found out today i'm gunna be a dad...well i knew but it was confirmed today. see, my girl had a thing in her blood and they didnt think the baby would develop. but today, she is 7 months preggy. its a girl, Skyler Marie. I'm 19 and live @ home so breaking it to the parents should be fun... me and my girl both work, good jobs, and are looking to move out in bout a month, so it shouldnt be to bad. but sadly id have to say my spending on car audio will be on hold for a lil while.

Don't worry bout it, it's a blessing, not a drawback or a hindrance :thumbsup . I had a hard time when I had my girl, but I wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything.

Agreed.

When I first found this community is when I moved out of my dads because my girl was prego.

If it wasnt for her being pregnant I probably would of never found this place.

I hope you either have good insurance....Its not cheap. FOrmula is mighty expensive. You would never imagine how much a little kid can crap/pee either...lol

Bu t that was over 5 years ago now :)

You need to look into your state's medicaid programs. In Oklahoma, we have a program called SoonerCare, which basically pays for everything for all the prenatal car, hospital bills and the first year of the Babies life doctor bills and such. It is income based, but it's doubtful you make enough to disqualify you, and since your not married, she would be the qualifyer. Also look into the WIC program. that will cover Formula if she doesn't breast-feed or certian types of food for her (the mom) if she does. Even if you have insurance, look into the program as even insurance doesn't cover everything and you will need all the money you can get. Its a great thing having kids, I should now, I have 3! and I have utilized WIC and Soonercare for 2 of them. Its worth it and not in any way charity. It is there for the people who need it.

oh and a lil side note to scarrell, condoms were used each and everytime... so dont put to much trust into those things... sometimes they work, and sometimes they dont

Same thing with birth control...

That pill doesnt always work 100%....But I guess factoring in the odds it was due...

Go figure :cheers:
