Joining the PregTASTIC Cast...

It's great when two of your great loves come together. For me, the ability to incorporate my pregnancy into my professional life is a dream come true. That's what I'll be doing for the next five months (or so) as a host/panelist for the online radio show, PregTASTIC.

I originally learned about PregTASTIC about a year ago when I was doing some research online. At the time, my husband and I were trying to get pregnant, without much success. Still, I wanted to be prepared for motherhood the moment it happened.

And then it did.

Soon after, I began visiting the PregTASTIC website on a regular basis. That's when I learned the show was taped in San Diego, about 30 minutes from our house. I immediately emailed the show's producer. That was about two weeks ago... since then, I met with Royce (the producer) and we both decided I'd be a great addition to the PregTASTIC cast.

We taped my first episode last night, and I absolutely loved it. The whole experience was great. Meeting the other soon-to-be moms and learning about their ups and downs, it just made me feel... well, "normal". And the information from our show experts is really helpful. Most of us are first-time moms, so we're really starting out at square one. This show provides a great environment for asking whatever questions are on our minds, regardless of how silly they may seem. Odds are another mom-to-be has the exact same question.

PregTASTIC tapes every week, and I'm hoping to make it to most (if not all) of the sessions. Every episode is invaluable for new moms, and I feel very fortunate to be part of it.

UPDATE: In April, I was asked to fill-in as host of the show. Click here to listen to the episode.
