I am a stay at home mom to a 4 year old little pickle and am currently pregnant with our second little one! I am a Type 2 diabetic and also have high blood pressure, but both are under control at the moment.
In any spare time I have, I love to scrapbook, read, cross stitch and spend time with my family and friends.
I am 20 years old and I just found out that I am going to be a new mommy! I am really excited but trying not to get my hopes to high.. Still very early in my pregnancy. I am engaged and not sure about the relationship right now because of the baby, but we are working it out. I love to read, swim, listen to music, and dance.
