I went and saw an amazing pregnacy center called REAL CHOICES. They have been so helpful!!! They didn't tell what to choice with the child just gave you the 3 options (keeping, adoption and abortion )and talked and showed videos of women who have gone through all 3 situations.
They gave me an ultrasound- I am 7 weeks along and the baby is due Nov 27th and I even heard the beautiful heartbeat :-) I am keeping the child. I know it will be hard, and I am still working and looking for income to create while working at home, so far all is good. God has shown himself to me in many ways and I feel so blessed.
They helped me with resources for free maternity or baby cloths, low cost baby products and doctors, I am really at a good state right now.

I have come to realize that whay my ex chooses to do should have nothing with what I am. I am a strong, powerful woman and I can take care of this and my other child(he still watches and engages with her very much and his very good father) I know that this child is coming for a reason and maybe that is why. To show me how strong I can be. I do thank everyone for the support on my post and all the others. It shows that this world is filled with so many good people who want to help.

I also have a meeting with my church, a pastoral counseling and also the single parents ministry who are going to help me with resources and avenues. Low cost items and such and babysitting when needed. Thank you to everyone everywhere for everything. :-)

Hi Jennifer,

What a great post to read. It sounds like you've made it over the hump to the place of peace with accepting the unexpected! I agree with you; God has been blessing you with grace.

I'm so pleased to hear you've found some good support venues for yourself and your little ones, too. The Pregnancy Resource Center sounds very ideal in it's service and I'm especially glad you are getting plugged into your church. I am always so thankful for the 'family' I have at our church, too, and it's good to build one another up in the faith and share each others lives.

I loved reading this update from you - congratulations! I hope to hear more.

With Kindness,

Heather
