That is true. Once I went to a club when I was 17 .. Down in downtown disney.. "pleasure island". I don't drink or do drugs. Which apparently, why should I hang out witht hose peeps. Lol but you got a good point.

You know I was just thinking this the other day....If I was a younger girl who wanted a baby and I came into this particular forum, I would say we all make motherhood seem so fun and awesome! Has anyone else realized that? I mean we are all excited about what our babies did today, what we bought them, our ultrasounds and such. Which isn't a bad thing for us..But to a young girl who wants a baby it sounds like so much fun! I wish I could invite them girls to stay with me for a week!!! It won't be as much fun as they think. And even if they can handle it for a week...Whos to say 18 years of that?! Don't get me wrong, my pregnancy was pretty much planned, and I wouldn't trade jayden for anything in the world. And I have said many many times, I have accopmlished more in my life thank I probably would have if I didn't have a baby, because I have to for my daughters sake. Times can get tough. I mean I cannot explain how tiring it is. Like in the mornings after you have stayed up all hours of the night with the baby and not to mention trying to get dishes and laundry done. I dread waking up at 7am!!! But I can count on that every morning! So..After I drag my butt outta bed I have to feed and bathe jayden half asleep!!! By the time the afternoon rolls around I am exhausted!!! But I cannot lay down to take a nap because jayden isn't ready to nap yet. So I have to force myself to stay awake and cheer up to play with my daughter. Finally she may lay down for a nap...And so do i. But she dosen't take long naps, so I get maybe a 2 hr nap. Which now when I wake up I am still tired because I didn't get a decent nap. Eeeeck I hate that feeling when you are so dang tired, but you can't sleep because baby is up. I could go on and on about all the cons of having a child at a young age, but I try not to look at it that way because like I said...My daughter is my world and I wouldn't trade her for anything ever in the entire world. It's just not as easy as it looks or seems. So all you young girls out there..Take my advice and enjoy your teen years. You have the rest of your life to make a family, but you don't have the rest of your life to be a teen/child.

Wow sara.. Sounds so hard! Scares me.. But I soon will know what its like. A tiny bit less then 5 months now! Its creepin up fast!

It can be really hard kari. I mean I love being a mother now that I am one..And I am sure you will too. You will be a great mom...You just have to teach yourself to get some patience. Keep your head up!

Both awesome points from both of you! Motherhood is a blessing and I love it, but it isn't all fun and easy. There are hard parts everytime we turn a corner, every decision we make affects our children and sometimes we don't get a second chance or a "do over". You will do great though kari!

Thanks* I think I will be okay just because I already love this baby more then anything!!! I am starting to get excited* but I know im in for something harder then I can imagine

Wow I know what u mean! I'm pregnant now in my senior year of highschool... I'm missing my prom , my safe grad (the biggest drinking night of the year), and I doubt i'll make it to my grad ceremony.. My 18th b-day... And u dont ever get any of those back. I'm starting to deal with it now but if I woulda planned it, I would have lived my full teenage life before I became pregnant.. So anybody out there who is preg.. Listen to her advice... And this is all coming from moms or moms to be so ur damn sure they aint lying! Lol
