Hello everyone. My name is tiffany and I'm kind of new here. I just found this forum. I have a son named Austin. He was born on October 29th, 2007 at 9:14 PM weighing 9 lbs 9.5 oz. To this day he's 17 lbs and 4 oz. He's a big baby, but that's okay because I'd much rather have a chunker :] I love to meet new friends so if any of you are interested just reply!

well im not a expert but i dont see why hardness would be a sign is a miss. i just think your bloating more which can cause it to be harder... a few weeks ago i was at my ex's familys house and they were touchin my stomach sayin it was hard... but now it isnt as much anymore.. [its still big though lol] just remember few more weeks and your chance of a miss. drops significantly... take everyday as it comes and be very careful for the next few weeks.. get lots of rest and make sure to stay away from too much caffeine, that can be linked to a miss. also...

i read ur profile...6 UNDER 8?? wowww ... that has to be awesome though, because when your kids are older, like in there 20's i bet there geing to be very very close, more like best friends, then brothers and sisters... i want my kids to be close, but im too young, so im going to have my one rite now... then have more like 5 or 6 years down the road

You are 20? I thought you meant that you were in your teens somewhere lol. I got married when I was 19 and had my first when I was 21. I'm almost 30 now. 6 is a lot and on some days I don't think I can handle it. It takes a lot of patience. Now that the older ones are getting to the age where they are capable of helping more, it isn't so bad, I just have to stop being such a perfectionist and wait til they do things enough times so that they get it right.

Ok, I looked at your profile and maybe did the Math incorrectly (which is no surprise lol). I think you are making all the right decisions, so bravo for you. I have no idea how people do it without a committed relationship. I can't wait til all my kids are older and enjoy the same things that I do and the older ones do too

Happy

lol no its wasnt you, my profile sayd i was 20, when i sign up for things, im so sick of giving all my info i get lazy and just pick random dates untill i get the time to go back and change them lol
yea actualy me and my babys father arent even together, and its hard even now, i was crying last night because of what a prick he was being to me.
When i went to the doctor for the blood test to see if i was pregnant [about 2 1/2 weeks ago]
the doctor asked what wed do if i was... my ex burst out quickly, "get married" and then preceded to tell the doctor that he would never have his kid be without both parents together... one week later, we broke up... and now when i say i cant do this without us being together he is like " why do i have to be with you to take care of my kid"
So even though i know he will help with the money and stuff, i have to raise my baby alone... plus finish school... it will be hard, but i have a wonderful family to support me... i just wish me and him were still together =[

Oh gosh, that is such a sad story hun! But I'm so glad you have a good family to help you get through it! You are a strong woman: you can do it: and with the way your ex is, it's probably for the best that he doesn't bring his instability around. If it makes you feel any better, I'll be homeschooling most likely this fall, and going to school myself, and my husband too. That's the plan anyways. I'll see if I can make it lol.

thats the thing, for a second i thought of abortion, but i really dont believe in it... and i cant punish my baby for mine and my exes mistake... i love my baby already... i saw its heart beat and herd it! my ex really wants this baby, just not me, so ill have to manage... it will be hard, but im going to college for nursing once im doen with that ill be able to have a pretty good life for me and my child... im not going to lie, it really really hurts when i think about hwo 2 weeks ago our relationship was amazing..and now he wants nothing to do with me.. i gave him everything and was there for him through everything, wen we got into out car accident he had to stay in the hospital for 3 days and i was there every second i possibly could, i even begged the nurses to let me stay the night with him ... i supported him and helped him find a place to get his GED because he was embarresed he never graduated, and i gave him so much love, bought him so much, and gave him a baby , because i knew how bad he wanted one... now its a slap in the face that he wont take me back... he says its my fault that i broke up with him, which i did, but because i was mad.. it was 4 am, i was having dstomach pains, he lives in a very bad neighorhood and he wouldnt walk me to the hospital [this was while he knew i was pregnant] he told me to go by myself.. so i got mad and said were over... then took it back like 30 seconds later and he wouldnt take me back , and now claims its my fault were not together =\
