Lets all share something about ourself that others might not know.

I was a single mom for 6 years and had given up on finding someone to have a baby with.

I was going to have a baby by myself before I met DH.

I was a single mom for 5 years before meeting my DH. My son was my first H's kid. The older 2 girls are by my X-boyfriend.

I got a student loan and went to school to become a Dental Assistant. After i finished i realized that i just wantedt o be a SAHM instead of going to work. Dh was upset at first knowing that i spent $20,000 on college and i don't plan on working any time soon. I think i want to wait till the kids are all in school before i go to work!

Me and DH are pretty Country - some might call us Rednecks! We love the land, horses, jacked up trucks, 4 wheelers and dirtbikes, and much more. If we have a girl - she'll probably be a tom boy of sorts. DH and I are even going to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour this Friday to see Larry the cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy. It will be a blast!

I cannot believe I am letting this one out, but you asked so here we go, by the way the only person I discuss this with is dh but here goes, My dh and I are both 27 years old we have been together since we were 17 years old, when I was 17 my dh and I, we weren't married back then, conceived a child, we were young both so very happy and excited, we made plans on how we both could still go to college and work and raise the child, we could not wait to be parents even though its been ten years ago I can remember how my tummy felt, I can remember being ill I think from the moment of conception, my dh held me so tight!! when I showed him those results, I immediatley statred to change my diet, eat right did not got to doctor right away, and we did not tell our parents, well my nose was spreading and I was gaining weiight I was a very thin girl, and my mother noticed changes in my eating habits and immeadiately scheduled a doctors appt, I went to the office and was examined my mothers ob this was my first pelvic exam the dr told me I was approx 6 wks pregnant, I immeadiately told the physician that I was keeping my baby, the physician spk with my mother and we left to this day I don't know why my mother made me tell her I was pregnant, even though I knew the physician had already told her, my mother put tremendous pressure on me for the next week, she told me that my dh and I were kids we weren't going to go on to finish college and that our lives would be a mess, she told me he would go away to college and meet another girl and I would be a single mother forever, my mother took me to the clinic on the first time I stood my ground, the second tme, I stood my ground I was so connected to this baby! the third time, I caved in to the pressure and I let go a precious Angel, my mother always justified her decesion because I went on to get chicken pox 4 days later, I think it was part of punishment for what I had done, my dh and i went on to get married, we moved away from our families. we bought a big house and now it is empty with dh and I, we estimate the age of our child, we talk about it constantly, it been ten years but we have been trying 8mths now I have been temping charting and can't helpt but to think that our punishment may be to be childless forever, I am on CD 30 and no af but I remember those 8 weeks of pregnancy and this is not it, sorry for the long post it feels good to share this and to get opinions on what others think.

It's so difficult to stand up to parents, especially if they happen to be a bit overbearing. It sounds like you and DH made a good decision for yourselves to move away from that. (I don't know the whole story, but I'm guessing and basing on my experience that it's difficult to look at your mother after that.) I'm so sorry for your loss, but please, please, PLEASE don't think that you are being punished. My first pregnancy was by accident after I had been told that I couldn't get pregnant at all. That one ended, and we tried for almost a year after that before getting pregnant again. In other words, just because you didn't try on that one, it doesn't mean that you won't have to try for a while for another.

I'm glad you shared with us. If nothing else, we've all learned that these boards are GREAT for that!!!! Welcome and glad you joined us!

And I should share, huh?

DH and I had a weird road to getting together, but he'd apparently decided, after avoiding relationships his whole life (including random hook-ups, crushes, ANYTHING) and after one conversation with me that he was going to marry me. (I had NO intention of EVER getting married.) We were friends for a while, but he constantly brought up getting married and him raising my kids (oh, they don't have to be MY kids, he said). After wetting myself laughing over him leaning over his lap one night, sniffing, then saying loudly in a quiet computer lab, "DUDE! Is that my penis?!" I told my sister I would never date him. I just couldn't imagine it. (Now, such things are commonplace and don't faze me.) 6 months later, after being separated for that long and not seeing him AT ALL over that time, I moved across the country to a place I'd never been to live in his parents' house, fully intending to marry him. I'm such a sucker.

And, um, we started trying to have a baby immediately. When I fall, I fall HARD.

i always knew that i didnt want to go to college. When i got to high school i decided that i would only go to college for "the experience" and not to learn anything so why waste the money.

when i was about 5 my dad elbowed me in the mouth and folded in my bottom teeth to a 90 degree angle. it was an accident. i came up behind him and he didnt see me. he had to pull them back up straight then i went to the dentist.

i'm allergic to my wedding ring. one of the changes that happened after ashton was born. if i wear my ring for more than a week it starts itching and peeling.

i dye my hair a diffrent color once about once a month.

cant really think of anything else.
