Hello... my name's Holly. I'm eighteen, and in January, I gave birth to my daughter Sabella. Even though I'm young, she's my entire world. I really don't know what I'd do without her in my life...
I'm going to use this blog to document Sabella's life, and my life with her. Being a teen mom, I've found out, is definitely not easy. I wasn't expecting it to be. But there's great times through the hardships, and I want to share that with the world, along with all the terrible times that occur.
I'd like to say I'm going to post everyday, because that's maybe what a good 'blogger' would do, but I have a terrible memory, so I'm just going to post when I remember... hopefully at least a few times a week. This is also going to act as a publicized version of my journal... I won't be posting super personal stuff, but I will be posting things about my life that are relevant to Sabella, and have a purpose. (AKA, I won't just post that, "Today was good. I made grilled cheese. I like the moon.")
Let me note, I 100% support the use of birth control... I was on the pill - and using it properly - when I got pregnant, which just proves that nothing is ever totally protecting you. I didn't use a condom - which was stupid, considering I could have gotten an STD (thank the good lord I didn't!) - but that is definitely what I should have done, and maybe if I had, I wouldn't be in the situation I am in right now.
Another note, I would honestly not take back my decisions... first to not get an abortion, then to keep her... but I DO wish that I could have had her at a later time in my life... I had originally wanted to wait to have kids until I was 26. But I love my Bella, and she's my entire world.
I hope you enjoy reading about our lives.
