I was a single mum up until i got married 6/11/04 DH and i were only together for 5 months before we married, and my son Xander is 18 months old on 1/1/05. Was on my own from day one, throughout pregnancy and from birth. Luckily had very supportive parents, as i was only 18 years old, turned 19 6 weeks before Xander was born. Was very lonely, as being so young, relationships with men near my age never seemed to work - they wanted to go clubbing and drinking, and i was at home looking after a baby. I was luckily enough to have a good friend Ryan who stuck by me and listened everytime i cried about another failed relationship. One day i realised that i had more than just friendly feelings for ryan, and a relationship developed. 3 weeks later, he proposed and i accepted. That night (approx) our son was conceived, and we decided to bring our wedding forward. and just before our 6 month anniversary we joined hands in matrimony. I never thought any guy would want me and my son (i know it sounds awful, but Xanders dad is a possibility of 2 guys, one told me he shot blanks, and recently got one of my friends preggers, and the other was just a casual friend, and although we used condoms, one broke... but ryan says he's Xanders Dad, and the other 2 have made it clear they want nothing to do with my gorgeous little boy) Ryan and i are expecting our second child on 7/4/04.
