I have nailed my life down to a few turning points. First would be when I was seven and my dad and brother passed away, although we have kind of touched base about this once.. Next would be when I found out I was pregnant right out of high school, then having my mother in law pass away and then losing the baby two weeks after her. Then it would be turning 21 and finding out you are pregnant two weeks later, then learning that your cervix doesn't want to hold the baby 'up' so you get put on bed rest to have your water break 6 weeks early, having a baby that you can't take home with you. And let me tell you there is no worse feeling then knowing you have to leave this beautiful thing you created at the hospital for two weeks so she can get strong enough to come home. A week after birth I had 5 seizures due to eclampsia (not pre-clampsia) and got readmited. We both got to go home together three days later. But I look back at my pictures of my 21st birthday and I look at that as the last time I got to be 'me.' The old me.. After that birthday my life was about to change so much and I didn't have a clue. FIve years later my boyfriend whom I was begining to wonder if he was ever gonna man up and propose got married and we have three wonderful daughters. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing!! That little 5lb baby has grown into a beautiful four year old, my one year old walks around always trying to get naked and yelling "Mia" or "more" and my three month old is the spitting image of her middle sister in looks but in attitude she is just like her big big sister Nacole.
Life has thrown us many curve balls but we come out swinging... homeruns!!
Part two to my advice section will be posted soon..
