I am a mother of two beautiful lil girls, They are 17 months apart…. I thought it would be easy having children back to back… You know the whole hurry up and get it out of the way. Well its not that easy…. If I could go back and redo it. I would have waited an extra year or two…. They fight like cats and dogs…. Plus I stayed pregnant for two years…. My youngest one wants all the attention,,, and my oldest feels left out…. But I still show them the same amount of attention…. Which my youngest cant stand. She wants all of me. but I still provide my attention evenly to both children…. I have nerves of steel for this…. and if you are considering haveing children back to back ask yourself…. Do I Have Nerves Of Steel….. before you choose to do this…. But if you do… it is a great experience to watch your children grow and learn from one another…. and whatever you do dont let one child ever feel that one is loved more…. That is so hard to break…. Because I know I love my girls equally and so much…. Just like you do….

I’m a mother of two beautiful, happy boys. I wouldn’t trade anything for my full time, around-the-clock job as a mother. Some people ask me, “Wouldn’t you rather get a job so you can have a little break?” My answer is always, “And pay someone else to enjoy their first steps, their first words, and their hugs and kisses? NEVER!” I get to crawl around on the carpet with my babies and watch them get excited as I play “chase” with them. I get to hold my baby’s hand as he nurses and looks up at me with a huge smile of contentment. I get to catch my baby as he falls time and time again when he tries to take his first steps down the hallway. I get to cheer him on when he says his first words, even though they come out as gibberish to us, he knows that “it all makes sense to mommy.” I get to be there for all their laughs, their cries, their hurts, their latest discoveries in the yard, and their happiest moments of the day. I get to make them good wholesome meals instead of picking up fast food on the way to the sitters. And I can enjoy those meals with them! I get to tickle them and make them laugh until tears stream down their face and stop whenever I feel like it! I get to plan their birthday parties, make play dates with other children, take them on long walks, talk to them about my latest ideas as they share their dreams with me. I have the privilege, the honor, and the utmost pleasure in doing all these things and MORE! Now, tell me again… why should I get a part time job? ; )

I am mother of three . I have read the other additions to this blog and I would love to add to them. I was 19 when i had my oldest daughter , becoming a parent does not make you become an adult , it is a choice will have to make to do things right. Thankfully I am able to look back almost two decades later and say wow.. I made it.. I would love to offer my experince to anyone out there. I have gone through 3 preterm births , and the nightmares that that can entail. But when your little life forms evolve in front of you into drooling, babbling fingerpainting beings, who go to school, get good grades, makes friends, skin knees, does plays, has relationships,i t becomes all worth while .( you just need someone to remind you of that sometimes when you are erasing wall murals your three yr old did in marker, or pulling out freshly machine washed worms your son had in pockets for fishing,or you have to proclaim a new house rule of ” no one enters with more legs than they left ” , because your kids are always saying ” mom, ooh look at this one i found “) Yes all that comes after the cooing , bubbling angelic bundle of love that does things in a disney baby diaper . IT’s all part of the deal. What a ride I have been on so far! The VERY Greatest show on earth…being a parent !!!!

I am a totally different kind of parent. I am an adoptive parent. We adopted my two kids two years apart as babies. They are now 6 and 8. we are currently trying to adopt an older child out of foster care. I never felt like I missed anything by not being pregnant. My main goal was to become a mother. Deciding to adopt takes a lot of thought. You have to be a strong person who is not selfish. Eventually your child may want to search for his or her birthparents. You may have an open or semi open adoption where your child knows the birthparent. You have to be open and honest about your child’s past while keeping all the information age appropriate. You always have to be thinking about what’s best for your child’s feelings, not yours. You have to arm your child with answers when other kids ask questions also. Adoption isn’t for everyone, but it is right for us!

Having my first born was the best thing that had ever happened to me, except I was 19 and still acted like i was still a teenager myself. Thanfully i had my mom to help me out. It was only last year, but i feel like i have grown up alot. Now im pregnant again and hopefully this one will bring me closer to being an adult.

If you are considering having a baby consider not buying that new big expensive family car. Until, you and your new family have had a chance to settle back down from bring your beautiful baby home.
After having a baby you don’t realize all the little things that add up. pulling your budet pretty tight. Have a nice day!

If considering Having a baby:
When considering having a baby it must be a joint desicion.
Do not try and trick someone into having a family, you both
must want the same things to be good parents.
Go visit your doctor before getting preganant, to make sure
you are in great shape for the long nine months. Then start
taking folic acid for your babies protection, so many things
depend on you. Best thing is always try to include the other
partner on each visit. This a partnership every step of the way.
Good Luck!
