OT- my teenager's baby coming tomorrow

[cindyg]

Your emotions will be on a roller coaster. Sorrow for your daughter because you know she has hard times coming and you could just throttle her because birth control is so easy these days. On the other hand when you get to hold that little bundle it will be a joyous, happy time for children are always a blessing. I know this from experience. A very special prayer going up for you this evening.

Amie, My prayers are with you all. What a hard time this is for all of you.

Been there done that. Do know if it is a girl or a boy? You will fall in love with the baby, you will have a sense of responsibility that you will want to do all you can to help both of them.

Keep us posted.

Prayers to your family. Keep your chin up and love that little one and help your daughter to be strong too.

Amanda went in at 8pm to have the Cervadil put on her cervix, supposed to help her dialate. At 6am, the pitocin will be hooked up to her IV to force contractions. I tried to tell her that her labor will be twice as hard with pitocin, but she's tired of being pregnant. See, my son is the father although I really care about this girl,too. I'm just so disgusted that this happend. I'm 36 years old!! And, tomorrow is my son's 19th b-day!! The baby is coming on his b-day! That was supposed to be MY baby's b-day, not this baby's. I know, I'm acting rotten. I hope I feel different when it gets here. Thankyou ALL for your support and sweet comments, they really do help!! I will let you know as soon as it gets here, love...Amie )

Sorry I thought it was your daughter. I didn't realise it was your son. Not that it makes any difference really. A new little life is coming into the world and I'm sure you will be there for the three of them because they are probably going to need all the help they can get.
Good luck and God Bless

I know it is hard and you are disappointed but you can't change what has happened. Best to look forward and remember children are a gift from God. Your son and the mother will have to do some growing up.

I believe everything happens for a reason and I'm sure this child will be a blessing.

I'm praying for a healthy, happy baby!

quilterbee, it's ok to feel however you feel. These situations are difficult and emotional. We want things to go well for our kids and when these things happen unexpectedly, well, it stirs up all kinds of feelings in us. Lots of us are walking around today being the result of teenage parents who didn't have a clue, and it doesn't always turn out negative. Some of the most unplanned babies turn out to be the light of our life and a real source of joy to us in ways we can't imagine before they arrive. Regardless of the situation the baby is coming into, he or she is a precious gift, deserving and needing much love. I've often heard it said that we don't always get what we want, but we usually get what we need. This new little grandchild may turn out to be the most incredible gift you've ever received. We can't help how we feel about things, and it's good that you're able to vent your feelings to us. These feelings have to go somewhere! We're here to support you thru this and we'll have you in our hearts and prayers. We don't know all the circumstances that make you feel how you do right now, but your kids need you and we applaud you for rising to the occasion, as only a mom can do.

So why don't you just try being happy for them. Sounds like you're making this all about you. It's not about you, it's about them and their new baby. Your grandchild. Instead of fighting it, why don't you try embracing it.

I think Georgiapeach summed it up beautifully.
