Doctor's Appointment
Posted: 06-18-04 13:06pm

Well I went for my check up and everything is looking great. They said my weight gain is perfect( I dont feel it is lol) and we will be having a big healthy baby girl Smile the doc felt around to see where the baby was(from outside) and her head is down..And her heartbeat is in the 130's. So everything is good and now I go every two weeks.
My mom suprised us by showing up at the doctors office(i live with ryan for the summer and was suppose to stay forever). Well she was showin us the shoes she bought for baby mackenzie and all this other stuff. I wrote her a really long email tellin her how I dont want to go back home..Well she wrote me back saying I have to go back and so ryan and I got in a big argument on the way home..I started crying because I cant do this by myself. Im scared im gonna lose ryan because I wont have time for him since ill be doin everything myself. He said he will not drive down there everyday or even everyweekend or anything like that to see us but I know he will but he says he wont. Im really scared im gonna lose him and I dont want to. He says if I go into labor when im at my moms thats the only time he'll come down but then he'll leave right away when its over Sad I think he is upset right now but I dont know what to do...What can I do?? I dont wanna lose ryan and I dont want to seperate us and the baby...This is soo flippin confusing!! I need help so please if yall can help us, id really appreciate it.

Awww heather im so sorry to see this happening. Are u going to move back home? U and ryan should look into getting a place for u and ur baby... U should sit down and talk wit ur mom (when she's on one of her good days lol) and explain to her how u feel that ryan should be there also with the child while u and him both raise it as a family.
Ur 17 right? I dont know much about the laws in the us but I think ur able to go out on your own and its your right.
Tell ryan he shouldnt be like this to you. He's supoosed to be supportive and yes he may be upset but ur not allowed to be stresed out in this stage of pregnancy. Try and relax, and really try not to stres about it but talk to btoh of them and maybe even all three of u can sit down and talk and figure out what a good situation would be. Try and help ur mom understand how much ryan needs to be in the baby's life and try to tell ryan that if things dont work out the way u want, he shouldnt be taking it out on u becuz hes upset. He should make the best out of it as he can becuz it may take some time, but u and him could raise the baby together in your own apartment and ur mom should be able to live with that. I hope everything works out and im sorry to see u going thru this Sad

To answer the question of why I have to go back is because of school since im only 17 im not done with high school I have this year left(senior year) but mom is lettin me go to a tech to finish so I can be home with the baby all day. I just got off the phone with her and was on it for like 45min or so and had a long talk. She says once I graduate I can leave, she just wants me to finish school. Shauna I cant leave or stay here unless im 18 otherwise ryans parents can get charged with kidnapping and thats a felony. So that wouldnt be good. Otherwise we would get our own place and raise mackenzie. But mom is settin up my bedroom at home for me and mackenzie to come back(for when mackenzie gets here) so I dont have to do everything. And so I can relax. Shes really excited about the baby and I cant blame her I mean shes gonna be a grandma but its tearin me and ryan apart and it hurts sooo bad because I dont wanna loose him. But we went thru 11months with bein apart(only saw each other on weekends) and im positive we can last another 6months(i turn 18 6months after mackenzie is born), just its gonna be hard. Ryans parents said that theyd come to my moms and visit me and the baby and all that stuff so they support everything that is goin on just as long as me and baby are ok. Angel4ever...My mom wants me to come home in august or somewhere around there so I can have the baby down by my house(moms) im upnorth at my fiance's house and I was gonna stay here and have the baby and start a new life up here..But since im 17 my mom has all the power and says I have to come back..So I have to go back and ryan is very upset and I am too but I dont let it bother me because I know in the end we are gonna be a happy family and the time apart is only gonna be short term. But I hope everything turns out great and I hope baby mackenzie comes out soon!! O by the way...Does mackenzie rose or mackenzie lynn sound good? Mom thought of mackenzie rose and I never thought of that...What yall think?

Aww, sweetie, I understand how u feel. Im sure you dont want it to have to come down to you leaving your mom and never seeing her again. She seems to want whats best for you and mackenzie and she seems excited for you, but she probably dosnt understand how much u will miss ryan and how scared you are of loosing him.
1. Couldnt you go to school where ryan lives? Or is that not an option?
2. If your mom insists you stay with her, couldnt ryan move in too?

You seem so scared of losing ryan, but honestly, I dont think he would ever leave you, just judging from what u say, what he says, and the way you guys are together. He so obviosly loves you and mackenzie. He is probably feeling hurt and confused too. But belive me, hun, I understand how much u need him, especially now.
Im sure yall will figure out some solution to all this. I think its great that both of your families seem supportive.
Keep on posting about it, share all your feelings and between all us girls, your family and your fiance, im sure a solution will come up.

Hey hun,
i am sorry for what you are going through but do you think it is possible that your mother sees something in ryan that you don't? I don't know him very well but it's possible. I mean, I almost married dewitt and moved away and now it has been over a week since he has called! He doesn't really care at all.....And I am so glad my mom didn't let me make that mistake. Ryan might be a good guy but if he really truly loves you, he can wait a few more months. And trust me, when you are trying to adjust to life with a new baby, you will want to be at home. I think it would be good to just think things through, and decide what you really want. Ryan may not always be there, but your mom will. Just think about it hun and I love ya!

Ok well I had a really long talk on the phone with my mom and we made an agreement. She said I come back home go to the tech and if I graduate early I can leave right away but otherwise if I plan out graduate I can leave. She just wants me home from school which I understand, she doesnt want me to end up like her because she was in my shoes and didnt finish school. So I can see were she is comin from. Yes ryan and I are gonna get married but she will not sign the papers because she wants me to be sure he is the one before she does anything. She told me she loves ryan like hes her own and does not hate him. So she doesnt see anything differently. Jordan, I dunno if the laws are different or what but we thought the same thing til we asked ryans lawyer and he said they can get charged with kidnapping. Its stupid, I even said what if im willingly staying? And he said his parents are still allowing me to stay in the house so it would be kidnapping. Its stupid I know. I know my mom will always be there for me but I dont want me kid to grow up or be around smoke(pot and ciggs) or drinking or grow up in the enviroment I had to which was an abusive home. Ryan cant move in cause his job is up here and we need his job since I dont have a job, so basically we are stuck and my mom wants me to go to school down by her. Ryan and I sat down and had a talk durin his lunch break and we are ok now and he is ok with me goin back by my moms..Hes not happy about it but he understands now cause of the schooling. And hes excited because if I graduate early I wont be gone longer than 2months Smile so hopefully everything works out. He wants to make another deal with my mom...Heres the deal: I have the baby up here then when its time for me to start school I will go back. Because ryan wants to be their for when im in labor(hes afraid he'll miss it since hes two hours away). But im sure he'll make it but we'll see what mom has to say about that deal Wink thanks for the help girls yall really do know how to make someone feel good with your replies. Im just really scared that I cant do it by myself..I mean I know I can but I dont wanna type thing ya know? Im really excited that mackenzie will be here soon but its kinda scary at the same time. Ya know what im saying? I was just watchin a show and this girl gave birth and her baby died..I started crying? It was weird..I dont wanna have a stilborn or anything like that id die if that ever happened. Why does that happen?? Does anybody know?
