Realizing Responsibilities.

This post is a little bit from frustration.. I know someone that may possibly be pregnant. She was not on birth control and used no protection at the time. Its too early for her to tell yet if she is, but I am talking to her a little bit here and there cause she came to me with the concern that she could be. I asked her if she wanted to be, and her response was..."well I think it would be an experience, so yeah I kinda do want to be". That right there really got me going cause she said is in such a nonchalant way...

Girls these days are getting so wrapped up in these teen mom shows and the 16 and pregnant shows and the cute little baby part of things. There is sooooo much more to bringing a baby into the world. Its really kinda selfish of girls to want to bring a baby into the world when they are far from ready.. What I mean by that is, this girl I am talking about has no support system, shes not married and she has no boyfriend to take care of her and she doesnt have the best group of friends and Im not sure how much her family will be willing to help. She told her now ex boyfriend that she may be pregnant, and he shows no sign of caring in the slightest.

Yes, Niels and I were caught off guard when I got pregnant, but I was on birth control and it failed me... No we are still not prepared for Addison to come home with us when the day comes, but is anyone really ever TRULY prepared?! We are now realizing how much diapers we are going to need and how expensive they are and we know that we are going to be up all hours of the night with her and that we need strollers, car seats, a crib, play mats, baby bath tub, clothes, on top of the bills we already have. Dont get me wrong Im not mad at any of these things, my point is... these girls forget about ALL these very important things! These things never stop either cause they keep growing!

I guess now that I am pregnant I take these things to heart more. I just love this little girl so much that I cant imagine bringing her into a broken home. I could never do this without my husband. It just breaks me to think that people could forget about all the important parts of bringing a child into the world. Addison is one of the best accidents that has ever happened to Niels and I. And YES we are so wrapped up in the how cute she is going to be part! But we are also not forgetting the importance of her needs and we will do everything we possibly can to prepare for her homecoming! I just wish people would be more careful when they are having sex and i wish people wouldnt forget about the consequence along with it.

SO there! Thats my two cents! :]
