Hello! My name is Valeri, and I just figured I would introduce myself and tell you all a bit about me and how I came to be a part of this group. First off, I am a mommy of four children, Trinity-10; Saben-7; Alera-6; Ivye-5. They are viewable in my profile pic. Secondly, I work full time as an Army Supply Sergeant in Texas. (Read: boring) My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year. To be bluntly honest, we had just reached the point in our relationship where we decided that we didn't need to talk about marriage any time soon, or talk about having a kiddo. As, I have 4, and he already had 2. Cue me becoming extremely moody, like pissed off at every little thing...and I thought, honey...I am getting back on my meds for my PTSD from my deployment. (upon meeting me, you would think that my predisposition for being silly...sarcastic...and odd to be quite charming) So, I went back to the doc...3 hours later he tells me, "I cannot prescribe you any medicine, as I do not feel safe doing so." I respond with "Ummm...okay...uh..." and he said "As it seems you have a little bit of pregnancy in your blood..." I further respond with "what in the world does that mean? I'm pregnant?!" So...here I am...with a poorly timed...but extrememly huge blessing from the Lord a-brewing in my belly. I have miscarried three times in my life...hoping I don't have a fourth...boyfriend is nervous and worrisome...but happy. Nice to meet everyone...and am excited about this upcoming 8 months!!
