When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was scared.

I didn’t tell anyone. Not my parents or my friends. I tried convincing the father to stay and not move away (yes, he was graduating), but that didn’t work. I lost. I went to the clinic alone, got the information alone, and went to the first ultrasound appointment alone. Trust me when I say this- TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU TO ALL THIS. You don’t wanna go alone. you need someone there as your support. When I first saw my baby, all I could do was cry. I called my friend, who is now my boyfriend…balled my eyes out. Telling him where I was and what I was doing. He drove right there, held my hand, and looked at the screen with me. The next step was making the decision whether to keep it or not.

And he told me he was gonna be right there by my side…every step of the way.
