Topic : Having a Baby Has Changed My Life

After reading this to myself and then reading this out aloud to my hubby, we both have to say that this message says it all!! 

We have a a beautiful daughter, Stephanie who is now 3 and a half years of age and yes its so hard to think of what she was like as a tiny baby girl. I think it's more than time to pull out her baby videos and have a good look!! LOL!!  

Stephanie has gone from a tiny little one who at birth was so peaceful and has been up until now, we know only too well how blessed we are to have such a wonderful child. God has been soooooo good to us. 

Yes, Stephanie is most definately her own little person in so many ways, she just amazes my hubby and I with all the things that she does and says and we know that the day will come that she will get married and have her own children(if thats what she and her hubby wants). I'm just glad that that will not be for many years to come as hubby and I want our little girl to stay with us as long as possible!! LOL!! 

Yes, children do change your life, but it's a very good change and to those of us that have been blessed with God's Gifts(Children) you will more than understand that 110%. 

TAKE CARE and enjoy your families, LOVE KELLY. 

 I am 18 years old and I have a son that is 15 months old. I became pregnant with him when I was barely 16. I was terrified and depressed because i had no idea what I was going to do. My sons father and I decided that we could do this and that we were going to raise our child. So as time went on, I became more and more excited about having a child. Almost a month before my son was born my boyfriend and I moved in together and thats when I realized what he was really like. He wasn't the person that I thought he was. We had been dating for like a year and a half before I became pregnant and all that time he was pretending to be someone that he wasn't. I was scared because I didn't know what to do, he was really the only person I could depend on, so like a stupid teenager I decided to stay and deal with the problems and try to work things out for the sake of my child. That's when things got really bad, he became so controlling and manipulative he made me feel like I was nothing, like I didn't exist in his world. On the very few times we went out as a couple, he acted like he was embarassed of me because I was pregnant. I felt so dirty and ashamed because if he looked at me that way who else did? So as the last few months of my pregnancy went on, I just tried to remind myself that I would be having a child soon and I had to learn to act more mature and try my best to be the mother that my son deserves. Finally, that special day came and I went into labor at my best friends house. I just remember being so scared out of my mind I had no idea what to do, but my friends mother was there and she helped me a lot. My boyfriend didnt get there until we were on our way to the hospital. He was with his friends and didnt want to be bothered until it was almost time to have our son. He told me he hated  me and that I was a b. Words cant describe how much that hurt me. I couldn't believe that he could say that to me when I was in labor with his child!!  So after 24 hours of labor, 3 hrs of pushing, 4 epidurals that didn't work finally I had my angel baby by C-Section. I was really drugged up so I can't really remember seeing him for the 1st time, but I can remember his beautiful cry. it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I finally started to get a clear head about an hour after the birth and that's when I finally got to hold my son. He was beyond beautiful, he looked up at me and it was like an instant connection, he knew I was his mother and I knew he was my son. It was the best day of my life. I love my son in so many different ways, he is the best thing that has ever happend to me. If it wasn't for him, I don't know where I would be. He is my angel baby. 

I totally agree, I am 21 yrs old now (just) lol i had my son at the age of 20, Bailey will be 1 next month, boy it's changed me and my life too. 

There has been so many things i have learnt to adapt to and overcome, like my fear of spiders. (haha) 

I am a mother and a wife, we only have the one child at the moment, but it is such a joy to have had my son growing inside me and then to hold him in my arms for the first time, was such a special moment for me, one i had waited for and longed for for a very long time. 

My husband at the time, too was very unstable, didn't have a full time job and we could hardly pay the bills we had coming in, since getting married My husband has become a manager of a company, has been given a company vichele and also we are now living comfortably. 

Our baby has bought so much happiness and joy to our lives and i can't imagine life any other way! 

It's great news to hear things are working out for you too, and i hope to talk again soon.

I never wanted children.  I actually wanted my tubes tied at 16, but no one would do it.  I am so thankful now.    I was 25 and in the Marines when I got pregnant from a 2 week relationship with a man that I currently cannot seem to get along with.  While I was still scared and iffy even at 8-months pregnant, I never imagined how much he would change me. 

Evan, my son, makes me want to be a better person and he keeps me searching for truth and goodness in this world.  I am an attachment parent and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I have patience that I never knew existed and I finally know what unconditional love feels like.  I love my son, not only that but I also like him too.  He makes me feel like my life has a purpose and I feel so important and needed.   

When he sleeps so peacefully and snuggles in so close I swear I cry everytime and he is 18-months old now.  He warms my heart and renews my soul.  If it weren't for him I hate to think of where I would have ended up.
