So my news is big for me but I want to say that when I first heard about it I was not excited. My daughter Jasmine is going to have a baby. While this is, as I know, an everyday occurrance, Jasmine is not married, 18 and finishing her first year of college. I suppose right not I am just trying to be supportive because I don't think she really has a clue how this will change her life. The young man who is the father is also being supportive and has stepped up to the plate ( they have been together about 2 years)
So I'm torn between a whole lot of worry and some excitement and then trying to balance them together. She's not due until October so there is a lot of time for adjustments but I wanted to share because somedays it seems like the kind of news you share and other days it seems like I shouldn't be telling anyone!
A new baby is always a blessing, but sometimes the timing is a bit awkward. Teen pregnancy is a lot more common now, and is rarely the deep, dark secret it used to be.
ReplyDeleteMay you all do what you can to make this a happy time for your daughter and the father, as they start being grownups a bit earlier than planned!
Congrats!
I'm sure she appreciates your support. Her life it definitely about to change!
