About Me
I'm 32, married, took me 3 1/2 yrs, but I'm pregnant now. I have RA. I've stopped all my drugs to get pregnant. I'm a teacher (disability now). I love to garden, camp, hike, walk in parks, do crafts and decorate. My hubby is very supportive and tries his best. I'm trying to not worry about things I can't control and just enjoy the good days.
