Hello,

So I figured I would tell you a little about me. This is kinda long and I appologize in advance. Hope you find this interesting :)

I had my 1st baby when I was 16, her father and I split up because it was too hard and we were scared. My mom moved me to San Diego CA (we left Oregon) to get away from the area. I had my daughter (Natalie)in October of 98'. Looking back I wouldn't change anything, I love my daughter & she is one of the best things that has happened to me. Well the only thing I would change would be the age that I had her, but I would still want her just later on :)

May of 01' my loving mother past away (I was 18). This is one of the hardest things that has ever happened to me. At this point Natalie's father had yet to see her & we hadn't talked since the day I left Oregon. The day my mother past away I called his mother and of course he answered the phone (Just my luck). But to my suprise he was very nice & concerned. That night his friends and him came up with some money to fly his mom down to help me. (Boy did I need it)

In June of 01' I came up to Oregon to visit my grandparents & my dad. Do to what had happened some sense was knocked into my daughter's father & he realized that tomorrow was not a guarantee to any of us so he decided to see his daughter. This was very nerve racking because when we left we just said good-bye we had still had feelings for eachother. In the 2 yrs since I had seen him I had convinced myself that I didn't care for him anymore. Well those thoughts didn't last for long. Once he saw his beautiful little girl he couldn't get enough of her. He saw her everyday. They bonded very well and we got a long great.

I had to leave to go back home. This was very hard since not only was I having fun with my baby's daddy again, but now I had to go home, back to the sadness. Fortunately Natalie's father couldn't stand being away from her, so he came down for a visit (this was in August) By the time his vacation was up we realized we wanted to be together. So we decided to get married.

The first year of our marriage I was on B/C since at that point I didn't want to get pregnant again. After being on B/C for a year I realized that when I didn't take my B/C I felt much better. Had less headaches and less stomach problems. So I stopped taking it. At that point in our lives we decided if I got pregnant great, but if I didn't then it wasn't meant to be. After 2 years of no protection and no pregnancy I decided to talk to a doctor about why I wasn't getting pregnant. At this point I was diagnosed with POS (polycestic ovarian syndrome) -not sure I spelt that right. The doctor put my on glucophage (sp?) which made me very sick. I stopped taking this.

Finally after 1 1/2 years I came across this lady that did Aricular Therapy (ear accupressure) & I told her that I was wanting to become pregnant & was having problems. After seeing her for 6 months or so I started becoming regular. And to my suprise 2 months later I found out I was pregnant. (6 years after being married)

We are so happy & can't wait for this baby to be here. My daughter is so excited to have a baby sister or brother. She is 9 so she will be a big help to me. My husband is excited to, he's always been really sad that he missed the 1st 2 yrs of our daughters life. Although this won't replace the time he lost, he will now get to experience from the beggining the different stages. It is so new to me and strange. I'm not used to having a man around me while being pregnant. It so sweet when he rubs my belly or talks to the baby. This pregnancy is way better in so many ways. Although it is really hard knowing that my mother is not here for this one.

That pretty much brings you up to date.
