Calling all moms (and grandmoms)....

All I can say is yikes. 7 months, how could she not know? She is in some serious denial. Wow Kim, my heartfelt best wishes for you and your family in this one.

Yup, she was in some serious denial. I think she still is in some aspects.

She's been in denial all night about how the father of the baby is going to react. She's on the phone telling her boyfriend right now and I don't think its going well because she started out talking on the couch and then suddenly ran upstairs This is the one thing I've worried most about for her. It'll crush her if he runs away... her mom did it to her and she has trust issues thanks to that. We can't imagine what it'll do to her if the father of her baby leaves her too

At least she's seeing how much the rest of her friends and family are supporting her. She started tearing up when I showed her the emails from my neighbor and my SIL about them giving us wonderful stuff for the baby (both families have 1 year old babies so they're thrilled ot get rid of all the infant stuff LOL) I don't think she realized just how much people are here for her.

Oh Kim, my heart aches for your poor daughter. Bless her heart, she has had a major bomb dropped on her, and so very young to deal with all of this. It's really going to be devastating if her boyfriend dumps her now. She is really going to need you right now, and I have no doubt that your arms are already open for her.

Well, he took it pretty bad. He cried and refused to believe her... then really didn't believe her when she told him when its due.

On a fun note, I went and copied the ticker Christine used for her baby, and made one for my grandbaby. Of course its a cat!

I think adoption should be considered. She's obviously not ready to be a parent; nor is the father. Do what's best for the baby. Many couples can't conceive that want to.

To clarify a pregnancy is really 10 months, so Kims grandbaby is due in nearly 3 months...so its really more like 6 months in the terms that people are use to...but still....

I would think if she was intimate with her boyfriend he would have noticed the hard belly...she must not have put much weight on.

Now back to her, poor girl, she is not the first teenager to have sex for sure but she is in a low percentage of those girls to become a teen mother. I think this will actually help the family, it may be hard on you all but it seems at least how you and hubby are handling it that this may bring everyone together.

I hope the boyfriend when he gets over the shock is nicer about it, he may not be the best dad but this baby has a right to know his or her father and hopefully won't feel abandanded like she had to.
