Okay world, last update I gave you was my promotion in Dec of 2009. At the time that I got promoted I was nearly eight months pregnant with a baby boy and was counting down the days for him to make his grand entrance to the world. I was very ready to have the baby.

I have to say that I was very nervous about the birth and extremely nervous about being a first time mom. I had reservations about being a single parent, but at age 29(my age) I figured I could deal with it. Yes I know that being a single parent in the Army is not an easy task but I fell in love with my little boy the first time I heard his little heartbeat at the doctor’s office.
Did I ever think in a million years that I would have a baby at 29 and not be married, not at all Some people even told me that I was behind the power curve as far as having children because most of my friend that have children, had them when they were in their early twenties. When I met my son’s father in Korea did I ever in a million year think that he would be my son’s father; probably not.

I did not know how my son’s father would react to the news and if we were going to end up on the Maury show because of his inability to be a responsible man. We were not in a relationship at the time I became pregnant nor are we in a relationship now. I never thought that I would end up a (Baby’s Momma). “I have a degree,” I replied to one of my friends in response to the title that is so loosely used in society. The term Baby’s Momma has such a stigma attached to it. Because I graduated from college I never thought that I could be put in such a category. I will be the first to tell you that books smarts does not prevent pregnancy.
 

Never the less the baby was one the way whether I was ready or not.
