I'm having a baby...

I wasn't really sure how to start this blog off...I guess starting off with a little bit about myself would be a good idea.  My name is Brandy, I'm 29 yrs old and on 3/23/11 I'll be 12 weeks pregnant.

I guess the next best thing would be why am I doing this...I guess I kind of wanted to give an perspective from someone older about an unplanned pregnancy.  TV and tabloids have happily sensationalized teen pregancies...to the point teens think having a baby will make them famous.  What I don't understand is how do those teens even think having babies at their age is a good idea...I'm 29 and I am still wondering if becoming a single parent is a good idea and I have a full time job, health insurance, and come from a good family who will help me out. 


As of right now my immediate family and some close friends know of this little predicament I have gotten myself into.  Soon I'm going have to let work and other people know...though in some ways I'd partially be content with as few people knowing as possible...Maybe thats why its easier to glorify a teen pregnancy over someone older...they must not have any shame...As my blog title states Pregnancy Happens...its kind of my way with coping with the situation oh it happens...but I feel odd about it...someways I feel embarrassed like I'm old enough to have know better and not of gotten myself in this situation...other times I'm happy cause I am going to have a baby...most times panic sets in on how am I really going to afford a baby and who's gonna watch it while I'm at work...and congratulations from doctors and such to me are just awkward of course I say thank you but I'm not so sure I want to be congratulated on this odd accomplishment.

My plan for this blog is just kind of a place for me to write what I think about the whole little ordeal...my version of cameras following me around except I can do my own editing lol...as far as grammar editing you can forget it...I'm not big into correct punctuation and prefer ...over proper endings or beginnings to sentences...I feel like I type the way I speak...I'd rather feel like I'm holding a conversation than giving a lecture...well thats all for now...have a good night y'all
