So I am Michelle, or Shelly as most call me. I am 22 and had my son the day before my 22nd birthday. He is now 6 months old (Born 11-14-2007) and is the greatest joy in my life. My fiance Jake (Whose real name is Jack also - he is the III our son is the IV) have only been dating since december of 2006 and got pregnant after just two months of dating but things are great, we are engaged and we love each other very much. We are trying for baby number two which seems to be taking forever and i am currently still breastfeeding my son.

Before the baby...I was attending York College in my 4th year for Biology. I was still attending while I was pregnant and finished out last semester but took off for this semester. It will now take me approx. two years to finish my degree because i can only go part time which is fine with me. I also worked as a dog groomer which makes good money but is a tough job. I now work for my parents running the office of their business which can be stressful at times especially since I am trying to watch my son at the same time but it's great and I couldn't ask for a better situation.

Pregnancy was so exciting but I didn't enjoy it so much. I am normally a long distance runner - yes i know i'm crazy - but I was thin and HAD a nice body...from the start to halfway (20 weeks) i hadn't gained any weight...from week 20-41 i gained 46lbs! So of course lots of stretch marks...pretty much everywhere but my stomach...i hate them and i'm still working to get toned back up. I am about 3 lbs off from my pre prego weight but i've been stuck here for quite some time. I am by NO means naturally thin I work hard for what i have - i mean i was running when my son was only 3 weeks old. I still have a belly and my butt is a big larger still but my son was so worth it! He'll be walking in no time and i'm sure the extra will fall off!

I tend to think I am pretty opened minded about everything and enjoy talking to people about their experiences. I generally overanalyze everything and love researching everything...which annoys my fiance because he tells me I am not a Doctor but Doctors are people too and they learned most of what they know from books so they can make mistakes too!

So hopefully pregnancy happens soon - i'm really hoping for multiples!!! It doesn't really matter but i want to get pregnant soon!
