Young 16 year Old Gives Baby Up For Adoption.

I have recently talked to some women that are part of CafeMom that have just found out they are about to be mothers. I have been one of the first ones to congratulate them. It is a scary time for some, and also exciting as well.

Recently I even read a story about a 16 year old giving birth on Dec 21 and she gave her baby up for adoption. Her story is about how she has no support from her own parents and she know what was best now for her was to give up her child to a couple that lost 3 children already. The young girl got to meet the adopting partent's before they left with their new baby. Its a sad story it brought tears to my eyes as I read her words. I told her to make a journal out of her writting so if the adopted parents keep in contact maybe one day they will share this story with the child they will now be calling their own.

I wish I could of copied it and let you all read it but I did not have her permission. So I can only tell you her gift of life and unselfishness is so wonderful that most women can not do. Her words are so loving as she tells her love for her baby. Yet she agonized over giving her baby to another coupled and in the end she hands over her son.

She has returned home and is expected to act like a child again, go to school and act like this never happened. Yes in her heart and her sole she knows this is impossible. How can she be the same young girl as she once was? My heart goes out to her and my arms wish they could of wrapped around her and told her it would be ok some day. If I get her ok I will copy her story here for all to read. Its heart felt touching and just makes you think.

The Rocker

When I was young I did not have a Rocker when I had my baby we were living with my In-Laws. I did not have a nursery as he shared our room with us. I was 19 when I gave birth and I was marred. It was hard starting out like so many other couples that have a family so young. Money was tight and we needed a hand from our parents. My parents still had children at home so we lived with my In-Laws.

I had always wanted a nursery for my baby. We shared a room with a bed our dresser and a crib when we started out. I did not actually have a nursery until I had my daughter TerryLynn. I had always wanted a Rocker and in this nursery I had one for my daughter. It was old all wood and was given to me. It was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten.

We used the rocker all the time, I would rock Terrylynn to sleep at night as my son played at my feet. My husband was a firefighter and worked shift work. So I raised our babies alone it seems as he was working 14 and 16 hour shifts. It was very hard at times but we did it. She is 27 now with her own little one Erica and we still have the rocker. Now we share it with Erica for story time she is now 4 and loves to have someone read to her. Grandmom thats me gets to even have stories read to me as Erica is now learning how to read in preschool. An I get to sit on the floor while Erica sits in the rocker and reads to me. Its so cute. I have wonderful memories of the times I used to rock my babies in that rocker. My son now 30 and my daughter 27 still sit in the rocker at time.

My Rocker was one of the best gifts I ever got. Purchase a rocker and please tell me how much you love it. Holding your baby so close and rocking them is so wonderful.

This is the first time Ive used this one and its awesome!!!!! It feels SO much safer than the other tubs Ive used! And its cheap!

PRIMO Infant Bath Seat (White)


3 1/2 years old, and we still use this tub! She's tall with long legs, but she still fits and loves her Primo. I'll be so sad when she finally outgrows it.

Ericka loves her new tub - she has SO much room to play now! She is a big girl at almost 8 months old - weighs over 17 lbs and over 27" long. Her legs were too long for the other infant tubs and she was squished on the sides!

No sliding around, just lots of fun!

Daddy loves giving the twins (9 months) a bath together!! This tub really is big!
