[Graleyne]

I had my first daughter at 18. I was definitely NOT ready. I had my son at 20 - I wasn't ready then either. My youngest was born when I was 27, and I will admit that I STILL wasn't ready.

I love my kids with all my heart. They are definitely blessings, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

I don't think I'll be winning any mother of the year awards, but we've all managed to survive. We've dealt with me just being pregnant and grumpy. We've dealt with post partum depression, we've dealt with me just being flat out overwhelmed. We've met our challenges head on and we've come out stronger and closer.
