Thank you for your advice. I was extremely careful with contraceptives.  Trust me. I used them everytime.  It sort of aggravated my fiance' at times. But anyways I know for a fact that I WANT my baby boy.

I just want to say, what ever decision you make, you have to live with it.  I had my first child at age 19, he is 13 now, i had two abortions in the same year, my the same guy i thought i would spend the rest of my life with.  I never really thought about the abortions until june 17th when i had a d&c for a m/c.  Life is truly a blessing, and i hate that it took for me to have a m/c to see that.  There are a lot of women/men that has fertility issues and would love a child.  I also learned that abortions are not a form of contraceptives, i didnt get preggo until i moved out my parents house, when i lived at home my mom took me to clinic and got me on birthcontrol and i used condoms, the moral of the story is, when we lay down we no what consequences we take, birthcontrol are not 100% therefore if one does not want to get preggo, they need a back up method, missing pills will decrease the affect of the birth control, diseases are also a consequence too.

I would think hard about what you want to do and how it might affect you years down the line.  If i could go back, i would not have had those abortions and i wouldve just made it work. Bringing a life into this world is life changing.  I didnt want any more kids and my fiance was like he does but if we dont have any thats fine to.  BAMMM i got preggo and it changed my whole thought process because at age 19 i was nieve and undereducated about pregnancy, the feeling had changed my mine to the point i told my fiance you no what, i can give you two kids.  Since the m/c now i think i want 3 or 4.

I will keep you in my prayers

I wanted to say, isn't it crazy how you may not feel ready at first, but as the new life grows inside you and you feel him moving around and realize he's his own little person.. that you feel more ready than EVER to get him here?

My husband was VERY similar to you in the beginning not being sure about it. He never asked me to abort or anything, he just wasn't ready. now he wants him here as badly as I do!

Thank you. before i was mainly focused on me, myself, and I. i know that makes me sound so conceited but its true. but now i realized that there is more to life than just me. i am about to have the family to prove it and i cant wait. besides my mom has bought so many toys and clothes for him i believe that she is more anxious than me and my fiance' combine. My fiance is constantly rubbing my belly and saying how his little man gonna be this and do that.  It gets annoying but im glad that everyone (including me finally) are happy.

Remember that what doesn't kill us just makes us stronger.  I live by that quote lately.  I am so glad that you made the decision to keep your baby boy.  It will be a struggle at times but it will be worth it.  Congrats on Issac.  My best friend named her frist son that and he is the most amazing boy child that I know (granted I have a girl and another girl on the way).  But Izzy (as we call him) is amazing.  I hope that your little boy is just as sweet and adoriable as he is.  I didn't know it means laughter but it's appropriate, I swear that boy is always happy =D  Good luck and we'll be praying about you.

Hey girl! Glad things are going great for you. There will still be moments of doubt but please know you're not alone! Every woman fears being a bad parent. I can't wait for more updates, sonogram pics, etc!

So are you guys wanting a boy or a girl? Have you talked about names yet?

I was 20 when I got pregnant with my first child!!  Needless to say, I was scared spitless!!  His father took off as soon as I told him I was pregnant,  I had just moved back home from out of state.  Didn't have an apartment set up yet, my car took a dump, and I was still interviewing for a job!!  I had decided that no matter what, I would do the best I could, and keep my baby!  He is now 7yrs old, happy healthy, and wonderful.  I have never regretted for a minute the decision I had.  Some of the stuff was a bit of a struggle, but when you hold your child and they smile at you, it is definately worth it!!!
