Anxious feelings & supportive friends

Well, June 23rd was the day I chose to tell my mom about me being pregnant. I was going to wait until after my first prenatal appointment on June 24th, but I knew I needed to tell her ASAP. I had met with a friend on June 23rd for lunch and after our conversation, I knew I needed to tell my mom right away. I told my mom later that afternoon. My mom wasn't happy. She was sad, disappointed, shocked, and of course felt as if my life was over. It has been a week since I told her and she's handling things much better. The first few days were hard, but now, she is just making sure I'm feeling okay and wants things to go as smooth as possible. I'm glad I told my mom when I did, but I was definitely VERY anxious up until June 23rd. It's much harder when you live with the person!

I definitely feel very blessed at this time in my life. I have always felt blessed in my life, but now, more than ever, it's definitely more than I deserve. All of my friends have been wonderful and all of them have been nothing but supportive. Since I am pregnant out of wedlock, no one is exactly clapping their hands and bringing out balloons, but nevertheless, all of them are supportive and are there for me when I need them. This is definitely an important time in my life when I need all of the support I can get, so I am VERY thankful. I have the best friends in the world! Everyone, including my mom, has reacted better than I thought they would. Yay! : )
