I know it's easy for me to say this, but I don't think you should let money stop you from starting your family. I don't know how you can arrange to have a girl first, but I believe that the money part usually can work itself out if it's needed. Good luck!Liahttp://stressdom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-35783441793220457082007-11-16T10:44:11.000+11:002007-11-16T10:44:11.000+11:00Me too to everything here.

And I feel extremely fat, even though I am usually a size 6 or 8. It is probably vanity sizing that has saved me from double digits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-87516194724059349792007-11-16T11:15:02.000+11:002007-11-16T11:15:02.000+11:00Thanks for posting!

Anyway, I hope you stay in good spirits and remember that from what I've heard most people aren't ready to have a baby, but when they do they find a way.

I think we are all entitled to feel however we want about our bodies, since they are "our bodies". I hope that my husband and I are ready for kids in a few years, hopefully you will be graced with a little girl your first time around!! I know it's super early, but any name thoughts?

No one at my work knows that I blog and to be honest they don’t really care I could get run over tomorrow & the only thing they would be worried about would be that there was no milk! <br>Only a few family members know about my user name and they know all about me anyway and I am an open book R say I give too much of myself anyway but that is just the way I am , my heart is on my sleeve! I’ve learned to hold back a little but I find it’s hard not to be myself.<br>I used grungedandy as firstly no one had used it at all when I came up with it and I wanted to start my own website. It’s a mix of the two styles of artwork I like to do and music I like and me! Secondly I could be a boy or a girl (I’ve outed myself as a girl recently as people assumed I was a boy) and thirdly I had a very bad abusive relationship with an Middle Eastern ex army assassin for 3 years who stalked me when it went wrong & HE dumped me after HE got another girl pregnant & made HER have an abortion (she knew nothing about me & was too dumb to realise all the photos of me around the place where not of his sister!) but then HE wouldn’t leave me alone to get on with my life for about another 3 years! Oh and I found out later that he had raped someone while on duty apparently on orders she was a spy and deserved it.!!!! I was a victim of rape and he knew about this, which took me a while to get over as I did love him, in my defence I was young, it was all very romantic to start with, he made me happy, we did have good times and he was very, very beautiful and I’m not! (Not looking for compliments just stating the facts)<br>I don’t want him to find me EVER I don’t think I’m strong enough to hold it together I pretend to everyone that I am but I think I would loose it if he found me again (and I’m a F**king black belt because of fear of him and would probably hold a gun licence if I could & learn how to use it but I think that if you’ve got one someone else might end up using it against you so I don’t!) <br>Ok that turned into a rant! I should probably have put it on a large postcard and sent it to that guy but I figured most people don’t go looking back through posts & comments so I’m safe-ish so long as I’ve not scared you Alyndabear off I’m not so damaged I promise only where GIT what I call it is concerned! LoL I’ve had no contact for over 6 years now so should be good!
