It's instinct. You'll do fine and you'll
be a wonderful father. If you have
questions feel free to come around here.
:) good luck!
Josh, you are a wonderful young man for
taking responsibility for your actions.
As a teen mother, it makes all the
difference when there is adequate support.
She is going to go through a lot of
different emotions once the baby is born
and so will you. A baby adds stress to a
life that you never dreamed of. It's
worth it, I promise. I wasn't able to go
to college after high school. I had been
accepted into pre-med at penn state and
found out the weekend I graduated from
high school that I was pregnant. I
married my baby's father and we ended up
having another child four years later.
After seven years in a relationship that
never should have gone that far, we
divorced. It was messy. The battle for
our children was even messier.
Eventually, I went back to school. I am
a surgeon's assistant and have enrolled in
law school. I am 28 now with a 10 year
old and a 5 1/2 year old. I won't sugar
coat it. It is going to be very
difficult, but from what I can tell from
your posting, you're up for it. Just be
good to her and love that baby. The rest
will come naturally.
