Cassy Fiano

Hi everyone! My name is Cassy Fiano. I was born in Jacksonville, Florida. My husband and I met when we were twelve, at a birthday party where he fell on the pool deck and broke one of his front teeth. I worked in several different fields until I got married. My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a family and that when we did, I would be a stay-at-home mommy. Last July, we found out I was pregnant, and on the day of my first doctor’s appointment, he deployed to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, during my pregnancy, I ended up with preeclampsia. Luckily, my husband returned the morning of my scheduled induction, so the day he came home from Afghanistan was the day we went to the hospital. 16 hours and a c-section later, we had our beautiful little boy, Benjamin. Being a parent has changed my life. I’ve learned to be more patient; that it’s possible to operate on two hours of sleep, and I’ve also learned that I never really knew what stress was until I experienced a baby crying inconsolably for four hours straight. I’ve learned that looking at my son sleeping in my arms can move me to tears, that I never really loved anyone the way I love my him, and that all of the hard times can be completely wiped away with one little smile. The last four months have been an incredible journey, and I can’t wait to share the rest of it with you!

My name is Dusti Coacher. I was born in Florida and lived there for a majority of my life. I spent most of my childhood annoying my two older sisters and playing outside (mostly in the dirt). As I got older, I started to do more girly things like play with Barbie’s, but I still love to play in the dirt from time to time. My Mom and Dad are wonderful; I hope that I can be half as good at parenting as they are. My parents, sisters, nephews, and the rest of my family are still in Florida; thanks to technology we are able to remain close while I am away from them. I lived in FL until about three years ago when I moved to North Carolina with my husband, Ryan. We currently live in Jacksonville and will be here until Uncle Sam moves us to a new area. I recently graduated from school where I studied to be an esthetician; I have always worked in the spa industry and love skin care. I am currently working at home as a wife and mom! Ryan and I welcomed our first baby to our family in mid September! It is safe to say that our lives have changed tremendously since Braylin arrived, but we would not have it any other way. When I have time, I like to play board games, read, relax at the spa, and of course spend time with my family and friends. I spend most of my days changing diapers and playing with our two babies, Braylin and our dog, Layla. Layla is a Weimaraner and spoiled rotten; she is adjusting to not being the center of attention pretty well. I enjoy being part of the MomTalk community. I look forward to learning about all of you and sharing our experiences with one another!
