I always struggle to know what to say about myself, Firstly my name is Amy, I have been involved on our Facebook page for roughly 2 years now. I'm 27 and a mother to 2 beautiful children a daughter Keira who is 4 and a son Gabriel who is 2.5 years old, we are currently expecting our 3rd and final child in April this year (2014). I am married to the father of my children, we recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary.
I personally don't have a parenting style, my daughter was bottle fed which broke my heart but it also opened my eyes that a healthy happy fed baby is far more important than where they get their milk, despite having such a negative experience with breastfeeding I was determined to try again but second time around I didn't place as much pressure on myself and successfully fed our son until he self weaned at 13 months. I again will try to breastfeed our last child but until my baby is here I wont know what direction things will lead us this time.
My first ever pregnancy resulted in a ruptured ectopic where I almost lost my life, I had presented to our emergency department several times leading up to the event and was told I was having a miscarriage and to go home and ride it out, unfortunately I seem to have a rather high pain threshold (plus I'm stubborn) by the time I realized things weren't normal I had been bleeding internally for some time.
I live in Australia, our health care is free, our schooling is low cost or in most cases free, we have great government financial support for families (despite what some would say) I personally work outside the home, I would love to be a stay at home mum but our circumstances require me to work but fortunately its a few hours each week day morning. I love my job, I work in admin and occasionally management in our local public hospital.
