A little summary of my life....

Ok so I thought I would share a little summary of what my life is like....
 I sit here just a week shy of being 21 years old and happiley married to a wonderful man of almost 3 years... We have been together for almost 5 years and still seem to be learning more and more about each other every day. We got engaged on our 1 year anniversary of being together and we married 4 months after that. We were married 2 years before I became pregnant with our first child....
Now in between all that I have managed to go to school even after getting married... A lot of my friends thought it was weird that I was married before even graduating high schoo. BUT I didnt care...I was in love... My mom must have really trusted me because she let me move out a month after we got engaged .... We both agreed to just be simple about things and just get married at the courthouse... YES a BIG wedding wouldve been nice but I knew there was no way either of us or out families could pay for it... After we were married I continued on to college for two years and although I didnt graduate with a degree I plan to go back in the future for one. It was the begining of 2010 when we decided to concieve... although my husband had lost his job back in Sept. of '09 we both agreed there is NEVER a perfect time to have a child.... It took no time for me to get pregnant.... Fev. 11th I took a pregnancy test and it said I was pregnant. about a month later I went in for my first ultrasound and I was already 6weeks pregnant. My entire pregnancy went by so fast and I had no complications and the worse part of it all was the morning sickness... October 12 of 2010 I had my beautiful baby girl. Hope u enjoyed reading about my life as much as I did writting it...

New mom

Here I sit with my beautiful baby girl Hailey. I have found the first few months challenging but I have seemed to overcome them. I had a mild case of PPD at first but I was smart and got medication for it. My PPD was taking over me before I got meds for it. I got to the point where I couldnt look at my baby without crying...I couldnt enjoy her. Now being on meds for it I can enjoy her all day long and soak in all those smiles and coos.  She is now 3 months old and feister than ever. Growing a little more each day and full of life =]. Still no laugh yet but shes getting close... Ive got to say being a mom is one of the BEST feelings in the world. Although it is also a scary feeling too, but when I see her smile all the scariness seems to fade.
