⭐My name is Ericka Gean Dingler. I am 20 years young and I have a wonderful husband who just so happens to be my high school sweetheart. I'm a G.R.I.T.S of good ol Alabama. I am a mommy of 2, angel baby and Vada Nyx. Being a mom is my job and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world!
⭐Labor Story: My DD was March 22. Babygirl arrived 9 days ahead of schedule. My contractions started on March 4th, my bday, at 5 minutes apart. A week later, March 12, my Dr said my cervix was still tightly closed. At 1am on March 13 I went to the hospital thinking my water broke. I was 1cm, contractions 5 minutes apart. I came home around 330am. At 5am contractions were 3 minutes apart, and at 6am my water officially broke in bed. I went back to the hospital at 830am, got the epidural at 1045am, started pushing at 705pm and finally met our babygirl at 737pm. Best day of our lives!

My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“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...
