About Me

My photo
45 year old partnered with the love of my life, with a 28 year old daughter, 23 year old step-son, 19 year old step-son, 16 year old step-daughter, a 9 year old step-son and a 4 1/2 year old son. I now have 5 male cats and 1 female bunny that I adore. I had to rehome 2 kitties last September and 2 kitties passed away in November so things have been sad this past year. I love contests as I'm sure you can tell. I also love tattoos, looking at other peoples' and getting my own (I've had 17). I met the man of my dreams, living right next door! We plan to get married this year and to homestead within the next 2 years.

8 weeks old

Little man turns 8 weeks old today...can't believe that much time has passed since he was born. He looks like such a little boy here. It's unbelievable how much I love him. I fell in love with him the same way I did with his big sister, 24 years ago. I guess the name of the blog will be changed.

Baby Boy

I have had a very trying pregnancy...we thought I lost the baby in the beginning...then found out I didn't 4 weeks later. I lost 11 pounds before I stopped losing weight...I just couldn't eat. Then there was the issues with being an older mother...lots of genetic and chromosomal worries. I have had numerous blood tests, ultrasounds and dealt with anxiety and depression in the beginning. Everything has come back normal! I am now 21 weeks pregnant and due between July 3 and July 6, somewhere right between my fiance's and my birthdays. We found out last Wednesday that we are having a baby boy...William Christopher James. I have taken lots of picture of the baby bump and am feeling the baby kick very regularly...he's an active little man. I will keep you posted on how things are going.
