“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger.

Caellum Shain, born June 2nd at 2:23 PM at 37+4. He's perfect, 6 lb 15 oz and 20 inches. He's been such a good baby, lots of sleeping and he has latched on quite a few times and sucked but he doesn't stay on long lol. Hoping he picks it up soon. It was a long labor, about 24 hours. He was born with the assistance of a vacuum because he did not want to come on his own, he had his head turned a way that no matter how much I pushed he would not get free. One push push with the vacuum and he was alm...
