Day 1

Well, I'm laura, but I'm assuming most of you already knew that. I'm 22 years old, I live in South Dakota with my husband Jon and 20 month old daughter Dylan. I am a stay at home mom and also run a photography business, but being a mom will always be my first and most important job. We lost our son Elijah on April 25, 2010, from complications caused by trisomy 13, and miss him more than ever. This year, we are expecting our third child, due September 13, 2011. We are so excited and happy to report that everything looks healthy and normal with this pregnancy. 


15 interesting facts about me:

1. My eyes are two different colors, one is blue and the other is half blue half brown.
2. I still have a baby tooth, the permanent tooth was missing so I never lost my baby tooth.
3. I don't really like ice cream (unless it is coffee flavored) but I love frozen yogurt.
4. I don't eat anything that lives in water, so no fish for me.
5. I graduated high school early and moved out of state to live on my own before turning 18
6. I can't stand the sound of people brushing their teeth, it makes me cringe every time.
7. I once wore my hair like Baby Spice for an entire year, how embarrassing is that?
8. I absolutely hate lady bugs and I am terrified of butterflies.
9. I am one of those annoying people who sanitize everything and obsess about germs.
10. When I was little I wanted to live on a farm, become and artist, and have 8 kids.
11. Sometimes I go through phases where I sleep with my head at the foot of the bed.
12. I fell in love with my husband three years before we even started dating.
13. I enjoy playing a good game of Counterstrike or Call of Duty.
14. I toured with the Band Bowling for Soup for a few weeks once.
