Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! My name is Katie and I am 19 years old. I live in a small town in north Alabama and am a mother and a wife. The story of how I got to where I am today starts on November 16 2009, when a little decision changed my entire life.
I met Justin through a friend… a friend who dated him. Okay okay, before you exit the blog and talk about how completely awful I am all I have to say is it was WORTH it. Every bit of it. I had always been a bit of a loner anyways. Never the less after their bad break up we got together and it was amazing. He was older than me (4 years to be exact) and was a hard working, well meaning man. Everything was great, he even proposed to me in February. I of course said yes, and we set the date for the next November, little did we know we would be getting a big surprise that November.
To be honest I always knew I was going to have babies young (I never thought that young) but I knew it was meant to be. I found out I was pregnant on March 15 2010, after a trip. I was terrified, worried about if he would still want to be with me. I knew I couldn’t do it without him. When I told him he actually seemed kinda happy for us. I then told my parents and Justin told his… then we got married on April 10, 2010 (just a little sooner than we had hoped).
The months flew by faster than I was ready for and before I knew it I was as big as a whale and it was time to have a baby.
I went in to the hospital at 7:00 on November 9th (They had decided to induce me because the baby was getting pretty big, the ultrasound estimated 8 pounds 10 oz). The gave me a small pill designed to soften things and get everything ready to go. The next morning I began having contractions (boy was it painful) and by 8 that night it was time to push!
I pushed for two and a half hours before they decided to use forceps. Once they were situated it took one more push and little Seth came into the world. He was an 8 pound 7 ounce miracle and I loved him more than anything.
Over the next few months we faced many new things, physically (anything from migraines to gallbladder surgery) and emotionally. But we’ve managed alright… and this is my blog to tell it all from my Photography hobby to my fast food job. I sincerely hope you enjoy.
