BABY



Well, since there is a baby in my tummy (actually, he is about the size of a grain of rice so not quite yet a baby, but definitely LIFE) now, I have decided to keep track of the joyous process of motherhood. So far it has been far from joyous. I am 20 years old, unmarried, living with my parents, pretty much broke. Morning sickness started yesterday and it keeps getting worse. Family is angry and sad and friends are supportive but worried and disappointed. I'm about 5 weeks along. It's hard to write about because it just doesn't feel real at all. And I don't even know who reads this blog so if you do, make yourself known!
I'm trying to remember:
1) Everything happens for a reason. It really comforts me to know that God loves this baby, no matter what happens or how and when it was conceived.
2) You can't change the past, so make the best of the future.
3) ONE DAY AT A TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baby daddy has yet to meet the parents. He is excited but feels bad.
He says, "I will always love you and her."
I say, "Oh, but it's a him."
"HER"
"HIMMMM"
"Okay, twins, a boy and a girl."

..........Sigh. Lord have mercy.
