Hello Ladies! My name is Roberta and live in Pennsylvania, USA. I am 24 years old, and he is 32. So here is a brief story of us.........

Wes and I were engaged on July 26, 2007 and we found out we were pregnant on August 5, 2007. We were planning a July 12, 2008 wedding, but moved it up after finding out we were pregnant with our first child...so we got married on September 30th!! It was a great choice for us, and couldn't have asked for a better day!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Our first pregnancy was not really planned. I forgot to get BC pills for the next month (JULY) and figured "Oh I'll just get them next month" and sure enough...there was no next month! We got pregnant in July. My doctor pinpointed the conception date at 7-7-07. Give or take a day. But I guess it was fate, beings the lucky number 7's. We couldn't be happier with our little gift from God.

We had our little girl on April 3, 2008 at 3:46 am. Everything went well and we were surrounded by our family! It was a little hard at first adjusting from being 2 to 3. I think my hubby was feeling a little neglected, but things have gotten much better since. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The second pregnancy wasn't really planned either...but it was a pleasant suprise! I started to take birth control and after 8 days of taking them I found out we were pregnant again...WOOPS! Hubby and I were really happy though!

Our 2nd little angel was born on June 10, 2009 at 2:25 am. It was a very easy delivery....2 pushes and Ryleigh was out. The only crappy part of the whole experience was having to drive myself to the hospital in labor because my husband didn't believe that I was going to have the baby! What an idiot :o)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I am a stay-at-home-mom, but with a part-time job as a police officer. My husband is also a police officer for the 3rd largest city in the state, and is a sniper on their SWAT team! I pretty much work just to get out of the house and have some adult interaction. My DH would rather I just be at home, but I don't want to waste my bachelors degree, plus I just like to make some money to spend :o) My hubby, mom/dad ,or sister watches Mackenzie and Ryleigh a day or two a week while I'm at work. My children will never be in child care, as it is not an option for me. I want to watch our children grow up and be there for all of their "firsts". I don't want to pick them up from daycare and have the lady tell me "your kid said their first word today" or something like that. My hubby and I never went to child care when we were younger, we both came from SAHM families and that's how our children will be raised as well. I couldn't ask for anything more. I love my husband and daughters more than anything in the world!

Okay...so I haven't been on here in a reallllly long time. Things have just been so hectic for me and it's busy around the house. We had our daughter Mackenzie on April 3, 2008....YEY. She was supposed to come on April 11th, but was early. Suprise! I thought that I would be going late for sure. Everything went well during labor and we brought her home on April 5th. She is now a little over 4 months old and she's getting sooo big. She doesn't sleep through the night yet, she ususally wakes up once to be fed. She has a cute little personality already. She loves to play, be held and cuddled, and watch tv. She hates when commercials come on tv, being put down, and having her feet tickled! We started her on stage 1 food on the 8th, and she has been doing okay with that. She's not quite sure what to think about it yet!

10.5.08

Our little Mackenzie is getting bigger everyday. Yesterday my hubby went upstairs to get her after she woke up from a nap...and she was sitting up in her crib looking around! What a big girl. I guess it's time to lower the matress huh! And she is now sitting up without any assistance. She doesn't even wabble around that much, except for when she reaches for her toys. She is showing more signs of being interested in grown up food. If one of us is holding her and eating she watches us eat, and then gets mad when we put the food in our mouths because she wants it! haha. It's cute. Her personality is really starting to show!!! I really love her sooooo much!

10.25.08

Hmmm...well a lot has been going on lately. Mackenzie cut her first tooth the other day. She was being a little monster in the morning after her bottle so I went to put some baby orajel on her gum and voila!!! A tooth. It's just the tip of one. It's on the bottom... so yay for Mackenzie!

On another note...the DH and I found out on the 20th that WE'RE PREGNANT AGAIN! Crazy huh!? We weren't exactly planning it, it just happened. We kinda wanted to wait just a little longer to start trying again. But we're still happy anyways! The doctor's believe that we are roughly 3-4 weeks pregnant. I was in the hospital last month for an unrelated issue and they did blood work on me to see if I was pregnant, and it came back negative. I took a pregnancy test on the 20th because I just wasn't feeling right and it was a faint positive. So I got blood work again and it confirmed that we were pregnant. They estimate July as the birth month. So our babies will be roughly 15-16 months apart...YIKES :o) Be we couldn't be happier.

11.1.08

Mackenzie cut her second tooth the other day. She's still kinda fussy, but she isn't so bad when she's being entertained constantly! I found out last week that my SIL April is also pregnant. She is June 26th and I am "tentatively" due around July 1st. I say tentatively because I haven't gone to a doctors appointment yet for confirmation! Other than that, not much going on. Mackenzie was a flower for Halloween...and the cutest flower at that!

11.23.08

Mackenzie cut her third tooth today! It the top right one. She's hanlding it okay, just drooling a lot. She's not being too fussy thought, which is good. I've been feeling kinda crapy lately, just a lot of morning...well all day sickness. I just get nauseous, no vomiting though. Tomorrow is our first doctors appt. for baby #2...yey! I'm so excited for find out a more exact due date! My MIL is coming into town on Wednesday and is staying the night into Thanksgiving. I guess it's nice, but I am a little bitter towards her since she hasn't been up to see Mackenzie since she was a month old, and she only lived 1 1/2 hours away and doesn't work. Whatever. Then the rest of DH's family is coming the next day. So I'll have 11 people I can barely stand eating dinner in my house. They are so rude, they'll prob eat their Thanksgiving dinner around the TV instead of at the table like normal civilized people do....GRRRR. What a fun week this will be...Wish me luck!

