I'm just about 24 weeks pregnant with my little boy, who is the absolute love of my life. His father wasn't the greatest. He was fun when I was partying and all with him, but the moment we needed to actually grow up, he gave up really fast. I was 5 weeks pregnant and 17 years old when I became a single mom. I was scared, but my family was supportive. Moved back in with my mom, went back and got certified to teach preschool, everything.

I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant and 17 years old (next Friday I turn 18), and now I'm a preschool teacher and make really good money. Everything I do, I do for my son. However, as I look around at all my friends that are pregnant or trying to conceive with their boyfriends, and it makes me feel lonely sometimes. I don't regret a single thing, because my son is the greatest thing to happen to me, but I just wish I had other girls around to relate with. Ones I could hang out with and everything, ones that didn't make me feel so lonely sometimes.

It's probably mostly the pregnancy hormones talking, cause I don't feel this way all the time. Just sometimes it hits and makes me feel a bit sad, but this is the best life I've ever lived. I just wanted to get this out there cause sometimes it feels like I have no one to talk to about it.
