| Good luck to you! The daddy may come around, I hope he does. She may just win his heart all on her own, little girls have a way of doing that to their daddies |

| We'll see. He's asked me to "Not contact him anymore"-the only conversations we have are now legal ones and the great debate as to reasons why to keep vs. adopt still. I've made up my mind. He's also changed his profiles to "Single"...whatever. Further, one last thing, he's upset that his father's side of his family knows about the pregnancy and his mother's side. *grr* Hey! The baby's movin' again! She can already do the "running man"; the YMCA and I think she'd be a NATURAL at home design as it feels like she'd be inclined to reposition a lot of furniture and such...ouch my ovaries and bladder. lol ------ANYONE on here that really doesn't think it's a good idea for a single mom at 25 to try and raise a little one on her own, speak up! I don't want to hear all the beautiful and wonderful things about my decision only, while I do appreciate that too! I'd like to be prepared and not blind sided, so opinions matter to me to some degree! Thanks again- |

when I responded in the other thread but since you did -- I agree!! How does someone so dead set against having children leave the birth control up to the other person? It's great when everything goes your way but you have no one to blame but yourself when it doesn't. Anyway, congratulations!!! Taylor Anne is a very pretty name.

| Thank You!!! Itspuppyluv- I really must say THANK YOU and give you a HUGE HUG- I'm probably the most open minded person you'll ever meet and am not offended easily in the slightest. Don't hesitate to say anything on your mind...as long as it's legal to post on the forums anyway-lol (you can always e-mail me hateful words! If you were ever so inclined to do so! ). It's one of the ways I learn is by listening to others experiences; mistakes; regrets; happinesses and so on and develop my own opinions based off of them. |

| It just shows his immaturity. You, on the other hand, don't have that luxury. With all the commotion going on about the baby, enjoy your pregnancy, it is one of the most wonderful things in the world. |

| Taylor Anne is a beautiful name. I hope the father changes his mind but if not, it is truly his loss. Regardless of his feelings (or lack thereof) for you, I cannot imagine his being able to turn his back on his precious baby girl. |

| My nephew is about a year old now and his dad is a dead beat. If the father want's nothing to do with her, don't presure him too. I know it might be hard not to, but you will be thankful you didn't in the end. My nephew's dad went through a stage where he wanted nothing to do with his son, and as soon as my sister started hanging out with other guys he wanted to get involved. I really wish she had of just cut ties with him completly when that was what he wanted, because since the baby has been born he has not so much as bought a SINGLE pack of diapers.. yet he still feels he has the right to see his son. I really think he only chooses to see him now to spite my sister. (It's all a long, complicated, twisted mess) This guy lived in my house the entire time my sister was prego with no job and he expected my parents to provide him with everything. Then after the baby was born his grandparents got them a place that he kicked my sister and his son out of after about 2 weeks! So if he doesn't want to be involved be thankful, because he probably wouldn't be the type of father you would want in her life anyway! |

I’m not completely unsympathetic towards the father but I’m a strong believer in taking responsibility for one’s actions, even when the outcome isn’t what you expected or wanted. I have a nephew that I am very close to that is a young dad. It isn’t what he wanted or what I would have chosen for him at this age but none of that changes the fact that his child is here. He freaked out when he first learned of the pregnancy but he is a great dad. He pays child support, puts money into an account for her and takes her every Tuesday, Thursday and every other weekend. He agreed to this with the mother, without any lawyers involved. I am proud of him but, really, he isn't doing anything special. Just what he should be doing. It doesn’t sound promising with the father now but Jodi is right -- babies have an amazing effect on people. If not, it really is his loss. Huge hugs back to you. I think you are going to be a wonderful mom and you have your family behind you. You will both be just fine.

| I had children when I was 19 and 21. I was married but we had very little money. We are divorced now and I remarried. I am sure you can do it with your parents help and go after the Father for chiild support.
