As an older guy and Father of 4, but all ended up in Divorce. Was from Cali, where Guys are traded up all the times. I agree with...

I'd not only let him leave; I'd pack for him.

Just my old lady's nickle's worth. Again.

Also as a man I have a different view of things than the women..
it looks like he is too young to really know what her wants and not knowing you or your age or what you do, I can not offert much except.
If you are not working or going to school, what do you plan to do? are you really able to care for the child or will Mom do it???
I am very pro-life but also know that what we don't need is another kid no one watches, care for or is in the system. Every woamn wants to be a mom but when it happenes, something happens to you. Either you become one hell of a Mother, the child just becomes another thing you have to do or you hate it. You will not really know til it is born and maybe not for a few years. Your life changes, your way of thinking does as well. You must really think past the joys of Motherhood or childbirth (ok, there is no joy to labour pains) to the kids future. It you can not raise the child right with love, support, rules and being able to afford the child then really you may want to think about adoption.

Alos you are use to your BF, he is there and has become part of your life or really a habit. Drop his *** very fast. If later in time he decides he is interested in being a Father.... Now this is iportant... Make him prove it and not just for a couple of days or months but for a year or so. You also are now a habit, or someone who is part of your life, love or not.... I know a bad way to say it. All us married people know what I am trying to say. So go through the motions while other live through them. I take my missues for granted, but then, she does me. The important thing is we love and know that we can not live without the other because we are truly friends, lovers and so forth... Something that takes alot of time to be....
Ok, long post short.
Think about your options, what is best for your child and then you... The child will always come first til it is 18, then set it free and see if you did a good job or not...


Good luck, my dear

Sheesh, did I just sound like a father. drat!!! sorry for that...
mmm, but I am...

sheesh, the last part ...

really we don't take each other for granted but know, each other is there or the other, so yes, for granted. She is everything I am not and I am also to her and together we are an unbeatable force. A union, a partnership and we both are finally truely happy in our lives and where we are....

mm, hope that explained it better...
 
Well, good FRIDAY afternoon everyone!! It has been one BUSY and tiring week with company but it was fun. We "broke" the news to my side of the family during dinner and as we are cleaning up my mother looks at me and says, "are you really pregnant? You're not teasing me, right?!?" Haha...I love my mother but she is SO blonde sometimes. She LOVED the ducks...ran screaming from the guineas and chicks and would always say, "Shoo birdie, shoo" to the rest of the chickens!! I had to question her several times to be sure she actually grew up on a farm when she was little!!

Sadly, she did not get the joys of handling any of the chicks (and thus not getting pooped on) BUT she did change her fair share of dirty nappies here, so I cannot complain!!

I think we have settled on Reeces (hubby calls her cream since she has a white face) and Caramel for Cadbury's girls. Thank you ALL so much for your help in naming them. Stay tuned as I ask for names for my new 15 girls (once I remember what I asked for and what I have!! LOL)


Wild - Congratulations on your new little miracle!! I am so happy you have the love and support of an awesome mom!! I cannot offer any more wise words, as I think plenty has been said in that area and I have NO experience (aside from the labor/delivery part...LOL) as mine are still young. If you need anything, know I too am pregnant right now and can offer a good ear to listen to, a shoulder to cry on (haha...just wait until your hormones make you cry at commercials, seriously!!) and a helping hand to let you know you are not alone - although I am a TAD bit further along (July baby here...another July baby)!! If nothing else, I can offer some MEAN morning sickness/all day sickness recipes (been dealing with that myself and it's a PAIN....bleck). Just know we are all "family" here and will be here to lean on if you need it.

Congratulations again!!

So who has been playing around with the temperature?? I preferred the temps when they were in the 60-70 range...I do NOT like sweater weather...so who turned on the AC?? LOL. I actually had to go out and buy a few sweaters as I got rid of them all when I moved down here and got rid of a few more post pregnancy #1 because...well let's just say my body changed and those sweaters were no longer going to cut it. LOL

Have a great day everyone, try to stay warm!! We're heading off to see something called Meadow Lights tonight?!? Should be fun as the oldest LOVES seeing all the Christmas lights!!

Side note/rant: I am SO ANGRY!! My "local" feed store stopped carrying my organic soy-free feed!! I HAVE to have soy- free feed (DD's highly allergic to soy) so if anyone knows of any stores in the Johnston County/Wake County area that have soy-free feed, PLEASE let me know!! Thank you!!
ETA: I did find out that 5th Season Gardening in Raleigh carries Countryside's soy-free organic feed, but not Reedy Fork Farms' feed...I don't know the difference but I am hoping it works!! Still, if you hear of anything, please let me know!! Thank you again!! You all are the BEST!!

Tick- thank you, i am 22 will be 23 before the baby is born, i know being a single mom is hard. But i know in my heart that i will always put the baby first, i have i good job, and an amazing mother who has taught me well. I know that it wont be easy, and there is still alot i have to learn, but i am ready and willing to be a mother, i know in my heart that the baby will be the most important thing in my life. I have helped my best friend raise her 3 year old and even though he isn't my kid, i; treasure every minute i get to spend with him, i have helped her learn that disapline needs to consistent and patience is your friend. I kmow that things will change, but i know god and family will be here to pull me through the rough spots.
