Hello All! My name is Diane also known as Di. I am married to a wonderful man named Shaun. We have been together for 3(almost 4) years and married for one and a half years. We have two biological children together. Our son's name is Corgan and he just turned 2 in February. Poet is our latest addition born August 2nd 2009. I have 3 other children from a previous relationship. Caprice(10 yrs), Chance(8.5 yrs), and Cannen(5.5 yrs). Their bio dad is pretty much extinct from their lives and Shaun is in the process of adopting them. I work as a nurse in a rehab facility when I am working. I am currently on maternity leave for a year. My hubby works for the local school board. We both love our careers and the changes that they will bring along with possibilities for future advancements. My BFF introduced me and subsequently got me hooked on this site. Happy pregnancies to all the mommies and daddies to be and sprinkles of baby dust to the ones TTC!
