Hey SabrinaLee!

That is great news. Good luck at your appt and let us know what you find out there. You should be able to get a good idea of how far along you are. Do not worry about the baby's father right now. You need to concentrate on yourself and your baby.

I am sure your Dad will have some shock and some other initial feelings. As I said before, I was 34 when I got pregnant and 35 when I had my daughter 3 years ago. My Dad was mad and even yelled at me. But he came around even before she was born and now she is the light of his life. My Dad just turned 71 and she is his only grandchild. He adores her.

Good luck at the appt and let us know what happens!

Lisa

Hi SabrinaLee,

I'm a little late into the thread, but wanted to wish you congratulations on your baby. I'm glad you have overcome the hurdle and have peace and resolve about your decision to keep the little one. That's often the hardest part! I've yet to meet a woman who decided to keep a baby that was unplanned and regrets doing so. You're in for an adventure with ups and downs, but far more ups, in my opinion.

Congratulations, too, on getting accepted into a college! Hard work went behind that I'm excited for you. I do believe the same God who made you and your little one is also able to carry you through the months and years ahead with the amount of grace you need each day to live in peace.

I hope you'll continue keeping updates posted!

With Kindness,

Heather

I forgot to add that I agree wholeheartedly with Lisa about not worrying about the father right now. The odds are considerably in favor of him eventually coming around to be supportive of this new little person, but regardless your primary concern should be your well-being and following your instincts of what you know is right.

If it's of any help, one book I found to be a lifesaver during my pregnancies was a well known one called, "What to Expect When You're Expecting." It answers every conceivable question a pregnant woman could have at every step of the way. I'd also recommend taking a prenatal vitamin as right now your little one is growing a mile a minute.

SabrinaLee~
Hello and welcome to our board! I have to apologize for not being around lately! I have four little ones and they have all had the flu all week on top of my oldest, Logan, has croup! Yikes! Thank God it's all over! :)
First, I want to congratulate you! I know you are probably over-whelmed right now but try and remember that's why God gave us 9 months to plan! ;) I know the baby's father isn't being all that supportive right now, but hopefully he'll come around. Most often it takes men alot longer to come to terms with the fact that they are going to be a father...sometimes until they see that little one in the flesh. Just give him some time...you have to remember that guys don't bond like we, as women do right away. Mostly because we are this little one's home. They are growing right beneath our hearts. We feel the flutters and the first kicks and near the end, the punches! ;)
As far as daycare goes, where do you live? I can try and do research in your area and let you know if I find something. Keep us posted and let us know how your Dr. appt. went!
God bless,
Tracey
