My Baby's Blog, seen by the world.

hi maple_kisses, you have such a nice blog.Can you help me make a nice site like that.It's so colorful and beautiful. It really is a good site to see. And what's wrong with being a single Mom? You are doing great. You are right not to deprive you son with real world. And I guess when He gets a bit older and understand all the things in you sites, He would be very proud of you. Keep it up.Hope to help me do such a beautiful site...thanks

Keep your head up, everything will be fine. Be proud of your son. I had a similar situation. I was never married though. My son father abandoned us and he never looked back. My little man is almost 7 years old now and I have no regrets. He's the best thing that ever happened to me, as your son is to you. Your doing the right thing. Don't hide him show him off with pride

You should be proud of yourself for doing it alone even when your relatives and friends have deserted you. There are worse things in life than carrying an illegitimate child. And if your family and friends who've abandoned you call themselves religious, then they are hypocrites as well. Because all babies are precious and are blessings from the Lord. The sins of the father (and/or the mother) should never be visited upon the child. Good luck on your baby and hope he comes out perfectly healthy.

hi maple_kisses

you are not a bad mother you are just proud. why hide your baby. he's a blessing. whatever happened you should be proud. take care and just always pray.

Hello Dear Maple
Indeed you are not.
To the contrary you are to be admired for your devotion to your beloved child Nicholas.
Many Mothers, single or whatever their status, do not deserve to be a Mommy, but it is clear by this action that you have shared with us, that your love for your child can reach no bounds..
Now what can be wrong with that?
A child that is wanted and loved even before birth will grow up to be a strong loving man and also love his Mother unconditionally and be able to pass that same strong love on to his own children if there be any.
You see that love is a bond.
xooxoxoxo Hugs

Your blog is very nice, and I don't think there's anything wrong with having a blog about your baby's arrival. (The only thing I think you should be careful about is mentioning any reason to be "ashamed". Your baby and being ashamed don't belong in the same conversation, and there's no reason to associate him with "shame". Be a proud mother, enjoy your new baby, and don't let other people's opinions opinions (or mention of them) be a part of your life, or your blog.

I have a few blogs, and one is an adoption blog (because I have one grown, adopted, son). I have another one about women, and I've included writing about being a mother/having my kids. I do use a pen name to keep from embarrassing anybody, but I've sometimes wondered if it's kind of "exploiting" people in my life just to write online. I don't think so, though, because my kids (even though they're grown) are such a big part of my life, how can I have blogs or write and not include references to them? I've always just kind of been proud of how much I love them, and there's a part of me that thinks too few mothers feel free to talk about what's good about being a mother and what's good about their children.

No, I do not think you are a bad mother for doing this. It is what you think that matters.

Will your baby appreciate it when he is grown up, when he is an adult? I hope he does. It would be nice if I could look back to my childhood on the everday things I done. I will check out your blog.

no ma'am i will not tell u, you re a bad mother. i think u are gingto be a wonderful mother. i think nico's father is a jerk for doing that but if he is that kind of person yu don't need him anyway,.i have been where you are & know what you are going through but it will all work out & the people that are standing by u now family or friends are the ones u need to be with. the rest of them can go to the devil & probably will.take care of yourself & little nico.

Being a single mom is not wrong!! STOP thinking like that. I think that there's nothing wrong with it. It's your choice, you are a strong woman to do that.:) Well, who cares what people think, as long as you think it's the right thing to do? Would they rather you kill an innocent life? Have they actually thought about it? have they thought about what you want? For me, it's always up to you. Never regret things. As long as you thought about it and you're happy with the choice you make, you will not regret it. Because every decision has a concequence. As long as you're able to handle it, what is the issue?
As for me.. OMg.. I like your idea for your blog, you talk about how it is going through pregnancy.. which I think I'll do that the next time and also read through your blog and the other blogs that advice you and helps you get through your pregnancy.. It's a great experience but a real scary one as well.. And it's not like there's so many people you can vent to about your feelings, and the best things to do when you want to vent is to write it down.:)
So for me, I like your blog, I think it's a really nice thing to do for pregnant moms, soon to be pregnant moms, and a really nice dairy for your child to read when grows up as well.:) I don't think you're a bad mother, I think you're a really smart one, and also really proud to be pregnant and ready to share everything with your child.
I wish you all the best! Take care!!
