I aksed her that, she said she thought it was just gas or indigestion.

Geesh, no wonder she had 3 servings of tacos the other night! She's been eating for TWO!

She must have truly been fooling herself, well one things for sure she is going to grow up real fast now! Before she knows it she will be upset with her daughter for wearing her clothes too tight!

Thats what we told her, that she'll have one kid just as stubborn as she was and all she'll do is pray that the kid won't make the same mistake she did, then groan when the kid does. I told her paybacks were awful bwahahahahaha... at least she smiled at that one.

**Corinna** · 03-23-2006, 04:46 PM

Gosh Kim. So much to take in for both of you! She is due three days after my Robyn (Christiansmommy) and I think the day before Sara Loves Her Tinky (I think she is due on the 28th). There will be a population explosion here on PT this summer.

I am glad you got her to smile. I think this is going to be a turning point in your relationship.

OMG 7 MONTHS!!

Pam is right...

She is due the day before me.. But I am OBVIOUSLY pregnant... and the baby flips and turns all the time..

I really feel like this is going to make you guys closer. And thank GOD it isn't twins.... This thread has been an amazing turn of events in every way. She will be in my prayers. Too bad you couldn't find out what the baby is... then you can go SHOPPING!!!

**Laura's Babies** · 03-23-2006, 05:33 PM

I tell you one thing, she was in some mighty serious denial to think for a second that the baby moving was indigestion.. By this time, that little thing was stretching, kicking, doing flips and stuff, especially at night when she was trying to sleep!

JUNE? Hay! That shower better get in the works asap! Shucks, and I have to go to work next week and will be gone for 4 weeks.... DOG GONE! Maybe you can do it in MAY and I will be home... I am SOooooo excited for you Kim. This opens another whole new world to you, a whole new "role", new shoes to fill... So EXCITING! I am so happy I could just dance, dance, dance!

**chrangharris** · 03-23-2006, 06:48 PM

Wow Kim! What a day for you guys! I'm sure you are all in shock and have a ton of different emotions going on- I know I do and I was planning on a baby! The U/S pictures are amazing! Congratulations and good luck with dealing/sorting everything out!

**jazzcat** · 03-23-2006, 06:56 PM

WOWZA! What a rollercoaster ride this thread is. I've been gone all day and now I sit down to read this. First I fell off my seat at the two heartbeats. Once I climbed back up and read on to discover she is 7 months along with just one I had to stop to pick my chin up off the desk. WOW!!!! Things are moving quickly here!

If it affected me this way I can't imagine how you guys must feel.

**trayi52** · 03-24-2006, 07:36 AM

Wow! Kim just heard the news! This is wonderful! You, Corinna, and me are all having grandbabies. I say we are all very lucky women.

We are all going to do just fine as grandmommys. Kim, you will love it!

Congratulations to you and your hubby on becoming grandparents!!

Willie

Guys, we keep asking her HOW she didn't know, especially when it started to look pretty obvious this past week that she's pregnant. I have the feeling in the next few days she'll really start to "pop". I'm going to ask her if we can take a photo to save in her scrapbook just how she looked when she realized she was pregnant... which isn't all that much! We thought she might be around 3-4 months along because it really is just a puffy belly right now. I swear to you, when my family saw her this past Sunday, they had no clue. She was showing enough that we noticed but nobody else did. And it wasn't like she sat on the couch - she was on the floor playing with their toddlers and chasing after them, etc.

She was in some serious denial. I have the feeling if we didn't confront her, she'd have gone about thinking she just got fat and then woke us up on June 27th saying she's got appendicitis or something. I'm telling you that a part of her doubted it even after we heard a heart beat. You should have seen her face when the ultrasound tech showed the first glimpse of the baby on the screen.

As for adoption, the doctor brought it up, she considered it for a few hours until she saw the baby in the ultrasound. I told her that she needs to decide what SHE wants and that we'd be behind her 100% whichever way she chose. She chose to keep the baby (which thrilled hubby to no end.... oh by the way, hubby is as excited as I am now that we're over the initial shock) Believe me, this baby will never want for love and attention. Just because its a complete surprise and to a teen mother does not mean he's (or she's) unwanted.

Even though this situation is less than ideal, with the kind of love and support you and your hubby are offering, your step-daughter as well as your grandchild can have a happy and fulfilling life. This may not be what she wanted for this time in her life, but with your guidance and help, she has a good chance of seeing her life unfold in a positive way. Kudos to you and hubby for being willing to help her regardless of the poor choices she may have made.
