I had gotten pregnant when I was 21, and even though I wasn't a teenage mom I still had alot of growing up to do. My life consisted of college, a part time job, and partying with friends.
Amen I first found out I was pregnant I was very excited and remember thinking "this is going to be great, babies are so cute and fun, and I'm going to have one of my own." I knew that I would need to stop paying and grow up to provide for my little bundle of joy... but that was kind of a given.
And through my pregnancy all I ever heard were words of encouragement and how amazing children are. Only every now and then would someone tell me how "hard" it COULD be. Looking back at it now I just wish someone would have told me the truth.
The ugly truth that no one tells new mom's in fear of either making them cry or changing their minds about parenthood all together.
I have 2 children now and have come to terms with those ugly truths. Many other moms that I talk to have as well. So I'm going to clear the air on some stuff. I hope, no... I pray that some mom's don't have to encounter ALL of these truths, but if you do, trust me... it's okay.
