I'm young, I know.

Braelyn • Baby #1 due June 1st
I'm 19 years old, my boyfriend is 21 years old. We've been together for 2 and a half years and I just found out I happen to be pregnant. Honestly, my biggest fear is telling everybody. His parents, my parents. They're going to tell me I'm not financially stable, and freak out. I really don't know what to say and how to react to what they have to say. I am an adult and of course it's my responsibility for what's happened... It's OUR responsibility and I understand people will be concerned but how do I respond to "You're not financially stable, why would you get yourself into this?" I want happy responses. I can honestly say my boyfriend is not going to just run off and I appreciate how committed he is. He's working 2 jobs, l work also. We realize we're going to struggle a bit with money, but I am determined to get this baby everything he or she needs, I will not let my daughter or son down. Just I don't know how to get people to realize this isn't just another teenage-had-a-good-night-drinking-then-I-got-pregnant pregnancy. This is something special with 2 people who love each other. But if you're young it seems like no one believes in you. You just get scowled at for everything. I don't know why I started writing, this site isn't my journal,  just have so much on my mind. But I do believe I can do this, we can do this.  I'll be okay, and I'm ready for whatever gets thrown at me.
