  Ok....I just started reading you....uh oh....you up for this girl?  How do think he will handle the news?  Did you tell him yet?
   
  Good luck sweet girl!

  What a wonderful Holiday Surprise!  Congratulations!  The best advice from this Mom is to hold on to and remember each and every moment.  They grow so fast!  Mine are grown and I still replay the "mind tape" of when I was pregnant, when they were born, days of pushing strollers in a quiet park...  It's all good, even the days when you may be tired.  And Oh, the soft little baby skin and sweet smell of the top of their little heads. Enjoy and rejoice.  Big hugs from Wombat!

  I agree with wombat.  Enjoy every moment with them they grow up so fast. Maybe you might start a journal and write down your feelings, dates to remember and anything you feel is important.  Later on you can give it to your child.  Also trust your instincts.  You will love the feel and smell of a baby. Good luck!

  Yes, I told him.
  The conversation went like this...
   
  Hope: Hey, how are you?
  Him:Fine ,how are you?
  Hope: Great, Do you have time to talk?
  Him:Yeah, What's up?
  Hope: I'm pregnant
  Him:What?!
  Hope: Yeah, I'm pregnant.I just found out two seconds ago.
  Him:What are you gonna do?
  Hope:This is my baby and I am keeping it.I don't expect this to change things and I don't want anything from you.I just thought the right thing to do would be to tell you.
  Him:......SILENCE....
  Hope: Well, I have to make a doctor's appointment so I'd better let you go.Goodbye.
   
   
  I really don't expect anything from him.I don't expect him to come crawling back.I don't want him.I could never live with myself knowing that the reason he came back was because of a baby and not because he loved me and wanted to be with me.Some of you might feel that is selfish but I want to teach by baby to reach for the stars and never settle for anything less then what you strive for.I strive for extraordinary love.I want to be with someone that knows without a shadow of a doubt that they want to be with me,and that I am their first and only choice.I.By no means would I keep him away from the baby.If he chooses to be apart of his life,great.If not, that's fine too.I can do it.I have an amazing network of friends and family.I am so blessed.
  This is so surreal.I can't believe I am pregnant.My approximate due date is August 20th.I am so blessed.

  What an appropiate name-hopeandfaith--is this not in the stars?  Whatever happens with "HIM" (and you never know, I'm sure he needs time to absorb this as well) you have already demonstrated a strength and level-headedness that could only mean one thing.  You can handle whatever the future holds.  I don't even know you, but am like a proud grandma here. I'm not much of a "blogger" but I am a woman.  I hope you, above all else, take care of yourself and never doubt that faith you have. Love to you "both."

• Lioness said on Dec 27, 2006....

  Wow, that is good news. Congratulations to you...
  
  (sorry can't give you any advice just yet.. still not a mom)
  

• dailyachesandpains said on Dec 27, 2006....

  Congratulations!!!
   
  My Pregnancy advice would be:
  1.  Ask for the epidural the minute you get in, even if you're not in pain.
  2.  After you have the baby, they tell you to push on your stomach...do it a little longer and with more pressure.  In other words, make it as flat as a pancake!
   
  That's all I've got for right now. 
   
  Again, Congratulations!!!

  Hope....you are pregnant?

  wow... for a moment i thought there was another hopeandfaith at Sc...i have to go and check your previous blog...no, its was really you..

  two days ago you were almost dying  because you saw the girl he left you for at that store...and now you are pregnant of his baby....What a twist in the story...:-).

  But if you are happy i am happy for you.

  I hope you have a financial base and i am happy you will have the support of your family and friends during the pregnancy and soon after. The first years of a baby and a mom is the most difficutl and the most amazing.

  My daughter is 11 but i still remember perfectly the first time i felt her moving in my belly....you will see...its something magical......for me it was like i felt tiny butterflies scratching the inside of my belly......my heart skipped a beat and i thought....."finally, baby, you gave me a sign"...i was 5 months pregnant and we were waiting impatiently for her first move...my friends were telling me of having felt moving and kicking much earlier than me....but my baby was lazy...she took her time...:-)..

