help out patients also by showing them where products are, and I'm allowed to make recommendations as long as the product is not medicated (ie, recommending a neti pot for someone's nasal congestion instead of which cold medication to take). I also sell Avon and Mark products, and I'm in the process of trying to get down a full idea for a book proposal. Oh yes, and did I mention I'm 6 months pregnant with my first child, and have a 5 year old step-daughter? Yeah...I'm busy! lol
How are you “Gray” on the site and/or in real life?
You know, I've heard over and over again never to join an Ajah/Company for it's people, because that will change, but that's exactly what I did. I'm not terribly "Gray"... although I do try to place devil's advocate when I'm in a tough situation, but ultimately, I know I'm not very good at being partial, and I'm definitely not good at negotiating, or keeping the situation under control. :P
What are your hobbies aside from reading?
I'm an avid knitter, and have now branched out into knitwear design, I write (a lot), and I also do cross-stitch. I love to hike, ice skate, and garden, and I'm a fan of art journalling now too. I practice yoga, and I love to people watch at coffee shops and book stores.
What is a quote that you live by/defines you?
Up until a week ago, I wouldn't have been able to answer this, but I'm happy to say I recently heard the most perfect quote, and I won't ever forget it. "Always be yourself, because the people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter, don't mind." I don't know who said it, it was a status message on the Jane Austen fan group on Facebook. But I think it's beautiful, and totally true.
Care to tell us about Baby Peanut?
Peanut! I love to talk about Peanut! Well, first off, obviously, Peanut is not going to be the baby's name once it's born, but I was so sick to death of all the preggers women calling their babies "little beans" that I had to come up with something different. At the time of this interview, I'm now 24 weeks pregnant, or 6 months. I've been blessed with a relatively easy pregnancy; no morning sickness in the first trimester, and only discomfort and pain from too much bending over/crouching at work. The baby has been getting the green light of health the whole way through - we decided not to find out what we're having, so ultrasounds have just been to determine proper anatomy, sizing, placement, etc. All of Peanut's organs are in the right spot, and there are 10 fingers and 10 toes. Peanut is very active, and I constantly feel kicks, somersaults, and movement from him/her. I'm due November 21, of course, I will sharing pictures when the baby is born.
