My name is Deanna and I live in Pa with my SO. He has full custody of his 4-year-old son and we have a brand new baby boy together
I am 23, he's 31 and it works for us. We have a pain in the butt puppy named Nikita and 2 guinea pigs.
My first pregnancy was in January 2010 in a previous relationship. I got pregnant on accident, we were not being careful enough, but I would have loved and cherished that baby anyway. However, I went in for my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and found out the baby had stopped growing around 6 weeks. I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage and ended up needing a D&C.
I met my SO in August 2010, shortly after my previous relationship ended. We started dating and in February 2011 (after a lot of serious discussions) we decided to TTC. I got my positive on June 26, 2011.

I woke up at 7am on March 3, 2012 with period-like bleeding. My water started leaking at 9:30am. I went to the hospital to get checked around 12:30pm and at 3pm the doctor confirmed that my water had broke. I was 2 cm when I was admitted. After 17 hours of pitocin I was only 3 cm. Damian was born on March 4, 2012 at 11:02am via c-section. He weighed 7lbs 10oz and was 20 1/4 inches long.
