My name is Sarah. I'm 20 years old. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and we have a little boy. His name is Kaedyn and he's his daddy's spitting image and his momma's world. I love my husband and my son more than anything. I work full-time at atravel centerand I'm going to college to become an EMT. I want to eventually be a Paramedic. I'm so excited to finish school and get a better job. I'm tired of always being so broke. What better job is there in the world then to save lives?   I'm always trying to better myself. We only have a short time on this planet so its important to make the best of it!
My kind of parenting involves...
breastfeeding, extended rear-facing, no solids til 5-6 months, book reading, teaching and developing, cuddling, hugging & kissing, baby wearing, and much more thats just some things that are important to my husband and I.

~Contests we've won~

Hey,
I just saw your post about Kaedyn getting bit in daycare, and I hope the little guy is doing better. I actually had to quit my job to stay home with Dorian, because there were bullies in the older kids groups who would come to the toddler group and hit and bite the small children and the teachers couldn't/ wouldn't do anything. Besides, it cost me $275 a week!
