Finding Out

When I found out I was pregnant at 21 I had a rush of emotions. I was so utterly surprised that I wasn't even sure how to react. I had always had irregular periods because of my Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and even birth control did not regulate it. I was told that because of the PCOS, I would most likely have problems getting pregnant. so you can imagine my surprise as a senior in college when I held the positive pregnancy test in my hand.

After the initial impact of the news, I had time to actually soak it all in. I went and told John at his DJing gig that night and when I saw the smile on his face, I knew that everything was going to be okay. John had proposed to me in November, 4 months before I became pregnant, and I couldn't have been more excited to start the rest of my life with him. I knew he was who I wanted to be with, so finding out I was pregnant did not make me feel like I was going to be stuck with someone who I wasn't sure about.

But then reality set it. Big decisions needed to be made. Anxiety attacked me full force. Hormones always found a way into turning me into a blubbering mess. And worst of all, I had no control over any of it.

So here I am, 21 and pregnant. I have the rest of my life in front of me and a baby on the way. The emotional roller coaster I have been on since the day I found out is actually why I wanted to start this blog. Some of the things I have gone through might be unique to my situation, but I hope that this blog will still be relatable to other young moms.

Even I don't know where this blog is going to take me because my situation changes everyday, but I am inviting you to join me for the ride. Enjoy!
