How it all began:

I met Kailey's dad through a friend. After meeting him she asked if I liked him and I said I thought he was cute. Once we started talking, we hit it off pretty good. We had some good times together. He was staying with me, he was being a great father-figure to Karli, feeding her and giving her baths, playing with her and teaching her new things. Before we even found out I was pregnant we were engaged to be married. A few weeks later he told me I was eating like a fat cow and I said yeah I feel different. So I took a pregnancy test and BAM positive! After a little while I brought up the nerve to tell him he should get a job and help me out since we had a baby on the way. He decided selling weed was the way to go! I don't do drugs. I don't tolerate drugs around my kids. As much as I cared about him, I had to let him go. I called off the engagement and sent him on his way. He put himself in rehab to prove himself to me that he can be a good father. I never doubted that, I saw how he was with Karli, I knew he was going to be a good father..but in my mind once a pot head always a pot head. And with the group of friends he had I knew the temptation was always going to be there for him. I had a scheduled c-section this time with Kailey. She came right on time and gave me hell too. I was hurting for weeks before the doctor finally said "ok you can have her!" the contractions were PAINFUL. He was still in rehab but his mother and sister were there for her birth. They have all been there since day one. They came to see her almost everyday until I was ready to let her go stay a night or two. She is now 14 months old and they still get her almost every weekend and sometimes during the week too.. Anytime I need them, they are there. I am very thankful Kailey has a family that loves her and a daddy that loves her and is always there for her. She is lucky to have a father like him. Me and her dad are still friends, we have managed to maintain our friendship everything else left behind us. If I were ever given the oppruitunity to work things out with him, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be happy with him like that. I'm just glad we can all get along and be friends. Kailey is a beautiful babygirl. She is chunky like her dad and is already as big as her sister. She is my angel.

I love both of my babygirls with all of my heart, and having them have made me who I am today.
