finding mr. right.
my fiancee and i met back in June 2006, at a little kid's party at his mom's house. as soon as i walked in, his mom, which i've known since i was little, introduced me to Miguel. he looked so handsome, with his faded jeans and dark hair combed back. we talked a bit at the party, and we danced. i didn't think we'd talk again. but, a couple of weeks later, my mother told his mom that i was having computer trouble, and since Miguel is a computer expert, he came over and fixed my crappy desktop. we talked, flirted and he left with my number. eventually we went out on a date. he was so nice. by September 24, we started dating. we had our ups and downs, but he has been my rock ever since. its been 5 years, i love him with everything i have. we have a beautiful baby boy named Gianni and another boy on the way. i can't imagine life without him or my baby. i thank God for the family he has blessed me with.
Gianni, our unexpected blessing.
trying to have a baby was easier said than done. my fiancee and i tried to get pregnant for 2 years with no results. we got to one point where we just gave up. i know that i was too young to be a mom, but my fiancee was my life, and after a couple of health scares that he went through, we talked it over and tried to make a baby. by my senior year, he moved in with me. everything was going well, we had a car, our room and everything. he had a job, as did i. babies we definitely not on our minds. by the beginning of march 2010, i started feeling off. i was constantly dozing off in my first period class and i went without a period. i wasn't surprised that i was late, i'm super irregular. but my body just didn't feel right. well, i bought a pregnancy test while i went out shopping with my mom and mother-in-law. i hid the tests in my bag so they wouldn't hassle me. i get home, take the tests and nearly puke when i read the positive result. i seriously had a "i want my mommy" moment. i was shaking. scared that my mom would be mad at me. but regardless, i told her, she was beyond happy, his mom began to cry. i was shocked at their reactions. my fiancee was the last to find out, he was on bed rest after a pretty bad fall, and his mom nearly jumped on him excited. he just looked at the test the gave me a reassuring wink.
Gianni was born November 27, 2010 at 11:20 am. he was 5lbs 8.5oz and was 19.5 inches long. i was induced at 36 weeks due to gestational hypertension problems. but thankfully he was healthy. he was in my belly when i graduated high school with full honors. and i was pregnant when i completed my medical assistant training. he was my drive to complete my education. now he's almost 1, growing strong. i love my little boy, he is my world.
