This little human right here...

Is the most amazing blessing ever placed in my life.

We met a little early...but...I'm okay with that, because he saved me when I needed saving the most. He gave me a reason to get out of bed, when I felt like I'd never get out of bed again. And from the moment he was laid on my chest, after 9 hours of pain & work, my entire world changed. I vowed from that moment that I will never do anything to hurt my children, and that I will put them first. Going through life, without him, is something I can no longer imagine. It is too painful to think of a time he was not with me. And when Jaiden comes, I will still hold my vow. I've gone through some really hard times, especially lately. And I want to say to any teenage mother....you CAN do it. If you CHOOSE to. You'll have bad days. You'll have days you want to put your kid out the front door. But you'll be surprised that not even a second later, you'll feel bad for even thinking that. You're still YOU, you just get the privilege to be a mommy on top of that. Your goals ARE obtainable, they just might be a bit harder to reach. But please, don't give up. Don't feel like you can't do it on your own because you can. It'll be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it isn't the end yet. Don't let anyone tell you different. Be proof AGAINST the teen mom statistics. I graduated, you can. I was accepted into college, you can be too. Don't give up.

If you can't do it for you, do it for that little human of yours. 💜
