Hey all! Well, let's see....My name is Beth and I'm 24 years old. I'm from Southern California, born and raised! I grew up in the valley and moved to 29 palms in 2005 and then back to the valley in 2007. Now I'm living in Oceanside with my hubby, Patrick, who is a US Marine. He's originally from Georgia and I gotta say, I love my southern boy! I've never felt the way I feel about Patrick with anyone before. It still amazes me how much i adore him to this day. I look at him and still feel like I could explode with love and happiness. He's my best friend and the love of my life. He's set to get out of the military in about 2 years but I'm pretty sure he'll be staying in for a while longer.
In May 2008, I was completely shocked when I got a BFP. We had not been TTC and I had taken the test just for some peace of mind because I was a couple days late. Then, low and behold...two pink lines! At first i was shocked and scared, but very quickly, the excitement set in. Then at the end of July, I had a miscarriage. It was completely heartbreaking. It was especially hard because EXACTLY 24 hours after my miscarriage started, my best friend's water broke. So the day after I lost my baby, my best friend gave birth to her daughter. I thought it would be so difficult, but I was so happy for my best friend and still am. It's weird, but I feel like I have a special connection with little Hannah and I am even considered an Auntie in her family.
So now, my husband and I are being TTC. We want to start a family and losing our baby made it that much more clear.
