Welcome to My World

Let me start my blog off with a little about myself. My name is Suelaine AKA Susie. Youngest of 6! I got married at 19 years old and wow that was a curve ball in my life.

There I was thinking, "I'm going to have the perfect marriage. I love him so much!" Truth is it's not a walk in the park. Marriage takes a lot of work! It didn't make it any easier that I got pregnant about 2 months after. By our first anniversary we had our first baby (Russell). Of course we were very happy and eager to have a baby and I at least had diaper changing experience with my nephews and nieces. But no amount of diaper changing can prepare you for having a baby with you all the time.. especially with our young mentalities at the time. We made it through the first 2 years with lots of arguments and "leave already"s but we were determined to not give up on each other or our family. When Russell was a year and a half, I got it in my head that I wanted him to have a sibling just by seeing his tender reaction to his baby cousin. I got pregnant immediately but sadly had miscarriage at 11 weeks. That didn't stop us  from trying so after Russell's second birthday I got pregnant again. The following year I had a c-section (she was my breached baby)  to bring my daughter, Vivianna, into the world. After we had her we thought our family of 4 was complete. It felt so right to have her home with us! uh-hem... 2 months after she turned one... my baby fever flared up again. Only because my son was going to be 4 years old and I thought if we were going to have another baby, I wanted them to be close in age. A day before my daughters 2nd birthday we had our little Sarah. That's where my life is at now. I am very content to have my three kids and am definitely not planning on another one, which probably explains the dog. We adopted Onyx (a lab mix) one week ago. So there you have it 25 years old, 5 (almost 6) years married, 3 kids, 1 dog and Otto, our Guinea Pig. Well, this should make for an interesting blog!
