My Pregnancy/Birth Experience

I got pregnant when I was 17 by a guy I hardly knew.  Two weeks after I found out about my baby, he left and I haven’t seen him since.

I eventually started dating a wonderful guy when I was 4 months pregnant. We were together for a year, then things unfortunately didn’t work out. My pregnancy was full of tears, doubt, joy, and fear. My parents wanted me to get an abortion “to help my future because I was setting myself up for failure by having a baby.” I researched all my options. I looked at the abortion clinic websites and every time I opened it, I felt sick and knew that wasn’t right for me. I then researched adoption profiles on the Bethany website, but just knew that wasn’t right for me either. So I knew that God intended me to keep this baby because she needed her mommy as much as her mommy needed her!

I had my daughter Cadence on July 31st. She weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. She is eight months old now and recently learned to crawl. She is saying baba, mama, dada and said Hi once! Everytime she smiles, I can’t help but smile too! She makes every day worth living! It amazes me that this little person is completely dependent on me for her very life! When she holds my hand, I feel like nothing can ever go wrong! I have a living angel in my arms every night and thank God that she is here with me! I don’t know where I’d be without her!

Oh and by the way! I finished school and graduated before my graduating class did! My daughter gave me more motivation that anyone ever could! I will be attending college next winter and studying to become a biotechnology technician! So there’s to everyone that told me I couldn’t do it! There’s to everyone who said I was going to fail in life and there’s to everyone who judged me and every other young mother just for having a blessing! Just because I had a baby doesn’t mean I’m stupid!

Anyways, enough ranting for tonight!

Goodnight!
Love
