The Changes of my life

So my story starts in November of 2011 with my boyfriend at the time and now husband. He is 4 years older than me, he is 23 now and I will be 19 in April. His name is John and my name is Amanda, I met him in 2009 the summer after my freshmen year in high school. He was one of my sisters friends and I saw him one day after school at the park because my sister was taking me home. Soon after that we started to talk but he had a girlfriend at the time and a month or so later he asked me out but I said no because I wanted to be sure. I knew he was trouble but I didn't really care, I guess. Six months later we got together and started having sex, he was my first, I lost my virginity to him but I do not regret that, he is my soul-mate and I truly love him.

I found out I was pregnant pretty early (late November early December) but I was in so much shock and denial that I completely blocked it out until January. To this day I am not sure how I managed that but I did and so when I finally admitted it to myself I was so scared and didn't know what to do. There are many things I would do differently thinking about it now. I was 17 when I got pregnant, I waited until my 18th birthday before I told my parents. We all went to my grandmas for my birthday it happened to be on Easter that year. I came home early, a few days before my parents and John had convinced me to move in with him, my dad got home early to and noticed I wasn't there much and then my mom came home a few days later. That weekend they found out, my mom was more upset that I had moved out , that's something I would have done differently.

I came back to try to talk to her and not surprised, she didn't want much to do with me, it hurt but I kept trying because I knew I needed too. She tried to lock me out but finally let me in and we had a wonderful talk we even ended up going to the mall and she bought me some maternity clothes which were so much more comfortable. She asked for us to come and talk with her and my dad so we did, it was awkward and I was afraid but it went a lot better than I thought. I would have told my parents a lot sooner if I could go back, thinking about it now. So as time went on things got harder, I had horrible morning sickness throughout the whole pregnancy and unfortunately it wasn't just in the morning. It made school more difficult but I knew I had to finish and I did, I graduated June 2, 2012. I am so lucky I really did have true friends they stuck by my side and help me through it. Although I did have a hard time telling them as well, but I did tell one friend earlier than the rest and she helped me a lot.

Well I thought school and what not was hard but its nothing compared to what happened about two weeks after graduation. Things were going pretty good, my mom was planning a baby shower for me with my friends and I was really excited and couldn't wait, it was planned for June 16. I was not prepared for my life to change so much in such a short period of time. On June 15 I came home because an old neighbor that was staying with us was worried about my mom. I got there and she wasn't very responsive, she had been through a lot of medical issues previously and were on some medications that made her sleep heavily so it wasn't really out of the norm for her. There was something that just made it seem different though, my dad was on his way home from work and he got there as soon as he could. She seemed alright and then suddenly things took a turn for the worst she started to not breath much and then not at all, we had called 911 but I just knew it was to late. They took her to the hospital and pretty much said the only thing keeping her alive was all the drugs they were pumping into her and gave us the choice of when to stop. She passed that day and it was the worst day of my life, I was really close with my mom we were like best friends. And the timing made it even worse, it was the day of my parents anniversary, the day before my baby shower that we were both so excited for, two days before fathers day and only a few short months before I was due to have my baby. I was due in August to have my beautiful baby girl, it has been so hard without my mom and I miss her everyday so much.

It's a struggle and it's painful to not have her around for all the moments to come that I know she would have loved and couldn't wait for. Me and my husband had already agreed on a first name for our little girl but I still hadn't decided on a middle name. I'm generally not one for super long names but both my mother and grandmother are very important to me and I decided to give our daughter parts of there names in memory of them. Her name is Ellie Marie Laverne House, Marie is my mothers name and Laverne is my grandmothers middle name. I thought it couldn't get worse but it certainly did during/after my delivery, it hurt so much and after my little girl finally came out she wasn't doing well. It turned out she didn't have enough sugar and she had sepsis (an infection in the blood) she was in the Nursery Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for a few weeks and I was so worried I was going to loose her to. Once I got discharged from the hospital I came to see her everyday, a little later she got jaundis (was yellowish and needed more sun). Thankfully she started to get better and I finally got to bring her home.

The sleeping patterns are so hard to deal with and each stage of her life has different challenges to deal with but now she is a happy healthy 7 month old almost 8 months baby girl. She was born on August 3rd, 2012 and she is growing so fast, she has been crawling for a while now, can sit up on her own and for about a month now she stands on her own, she tries to walk but she doesn't quite have it yet. She is very active and is certainly a handful but she is absolutely adorable and I love her. It has been really hard on all of us and I know it could be worse, I am thankful and appreciative for everything that I have and what everyone has done for me but it is truly painful and difficult for me everyday.

I take things day by day and hope for the best, I advise other girls to do the same. Do not let people convince you of something especially if you are uncertain even if you love them, go with what you feel is truly right in your heart. I know it is really scary and hard to tell people especially your parents but sometimes telling them sooner rather than later is better. Keep your options open do what you feel is right whether its keeping the baby, abortion, or adoption do not let anyone choose for you, you will regret it and you can not go back. Truly think about everything long and hard, it will be difficult no matter what you choose but you can do it. I am fortunate that I married my love and he has stayed with me, he was there for me throughout everything and I am truly thankful for that but even now things are hard we can't really support our daughter and we are lucky to have his parents who help us out financially so much but I take care of our little girl most of the time and it is so hard, absolutely nothing prepares you for parenthood.

Just keep strong girls no matter what and don't give up, it may be hard but it is not impossible. Well this is my story and advice, sorry it is so long but thank you for reading. Me and my little family wish luck to all of you out there.

Amanda, Ellie, & John <3

my baby boy Jayden :)

Hi, my name is Raven.... In Dec 2011 I met a boy named Kyle he was 16 and I was 14 , I knew instantly he was the one for me, we are currently still dating.... I ended up getting pregant 5 months into our relationship, I found out forsure I was when I was 18 weeks, I wanted an abortion because I was so scared to tell my dad... At that moment I was to far along.. So I had no choice but to continue being pregnant.... I finally told my dad at 25 weeks, I was already in my second trimester.... It was so heart breaking to tell him.... He told me he was more disappointed that I didn't tell him sooner and her was mad that I was pregnant.... But he finally started accepting it when I was 29 weeks... He went to my ultrasound once... The babys father only went to acouple of doctors appointments but I didn't mind. Finally I had my son on DEC 30 2012 on my birthday, yes we share a birthday ! ... We named him Jayden Dean Arthur Birston Friesen, he was 7lbs 1oz... He was so perfect an precious... I still can't believe I wanted an abortion, I don't even think I would get one if I knew how precious he is... He is currently 2 months and a week and me and Kyle are more closer then ever, we both care and ove our son Jayden, they are the best thing that has ever entered my life, and I thank god every day....
