About Me
My Life: I was born, and live in Iowa, but lived in Mesa, AZ for 13 years and still kinda consider that home. I am a graphic and web designer and currently work for a credit union part time and do freelance in my free time. i love my job!

Was a single mom from the time i was pregnant with my 1st son, until he was 2 years old. It gave me the strength to do many things (like go to college).
Single moms rock! Its a hard job - but i wouldn't have changed a second of it! My son and I have special bond because of it.

I have now been dating the same wonderful man for 3 1/2 years and we just had a baby boy ---> June 2nd 08

i am so terrified and everyone keeps telling me the same thing. i have told myself the same thing: every other women has done it before you and it doesnt help. i am a huge paranoid person and i just cant calm my nerves. i believe that once she is here i will forget about it, but i am terrified. my husband tries and supports me and i just dont know. thanks for hleping me though =]

yea they do seem bigger but then i remember isabella and she 7lbs when she was born and they seem so small compared to that. They were weighed this morning and AJ is 4 pounds even. I can't believe he's 4 lbs already.
