I do want his parents to be there and I half agree with the name thing. I know that if I put his name in the baby's name (Like if I was to give the baby both his name and mine) that his parents would not be so pissed off (cause I'm guessing they will be in some way). Right now I have a good relationship with them and they seem like they really want to know whats going on. They called me the day of my appointment to see how it was. That made me feel better.

Like sea stone said, well said. I totally agree and I don't want him back. Ive had a lot of time to think about it and if he loved me as much as I thought he did he would be acting differently about this. He actually deleted me off of his facebook because I started going out with my ex again (Thats what I think anyway). They way I see it is that I'm not going to stress if he's going to be there or not. If he wants to be there after it's born he can have visitation rights. If not then I'm not going to force him because it would hurt the baby.

I'm in college right now, to be a psychologist. I'm going to take a semester off (maybe a year cause I'm breastfeeding) then I'm going back and my mom is going to watch him/her for me. I don't have a job while I'm in school but I work over the summer full time, I'm going to look for a secretary job for this summer though cause being on my feet all day being prego would suck big time.

Ok so I think I answered all the questions (sorry I don't get on that much). I had my doctors appointment on Thursday and I heard the heart beat. It was awesome, what a load off my shoulders. I heard so many horror stories about the baby dieing but they person didn't know till after their doctors appointment 2 weeks later. The baby is healthy and everything was fine, I gained a pound which made me happy. I'm also getting a bigger belly, I'll post the pic's in the preggers pic section when I get the chance. I hope all is well with everyone else, I'll keep you posted if anything else comes up.

This is kinda sad in a way but, I am glad to see that you've got everything under control. Your family and your friends are your support system in this, which takes a significant amount of stress off of you. What's sad about it though is that this happens to a lot of women these days who think that the guy is going to be honest and own up to his responsibilities.

My friend Beatriz is pretty much going through the same thing except now, she took the baby's daddy to court for child support (which was the best thing she could have done for the baby) and even went a few steps further; she got a job, started going back to school and even found herself a guy that - so far, at least from what I have been seeing - is treating her right. They now are on their way too marriage with their second child.

Of course, not every story goes like this and in many cases, people - more times than none - aren't that lucky but, I just want you to know that I'm pullin' for ya. My prayers go out to you and the baby.
