Hello, I am 18 years old. I have a five-month-old son Gabriel and he is absolutely perfect. Well, I am going to share with you my story… My journey to motherhood.

January 18th- This was the day that I found out I was pregnant. I took a pregnancy test after coming home from my boyfriend’s house. I was in my room waiting for the result and thinking that I wasted 14 dollars on this test because there was NOOO way I could be pregnant. Well, I was wrong….and very surprised. A whole mess of emotions swirled through me…Shock, Fear, Anger, Disappointment, Sadness. At the time, I was not happy about it at all. How could this happen? I was an honor student in my senior year of high school.

I was supposed to be partying and graduating and just enjoying being young….not be PREGNANT….
