My name is Ashley && I live in Wisconsin.
I am19 years old; I will blow out 20 candles onJune 6th
I am currently a CNA at a nursing home && I am 3/4 student in college majoring in Radiography && Diagnostic Medical Sonogaphy.



When I got pregnant I vowed to myself that I would make a life for my family && I am sticking true to that no matter how hard.
I got pregnant soon after my 17th birthday. The only choice I had was to keep the pregnancy && it happened to be the best choice of my life. Now i am pregnant again with number 2 and at first I would look at Romin and just feel really bad just because I dont want Romin to ever feel pushed aside but now that I am getting farther along and Im getting really excited and its a GIRL!! :]

On February 6th 2008 --Romin Saumel Seth Conniff was brought into this world via c-section. I cried when I seen him && when I first held him. He was && still is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.

I am VBAC hopful with this baby; I do not want another c-section ever again. Every mother deserves to bond with their child right away after birth.








We recently found out that my 3 year old nephew had cerebral palsy. He is the sweetest little boy ever and for this to happen to him is heart breaking. I love him so much and I just hope that with the technology now days he will be able to live a pretty normal life. God Bless you Ashtin James. He is not attending Madisons childrens hospital to get cortizone shots and physical therapy.




I am also a Pro Choice I momma. I believe that women have the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies, abortion is not for me but I believe the option should be open to others. And if you really think about it if the mother doesnt really want the child and keeps it, what kind of life will they have?





Also I believe we should all be spreading the word about suicide, I recently had my uncle commit suicide. God Rest Your Soul, We love you.

Thank you for the comment. You're LO is really adorable! I see you're expecting again..CONGRATS! When do you find out what you're having? You hoping for a girl this time? Hope everything goes well with your pregnancy!
