hello my name is mary,

I AM 27 YEAR OLD WHO HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD, BUT IT SEEM LIKE SOMETIMES I'M DEALING WITH TWO. MY FIANCE IS A BIG HELP IN RAISING OUR SON...HE BELIEVES IN TRIAL AND ERROR IN RASING A CHILD. WHICH IS SO OPPOSITE OF ME-I BELIEVE IN READING CHILDREN BOOKS, GETTING ADVICE FROM OTHER MOMS, AND DOCTORS...WE BOTH BELIEVE IN RAISING A CHILD WITH OUT ANGER WE HATE YELLING AT EACH OTHER AND IF WE DO WE APOLOGIZE IN FRONT OF OUR SON SO HE CAN KNOW THAT ANGER ISN'T A COMMUNICATION THAT HE NEEDS TO LEARN. OUR SON IS AT THE STAGE WHERE ONCE ITS IN HIS HANDS HE FEELS LIKE THIS IS MINE AND HE YELLS AND WHINES THE MOMENT YOU TAKE IT AWAY! WERE HAPPY TO BE THREE AND THERE IS NO FOUR IF WE CAN EVER HELP IT- WE BOTH BELIEVE WERE DONE...HAVING CHILDREN BUT IF FOR ANY CHANCE WE DO DECIDE TO HAVE ANOTHER WE WANT TO ADOPT BECAUSE WE BELIEVE SO MANY CHILDREN GO WITH OUT THE LOVE OF PARENTS AND WE FEEL BAD AND SOME HOW WE KNOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I WANT A GIRL AND HE MAY WANT ANOTHER BOY BUT TO BE HONEST I AM WILLING TO WAIT UNTIL MY SON IS AT LEAST 5 TO START WITH THE CHOICE IN HAVING ANOTHER. WERE BOTH GLAD WE SURVIVE THE FIRST YEAR AND NOW WERE HOPING TO SURVIVE THE SECOND YEAR!

ONE STEP AT A TIME...TAKES A DAY AT A TIME....

my favorite qoutes!

"Children smile 400 times a day on average ... adults 15 times. Children laugh 150 times a day ... adults 6 times per day. Children play between 4-6 hours a day ... adults only 20 minutes a day. What's happened "

When I first saw you I was afraid to talk to you, when i first talked to you I was afraid to like you, when I liked you I was afraid to love you, now that I love you I'm afraid to lose you
