I am Sarah, and I am 21 years old. I will be 22 February 11. While I am not the only one in this community with a child, I am the only one expecting baby number two. I know some people think I am absolutely nuts, but I swear I am not! I LOVE children, and I LOVE being a mom and I always wanted to be finished having kids before I am 23 because I WANT to be a young mom. While some people really disagree with my decisions, I am perfectly content and I am very happy with my choices in life.



This is my absolute pride and joy. Nathan, 2 years old. He will be 3 in May.... I cannot believe he is already so grown up. This is the little guy who i truly 100% believe saved my life. Before finding out I was pregnant, I was into a lot of stuff I should not have been. I was doing drugs, I was drinking, I was a mess. When I found out I was pregnant with Nathan, I literally turned my whole life around. I quit the cocaine, and the meth I was doing and I got completely clean. I look back now and I am so happy I did because now I see some of my old friends and where they've ended up. One friend is completely bald due to her use of meth and the fact her girlfriend, who is also a user, literally sits and picks imaginary bugs off of peoples head. I could not be happier that I was able to quit, cold - turkey. I am very, very proud of myself for that reason, to be honest.



He literally means the world to me and I don't remember much of my life before him because everything I did seems so small. I have a hard time remembering I had a life before him because now my whole life revolves around him.



Nathans father... He and I were together for a while. we had a messy relationship and for Nathans best interest we split up. we did not want to continue to scream at each other and fight over everything because it just was not healthy for Nathan.


So, after he and I finally ended things, I ended up talking to Joshua. He and I hit it off really well and when we first began talking, we wasted no time and we began spending a lot of time with each other. I put off introducing him to Nathan, but when i did, they bonded very fast. Josh and I have SO much in common, he and I lived in Texas... Just a few towns apart. We both really love that small town feel. He and I worked together, but we started talking through MySpace when he saw me on a friend of a friends profile. He and I spent several months bonding and within just months I knew I was meant to be with this guy. He's seriously the macaroni to my cheese.

Within the first few months of us being together, I got very sick and he actually spent a lot of time making me feel better. He spent days each week at the gyno with me and when I ended up in the hospital in surgery, he was by my side the entire time. Not only that, but he went and picked Nathan up from his dads and josh kept him, took care of him overnight, just so I could see my son at the hospital.




currently, I work at Liberty Mutual, the insurance company. The pay is amazing and the job is awesome. I handle policies and I help people make changes to their coverage. I love my job. Josh actually works there as well, so it's refreshing because we both have great, stable jobs.


Me, Josh and Nathan

Bone

Cali

Blue Cheese (Yes, Nathan named his fish by himself)

We have made a great family. We have a great house

And we are going to be having a baby girl, Emma.


Theres not much more to my life, but its really a great one.

I have that tank Nathan uses for Blue Cheese but I keep my turtle in it!

Also, Nathan is getting so big! I remember back when you were pregnant and then when you had him, he was so small! I'm glad to see you're happy with everything. :) You seem like a great mommy!

Aww! If you get him a small red-eared slider, he can keep it in a small tank. They grow to fit their surroundings, so if it stays in a little tank, it will stay little. Make sure it gets lots of sunlight and UV rays and stuff though. The heat and sunlight help it digest its food and it can get the soft shell disease if it doesn't which is sad. :(

And you're welcome! He's just as adorable as the day I first saw him. :)

Wow, you should be proud of yourself! I watched my uncle struggle with cocaine and other drugs when I was younger (he's only 28), and it was terrible. I have so much respect for you. And your family is adorable! :)

I have to say I am incredibly impressed with your story - you are the kind of success that everyone hopes for in those sorts of situations! I'm happy that you found something in your life that gave you meaning and helped you turn your life around - that's no small thing, and should absolutely be recognized.

I can't imagine being a parent myself (I can't have kids), but you do what makes you happy, and that's just it...I respect that immensely. :) It seems like you're more than capable of making things work to find your happiness, and I'm glad you've found it! Your family looks absolutely charming, and Nathan is so big!

When are you expecting Emma? That must be really exciting for you!
