So a lil about me....I'm married to my high school sweetheart, and now have three sons, Devon, Thalen, Dadrin (Dade)and a little girl, Celestine
I'm also a Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator. I LOVE my work. :-)
Well... lets see what else? I'm Hella shy, til I get to know the person, then I'm chattier than hell. I'm always willing to make new friends, but am a bit particular about which friends I get close too and keep in my life for the long haul.
I think I'm in a hangout mode in my life right now, occasional parties are GREAT, but I like to just kick back, have a nice toasty warm beverage, coffee, tea, hot coco (with marshmallows of course!)and hangout with my friends.

We had our 3rd little boy join our family August 6th 2010 at 5am. His name is Dadrin Ried (pronounced Day-dren Reed).
Dadrin is Welsh (which we have on my mothers side of the family)and means to solve of mystery (a lil dective? ;-) Ried is shorten from Riedl which was hubbys Granmothers Maiden last name.
Our little Dade (what we cal him from time to time) was 9lbs 14oz and 21inches long. I tease saying that I gave birth to a 10lbs Bowlingball! He was almost exactly 1 week overdue and I had to go in to be induced (which didnt take much to get going there since I had been have on & off contractions for almost a month). I ALMOST had to wait another week to go in to be induced because they didnt have rooms first thing in the morning. I cant imagine how big he would have been if we DID end up waiting that long... I think we would have had to have a C-Section, Because I could barely push him out.
Funny thing about his weight... is that a month before we delivered I remember telling the Doctor that "this one felt heavier" She just chuckled and told me it was because I had 3 babys already so my body was most likely more sensitive and proned to feel like there was more pressure. (in otherwords - Your older and your body is feeling worn hunny).
But I was right cause he WAAAAS bigger. infact he is now the biggest. My Dev was nearly 9lbs (8lbs 15oz to be exact), Thalen & Celestine barely over 8lbs. Then WHAM a ten pounder! lol
funny thing, I gained only 8 lbs while preggo, but was 20lbs lighter than I had been before I had gotten pregnant! Which means I lost 28lbs after giving birth! nice weith loss program. If I was about 3 years younger I'd consider going through it all again lol but WITH pain meds.
Yes 4 babys from 8 to 10 pounds... and no epideral, no knock out juice and pushed no more than 10 minutes and averaged about 6 hours of active labor.
If it sounds like I'm bragging... its because I AM! lol I am really proud that I can say I did 4 hospital births about as close to naturally as one can without it being an emergency situation.
So there we have it. Four. Wholy crap! a number I never thought I'd actually reach in the children department.
