A Dad's Perspective

Hi I can't help but notice that a lot of guys don't want to be dads and I just don't understand it. I'm a dad and I am so greatful that God gave me my son he is truly the greatest blessing in my life. My wife and I don't earn a lot of money and raising a child is very difficult but with Gods help we find a way. We have just discovered that my wife is pregnant again and it will increase our problems but I'm not unhappy. In fact I am so happy I wish to scream it to the world. Having a child is amazing I often just sit and watch my son who is 3 now and I am amazed watching him discover his own abilities and failures.

I Respect All of You

Hi Becky, It has been over a year since I first emailed you about being pregnant to my friend and he wanted nothing to do with it.

Even though I have been through the hard struggle of dealing with abortion or pregnancy and choosing to keep my son Noah Jay who is now 8 1/2 months and a whooping 10kgs!!!! I still visit your site regularly and read the stories of other people and there hard decisions to make and I am still admired by everyone's story and the decision at the end.

I Started to Panic!

I have been married for a year and a half now to my best friend of eight years. My husband works while I continue to finish my university, online as I think I am a little past my uni years. In May this year I found out that I was that I was pregnant for the first time in my life. It felt like I was waking up with a massive hangover everyday- vomiting, headaches, back pains, my breasts were extremely sore, I always needed to pee, I was always hungry and I suddenly started hating the smell of scented candles-something I've loved my WHOLE life by the way. So I took a pee test. The instructions said I had to wait three- four minutes. I wasn't afraid, I was sure I wasn't pregnant like I've never been sure of anything else in my life before. One minute into the pee test hadn't gone by and I started to see a second red line appearing. I can not share with you all how shocked I was. After the time frame had passed two very bold red lines were starring at me. Freaked out, I went to the closest pharmacy and bought ten more pee tests with all the loose cash my husband left in his car.

Dear Becky, I'm excited to have someone like you for support! My due date is January 30th. Your story is incredible and I look up to you for the way you have learned to live. You are a very good person and have a lot to offer! I wish more people knew about you and the website. I have recently been involved in a pregnancy center in my area. I had to get proof of pregnancy for medicaid so I went to them.

I am actively involved in a program they have called "Earn While You Learn". I go every week for and hour or so. I watch a video, do a work sheet,and receive homework for the week. I earn "baby bucks" to spend in a boutique they have full of baby things and necessities. I am currently saving them all until after the baby shower.
