I am pregnant... approximately 8 weeks and 4 days today. My due date is January 29, 2008.
The father (who for now will remain nameless to give him a chance to get his head out of his ass & admit some responsibility) and I initially met online back in January and chatted for awhile. We eventually met in person and seemed to click. Well he initially said he was interested in me then he changed his story and decided that he wanted to find someone closer to his own age (I am 28 and he is 21 - ya ya robbing the cradle etc). I will admit that I fell HARD for him, harder than I realized at first.
Anyways, I was on the pill. After over a year of trying with my ex with no luck, I go on the pill, not wanting to get pregnant and VOILA! Go friggen figure!
Justin and Levi know about the baby and they know who the baby's Daddy is and they are excited about being big brothers! They are hoping for a girl!!
Right now the father is being a pig-headed dipshit about the entire pregnancy thing... obviously he says he is not ready to be a Dad and doesn't want to be a Dad to someone he is not committed to - in other words we are not in a comitted relationship so he wants NOTHING to do with his own child! I have told him that when he gets enough balls to inform his parents that if they want to be a part of their grandchild's life I will welcome them - it should not be his decision whether or not they choose to be a part of the baby's life! My only concern is that he won't tell his parents at all - but its ok I know where his father lives AND I also know that he has a great deal of family here in town!!!
Stupid thing is I have 3 different guys that I correspond with online as friends only and they have all said that they wished the baby was theirs BUT the one who is the actual father is running scared...
On a side note: I am hiring a doula so that I have labor support regardless of who attends the birth with me! I would hire one anyways, I had a doula when I had Levi and she was AWESOME!
I am very thankful to have some awesome friends who have vowed to support me through this...
