  Well, it isn't anyones business if you do or don't get married.  I had my son when I was 16.  I didn't get married,  people were very kind.  There were those select few that I am sure had their opinions about it but they didn't matter to me anyway.

  I remember how excited I was at being pregnant.  There were times I wanted it to hurry but at the same time I was afraid of the future.  You will have doubts and worries.  Relax and know everything will be fine.  You find that most people are very supportive than disagreeable.  Hang in there.

  Congratulations hopeandfaith!
  
  I am PBW, please call me Paper.
  
  I am a mother of two girls, ages 7 and  4.  Motherhood has changed my life; being a mother is something I will not pass the chance of being again if there is an afterlife.
  
  You have the best moms here in SoulCast to turn to - all were present in the previous blog before this - the one announcing the great news...
  
  As for the unthinking people, you have the right attitude!  They are missing a lot if they are the way they are...your baby shower for example....what do you think of having one here virtually? 
  
  A nice lady called Gingersoul could arrange one here for you, she is good in drumming up members of SoulCast community together!
  
  I´ll be here if you want a tip or two....what I´ve learned though: mommies know best.  You could ask experienced moms, consult books, surf in the net...in the end you will know what is best for your child.  Instinct, see?!  Our instinct as mom´s tells us to nurture and love.
  
  Warm regards,
  
  paper~

  A  hello to say I thought of you today and hoped you were doing well.  It was like you were someone I knew and I smiled when I realized I didn't, except as a SC buddy.  Anyway, I want to re-comment something I wrote in answer to a blog about rude people---Just say, "You are not in my audience." And leave it at that.  Your "audience" only includes the people who really matter, starting with you and your baby.  Anyone else is up to you.  Also, I remember being scared, too.  I was afraid to give mine a bath, of all things.  After the first time, I realized he was not going to break or anything.  We all go through it, but in less than a day, you realize you don't want anyone else doing these things--because you are the Mom.  (This too shall pass, and the moment will come when you say, "Here, you hold him/her a minute." ) There will be plenty of people wanting to do it.  It will all be absolutely fine. Happy, Happy, Joy Joy!

  Hope.......i like Bridget Jones...:-)  {{hugs}}

  Its the way you are that akes you unique, right? I like to read you consider yourslef a strong woman ..so be the best you can be...

  Dont get too hurt by other people rude and closed mind comments...they cant touch you, do they?

  Dont be pressured to be different ...you are you..others will always try to bring themselves as the perfect examples, forcing you with their religious and personal points of view...

  its called society...you live in it...:-)

  but but now you have this important job to take care of....you chose to be a mom, you wil see what unexpected strenght and clarity of choices your decision will bring you...even if now it looks like you are just a the beginning of a confusing roller coaster...well, you are...LOL...brace youself..

  its natural to be scared and confused, honey....but there are a lot of moms here at SC ...so as sweetie Paper said...just stay  here and we all help you..

  Paper.... that baby shower is a great idea...i will set up one post as soon as hope wil give me permission..it will be a pleasure to host it for you, hope....:-)  

  Wonbie....i was afraid to simply make her burp...imagine that..lol....i was like...oh, what if she slips from my hands and bumps her face on the floor...crazy fears like this....i was afraid she would suffocate during her sleeping...or scratching her face with her tiny nails...or crying in the other room while i was taking a shower..or that there was too noise for her to sleep...lol...but she and I survived...
