Hello Everybody and welcome to my life story,

Here is a little background of what I have been up to for the past 14 years. I met my wonderful husband on a dating site. He was the first one to reach out to me. On our first date he took me to see the water fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. We watched an entire session.

After that he took me to the Santa Fe Casino and we went bowling. We played maybe on or two sessions, if that. We started talking and he asked me questions about my family life and how many siblings I have.

I asked him the same questions and we never even finished our game. He took me home and even opened the car door for me. That was new to me because no men has ever done that for me. I said good night to him and I went inside. He waited until I was inside and then he drove home. He was/is truly a gentleman.

I sat in the garage maybe 5 minutes when my mom came in and we smoke a cigarette and she asked me how my date was. I told her that I had so much fun and I could see myself going out with him again. She was happy, that I finally found somebody that I could connect with even if it was just going to be a friendship.

Two weeks past by and he showed up at my house. In between that time we were skyping everyday on skype. He found out that I loved to watch Smallville. He brought the first season of Smallville over. So we started the first 2 episodes together. Well my bed broke in half. He told me that he would come by the next day after work and he would fix it. He sure did keep his promise and that was huge for me. I never had a man keep his promises. So that for sure was a huge plus. I was happy that my bed was fixed.

We had made plans that we would meet up again on the weekend. I was in a German American Club in Las Vegas and I participated in German traditional dancing. We had a performance and he came and watched me and my family and friends perform. Everybody was asking me, who he was and I started to blush because the more time I spend with him the more I fell in love with him.

One month after we met, he came over to my parents house and he just kissed me out of the blue. I just knew then that he felt the same way as me. This was in October 2010. We have not been apart since that day. We have been together for 14 almost 15 years. He is my best friend and my soulmate.

I hope you enjoyed my little introduction. There is more to come tomorrow and as for now see you later alligator.

Our Second Pregnany Journey

Written by

Shortly after Christopher’s first birthday, we found out that we were pregnant with baby number 2,we were shocked, but felt blessed at the same time. Our baby was due May 18th, 2014. Chris would only be 21 months old at that time.

I set up our first appointment with my mom present at 8 weeks. Everything looked good. We saw his little heart flutter. I told my stepdad, that we were expecting baby number 2. He said jokingly, that we were crazy.

I was excited, but scared at the same time. I was about to raise 2 kids under the age of 3. We were ready to start this crazy journey. We found out at our 14 week ultrasound appointment, that it was a little boy. At that appointment we were also told, that he had a Two-vessel umbilical cord versus a Three-vessel umbilical cord. Also, he has a valve missing, which means that his oxygen never gets “cleaned” like ours does. His heart pretty much looks like a “balloon”.

Usually with the Two-vessel cord the baby only has one functioning kidney. We could see that he had both kidneys, but we didn’t know, if both were functioning until after birth. The uncertainty was killing us.

I had a lot of appointments, where they would hook me up on monitors to check his movements and his heart rate. Everything always looked good, but we knew that we weren’t in the clear just yet.

We were getting for his induction date on May19th, 2014. I couldn’t wait to hold him and finally breathe and know, if he was ok. It turned out that both his kidneys were functioning and he was scheduled for an ultrasound for his heart at 6 months old. More about this in my next blog, where I will tell his birth story.

This is Glen Jr at 6 years old.
