Something To Think About
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:
"Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even one year old, and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together."
So the doctor said: "Okay, and what do you want me to do?"
She said: "I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this."
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence, he said to the lady: "I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you, too."
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
Then he continued: "You see, in order for you not to have to take care of two babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms."
The lady was horrified and said: "No, doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!"
I agree," the doctor replied. "But you seemed to be okay with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution."
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.
He convinced the mom that there is no difference between killing a child that's already been born and killing one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!
6 Months Old
Today my daughter is six months old! Time has flown by so fast. It is amazing to see how much a little person can learn in such a short amount of time. I swear she is the happiest baby on earth with how much she giggles and smiles. So much personality. I love you baby girl and look forward to the many years ahead of us. <3
Emma's Story
I decided to go back and visit the boarding school in early October of last year. Emma and my dad went with me. When we got there the girls were watching a video on abortion. At the end of the movie they were asked if their views on abortion had changed. Many of the replies were that they no longer agreed with abortion unless the girl was raped or didn't know who the biological father of the baby was.
I was then invited up to tell my story to the girls. When I was finished I told them I was going to tell Emma's story as well. I told them that the baby that they were just calling the most beautiful and cutest baby alive would not be here today if I had gotten an abortion for the reasons that they had said it was okay to get an abortion. Not only did I not know who Emma's biological father was, but one of her possible daddies is the man who raped me.
I don't know if I changed every girls views on abortion, but I do know that I changed some. I don't believe in abortion, but I don't judge those who do. It makes me cry when I hear about abortions, because now I picture my beautiful little daughter, ripped into a bunch of little pieces, the life and joy gone from her face, just lying there in the trash.
Even though I had multiple people around me, including one of the possible baby dadies, telling me to get an abortion. I was told to get one every day up until I started dating Kyle and was able to get away from those kind of people. Not once during those days did I even consider it. This was a life and mine to take care of. I was not going to fail my responsibilities as a parent before my daughter had the chance to take her first breath. I've never regretted giving birth to her and keeping her to raise myself. She is my biggest blessing.

Q and A
Feel free to ask any questions you might have! I will answer any questions asked so long as they are appropriate.
One question that was asked: "Is Kyle Emma's biological father?"
A: No! We know for sure that Kyle is not the biological father of Emma. She does have his last name and he is on the birth certificate as her father.

Valentines Day
What are your plans for Valentines Day? Do you have a special someone to spend it with? That's okay if you don't, you can still have fun and EAT SUGAR!
Valentines Day is a special day for me. It marks one year since Kyle and I announced our relationship. Nothing too special, but still a little bit.
We don't have a lot of money this year, but that;s okay. A home cooked meal followed by cake under candle light will still make for a romantic evening. And home made cards are special. I love when my husband makes me cards. He's so good at the poems!
Please feel free to comment your Valentines Day ideas and/or plans. I'd love to hear them. I might even post some of your ideas. If you don't want your ideas re-posted please let me know.

Starting a Family
Being almost five months pregnant and trying to plan a wedding was not easy. Thankfully I had my mother-in-law there to help me. I did not have my mom though as she had passed away from liver failure on December 6, 2011. It was just going to be a small wedding as I only had two months to plan it. Originally the wedding date was set for September 2012. One month after my baby was due. After much coaxing from friends the wedding date was changed to May 20, 2012.
With the help of family and friends I was able to have everything ordered and ready for the wedding in time. The biggest problems we ran into were the caterer got sick and we had to find a new way of providing food just weeks before the wedding, and another bride had booked her wedding for the same day at the same park. So the date was changed to the 19th. Fortunately that was the first problem we had run into and was able to change the date on the invitations before they were sent out.
Exactly two weeks before my wedding I turned on the news. The subject was the dangers of the rivers this time of year and how people were already falling in and drowning. The person being discussed was a mutual friend of most of my guests coming to the wedding and mine. The funeral was set for the same day as my wedding.
My wedding day had finally come. Everything was set up, everyone dressed. We took the pre-wedding shoot of me and my bridesmaids then loaded up and taken to the ceremony location. My father-in-law ran a branch of FedEx so I was delivered in one of his vans. I was so nervous I forgot my vows. My husband had written them out so he tried to help me along as I stood there speechless. I got through it though, even if I didn't say the whole thing, and we headed to the reception.
Being a wife is the most amazing feeling next to being a mom. Yes we argue and fight, but if I could do it over I would marry him again.
Almost two months before my daughters due date I started having contractions. I practically lived in the hospital for the next couple of weeks downing pills to try and keep her in longer. Three weeks before she was due she decided that she couldn't wait any longer. I was at home alone when my water broke. My parents were at work and my husband at school. I tried calling my husband but his phone was dead. The pain was so intense that I was cussing and hitting the walls. I remembered a video that I had watched that said if you went to the hospital and you could talk the doctor would send you back home. So obviously it wasn't that big of an emergency. A few hours later my husband showed up and ran to the back room to find me crumpled up on a big pile of towels. All I could think about was "a puddle? No, this is a lake!" He scooped me up and ran me to the hospital.
When we got there they took me to this little room and told me that they had to make sure that my water really did break and that I didn't just think it did. I looked at them like they were crazy. I even told them they were. If that wasn't my water than what else would it be?
As I was waiting for the results to come back my mother-in-law showed up. When the results came back as it was my water that broke I was rushed to a room where I was hooked up to machines that checked my baby to make sure she was okay through the deliver. After what seemed like hours but was only ten minutes according to the nurse I got my epidural. Instant relief. I couldn't feel a thing. I was happy and laughing again.
My father, sister, in-laws, husband, and his best friend were all there in the room with me. All of a sudden I looked at my mom and told her I thought the baby was coming out. She didn't say anything, just looked at me like I was crazy. How could I be so relaxed when the baby was coming out? A few minutes later I again told her that we needed a nurse cuz I knew the baby was coming. When the nurse arrived she shockingly looked at me and told me the head was sticking out and ran out to get the doctor. The doctor arrived and a few minutes later my daughter. Labor was so easy. I laughed through the whole thing. I even had them put a mirror up so I could see her coming out.
My daughter, Emma, was born August 8, 2012 at 9:28 pm. Weighing 6lb 3oz at a length of 18 1/2in. She is the most beautiful baby ever and I would not trade her for the world. She is now six months old tomorrow and is growing so fast. How quick she learns new things every day amazes me.
Right now I am living in a studio apartment with my husband and daughter. We will be moving at the end of the month into a two bedroom duplex. Neither of are employed at the moment, but are both searching for work. It is very hard to find jobs though. I am ten weeks pregnant with my second child who is due September 2, 2013. My sister-in-law is fourteen weeks pregnant with her first and we are so excited to be going through our pregnancies together.
So this is my little family and where we are in life now. I love my family so much and can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
