I'm Kelly. 20 years old & a mommy to Dylan Bradley who was born on June 12, 2009 @ 4:27pm! He is my whole world and I never knew what a mothers love for her child was until I had him. He is getting bigger by the day and it felt like yesterday he was my little non-moving newborn and now I can't keep him still lol. I currently babysit my nephew for my sister while she works and goes to school. It helps her not have to put him in daycare and same with my son. I plan on starting college in the summer semester if everything goes as planned. I want to become a Registered Nurse and possibly work in labor and delivery! I think it is a special thing to be able to assist pregnant women who are having babies and also be witness to babies being born. I wasn't able to watch my son be born because I was more focused on pushing (lol) but I wish I could have! But my mom & SO say it was the best thing they have ever seen happen.

My SO is my angel. He came out from left field many years ago. We have known each other about 4 years prior to getting together. I was in a pretty bad relationship when he came back into my life as a friend. Well it took me about a year after my last relationship to realize I had someone who would love me, care about me and do anything I want or ask. We have been together almost 2 years but technically should have been like 3 years but I was stubborn!
