This is beautiful and your journaling is sincere and honest. You sound like you were very mature and responsible at 15. If only all teenage mothers were the same. Some would have terminated the pregnancy - so bless you for giving life to your baby and for loving him. You can't turn back the clock, so for those who treat you differently - phooey on them. Don't waste a minute of time for them. Move on, and enjoy being a mom!!
This is sure a heart warming LO! Sure to be a very precious LO one day in the future. Very brave of you to do the Lo but also very brave of you to have been that teen Mom. Great work girl.
Great LO!! Excellent journaling, and believe me I admire what you did and the decision you made! I had a friend who was a teen Mom and she too thinks it was the best decision of her life!!
Jill, thanks for sharing with us your story. Don't be too hard on yourself, im sure you have raised a fine boy and I commend you for that. Love the page design as well. :)
Wow this has gone straight into my favs! I love the PP and the buttons, the journaling is wonderful! Look how cute you look at 15 with baby Justin! you look so happy! the colors and patterns in this layout show a happy moment!
Beautiful LO....you have my support, and it is so important to share, so that other can learn and not feel alone, no one ever know what life will hand them...but those of us who make the best of our choices will always be happy in our journey!
I too believe "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!" I think your layout is fabulous. Your son is lucky to have you for a mom. I got married young and I got the same kinds of looks and comments as someone who is pregnant young. I kind of know the feeling. I have since divorced and I was told I was never going to have kids and went through infertility doctors and the whole nine. When I got divorced my friend hooked me up with her boss who was also going through a divorce and guess what!? We had a beautiful baby girl together and we are getting married. Anyone who judges people usually have issues with themselves! Love your layout and bravo for being so strong and having your baby and being you!
Congratulations on being such a strong person! You are right, you shouldn't let anyone's thoughts get to you. You took a rough situation and made the best of it and I personally think that is great! Great job on the layout as well, it looks really nice!
Layout for the March Let's Play Challenge. This layout talks about my thoughs on having my son at the age of 15..journaling reads "This is a very sensitive topic for me but I felt it was important to talk about. Yes, I had Justin at a very young age- I was 15 to be exact. Now everyone has their thoughts & opinions on teen pregnancy but I wouldn't change having Justin when I did for the world. I won't lie to you and say that it was easy being a teenage mother and having to raise a baby & go to school but he motivated me to make something of my life. I don't honestly know if I'd be where I am today if it wasn't for him. Still to this very day at the age of 25 some people treat me very differently knowing that I had my first child at 15 but if they don't like it that's THEIR problem, not mine. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I LOVE YOU JUSTIN AND WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING!" thanks for looking :]
