Here it goes...

Day 1:
    I figure I will just do an introduction today.  Just a little background information so we are all on the same page.
    My daughter was born in 2005 when I was only 19 yrs of age.  I had to grow up VERY fast and it was extremely hard to finish college, especially when I had a full basketball scholarship that was never re-newed.  I missed out on a lot, emotionally, during my pregnancy and my daughters early years.  It just wasn't the same as someone who had got pregnant while married.  I met my husband in June of 2006.  He quickly stepped in as Skyler's father without any prompting.  He wanted to be there for her emotionally and physically, but he especially wanted to protect her and support her(He ende up adopting her January of 2010).  He fell in love with both of us, as we did him.  In September of 2008, we were married in front of all our friends and family.  We couldn't have been happier.  On Christmas morning, 2008, I found out I was pregnant.  We quickly shared it with all of our friend and family at Christmas dinner.  That was a mistake, completely, because 5 days later I miscarried our first child together.  I was devastated and my heart was shattered into a million pieces.  We continued to try to another pregnancy, but was unable to concieve until August of 2009.  I carried our little one in my belly until 38 1/2 weeks and in April 2010 we quickly fell in love with our newly born baby boy, Anthony, who we call "Tony".  We now are the proud parents of two beautiful children(5yrs & 7 months), but he desire for a third is great!  When Tony is out of diapers, we plan to try for another baby, which will be my last.  My body just can't handle any more pregnancy.  With the early birth of my daughter at 36 weeks (I had a weak cervix and was on bedrest 1cm dilated at 24 1/2 weeks) and the complications after my c-section with Tony (I bled-out and had to be rushed back to the OR for a DNC and had to have 2 blood transfusions), after my next pregnancy, I will be getting my tubes tied.
    I created this blog because I feel the need to share my experiences as a mother with everyone.  Not all of our experiences are the same, but it's good to know that someone out there is going through the same thing as me.  Looking forward to an amazing year!(and more...)
