Well I recently just found out I was pregnant with my first child. Finding out has made me scared/excited/uncertain/stressed...just every emotion rolled into one. When I told the father he informed me that he wants nothing to do with either of us, so I will be doing this alone. I work a full time job and have no family where I live, just a great group of friends.I also know that my pregnancy will be high-risk because I am diabetic. So have been thinking about moving back home with my parents (which is 1400 miles away), but if I do that I have no job when I get back or insurance. If I stay where I am at I have to find a new place to live, since my lease is up the end of January and I can not afford where I live alone (I had a roomate, but they hav a new place to live and I gave up my place since the "sperm donor" had asked me to move in with him)

I am going to be moving in with a friend for a few months to hopefully be able to stick it out where I am at.

I moved back home with my family last weekend. I am so grateful for my parents, for having parents like them, my situation is not idle but they have been so supportive and moved me back home with them. I don't think words can ever decribe the gratitude I have for them or if there will ever be a way to repay them for everything they have done for me and Jacob.

My son's father has finally showed a bit of interest the last few weeks (however a little late, since I was moving). He said that if it is his child (well duh, unless I've been pregnant for the last year and still am not due until September...but you know those men) he will take responsibility and be a father. Again, actions speak so much louder than words, so we'll see.

Well like I said before actions speak a lot louder than words, I have not heard again from my son's father (heard from him Memorial Day weekend) so it apears he is going back to his usual thing of ignoring. I was told that I will be going a few days early, hopefully Jacob will want to come even a week before that...lol. After my latest U/S he is looking more like his dad than like me, but who knows. I've been feeling tired a lot more recently and since I've moved home I feel like this is going in slow motion, maybe because I have way too much time on my hands.

wow its crazy u just said EXACTLY how i feel. My whole pregnancy i said how i want my baby to see and know his father and his family, but to be completely honest i shake being around my ex because deep down i hate him so much and cant even look at him in the face. Everyone thinks its so easy to just have the baby and bring him around but i know already its gunna be so uncomfortable and difficult for me to do knowing they didnt support me the whole time with my choice to even keep him in the first place. and deep down i still feel my sons value to them is a few dollars worth of dirty yard sale clothes.
