Lost in Society.

Posted by AmandaElaine in Untagged

So. In January I lost my 2nd baby. I took a slight break from the SUG network. and, I got a new love, Tim. and I moved out, and tried life on my own. I was doing SO GOOD. I even got my period in April... I have a fertile body, so it doesnt take much for me to gett pregnant. Okay. so I turned 18 April 21st, and I have been doing great. I broke up with Tim over me wanting to go to Washington. This saturday, I'm going to Washington. Catch... I'm 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant. it's a fight. all of it. I'm so lost!!! I think everyday.. I'm 18, and if everything worked... i'd be a mom of 3. i really hope i can carry a healthy baby full term. til then, i'll float in the sea of uncertainty. <3

6 month landmark

Posted by Izzi in Untagged

Hi everyone, 

My little ones are now at the six month mark, and it's been a hell of a road getting here. Up to about three weeks ago they still were waking up three, four, times a night and I was getting snowed under with Uni work that I felt I really couldn't get done. I think I was about two assignments away from dropping out. But now I feel like things are getting easier the older the twins get.

My Feet Are Killing Me

Posted by AletheaLaReina in Untagged

Well, my feet are beginning to swell. It's the worse pain ever. I'm a shoe person, not much of a sandal person. Well, my shoe now fits me super tight. I can walk in them fine, but when it's time to take my shoes off, I can see my sock lining marks and they hurt. 

So, I decided to just stop wearing my shoes for the pain. Today, I tried my leather sandals, and oh gosh, worse!

The Nursery Room

Posted by AletheaLaReina in Untagged

Though, we haven't started painting or really anything in the Nursery Room, we do already have plans. My husband and I already know what color the room is going to be painted, the theme, there is still nothing there.

There isn't even a crib in the room yet. My husband and I are still using the soon-to-be Nursery Room. At the moment that is still our room. I am 26 weeks pregnant and that worries me. I just hate that there is nothing. We have clothing, diapers, wipes, few things like that. That also worries me. I feel like we should have everything prepared. Time is going by so fast. I'm just so worried that when the baby comes, there will be nothing.

26 years and still scared.

At 16 I became pregnant my 1st pregnancy but aborted because of my studies (not advised). I then had my 2nd pregnancy, I had the baby! My first. I was then pregnant again 2 years after my 1st, my 3rd pregnancy. I aborted the pregnancy at 20 weeks I could not make the decision to keep the child because of the situation, i did not know the father very well and i did not want to bring somebody into this world without knowing the father well, i am so upset after all these years and still remember carring the child, and after the abortion operation a sense of relief but months and years after a sense regret and guilt. I now to date have just had another, my 4th pregnancy and wanting more 7 to be exact, so thats 2 down, 5 to go. I do not plan on going nowhere, so I will need support and many comments now and then. But please all out there I know some may be young think twice about your abortion and dont listen to what your friends say, let pride get in the way. London,uk.

Very Light But They Are There.... Stretchmarks!

Posted by AletheaLaReina in Untagged 

AletheaLaReina

Today, I just realized that I had very light stretchmarks. Well, I didn't my mother told me. She was helping get a skirt on and because we were close to the window, they were visible.

I kind of freaked out. I wasn't looking forward to that part of the pregnancy. I hoped so much that I wouldn't get any. Though they are tiny, they are there. I was a little worried until I spoke to my husband about it. I told him and he was disturbed.
