My first post

I have always wanted to Blog. But I never knew what I could write about. But now that I have a bundle of joy by the name of Shane.. it seems I have a lot of stuff to talk about. Here is a short background.

I am 28 years old. I lived in St Pete until I was ten then we moved to Longwood and here I have lived since then. I went to middle school and high school here. Some of the people I was friends with, I have reconnected with recently as we are all having children and now our lives have something in common. When you are in high school you think that you will be friends with these people for ever. But in reality after high school a lot of people move off in different directions and when you have a family that seems to be most important. Some went to college and some began their families right away. But either way, now we all have our families and all is right in the world. I went a long time since high school that I really didnt have close friendships. I have had some here and there but they always seem to disappear after awhile. Especially after I stopped partying. Then you realize those werent really your friends to begin with.

 So, back to the background. I got married when I was 23 almost 24. I always planned to get married young. However at the time I was feeling like I would never meet anyone. My husband, Billy, was a good friend of mine. We spent a lot of time together as close friends. Although he had feelings for me for awhile before we started dating. Now that I look back on it, it almost seems magical. The way we were friends one day and the next day we were dating. A week later we were living together.. a few months past that and we were engaged. It seemed sudden to most people but not to us. I can remember people asking me if I was pregnant. I guess a lot of people were surprised. We didn't have the perfect marriage, no one does really. But the ups were a lot better than the downs.

We decided in Jan 2010 that we were ready to start a family and I stopped taking birth control. May 2010 we were pregnant. Those 38 weeks were something that I will never forget. Some people really enjoy being pregnant. I did at first but then I was just tired of being pregnant and not able to do anything. Especially because of all the swellings I experienced.  But through all the hardships I had my friends from school and my family to support me. That really meant a lot. Feb 10, 2011 Shane William Burgs was born! He is such an angel. I do not know why I did not have a baby earlier in life. I feel like I was born to be a mother. As I type he is sitting next to me on the couch, sleeping in his boppy. That is all for now, time for work!
