hey. i think that this is absolutely the right decision for you to make. i’m really proud that you chose to keep your baby. no one said it was going to be easy, but it will be worth it. right now things seem crazy i’m sure, and i have no doubt that your boyfriend is scared out of his mind (i might be pregnant and just spent a good three hours last night trying to calm down the would-be father) but everything will work out. and as for your mom, sure deep down she doesn’t think this is right for you, but it’s because she recognizes how hard it will be for you. but you can do it. many, many women have done it before you. my mom was only 17 when she had me, and she had to drop out of highschool, but now she has three highschool aged kids (including myself), is happily married to my father (not my birth father, but someone even better), she went back to college, and now lives in a nice house with a good job. so trust me, it can be done. you just have to work really hard at it, and i’m sure you will.

i think that you are making an amazing and selfless decision, and i wish you the best of luck with it. remember, if you ever need someone to talk to i’m here as well as anyone else on this site. goodluck. and stand strong! 🙂

congratulations! that is really exciting. do you know hwo long it will be before he can come home? congrats again! :cheer:
