Comments on: The Anniversaries, The Timeline http://newsinglemama.com/543/the-anniversaries-the-timeline/ I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

This summer (end of June) was my 2 year anniversary of getting pregnant, and that entire summer stands out so clearly in my mind. It's so crazy to look back and see how much has changed. Even looking back just 1 year, I can see such a change -- 1 year ago around this time, I was going through my first semester back at school as a single mom. Now I'm about to graduate. Anna was 6 months old then, and she's 18 months old now...

Yeah the good ol pull out method. It'd definitely risky .. but it worked until we didn't. I knew it was possible to get pregnant from pulling, but I also knew the chances were low. Much like my chances at getting pregnant while on BC were low. :D But look what happened! With that kinda chance luck I need to play that damn lottery! Freddie – Thanks for stopping by.

Why were you laughing? Was it because you were happy? Was it because you couldn't believe it? Or was the weed just that good? LOL Oh and what made you take the test? Was it just for the hell of it like I did? Hef – That’s so funny! Why were you laughing? Was it because you were happy? Was it because you couldn’t believe it? Or was the weed just that good? LOL

Oh and what made you take the test? Was it just for the hell of it like I did?

I was very relieved that my pregnancy went awesome for the most part and that my son was and is 100% healthy despite my lifestyle before I was aware of him THANK GOD! Bad memory anniversaries are so hard to deal with .. and I've never really had to before now. I never really had anything all that memorable or bad happen to me. I mean there were unpleasant things that had happened and I remembered the general time frame that they happened in .. but I was pretty much over whatever the memory was so going through the anniversary never hurt me much. Now I know exactly what you mean! Oh and no problem reading your blog. I'm sorry I never stopped by more often. I always had you bookmarked but forgot to add you to my feed and my feed is what I mostly check. I'll start reading up on you more often! Tam – Thank you for the compliments on my son.

However, what really got my attention is the ole pull out method; I thought everyone knew that won’t stop a woman from getting pregnant. I’m glad you took back control over your life. Best wishes always, Freddie Great read, very interesting. However, what really got my attention is the ole pull out method; I thought everyone knew that won’t stop a woman from getting pregnant.

I went back in the other room after taking the test and just started laughing uncontrolably. But I didn't say anything until J was coming to bed that night. Ha. Crazy times. Obviously, I was pregnant. (Hence the Aubster.) And, hey, Nov 3 is my bday. It's a totally good day!
