Creepy! My baby’s dad is dating a new girl named Megan too! haha. Except my name isn’t megan, so thats not as weird. What is weird though is that she has a 4 month old. I don’t understand how you can leave your own child, just to date someone with a child of their own. (not that single mommies don’t need boyfriends…just….it doesn’t make sense in this context).
Its funny how you can see your story inside of someone elses. My grandmother had a freak accident, and passed away in the hospital. I buried her the day before I found out I was pregnant.
Not to seem as if I don’t appreciate your advice, because trust me, I do – but I do want to clarify: I’m beyond excited for this baby. I already bought the stroller, which I know I did waaaay too early. But its like trying to wait for christmas. I get impatient and restlessly happy.
I had several people tell me to get an abortion. Some with good intentions (if you understand my meaning) and others simply bitter selfish reasons. At the end of the day, I knew what I could live with, and what I couldn’t.
My mother was one of the people who suggested having an abortion, but she never forced it. She just told me "Here are your options. I’m by your side, no matter what."
After I told her I was keeping the baby, she told me that she was really proud of me for knowing my boundaries and staying true to them. She had me when she was 19 and doesn’t want to see me walk the hard road that young single parenthood can be but at least I have her here by my side.
My biggest fear is that no matter how many people around me I have, or how much I love my son, that somehow I’ll be lacking. I suppose thats natural though. To doubt ourselves when we are faced with challenges.
Its ironic to me that the "daddy", if you will, doesn’t want anything to do with us, but he’s okay dating a new girl who has a 4 month old of her own. See, thats really my fear. I have bad judgement when it comes to men. How am I going to raise a miniature one?
I know. A good start might be to stop doubting myself. Lol.
Thank you for sharing your story. Wherever life takes you from here, I hope it finds you happiness.
P.S. Everyone (my family) has had me living practically in a bubble since the miscarriage scare because they know I stress too much. So no worries! I’m taking care of myself. Or rather I’m still trying to pretend I’m invincible, and everyone else is taking care of me. ^.^
