around three years ago.

it blows my mind 110% that around 3 years ago i found out i was pregnant.
i don't remember the exact date because being 17 and pregnant, you don't really think "wow! i'm going to want to remember this day for the rest of my life." haha
i remember being so sick and tired but had no idea. i asked my friend to bring my a pregnancy test thinking it wouldn't be positive and i was just being silly.
i met my friend after first period and went in the bathroom and i just felt awkward.
this is a little tmi, but the second i pee'd on that stick, it had a positive sign.
i had zero idea what to think, but i had ten million things going through my mind at once.
what am i going to do? do i tell anyone? what are my parents going to do/say? are they going to kick me out? (i knew they probably wouldn't.) can i do this?
i was 17 years old, two months away from when i was suppose to graduate, short more than a few credits. really, what was i doing?
i remember telling my friend and walking to my next class crying hysterically. and that was the one time in my whole entire life i decided to "sluff."
i went to walmart, got subway, and prenatal vitamins, and then went and sat on the bleachers at my school. all i remember is being in complete shock. just in a daze.
now fast forward three years. (okay, really just nine months.)
i couldn't be more thankful for that day. it changed my life. (obviously.)
i knew it wasn't all about me, and i had to put someone before myself for once in my whole life.
i had to stop everything i was doing and change my life dramatically.
i can honestly say being pregnant saved my life. i can't imagine where i would even be today had i not gotten pregnant.

time has flown and i can't believe how happy atty has made me.
i'm so thankful that even though i might have been young, and not ready, god blessed me with such an amazing baby girl. his timing is everything, and always right, even if it doesn't seem like it.
