Hello... my name is Jenny, but you can also call me Jen.  I am 27 years old and just had my first child in January.  I've had more changes in my life in the past year and all at once, that I don't even know where to begin.  I would like to meet others who can understand where I am coming from.  I don't have many friends who can understand b/c they're still in that party mode.  I left that train a long time ago and really haven't put myself out there.  Now that I have a wonderful little girl,  I only want the best for her.   I sit at home ALOT and I know that's not good for me or her.  I don't have the most compassionate boyfriend so he doesn't understand how lonely I am.  If there is anyone who can give me good advice on how to be more positive after all I've been through.  FYI- Since last January, I've...bought a house, had a death in the family that was like a father to me, found out I was pregnant, was hospitalized 2x, did not have a great pregnancy at all, had my sister, her girlfriend, and their cat move in to help out both of us, had Annabelle, I didn't heal properly so I was laid up longer than expected, had to deal with the Veterans Admin and all their bull, found out I had a herniated disk in my neck which needs surgery, and dealt with my dad's 4th DUI.  I want to be happy, but I don't know how anymore.  Everytime I look at Annabelle... the world and all my problems seem to deminish, and she's the only one that can put a smile on my face no matter what.  Any advice would help.  Thank you
