Lets start with this, My name is Katy and I'm a 21 year old single mom to a beautiful new baby girl named Aislyn Grace. She's wonderful and you will probably be hearing alot about her.
Aislyn is 5 weeks and 1 day old today. In one way it feels like I've had her forever, I can't even remember what I did before she came along - but in another way I still feel like my head is spinning and its so unreal. It's just hard for me to believe that I have a baby. I have a baby - even after being up every single night and day with her. Don't get me wrong , I love her more than I thought you could love anyone.. But its exhausting and overwhelming being a single mom. I have even more respect for my own mom - if thats possible.
My mom has also been amazing, not that thats anything new - she has always been amazing. But I've really needed her since Aislyn was born, before then really. I have lupus and fibromyalgia so I was sick before I got pregnant, but thats another story for another day. She is waking up, So I will work on this more tonight when I get her settled. :)
