congrats on the great blood tests! I'm going to call and make an appointment today, I think.
I'm so sorry to be a downer and rant, but you ladies are the only ones that know about this besides OH. turns out he's not taking it as well as I thought. he actually saw my tests today and was basically like "oh shit, so this is for real?"
typical man. he had to see it before he freaked out.
we both work almost full time jobs but not "careers" at all. I'm still going to school. he told me there is no way he can support anyone else financially right now.
which is true- I doubt I can support a baby on my own either- but I also know we'd get help from our parents and families when we needed it.
I was afraid to tell him how much I want this baby as it would probably scare him more. he was carefully trying to bring up other options (i.e. get rid of it) which I don't even want to consider. that scares me more than having a child. I know he's young and scared and we really don't have the money that people typically do when they are ready for a family, but I'm convinced there's some way to make this work. I don't want to do it alone, but I'm afraid he'll never come around to being excited if that was his initial reaction.
I'm trying not to get too stressed out. I just wish this had happened at a better time for us. he's talked about kids, but in the future. he's not dumb, and knows there is a right time and a wrong time. just want it to work out right now!
I'm trying to think positive and maybe back off for a while to give him time to think. anyway, off to work, have a lovely tuesday everyone!
lol
