so, I shared in the back room here at the LIly Pad, and I need to tell ya'll.
because this is more than a forum I hang it, you are some of my most favorite invisible friends ever! tee hee
I have been so out of it lately and I'm sorry.
Real life shot me a few doozies....but we are almost back on track.
One of my twin daughters (she just turned 17), has been sneaking out with a man, and yep she got pregnant.
A horrible blow to us.
We love our little girl, and wanted more than anything to have her stay with us thru the whole pregnancy, support and take care of her.
The man has really rose up, he is now working 2 jobs, and we met him today. He is not who I would pick for my daughter, but I believe he will love her and work and support her. I will grow to love him, as he loves his child and mine!
The will be getting married as soon as possible, and his family is supporting him too in this decision.
They are all coming over Monday night for a BBQ. So, sorry I have been a bit out of it...my life is a bit squishy right now!
 
Wow, Anne, that is a lot to deal with. I will be praying for you as you love your daughter and her new husband in this. I know that the Lord will be your strength as it is evident from your life and testimony that He has proved himself faithful to you.
 
Wishing you and your family the strength to face the challenges that come with such young parenthood. If your daughter is anything like you, everything will be fine. (((HUGS)))
 
There is a wonderful quote in the After the Rain Lilypad Collab for Sabrina Dupre: "She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails." To me, this quote resonates strength, courage and hope. Sending strength and hugs to you and your family as you "adjust your sails."
 
Oh Anne, I got chills reading this. I'm so sorry. I can just imagine how you're feeling, especially after all you did when you went offline awhile back. At least you're all a very loving family. She has support no matter what. A lot of young mothers don't have that. I wish your whole family all the best. You're in my thoughts & prayers. I think we all know you'll be a flippin' amazing Grandma :heartslub
 
that is a lot, but the way ya'll have rose up to the occasion is amazing. Looks like you're all making lemonade out of all those lemons. Hugs and prayers to all of you!
 
Gotta love those curve balls life throws. I feel you, and feel for you. I was you a few years back, only I was the mother of the dad-to-be. My granddaughter was born when my son was 16. I'm really glad for you that everyone is working together. It didn't go quite so smoothly in my case. The girl's mother and step-father wouldn't even talk to me and they shipped her off out of state to live with her dad for most of the pregnancy. It was a rough, rough time. The crazy was beyond crazy. They didn't stay together (thankfully, because she's still crazy :giggle), but I'm very, very proud of the father my son has become. I wish you all the best and I know you'll be an amazing grandmother!!
 
Silver lining, you get to be a Grandma! And my mom says that's even BETTER than being a mom with your own kids. :)

Hugs to you and your family. Soon you'll have a new baby to scrap about!

^^^^^ This. :)

And I was a young mom. I was raped and pregnant at 18. It was rough, but it was worth it. :) She'll be fine, and you guys are amazing... that baby is going to be so spoiled!!!
 
You are a wonderful, strong, woman for being supportive of your daughter. So many parents are not, and it's very sad. Teen pregnancy is probably something every parent worries about, whether they have boys or girls, or both. In the end, an innocent life is coming into the world. A life that did not ask to be born, and I think you will be a wonderful grandmother once the initial shock wears off. My parents were so very upset with me, when I got pregnant 4 months after graduating high school. There was yelling, threats to my boyfriend (who they were very right about unfortunately), and my parents left the house to talk and stuff. A few hours later, my parents came home with a small gift for the baby, and they've been the best grandparents ever since!
 
That's hard for you Anne, such a tough time! But at the end will be a beautiful and much adored baby! And that is always very cool indeed. xx
 
Congratulations! It may not be what you would have chosen but I do see that you will be an amazing Grandma and children are always a blessing of the Lord. Continue to let your light shine here and be an example to us all.
 
Oh, so young, but it looks like they have it all figured out and have lots of family support. Here's hoping for the best for all of you.
 
Wow, Anne, that is a lot to deal with. I will be praying for you
 
Oh, Anne, I am so sorry to hear all that you're family is going through. But it sounds as if you are handling it with lots of grace and love! I'll be praying for your daughter, her marriage, and the joining of two families. Oh, and especially for this precious baby that I know is going to be loved so well. <3
 
They are so lucky to have their families' support! God will get you through this one and that baby is sooooo lucky to be getting you as grandma!!!! Hugs and prayers sent your way!
 
Praying for you Anne! It sounds like you are looking at the bright side of things. I'll pray for your daughter, new grandchild and SIL as well!
