My name is Candy and this is my pregnancy story......Well it all began in 1995 when I met my husband Jay! He is a GREAT guy, a great dad and I love him dearly. We met through a mutual friend and soon started dating. We moved from MN to AZ at the end of 95 and found out we were pregnant with our daughter. She was born May of 1996. We decided then that we did not want any more children, unfortuately we never made any permanent changes to our bodies to accomidate that decision!! Whoops!! My DH has a son from a previous marriage too! (he will be 15 in Oct!!)

So Jay and I married in 2000 (yep, it had to be a millenium wedding!) And have been together since. I was very young when I had our daughter and viewed it as a "surprise" and thats what she has been told. However, I have always felt that I dealt her a dirty hand by having her so young! I was barely 19 when she was born! So I was a very young, ignorant, pregnant woman, who had NO clue what I was in for! I had developed many complications in the last trimester of my pregnancy with her. I was anemic, had low amneotic fluid, and was boardering on having gestational diabetes, not to mention that I was carrying her all out front and she was frank breech! What a big ball of mess I was!!

I think all those previous complications have had an huge effect on my views of this pregnancy, and not too positively either! But I am getting more and more used to the idea that I am having another child and this one seems to be different all together! I don't "feel" pregnant and have been sick very little, so that is a start to making this a positive experience. Hopefully, this time (being that I am a lot older now), I can handle the stress and changes in my body a bit better!!

With all that being said, onward I march into motherhood again!!

Hoped for a Boy and got a GIRL!!!

We'll love HER regardless!!
