I was the first child born to my parents. Although it was not an easy birth. Placenta abrupt + emergency c-section = a healthy baby girl, 7lbs 7ozs.
-
During this time, I just want to get moving. I learn to sit up on my own, crawl, and stand on my own.
-
I found my security blanket, my thumb; I began thumb sucking at this time as a soothing activity. I enjoyed my favorite food, spaghetti. I’m not sure I enjoyed the taste or the fun of playing with it more.
-
My first word according to my mom was at 8months and it was “Dada”.
-
Your traditional get your hands into that cake birthday, Sesame Street themed of course.
-
I learn to walk on my own, look out here I come! (at 13months)
-
Classic Secure Attachment; Every time the song by Lionel Richie came on when I was in the car with my mom, I would just stop, stare and smile at her. She still tells the story to this day.
-
Since, I am going to be a big sister; this is a good time to start learning how to share.
-
My younger sister Jessica is born. Not sure what to think of her at this time.
-
I am a big girl now, away from my mom for a half of day!!
-
My baby brother is born, Matthew.
-
I got my first job, at a veterinary clinic.
-
I would look forward to the end of the school year, not to just be off of school. I would look forward to spending the night at my grandma's. I would stay as long as I could. I looked up tpo her so muc, attached to her hip.
-
After many many years of begging and pleading with our parents, we finally convince them to let us get a puppy. We pick up a 9week old australian shepherd, black and white. We name her Pepper. My siblings and I have a big responsibility now.
-
I graduated High School today. First step in going out into the real world now.
-
Suddenly, my grandmothers beautiful heart fails her and she becomes an angel in heaven.
-
I start the nursing program! I am enrolled in my first nursing class, pharmacology. Little did I know, I would meet three fellow classmates, whom would turn out to become part of my family. My three best friends.
-
One of my closet’s friends from nursing school, thought it would be a good idea to set me up on a blind date. Little did I know…….
-
I graduated from Nursing School. I have an associate’s degree in Nursing, though I have not yet turned 21 yet. My grandmother would be so proud!
-
Big mile stone in people’s lives, turning 21?! Look out here I come. Also in July, I passed my nursing boards!!! I am official now, I have a license in Michigan
-
I got my first job, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Livonia. I am just barley legal to vote and drink, scary to have my first job, taking care of people. Scared to be so young, how will people treat me?!
-
That blind date, turned out well. He (Scott) popped the question, while up north for a romantic getaway. He did good too
-
Scott and I are married.
-
We hope to make our first big purchase. We hope to buy and move into our first home by the end of the year.
-
We hope to have at least one child by this time, if not two.
-
Out ten year anniversary, we will celebrate it with a trip to Italy.
-
I will be done with my masters, and have my NP license
-
How about a third child?!
-
After the birth of our third child, I would love to be a stay at home mom. Reality will set in, hopefully I can cut work back to part time.
-
Win the lotto!!! ;)
-
I just want to be enjoying my life, watching my children grow up. Enjoy making memories with my family.
-
My parents will be in their 80's now, hopefully in decent health. Will be helping take care of them along with my sister and brother. Last resort, nursing home. Depending on their health they will live with one of us, kids.
-
Hopefully by 60 I will be retired. Though realistically I might have to work a little longer. Hopefully, my health will permit it.
-
Hopefully, by this stage in my life I will have continued to be happily married. I will for sure be retired!!! I will be able to spend these years with my family. Maybe even grand-children to spoil. I would love to see my spouse and taking advantage of life more, enjoying life. Like traveling, taking classes, and enjoying the outdoors.
-
Although in this stage of life, you are no longer able to fight the aging process, I hopefully will have taken good care of myself in the years prior. With healthy eating habits, no smoking and lots of massages!! Even though I might have to encounter acute decrease’s in hearing and vision. Hopefully, at least by this stage of life, my stress level will be low, so that doesn’t speed up the aging process.
-
In this stage of life I get to look forward to slower brain processing/ thinking. Less effective memory and control processes. I will be at higher risk for diseases that affect the brain, like dementia and Alzheimer’s. On the other hand, I will be entering my “golden years.” I will have the wisdom that comes with age. I will look back at my life, hopefully with feelings of happiness, fulfillment and great perspective.
-
Based on the “Life Expectancy Calculator” I am predicted to live to a ripe old age of 88. Hopefully, I pass peacefully in my sleep, without suffering.
