Triple delight

My sister and I fell pregnant within 2 weeks of each other. We've always been close and we both phoned each other within the same hour to tell each other the fantastic news. My pregnancy was great because I had somebody else to share it with - from buying colour coordinated baby-grows to groaning about cravings (Pepsi and marzipan respectively). My beautiful niece and nephew Lucy-Elisabeth and Nathaniel were born on the 29th October and my own gorgeous miracle Rosa Grace four days later.

For grandpapa

Our newborn miracles, Poppy and Thomas are finally here. Their grandpapa, a war veteran after whom they are both named (his name was Thomas, and Poppy's name is derived from the poem "in Flander's fields" is sadly not alive, but we know in our hearts that he is alive, watching over us. x

My Little Miracle!

After waiting so long for my little miracle, I got her a few weeks early!!!

My beautiful daughter was born on September 8th, 2007!!! At 35 weeks. She weighs 5 pounds and 7 ounces... She's perfect in every way.

I knew that she was the world to me. But I can't begin to explain the feeling I get whenever I hold her or see her.

If I had to do it all over again. I would do it in a heartbeat.

Congratulations to all new mommy's!!!

Knowing you are pregnant

In the beginning for me it was a shock. We were married for only two months when I got to know I was pregnant. My husband was extremely happy but I was full of doubts and fears. First of all, in the following weeks we had planned a trip to Australia and New Zealand, and after consulting with my gynae, we decided to cancel it. The first weeks of pregnancy were difficult for me. I did not have any stomach problems, but emotionally yes. I cried a lot but at the same time I started reading articles and even looking for names! The initial shock passed and we started counting the days!! So if you are feeling shocked, be sure it will pass especially thanks to family support. Now we have a super baby who makes our hearts flutter every time she smiles or looks at us.

Good luck to you all!

Becoming a Father

Hi. I know this website is for moms, but I thought I would share an inside to a teen fathers life. I was 17 when my girlfriend told me that she was pregnant. I was a senior in high school and she was a junior. We had been dating since I was in the 9th grade and she was in the 8th grade. We where not very smart about safe sex and eventually she did get pregnant.

My parents where in tears because they told me they watched my life go down the drain, and her parents where very upset thinking that now she will never finish high school. Abortion was never an option for us. We knew that we wanted to have our daughter. Once our daughter was born in March 2005 we where proud and happy parents. I finished high school that May, and my girlfriend got her GED that summer. We then got married and made it into college.

It was very difficult to start out living on our own with no help. We had to work to get the deposit, and then to turn on all our utilities. We made it though. I am happy to say that my wife and I now have a 2 month old son who was born April 2007. My wife was 19 and I was 20. I have 2 years left at the University of Oklahoma College of engineering to finish and my wife has about 3 years for her nursing degree.

I want to tell all teen parents out there that no matter what anyone tells you and no matter what you can go on with your child and become something great in your life. I plan to graduate May 2009 and my wife may 2010. I work full time in an engineering office as an engineering designer. My wife and I both work together to take care of our children and of course there is always late night studying, but I know it will be for the best for our children.

I want to tell anyone to not give up and if you truly love your child to not give up on them. They need you just as much as you need them. You can go on and give them the kind of life you want to give them, and what they deserve.
