26-5-2009 - Update on Babies Having Babies and much more!! OkMy mood while writing this blog:
Ok



I just want to thank all of the wonderful ladies who commented. I think they all had a interesting point or story to add just to help validate my reasonings. Just another thought for most people is what I think is most interesting is that the people who have been against teens intentionally conceiving the most are (and were) teen moms themselves. We aren't being closeminded adults thinking teens can't bring up babies. We are the teen moms who are or had to raise their babies. We are the person they are choosing to be and all we are trying to do is help. However people will make their own choices and sometimes firsthand experience is the best kind of learning. I just wanted to point that out because I am the teen who has to wake up to the baby crying, I am the teen who has to put all of her needs last to put her child's needs first. I am the teen who goes sleep deprived and just wants to collapse. I am the teen who goes to school (I'm in college for nursing) fulltime and trying to make something of herself so she can give her child all that they need. All moms already have a hard time as it is at whatever age they may be and whatever the circumstances of how they live being a mom is tough either way. And if someone wants to live my life then they will ultimately be the one to live with those choices. I pray for them, I will not make fun or think poorly of them. So thats that. I don't want people to think I'm being judgemental, in a way yes, but in a way no because I'm telling how I feel from my own firsthand experience of being a teenage mom.

Also updates on my life.. Jeff and I are still not together. I pray we will one day soon. However, we still love each other fiercely and thats all that matters. This weekend we spent time together as a family with our son Aidan. Watched Sesame Street and let Aidan play with all of his toys. It was nice, but at the same time really hectic. My father was admitted in the hospital on Sunday morning and the doctors are thinking it could be along the lines of a stroke. They are still unsure so they are running more tests. So I pray my dad will come home safely soon. He's doing okay right now which is great, but the doctors are trying to get down to the bottom of whats going on with him. Jeff's been a great support over this.

I took Aidan to the doctor's today for his 6 month appointment. He's 20 pounds and 2 ounces. He's 27 inches long and his head diameter is 18 1/4 inches. He's huge!! Lol! I'll post more pictures. I know I've been slacking lol!! I'll post another Comparison blog from where I left off from my last one in February. lol! Usually I keep up on his latest pics on my myspace. He got shots today, which had him screaming like a banshee and to top it off I accidentally bumped my head into his so I felt horrible because he began screaming harder. He just finished a nap so he's in a playful mood so I'm gonna go ahead and set him up with all of his toys and post up pics as soon as I'm able to.

Other than that I'm planning either this week or next week on getting medication to get help with PPD for sure. For the last couple months I keep saying I'll do it, but I think after seeing what its starting to do to me I've had enough of it for sure. My life is just so busy that I keep neglecting to see all of the doctors I need to for myself. In fact if you read on my blog about the Melanoma scare I just went to see a dermatologist finally this month to get the mole removed and checked out. Thank the lord it wasn't cancer. There were mild changes in the mole, but turns out to be a skin disorder (??) I don't know all the details, but I'll find out at my next appointment in June.

Thanks everyone!!!

i agree with leah you are been really mature and sensable! lots of teen (and infact mums of any age) dont put as much effort in to been a mummy as you do especially people over here in the uk there are so many lazy people who cant be bothered workign ro studying to try and better them selves and just get money for free, which is mainly spent on booze and fags (a girl i know from school is a prime example of this!!) and she just leaves her son to do his own thing. On his 1st itrthday aprty her son was crawling around a lot of drunk adults drinking beer out of cans

i had to leave as it was making me sick!

im so proud that your taking things in to your hands and making a posotive change :D your a roll modle to all young girls and all mummys out there:D xx
