Greetings from the NorCal Bay Area

Hi Everyone! I’m so thrilled to find these forums and all the great advice, insight and info it contains.

I have a 20m/o son and am pregnant with our 2nd child due in August. We found out today we’re having a GIRL Hooray! I’m a SAHM living in the Northern California East Bay Area. This is by far the best career I’ve ever had and was worth giving up the other one.

My son has been doing the Your Baby Can Read program since 1/1/09. It’s going really well. Recently I added in the math program - first using the doman cards and now using Little Math. He loves both, but reading is by far his favorite.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed that I started late or am not doing as much as other parents, but then I take a deep breath and realize I’m still giving him a wonderful gift and spending some wonderful time together as well.

See you on the boards!!
Susan

Hi there- I miss the bay area- born and raised there but have since migrated south. Sounds like you’re doing great and congrats on your second.
