God doesn't make mistakes and he has offered you a precious gift. It is alot of work being a parent, but soooo worth it.
Everything happens for a reason.... if your boyfriend chooses not to be a part of your & the baby's life... there's not much you can do...
BUT.... he may come around eventually.

Wishing you lot's of luck with your baby & boyfriend.

Hello everyone holiday season and prep has me runing around like a mad woman. We are having to rent a car for christmas week
th.gif
and i'm up to my eyeballs in cooking, we are making russian tea cakes, haystacks, sugar cookies, date nut bread, pumkin chessecake, pear honey, lasgna, and a red velvet cake. I love cooking but because of our limited place to store stuff we have to do it all on christmas eve and christmas day.
th.gif
ugh i'm tired.
Ok ya'll would be so kind i really need some advice, i recently found out I'm pregnant. I told my mom and she is supportive and willing to help me. But when i told my boyfriend he told me he didn't want it. And if i chose to keep the baby, he wouldn't have anything to do with me or the child. Well, for me its a no brainer, i have always wanted to be a mom, though admittedly when i was older, and i will not give up this baby. But i love my boyfriend and we have been together since our first year of high school. He is younger than me and only 19. I'm kinda lost, on the one hand i don't want to lose him, but on the other i want soooo bad to be a mom and he knew this. Any advice for this youngin?
Congrats!!!!!
You have the support of your mom and folks who love you
......anyone who is not supporting you can move aside
and let you and that sweet baby have a happy life. Sounds
like the BF is not right for you if you want to be a mom.....JMHO.

My opinion may not be worth loads, but I'll voice it anyway. Your BF was just as responsible for birth control as you. If he didn't want a child, he should have been more diligent. (Yes, water under the bridge now.) That said, a man who will threaten to walk if you choose to keep this baby....giving you a very manipulative ultimatum....is one I'd let walk. Every relationship has it high points and its low points. Married or not, you've got some mental/emotional version of "for better/for worse", else you wouldn't be together. Hitting a low point like an unexpected pregnancy lets you know if your partner is one that will stand with you when times are rough, or if he's the type to run and leave you standing.

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

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

Yep, space. Feed.

Why can't I have all the pretties!?!


I've decided to focus on my layers for my egg customers, and then limit to three breeds for potential showing. Those will be the English Orps, Brahmas, and Wellies. I can play with all sorts of colored eggs in my layers, as long as they lay big eggs, so that should keep me happy. I can put all the big pretties in there! But, with just a couple exceptions, I'll limit the showing birds to proper colors for showing, and try really hard not to get sucked in to all the pretty colors there. The exception is crele English Orps. Oh. My!

Even though Hubby is willing to build another chickenhouse for me, I want to wait until I've sorted out what I really want and need. Self-control. I can do this!
Is this the start of chicken math?

I went down that road and still don't know how it all happened,
th.gif
Is that the same deal as going over the that 'hill' and not even knowing you were near the top yet?
ep.gif

just asking

Congrats Wild, glad you have your mom. I agree with the rest...he might stay and might not but if it was me, I couldn't trust him much if he gave me that choice. I would pack him and throw him out trying to slam the door where the good lord split him. But that's just me (I can have a mean streak

) How far along are you?? Good luck
hugs.gif


All these babies are making me very happy that I am FIXED.

as 3 is enough for me
 
Quote: The START??? Let's see...I'm back up to feeding around 100 chickens, and the oldest is three months...so no eggs in sight! I think I'm well beyond "start"!

I just wrote out the sequence we've gone through since buying this place. And then deleted it. I'm not sure where it's going to end!

That hill snuck up on me. I didn't see it coming. Like an ocean wave that swoops you up when you aren't looking.

I am looking to buy up to 10 black copper marans hens/ pullets/ sexed chicks and One or two (preferably two) Lavender Orp roos/ cockerels here in NC. I am in Vass/ Southern Pines. I can drive a bit If needed. They will be free range pets.

I know someone with the BCM birds that if they are laying can hatch eggs but they wont be sexed

I have some BCM chicks they are not sexed. If you are interested...send me a PM.
 
Thanks you guys sooooo much :hugs ya'lls opinions mean very much to me. I hate him for giving that kind of ultimatum. I'm gonna tell him, you can either be around to watch and enjoy this miracle with me or you can leave. I love him with all my heart, but we had never discussed the kids things before, so i didn't even realise he didn't want any! My heart is sad and happy at the same time. Thank you all!!!

I'm only 9 weeks along. Doc says I'm due late september around the 25th. I can't wait til i can find out the sex of the baby.
