Well, I've known for awhile now, but haven't said anything on here..... I've got number two on the way....expected this June just before I turn 21. Ideally we would have spaced them out better as Mathew is only 7 months at the moment..., but still excited...I am going to put off going back to school for a few years and just be a stay at home mom...

Your children will be blessed having such a wonderful mother caring for them. There is nothing you could do that would be more beneficial, IMO.

Thank you. It would be wonderful to have 1 of each. I'd love to dress up, tea parties and girl scouts if it is a girl!!! Of course another boy would be wonderful too and save on clothes and toys with my frugal husband.

We will find out in a few weeks.

I think that's the appeal of the story. We can all identify with that.

I've never seen that movie.

I am sorry you have regrets.

Sometimes you don't know how other decisions would have played out and so it is best to focus on the blessings you do have rather than the ones you don't.

My grandfather used to say "one bird in your hand is better than two birds in the bush."


When I first found out that I was pregnant...to be honest...I thought I ruined my life. My life is actually better now. I could wonder what it would be like to be still in college...but I am here...happy...and well taken care of. I have some stresses of motherhood...but I've lost many other stresses too. It seems to have worked out well...I could second guess what ifs, but why? I love my child...I love my husband. For all I know has I not been pregnant I would be single and depressed in college right now.



Anything you want to share? Perhaps there still is time to do what you want to.

I heard from Dave Ramsey that Colonel Sanders didn't start his first restaurant until he was 65 years old. As a vegetarian I think his food is greasy, unhealthy, and should be avoided....but wow...amazing story of doing something at an old age.

Congratulations!

There is no higher calling than motherhood, and don't let anyone tell you different!

I have a son named Matthew as well. Do you spell yours with one "t" or was that a typo?

So how are you doing?

Are you doing well? Staying out of trouble? Get to harass any fish lately?!