  You will have crazy fears and crazy dreams....but dont you worry.....its only hormones...lol......you and your baby will be ok...

  Any question, ask...{{{{hugs}}}}

  Btw......congratulations for your attitude....only from your words i know you are going to be ok.....oh, an August baby...:-)

  congrats dear.
   
  yeah youre doing the right thing for keeping the baby.
   
  just be strong. and remember you have us here in soulcast!!!!

• boyzmom said on Dec 28, 2006....

  Congratulations! I recommend you read the baby's first year books and what to expect when you are expecting. I think those books will answer most of the questions you will have during this time. If you don't have time to read them, keep them handy for when you have questions and use them as references. Don't forget that books don't have all the answers and hopefully you'll have a good doctor to talk to also. Good Luck!

• secretlife said on Dec 28, 2006....

  Congratulations.  I agree with boyzmom, What to Expect When You're Expecting really is a very helpful book that answers so many questions.
   
  I recommend you make a doctor's appt, and he'll give you the monster pregnancy vitamins...
   
  I wish you all the luck in the world.
  Be happy.

• Mamie said on Dec 28, 2006....

  dear Hope, this is a miracle with your name on it! I am so happy for you and I am so happy for your joy! All good advice above, hope you have family close by to share the fun with....best in'07, Mamie

• willowice said on Dec 28, 2006....

  Like everyone else congratulations, I have one child 8 years old now and I still look at him and think wow what a wonderful gift God has given us.  I work where he goes to school and I'll watch him playing in the playground or in the classroom sometimes and feel so much love for him.  You have been beautifully blessed and your attitude is wonderful I'm so excited for you.  It's unfortunate that Dad didn't have much to say but it's great that if he feels he wants to be a part of the baby's life that you will allow it.  Wow I can't wait to hear how your months will go it will seem slow at times but stay positive having a child is scary, exciting, overwhelming, gratifying and I could go on and on.  Hug your child everyday and tell him you love him every single day as many times as you can time flys so fast and then their grown I'm already feeling that and he's only 8 but just yesterday he was in kindergarten and now he's in the third grade.  anyway enough rambling congratulations and my prayers and thoughts are with you and the future little one.

• ForgottenHeart said on Dec 28, 2006....

  Congratulations. I can give advice. I am a 3 time mom. If you have questions/concerns or just want to cry. I can listen. Plus I have a moms forum that you can join for support.

• twinboyzmama said on Dec 28, 2006....

  Wow, congratulations! Remembering my pregnancy and the birth of my twins brings back a lot of memories... and not all good. The advice I can offer is to always remember that they are worth WHATEVER you endure and no matter HOW they come. A dear friend of mine once told me that God will not give you more than you can handle. This is good advice to remember when things get tough! Congrats again!

• lovdatcat said on Dec 28, 2006....

  I was 16 when I got pregnant, 17 when I gave birth. It was the best time of my life. I love my son so much and couldn't imagine life with out him. You will look at the world in a totally different way. Congratulations! I am truly happy for you. Enjoy every moment of it.

• justop26 said on Dec 28, 2006....

  Congratulations, hopeandfaith!  I didn't use to read you, but this is a great way to start!  I hope everything, from carrying your baby on your belly to the birth to him/her growing up goes out extremely alright! :D
  
  Never forget you have us here in SC, to support you and root for you!  CONGRATULATIONS!
  
  P.S.: Oh, and sorry for not giving you any advice, but I'm no dad yet... so I've got no experience.  Better to keep quiet than mess up your baby :P
  

• SaltwaterPearl said on Dec 29, 2006....

  Congratulations hopeandfaith! I'm new here so I hope you don't mind me commenting. I'm a Mum of one and I live by the motto "A child is always a blessing, no matter when they come". As for advice, the best I can give is to follow your instincts. Over the next nine months everyone you meet, even random strangers at the bus stop, will give you some snippet of advice. If it sounds good to you store it away, if it doesn't sound right throw it away. If you try to follow every piece of advice you're given you'll end up chasing your tail.
  
  Congrats again & good luck,
