Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

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.

I’m the Happiest Woman in the World! :)

Posted on | February 10, 2009 | 4 Comments

I had an OBGYN appointment today .. listened to baby’s heartbeat, got my blood work done (which I actually survived ok except when I fainted afterward in the hallway for some reason? They’ll check the baby for Down Syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis through my blood) but .. I’m REALLY happy because next Thursday I GET TO SEE MY BABY!!! YAY!!! And hopefully find out the sex.

I’m so excited but so nervous. I’ve been waiting for this moment a loooooooong time and finally the suspense will (hopefully) be broken.

It’s so nice that I’ve gotten to a point that when my baby is involved I get overwhelmingly happy and nothing else matters. I love him SO much and I am so happy I have him. Daddy doesn’t matter, Thumper doesn’t matter, fake friends don’t matter. Just the little miracle in my belly that I can’t wait to have in my arms :)

I’ve been feeling a little better. I know my life can be what I make of it and I won’t let these men bring me down any more. They are not worth it and I am worth more than that. I’m searching for my own independence and self worth, I’m searching within myself to be the strong, confident woman I need to be not only for myself but for my baby. I can’t reach rock bottom like this any more. It’s just not healthy for either of us.

    You’re rockin this, girl.

    And don’t beat yourself up for feeling down sometimes.

    Oh, and I’m still thinking you’ve got a baby boy on your hands (er… in you belly).
