I am 21 years old and my husband is 30. We have been married for a year and a half. We're looking into having a child soon but seeking moral support as I don't have many close friends. My husband has a steady job and we both have 2-year degrees. He is working toward his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. We live in a house in the beautiful city of Fort Collins. I love animals and nature. My husband loves cars and guns. We have a pet ball python named Bo, a cat named Nikki, and two white doves: Iceman and Snowflake. We are planning on getting our first dog when our first child is about 4 or 5 years old so he/she can experience the joys of getting their first puppy!

I am 5'8" tall, athletic build, with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. When I was born I weighed 8 pounds, 11 ounces, so we think our kids will be fairly big. I'm a bit of a health nut - I love tea, smoothies, sushi, grilled meats, spinach salads, whole grains, and basically anything high in protein, fiber, vitamins or antioxidants! A healthy body starts from the inside out, so I try to eat all the right things. I love the outdoors, and I like to go hiking. We live near the mountains so there is a lot of recreation to be had. We are both wild spirits who like to party and have a great time. As parents we will encourage our children to think for themselves and discover their own truths.

All four of our parents live in the same state as us, which is great because our kids will be close to their grandparents. However, I'm not sure how well my parents are going to take it when I tell them I am 22 and pregnant... Regardless, I don't care. I'm living for me now; not my parents. On the flip side, I know for sure that my mother-in-law will be absolutely thrilled when I get pregnant because this will be her very first grandchild!!!

We are hoping for several boys and one (maybe two) girls as we create our family. My husband and I expect to be parents no later than November of 2011. I think we are going to start trying for our first baby in January of 2010 - hoping for a 10/10/10 baby! We really hope our first is a boy, but of course we'd be happy with a girl as well.

About my past: I had 2 abortions when I was 19 years old, with the same man I am married to. At the time, we were both unwed and unemployed, and I knew I wasn't ready for a child. I don't really think of them as angel babies because I don't believe in afterlife anyway. But there are days when I feel bad (ashamed, remorseful) about the whole experience. Abortion is not an "easy way out" as critics always like to say. It's a very difficult and depressing option, and you will remember it for the rest of your life. The fact that I had an unplanned pregnancy once was shocking and terrifying to me; but imagine my disappointment and grief when it happened again, 4 months later. I always tell myself that a baby at the time was not an option, no matter what, period. I hadn't even met my lover's family yet, and I didn't want their first impression of me to be "Hi, I'm Jen, your son's pregnant mistress!" Anyway, if you can't accept that I am Pro Choice, please don't send me hatemail. Just leave me alone. I'm finally starting to recover mentally from what happened in 2007 and I don't need anyone ripping open my wounds.
