I'm Amber. Im 19 years old and expecting my first. This pregnancy wasnt planned but it wasnt a mistake either. My boyfriend and I did nothing to prevent the pregnancy because I was told I would never be able to have kids. So this pregnancy is actually a gift and Keith and I are very excited. Keith and I have been together for almost three years and we are very happy together. We plan on getting married sometime after the baby is born but we are in no rush, because we know we will be together forever anyways. We live together and we both have full time jobs. I am also currently going to school and doing my pre recs and after the baby is born im gonna either go back to school for nursing or im gonna do online schooling for dental assisting. We'll see where my life takes me.

I was looking in your about me and noticed you mentioned eventually MAYBE doing online school for Dental assisting and it's a great career that's booming in business. You've chosen something great to take interest in. I'm currently going to http://www.pmi.edu/ for Dental assisting and I love it. They've told me some Dentists even pay for you to go back to school later down the line for hygenist and they make booming bucks. Good luck and PM me if you come up with any questions I might know