2.22.09

Well I've been on here a lot, just haven't updated :o( Mackenzie now has 5 teeth, walks and talks all the time. She never stays still and won't be quite...just like her momma! On February 13th we found out baby #2 can now be reclassified as baby girl #2. We are pregnant with our second daughter!! Wes was hoping for a boy and I didn't really care so long as the baby was healthy. I just kew all along though that it was a girl! Now we have to agree on baby names, which is a challenge. So far we haven't been able to come up with a name that we both like. Hopefully that will happen soon. I know we have a lot of time left, but this pregnancy seems to be going by so fast that in reality 3 1/2 months isn't that far off!

MY LOVES.....Wesley and Mackenzie

Where do I start for this month?! Mackenzie now has 6 teeth (4 on the top, 2 on the bottom) and she's just getting over being sick. She caught a cold and had that for a couple of days and was miserable...poor baby girl. But now she is starting to feel better. She also gave me the sickness too, so that was a joy...dealing with a sick baby, being sick yourself, and being pregnant! But we got through. Not too much has been going on in the pregnancy realm. Just working on getting fatter! I'm now up to 157 pounds. Sadly, that's only 3 pounds less than the day I gave birth to Mackenzie. And I got about 14 weeks to go, providing that I don't go into pre-term labor! The only big difference is that I'm being a real big bitch to my husband lately. I just can't help it though, he makes it so easy! I'm a SAHM and I tell my hubby that I need a little break from the baby to re-energize and he tells me "well I have to eat and work out"...WHAT....umm no...what you NEED to do is get your ass in here and watch your daughter! GRRR men. But he's been pretty good, he just needs to step it up on the back rubs! We haven't really done much to prepare for this baby to come. She will be sharing a room with Mackenzie after she outgrows the bassinette that will be in our room. But we need to get another crib and a double stroller. Besides that and the essential diapers and wipes we don't need anything. I just really hope that the transition going from a family of 3 to 4 is easy, or at least moderately tolerable! I'm going to attempt to breast feed this baby as well...hopefully all will work out as planned!

4.26.09

Another month down, and 10 more weeks to go...well 9 more weeks to go tomorrow! Right now I'm just drained emotionally and physically. I have so much back and pelvic pain with this pregnancy, it's not even funny. It's getting to the point that my right leg goes numb occasionally. Probably not too normal, but whatever. I feel Ryleigh kicking all the time, which is really nice, but sometimes annyoing. I'm just trying to enjoy it though because I wonder if this will be my last pregnancy or not! We might have another, we might not. We are going to wait and see how the transition from 1 to 2 goes. Then I think we'll make a decision. As the days go on I'm getting more excited that nervous. I'm a little scared because they'll be like 15 months apart and Mackenzie is REALLY active. But we'll manage. I'm just really looking forward to having another newborn in the house! I can't wait! I think that Mackenzie is cutting another tooth because she's been kinda craby, running a slight temp, and drooling like a St. Bernard! But nothing has popped out yet, so we shall see which one is next! On the emotional side of things, I'm a wreck. My husband and I haven't been getting along so well and it seems like he does stuff purposely to make me upset. He just doesn't understand what I'm going through right now. It's hard being pregnant and dealing with a 1 year old all day, and sometimes I need a break. I don't know, I just wish that he would show more interest in Mackenzie. Sometimes he's great, but most of the time he's not. He drinks more than he should and seems to neglect our feelings. I just want him to want to be apart of our daughters life more. Sometimes I feel like a single mom although we are married, live together, etc. He's there for us financially and all, but emotionally, it's not there a lot of the time. I just hope that he can change this and start to show her a little more attention.....

AHHHHH I just want to scream! Why can't this be over with already! hehe. I say this now, but watch, when Ryleigh comes I'll want her to be back inside when those sleepless nights come rolling around! Right now I'm 35w6d and ready to go any day now. I was at the hospital last night because I was having regular contractions. My doctor said to call if I had more than 5 in one hour, and I had 7, so I called. Right now I'm 4 cm dilated, 80% effaced, and -1 station. So she can come at any time now. I know that the baby should be inside to ensure the best possible growth and development. I suppose I'm just being selfish. But I've been pregnant for like 2 years straight it seems...I only had 6 months down-time before we got pregnant again....Ryleigh was a suprise! A very much welcome one, but nonetheless a suprise.

Mackenzie is getting bigger, smarter, and more mischevious as each day goes by. As of yesterday she is cutting her 7th tooth. She is being a champ about it, only mildly fussy. She's at the stage right now where she's little miss independant and wants to do everything on her own. If she can't she'll throw herself down on the floor and cry for like 10-15 seconds, then she's okay. But my gosh how she has grown and changed in just 14 months. I just can't believe it. I took down her baby clothes so Ryleigh can wear them and I was holding them up in disbelief that my little Mackenzie once wore these! She's just sooooo big now!

10.16.09

Wow, so I haven't really updated in a very long time! Everything has been going hard here, and it's been pretty easy adjusting to being a mommy of 2 that are 14 months apart! Ryleigh is now 4 months old, and Mackenzie is 18 months old. Mackenzie is sucha good big sister. All she wants to do is hug, kiss, help me feed, and play with Ryleigh. And Ry is equally as loving because she smiles and Mack ALLLL the time! Her nickname is smiley ryleigh :o)

Not much else has really been going on otherwise. DH and I just got back from a cruise to Bermuda and we had a great time. We're thinking about going maybe in May on another, but we'll just have to see!
