My baby

I'm 16 years old and a senior in high school, I recently found out that I am having a baby. I was for the most part excited, but still scared, I know I will be a good mom though. My boyfriend is 21 and we have been together for 3 years. We always talked about having a baby, but we knew we wanted to wait. When I found out I was pregnant he was afraid of what his family and my family would think. I have an older sister who is 22 and my mom gave birth to her when she was 17. I will be 17 in two months, but I have yet to tell my parents that I am pregnant, I am nervous but I think she will understand because of her having a baby as a teenager. I could never think of getting an abortion and my mom wouldn't allow it. My boyfriend and I live together and we are engaged. He doesn't have a job (he's not a bum, he got laid off and can't find a new job), I work part time at a restaurant making less than minimum wage, paying monthly for a car for that I need to keep to keep my job and to get me around. I know it is important to have money to support my baby, but also having a baby, i will need my car, and my boyfriend doesn't have his own. I know i'll be a good mother, and he will be a good father, but i'm afraid I won't be able to support my baby, and I've looked for a second job, but nobody will hire me. My aunt and uncle who can't have kids are trying to adopt one, and I know they would be good parents, but I'm not sure whether or not I should let them adopt my baby. It will be so hard having them take care of my baby right in front of my face, but I know they can give my baby whatever they wanted and they would be good parents, and I will still be able to see how my baby is doing, but i'm just not sure what to do. =[

everything good...so far

im seventeen years old. i dropped out of school after my sophomore year. then february of 2009 when i found out i was seventeen weeks pregnant. i had taken four negative pregnancy tests and had no other signs besides the fact that i was late, which even doctors thought was because of any other reason. so when i found out i was shocked. i almost couldnt tell my boyfriend becuase it didnt seem real at the time. at first my boyfriend and his mom were pushing towars abortion but i knew i couldnt do that. so i chose to keep it. my boyfriend was weary at first but eventually got excited about everything. my family was very happy about my decision because they are all pro life. my boyfriends mom on the other hand was not so enthusiastic. but eventually after a talk with my parents everything straightened out.
i am now thirty three weeks pregnant and have so much support from everyone around me. my friends, my family, and even my parents friends. right now i just want the pregnancy to be over and for my baby boy to be born. i realize everything is going to be much much harder but i still am excited. i also just got accepted to college, a year early, and will be starting in january. since the fall semester will be too close to Aiden's birth, July 31, 2009.

Alice

I had found out I was pregnant 2 months before I turned 17. It seemed that all of my "plans" were ruined. Not that they mattered anyway, my life was going nowhere. I hung out with pathetic people. The kind of people that never have any money and whenever they do get it they spend it on weed and liquor. My boyfriend at the time was one of them. He was 21 and still lived with his mommy and daddy. Pathetic.

The moment I found out she was inside of me I wanted to kill her. There wasn't anything that could have stopped me from getting an abortion until I ran away from home. That was the first time I had actually run away. Of course it didn't turn out very well and my parents found me. But I don't regret them getting me.
I had an ultrasound a few days after that. I was 14 weeks when I first saw her. I knew she couldn't be murdered, how could I have been so selfish?
I'm 21 weeks now. The baby is growing like a weed ^_^ and I couldn't be more happier.
I love you Alice!

problems

hi everyone. im currently 15 and 3 months pregnant. i had the best bf anyone culd evr ask for. we'd been dating since Sep. 14, almost 9 months now, then evrything crashed last night. he said he's tired of bullshit or problems that i keep bringing up and my 'childish' behavior on situations. until all this crap happened, idc wat other people sid, we were the happiest couple in our school! going to watch movies at the theaters, going out for dinner, once, but still happy. i didnt plan on getting pregnant. the last day we had sex, he told me that he ahd somewat planned me to get pregnant, but i hadnt. i was upset with him for not consulting about that with me first, BEFORE i got pregnant, and now look where i am. a single mother who cant afford to keep her own baby, so adoption is more than likely wat im gonna do. he promised he'd nvr leave me; gave me a promise ring, and evn an early engagement ring too. but i gues things werent meant to be between us. i loved him to death. and evn though he drinks and smokes here and there, somethinng i dont normally want in a guy, i still loved him very deeply, thats y i put up with him. now, evrything i loved is gone. i hav no heart left, for any1. none watsoevr. now im having to think aout school and wat im having to get out of planned classes, like my welding. im gonna miss welding a lot. and also how im going to handle giving up a baby i love dearly and giv him/her to another family. so, if anyone hasa any advice for me, plz, im all ears right now. i need some serious help....
