An Introduction

Hello and Welcome!
My name is Jessica. This isn't my first attempt at keeping a blog, but it certainly is my most formal. I've never built one up from scratch before so please forgive me if I'm slow! I figured an Introduction would make for an excellent first post.
As I said before, I'm Jessica. I'm 24 (25 in less than a week...Yikes!), married for a little over 3 years and a mother of two young boys. Aiden Gregory is my first son. He is almost 4 years old, and he is my sensitive little man. For the most part, he is well behaved and a pleasure to take everywhere. He is a goofy little boy, but he's also smart and very curious about the world around him. Jaxon Lawrence is my second son, and he is almost 3 years old. Jaxon is a firecracker. He is ALWAYS on the go and always getting in to things. (Things that he usually shouldn't be getting in to.) He is full of energy and life and his smile lights up any room he's in. Where Aiden tends to be a little more soft spoken, there is no mistaking Jaxon's voice, laugh, cry, scream...Jaxon has been a more difficult child to parent. Although he is more affectionate than his brother, he is also more disobedient. I love my kids more than absolutely anything in this world. Part of my reason for starting this blog is to talk about my experiences with parenting and hopefully I can reach out to people, share some tips and tricks and learn some things along the way!
My husband's name is Phillip. We met and started dating in 2008. It was strange how natural it was to be with him. I had never had a serious relationship before him, and we've both experienced a lot of "firsts" with each other. We had a rough go of things at first, but that is something for another post. Our bond is strong, though, and we always overcome what is thrown at us.
Phillip and I are currently expecting our 3rd (and final!) child. I am due in May of 2014, anywhere between the 5th and the 14th depending on when the doctors plan on scheduling the surgery. This will be my third C-section. I am excited for this baby, and I can't wait to share this journey with everyone.
Since having kids, I discovered my intense passion for labor and delivery. I am not sure if that has something to do with my inability to have children the natural way, or if I would have discovered it eventually anyway. Since my first son was born by emergency C-section, all of my following births must be C-sections according the hospital and doctors here in my town. I had heard of rumors of a clinic in a town not far from me that allowed VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) , but I decided against it for my third pregnancy due to my not being in the best of health. Before I became pregnant with my third, I had made the decision to go back to school to become a nurse, specifically a labor and delivery nurse. The road to that is more complicated than I anticipated and I have had a difficult time in school, especially this semester. More on that in the future.
My life is full of this and that, and yet I still struggle to find what I'm meant to do. I know I want to better myself for the sake of my children. One day I want them to look back and be proud of the decisions I made and the person that I am-or the person that I want to become.
I look forward to expanding on things and keeping you up to date on my daily life.
Welcome to my journey.
Always,
Jessica
