Amanda My beautiful baby girlOkay, well I'm not a 15 year old mother or anything but I'm just as single and my pregnancy came as just as much of a shock to me. I grew up with my grandma, my parents died in a car crash when I was 4 months old. Other than my grandma, there is nobody. She died in 2000 and thank heavens I was anadult otherwise I would have been in the foster system. I found out I was pregnant when I was 28, I am stable financially and everything, I have money to support a child, a house, a car, etc. I just didn't have the man. Ryan, my daughters father, is just a guy I had a one night stand with. Anyways, I went through the pregnancy in a sort of shock, I was so thrilled, surprisingly enough. Everything was great, no pregnancy complications. I gave birth to my daughter on December 14th 2007. My grandmohers birthday is december 14th too. My grandmothers name was Fern, my mothers was Fedora, mine is Feya. Also, by chance, my father name was Felix. I chose to take the Fe thing another generation and named my baby girl Felicia Devikasi. She is 9 months old and I have had the most amazing experience parenting her, she is truly amazing.Devi MY LITTLE SISTERS PAINMY LIL SISTER HAD AT LEAST 3MISCARRIAGES IM SO HAPPY FOR HER NOW SHE PREGNENT AGAIN BUT SHES BLEEDING.

A GIRHL..yay.Well i'm not single buht u'll c y i put it up for single mothers. Well i was 7 weeks pregnant when i tld my mom, babydadyy, and his momma. At first BEN (MYBABYDADDY) said it wasnt his,buht he was onli scared and he went through 2 months with him tryn to not have communication with me. me and Ben who is actually my bf had sex March 21 so i guess thats my conception date. BUt 3 days later he left me for a very nasti female i wnt speak on. so i had kind of gotten down on myself, i cryed everynight and i jus didnt kno what to do. itryd the moving on thing but it made it worse because i conpared him to BEN n i kudnt love him because i was still n love with Ben. So me and him broke up and i was single for a little while. I still cryd myself to sleep everrynight and was hurt. It was hard at first because all i wnted was my babydaddy back. I loved him so much. Well when i was 6 months 3 days my mom decided to go over his house and see him and his mother. His mother was supportive the whole time she knew i was pregnant n she knew it was her grandbaby because she knows also what type of gil i am. Well he had acceptd the fact that he was going to b a daddy now. By the way he;s 16 goin on 17 the 23rd of this month and i'll 16 nov. 12, when we went over ther he was all under me and wanted to b close to me the whole time and i knew then that he still loved me and wanted to be with me and he realized what e did to me was wrong so we started talking and stuff that day so it really hit us we are bringing a life into this world. SO 2 days later me and him got back together. We talked everything through and we decided we were still in love and that this would b the best thing for our little girl. So since then we've been spending time together over each other;s house and stuff. I know now that he is the proudest dad to be ever, because last Saturday i was at his house and we were laying down together on the bed watching the movie BABY BOY..lol and he had his hand on my stomach and she was just moving and playing with him a whole lot and he wnt stop talking about it,,lol he also wants to be in the delivery room when i have her also so im siked about that., Ijus love him so much and it was rocky at first but i prayed and waited throught the pain for 6 LONG months for him to realize and he did. So my story shows to say that you just have to have faith in what you want and if it's true love it;ll come back and hit you when you least expect it. So if your bbyddy is as good as yo girls say he is and the love was true he'll come back jus be patient i kno it's gona hurt but you kan do it...Oh and my due date is Dec. 12, and my family is soooooooo supportive and his is to.. his sister has ben telln me everything i need to kno to prepare for our baby, she jus had he baby and she'll b 2 months on the 11th and he always wants me to hold the baby for practice and stuff. so i'm glad i got ma BEN MITCHELL backMisty Ellis oh our baby;s name is Harmonee' Mitchell. dnt have a middle name yet he's coming up with that Misty Ellis Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 |
