Well, I didn't get the abortion. Thank goodness :) I am 6 wks and 5 days along as of 12/5. I've been reading, and my baby is the size of a BB gun pellet. That's tiny!!! I'm progressing fairly well, i've been very tired though. So that isn't so great, but I know my baby is in there nice and safe. Once again, being in an independent living facility (based in an apartment setting) is really great, except for the fact that I can get kicked out in a matter of 1-3 months. So i've recieved a lot of support and I appreciate it, SO much. Thanks everyone!!
If you hadn't read my post before, my name is Lyndsey and i'm from Richmond, VA. I'm 19 years old as of 10/17 and it has been a long, hard 19 years of life. I never, ever want my baby to go thru everything I did. It's terrible to look back and know how much I went thru, but it's reassuring to know that I made it this far.
Learning that I was pregnant was exciting, but it was also scary. It was so much to think about and consider and re-consider. I made the mistake of letting others influence me to the point of almost having an abortion, what I felt may have been the biggest mistake I have ever made. Thank goodness I couldn't do it, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life and likely never forgive myself. I'm so thankful that I didn't go thru with it, and despite the fact that I may have to struggle beyond comparision, i'm ready and i'm willing to do whatever I can for my unborn child....
