My name is Brenda and i am 20 years old. I have been married to my husband joe for almost a year. We started dating in 7th grade but broke up in the tenth. After not going more than a week without seeing each other for almost 2 years we got back together before graduation and were married on 9/8/07. We know we are young but when you are meant to be togehter you just know.







We found out we are expecting on January 3rd. We were suprised but were never regretful or anything. We are looking forward to doing this together and couldnt be happier. We heard the heartbeat on February 18th, it was 165. It was the most amazing sound ive ever heard. On April 18th we had our first ultrasound and they told us its a girl. There is a small chance it could be a boy but for now were going with the pink clothes. Her name is Padyn, still undecided middle name haha. We are due on September 11th and i cannot wait to hold her in my arms and see whos been kicking me all this time.

We recently moved back in with my parents because my dadwas dying of Lung cancer. He did get to meet my little girl but sadly he passed away on October 7th, 2008. He battled long and hard and I am so glad his suffering is over. He will always be in my heart andI will miss him every day.My mom is my best friend and we are each others support system. I dont know what i would do without her. Me and Joe have the basement apartment to ourselves (we pay rent and our own bills) so its not crowded or anything. We have 2 bedrooms and a bathroom plus a kitchen and living room. We did her nursery in jungle theme and it is ADORABLE.

I gave birth to my little dramaqueen on September 6th, 2008 at 10:02 pm.She is absolutly the love of my life and i couldnt behappier.

On November 7th I was diagnosed with Chrons Disease. There is no cure for it and I will live with intestinal problems for the rest of my life. I am still learning about the disease and how to cope with it.
