Teenage Pregnancy: Part 2

As you all have read i am writing about teenage pregnancy.
And i just so happen to be a teenage mother.
So i feel like this would be a great subject for me to touch on and let others know just how hard it is to be a parent at succh a young age.
When i became pregnant at the age of 16 i was doing all sorts of crazy things. I was partying and engaging into pre-marital sex.
(Well duh right i was pregnant)
I was doing things like sneeking around to do things my mom wouldnt let me do.
Im sure there was plenty of other things that i was doing that i can not think of right off hand.
But im sure you all get the picture.
While i was pregnant with my little man i realized that i really needed to grow up... A lot!
Because when little Levi came into this world i wouldn't be able to do all those so called fun things that i was doing before.
I really didn't want to be known as that teen parent that doesn't care about her son and party's all the time.
And I'm defiantly not that type of parent and never plan to be!
I want to set a good example for Levi so when he grows up he isn't doing all the things i was at such a young age.



Now that i am a mommy i have finally realized that it is not as easy as it looks to be a parent.
I have had to give up everything.
I don't have a social life, because i don't have many friends that actually keep in touch with me much.
Honestly i care but then again i don't because that's more time for my little man!
I do really miss spending time with them though.
But Levi is way more important to me now.
As hard as it may be i feel like i am a great parent to Levi and i will not let anyone tell me other wise.

  1. you are so sweet lindy. I remember when you got pregnant... I wanted nothing more than to love you and help you through it!! I cannot even imagine how hard that was. You have done amazingly though... and im very proud of you. Levi is so well loved, you can tell. He is a doll.

    We can all learn from our past tho and I think you've figured out certain things you should stop doing or change... and I think the Lord uses times in our life that arent always easy to refine us and grow us. He is going to use Levi more and more in your life, just wait!! my kids have grown me so much.

    Love reading your blogs :)
