HI!!! let me just say thank you for reading I hope you enjoy this, also hope I get better at this. Somethings (a lot) about me: my name is Alex. I married my first and only true love. We met when we were just twelve years old and feel in love I instantly. Lucky for me he felt it too. we started to date for all of three days. day one f us being together was the same day we met. yes I know, “who dates some one they only met that day?” well I did. He moved away and I haven’t see or heard from him for three years! I was heart broken. Fist day of high school, as you may know the most stressful day to any teen, there he was. Walked in my forth period class and “BAM!” THE fist love staring right at me. As if by design, he still loved me. we talked about our life and our dreams, you know actually getting to know each other, we realized that we were meant to be.
When we turned 18 we got married. A little after a year of marriage I found out I was pregnant. At first we were so happy and excited, that was short lived, we started to become scared. at the time we just moved in a garage that was make into a studio like place. My husband was working at as an unloaded for a super store only making ten dollars an hour. As our tiny human grew we started having problems with the place were living at, they would not fix thing around the house even though they promised they would and they would be so strict with the rules and with payment, it became too much for use to handle. so moved back in with my parents. As I came close to my due date it was stressful. still only making ten dollars an hour me on bed rest and having to get things for the baby just ate us up.
December comes around and our baby girl was born via c- section. Let me tell you I was absolutely fearful. I have never had a surgery before, the closest I came to one was when I needed three small stiches. We heard that sound and you world just stops. That beautiful sound. The second I see her I know what unconditional love at first sight truly, TRULY was. We are happy beyond happy.
Jump for 3 months later. my husband and I made the more difficult choice of going to get our CDL, that mean we would have to leave our 3 moth old to go to school in another state. It was hard, but with little money it was what we needed to do. So we left. I tell you, we hated every moment of it we video chat our daughter every chance we got. She was healthy and happy, she was growing almost every day.
Shortly after we started working over the road trucking, hurricane Harvey hit. we live in south Texas so we went home. Due to issues with the company we worked for we quit. I also found out I was pregnant at this time. For 3 months my husband struggled to find a job. finally we found a job driving semis locally. The was really good. After a few months working at the new job. we had enough to move in an really nice apartment.
Six months later I had our twins girls . Yes I mean twins and yes more girls. ill get into more about at that experience another time. Ting were going well (sorta) for us but after a few months my husband had quit his well paying job. we get to that a little later as well.
Now he is a Stat-at-home dad and I have a 40 or more hours driving job. Let me tell you, some days it really sucks. I want to talk about the joy, beauty, the stress, the very ugly of being a parent. these are just my and my husband experiences, might include some stories from friends and family experiences of their parenting life. this is real life so not everything is going to be perfect. might be talk of depression and how that effect what we do and how we deal with certain things. Again everything will be posted is just based on experiences.
Thank you for reading. –stressed out mommy
