** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** I first created my life plan when I was 16. I would grow up, go to college, find a job, find a husband and start a family. Most everyone has this plan and for most people, it works out. They go to college, they start a job, find the love of their life and have 2.5 kids. But unlike other kids my age, I also came up with a back up plan, or a Plan B, if you will. Plan B was, if when I reach 30, I'm not married, I would adopt a child. Destination Baby “Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.” - Debra Ginsberg I'm not quite to 30 yet, but it's become clear to me with many failed attempts at dating and a hectic and demanding work schedule, marriage is not something that will be happening in the immediate future. This brings my Plan B into some new light. I've gotten to a point in my life where I'm stable in my career and my life has become an every day grind. Wake up, go to work, come home, rinse and repeat. I have nothing that motivates me. So I've decided that it's time I become a single mother. Despite what all the naysayers think about single mothers, I believe it can be done and I believe that I will do it and do it well. So this will be a chronicling of that journey. It will chronicle the ups and downs of preparing for pregnancy, getting pregnant, being pregnant and ultimately, the end game -- the baby. |
