Hi, my name is erin. im 15 years old and 7 months pregnate. i know your thinking im young. and i am way to young to have a baby. i dont know if this is a website for this kind of stuff, i dont know if im doing this comment thing right, all i know is i could use some help, and im guessing most of the people who come on this are much older and ready and could maybe help me out a bit if they didnt mind. well first off i am keeping the baby, i know i have other options i can do and i was thinking about them as well, but than i had my first ultra sound, and i dont know whay, but i cried, and fell in love. i knew i wasnt ready, i knew i didnt know anything about it, but i also knew that was my baby, that baby is growing inside of me she was my daughter, and from there on i was willing to do anything to make myself a young, but good mother to her! yes its a girl, her name will be Hayden Lynn. my mom is so supportive of me and so is my father. i come from a really good home up north. i have one full sister and a half sister they both also are a big help. the dad, well i can say more for him than most 15 year old boys, he is here helping as muc as he can, he is trying to get a job to help support her, we both still go to school, and were working on our permit. he is a lot of help, emotionally, and physically. but anyway, i have been doing things around the house to get paid, and when i get paid i buy hayden stuff. i bought her changing table. i have bought her clothes, and some medical stuff she will need. though i feel bad my mom has to help me with everything i know i do the best i can. i also go to lots of doctor appointments and baby classes to learn as much as possible so i can be a better mom. but even though i buy her stuff and yea its great i go to classes, i still dont know how to do things. i dont know how to give a baby a bath, change a new born, feed her right, make her bottle, hold her the right way, pick up after her, burp her, i dont even know why you burp babies yet. and another thing, i have to be harpped on to take care of my gunie pig, how am i supose to handle and take care of a baby. i know some of you might be thinking im young, no nothing, there fore should give her up. but i dont want to, i want to raise her. i wanna take care of her, love her, be there for her, i wanna be the one she comes to when she has her first kiss, her first date, her first heart break. i wanna be there when she is walking down the isle. i wanna take her to the park and play games with her. i wanna be her mom. i know i should have waited, but it happened, and im going to work at it to make it better.please if you have any advise or comments to help me, please comment back.
