marissa and jordyns storyI was seventeen when imet my baby daddy. We met on myyearbook and started dating Dec 18,2008. We met the weekend after christmas and fell in love. Months went on and our relationship was on and off for awhile. Then in June of 2009 we decided we wanted a baby. Well a few weeks later we broke up and july we got back together bout a week later we found out i was pregnant. Joey didnt take it lightly at first and then he was excited. More time went on and he was cheating on me with another girl. He left me when i was 7 months pregnant a year after we met. In march 4th 2010 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl :). Shes my pride and Joy. He never came around hes seen her once since she was born. Its almost been a year since she was born and he still hasnt helped out and been there for us. He states he wants to but doesnt do anything and never comes around. He wants to get back with me but i keep telling him no. Marissa is my life and if she wasnt born idk what wud have happend all i know is he is missing out. I am 20 years old now and i am telling this because not all baby daddys will stay with them even if they are pregnant with their baby. jordyn 16 and pregnantI was suppose to be the good child my parents would always tell me make sure u dont pregnant dont end up like your brother. and i was so sure i wasnt going to end up like him but den again i had sex at 15 with my boyfriend.. and by the time i was 16 my parent thought that they could seperate me and my boyfriend so they band me from seeing him.. i was so mad that i would skip school and go see him and two days before my bday i conceived.. i didnt find out i was pregnant til i was 2 months. i was so scared i would cry it was the most scariest thing i had to go thru i told the babys father he was happy but i wasnt... what did do?? how am i goin to tell my parents???i was so scared.. i thought about abortion... but i couldnt do it.. thats something that will kill me for the rest of my life.. so i jus pushed the pregnancy aside pretend it will go away.. one day i decided to skip school and go to the clinic they gave a heart beat test and they told me i was about 6 months pregnant and they asked me if i been seein a doctor and i told them no. they told me i need too by the time i left the clinic and walked home my dad drove by and saw me.. he was asking me why wasnt i in school.. and i couldnt tell him anything.. so he let it go.. one week later i was starting to show and dats wen my parents knew i was pregnant.. they had a feeling but i will always denie it. my dad was so mad that he did not talk to me til my baby was born my mom was excited to have more grandchildren.. the babys father was der da whole time i was going thru this even tho we couldnt see each other but once my parents knew they let him come around more often.. school was hard cuz nobody thought i could end up pregnant cuz i was da good girl.. by june 28th i had my son.. i named him David Sebastian he weighed 7lb 9 oz that was the most happiest day of my life..

Lily lskylar storythere was this boy named boosie who all the boys in my school was afraid of.all the girls liked him and he always disrespected his girlfreind at the time. who would ever think he would one day be the father of my child. we couldnt stand eachother and i would always throw slurs his way. but one day i went to school and i liked him and he didnt hide the fact that he liked me either. i was in the 10th grade and by next year we exchanged numbers. we were freinds first. i mean we could tell eachotha everything. by five months i was pregnant and i was in denial. i was so sick and couldnt hold no food down. plus his crazy ex and me didnt get along at all. when i told everyone they were shocked. i was 3 months goin on 4 and didnt even look like it. my mother face expression said more than words ever could. he said whteva i decided to do he would stand by my side. a month later he got locked up and thats when all the drama came. he must been still seeing his ex and she told me how he was writing her saying he didnt want me to keep the baby. i was hurt but more mad so i cut him off completly. it was alotta conflict and me n the girl became cool. by the time i was 6 months they let him out of jail on probation. his mother calld tht same day and she was ballistic. how i needed to get an abortion and she want a dna test. it was easter sunday when me and boosie talked and we let bygones be bygones because we were expecting a child and it was time to grow up. we was back toghther in that same week and i can honestly say he stood by my side through the rest of my pregnancy and birth. i gave birth to my little princess skylar and his mother whole additude changed. because that is his mother i respect her and she adores our daughter. i have alot of support from family and freinds. even though me and boosie are on and off again he stills is a great father and is alawys there when i need him.shada Life Is FunnyI have never stepped out of my shell and really shared my story with anyone so hopefully someone can get something out of it. I was 19 years old when I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter at the time I was still with my "first love" I lost my virginty to himm when I was 15 and never had been with anyone else, needless to say when I told him that I was pregnant he and I decided to go our sepreate ways. For years I held alot of emotion, hate and rage towards him, I began to fell as if I would never be able to take care of this baby girl without her having her "dad" in her life. A couple of years passed and I met a new man we took things very slow and werent really planning on having a relationship with eachother but things happen and surprise I got pregnant again at 23. But this is not all bad since having my two children they have givin me the drive to take the world by the balls and make it mine. I have graduated highschool(OSSD), secured my own apartment, and have now been offered a killer job. Also so luckey that my man(the father of my second child) Has stepped up and been a father to both of those babies and is now going through the process of legally adopting my daughter sorry I should say our daughter. never thought any of this would have ever happend for me and I get up everyday and know that my babies have made me work harder then ever before. Out of unplanned situations sometimes has amazing outcomes :)shada Serenity, Skyes and Krisilyns story.My boyfriend and I had just been dating a little over a year when I found out I was pregnant, not only with one baby, but two, I was only 15. I thought this was the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, I considered abortion, but thankfully didn't get one. When I was about 5 months pregnant, my boyfriend left me. It was hard being pregnant and not having the father of my babies around to support me, but I got through it, because my family was always there for me. My boyfriend now, is helping me raise my baby girls, he has taken them in like they are his own kids, becasue there own Dad doesn't want anything to do with them. My baby girls are exactly one month old today. I love them to bits and pieces and would do anything for them.Mommy loves you Serenity and Skye! <3 Krisilyn Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116 | ||||||||||||||||
