When asked if I'm doing ok on my own..

I see all sorts of posts on here about

"My partner and I are so excited.."

"I hope our son looks just like his father.."

"We..we..we.."

and I am so happy for everyone, you are all blessed. I feel equally as blessed.

But as I sit here at 37 weeks, when I think of my daughter..I don't think of him one damn bit.

He may have "had the fun", ha if we want to call it that.

But he didn't make her.

He hasn't helped to build her.

Building her while in utero, would have had a lot to do with support for me.

& He never will.

She is my daughter. I wouldn't wish this situation on myself, or anyone. And certainly didn't plan on it for my little one. But I know we will blossom. We will grow strong.

I will tell her one day that I made choices for us, and the man who could have been around, wasn't able to make similar choices.

That will probably be the hardest conversation I ever have, but I will. For my daughter.

I look forward to the potential of meeting someone who will live not only me, but my little girl as well. And not because he has too, or feels obligated. Simply because he wants to complete us, like we will hopefully complete him.

To all you single mothers, whether by choice or by nature..Stand proud. It's going to be hard, it's going to be exhausting..

But we can do it 💝
