being a teen parent.
Being a very young mom and dad is gonna be extremely hard for my boyfriend and I. As it probably is for a lot of people. We had a lot of dreams put on the back burner in February when we found out we were expecting. I was not in the right place emotionally, financially, or at all even. I've had LOADS of experience with kids, my mom owns a daycare in the house, I went to college for early education, and I've been babysitting since 11. We found out yesterday there is a little boy growing in my tummy. I still have a hard time remembering I'm pregnant half the time. My boyfriend and I are now both 20, and have been together for over 4 years. It's not a perf cat relationship, we fight, we argue, he annoys me, & I probably annoy him. When we found out I was pregnant, I told my mom immediately. Well, the next day. She wasn't mad, just shocked. My sister had a baby at 21 and she didn't know who the dad was, and was homeless. So my situation wasn't that bad, I guess. My boyfriends mom is old time Catholic, no sex before marriage, yada yada yada. Well he called his mom, she said "wow you're a fuck up" and hung up the phone. We live seperatly with our parents. My mom and step dad are ecstatic, his parents yell at me for wearing maternity clothes because I should be "hiding" my belly. They never ask me how I'm doing. We are looking for a house and I am SO stressed. We have 3 months before I pop him out, and I'm considered high risk due to placenta prevea. I have no room at my parents for a baby. My boyfriend has a GREAT job making almost 70,000 a year, and they are sending him to school. After school is over he gets a $10 raise. I just got a second job because I'm stressing about a house, and I need something to keep my mind off things.
But through it all, my bf has been such a great support. Loving me through all my crabby days, & days I'd rather play in traffic, he's loved me through all my decisions, and I can finally see the end to this tunnel. A song came on this afternoon as we were on our way home from furniture shopping, and I immediately started crying. It hits way to close to home and I wanted to share it with you all!
