My name is Janna. I am a 23 year old mommy of 4. I will be married one year as of this month.
I am starting a blog to help me get through the day to day challenges. I live a great life but it isn't always easy. I have 4 kids that keep me busy 24/7. My oldest is a boy, Christian who is 4 years old. Then a girl, Chloe who is 3. My other two twin girls are 7 months old this month, Keeley and Kaileena. I get to spend a lot of time with my Husband, Chris which is very important to me. Right now I am a stay at home mom which is what I love doing the most.
I found out I was pregnant with Christian 4 days after I graduated from High School. I was scared and excited at the same time. I was too young to understand at the time, but my life was about to change forever. Christian was the best baby I could have ever asked for. I wasn't ready at that time to have another baby but was talked into it when Tim (Christians Father) wanted to have another baby. I agreed that it would be best to have kids that were close in age so that they could be as close as my brother, Andy, and I were growing up.
Chloe was born one year after Christian on his birthday. Chloe was also a wonderful baby. It took me longer to form a bond with her. I think it was because I felt forced to get pregnant again and also that I didn't want to give any of the love away that I had already given to Christian.
Having two amazing kids didn't fix the relationship I was in. I found that out only 3 months after getting married to their father that I made a bad choice. I gave up on the relationship, then tried my hardest, then gave up, then tried again. I was confused and it took me a long time and the help of friends and family to find myself through the long process. After all the hurt and pain I put myself through I decided to never do that to myself again. Family and my kids would always come first.
I will be married for one year this month to my wonderful Husband Chris. We have gone through ups and downs. This year has not been easy, but it has been worth it. Everyone says the first year is the hardest. If that is true then we have made it through our first year still saying I love you everyday. It doesn't matter if we are happy or fighting, at the end of the day I know with all my heart that he is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. He accepted me and my two kids as his own. I could never tell him enough how strong of a man I think he is for doing that.
We always talked about having kids together, but it came as a big surprise when we found out that we were having twin girls. I found out during my pregnancy how great of a father Chris was going to be. He took great care of me even through all of my bitching. He also made sure I was healthy so the babies would be healthy. Christian and Chloe were great babies so I thought it would be just as easy with the two new family members.
Keeley and Kaileena were born 5 weeks early. It is normal for twins to be preemies but it did not make it easy on us at all. The babies are more fussy and need more attention then a single baby would. You want to pull your hair out and bail some of the time. Then one single smile from them or the contagious laugh they have can make it all worth it. They wont be babies forever so everyday we work at it and work on our family.
This blog may make it seem like the only thing I am is a stay at home mom, but I'm not. I am much more then that. There is so much more about me to learn and I would love to share it with everyone.
