I always wanted to start a family before I was 30. Of course I also pictured falling madly in love, getting married, buying a home, and then having babies. But, I also always said that I was more nervous about marraige than children. You can't just fall out of love and divorce your children. Be careful what you wish for, because the universe gave me exactly what I never knew I always wanted.
I still find it funny that I spent most of my adult life in long term relationships; 4, 7, and 2 years. And, after 6 months of embracing singlehood, that is when I'm given the much wanted accidental pregnancy. The timing couldn't have been worse or better.
This way I am able to completely focus on myself and the life growing inside of me, without worrying about pleasing a man, or comprimise, or negative energy. Lets face it, most men kind of freak out, even the ones who think they are ready. I'm just glad that I don't have to deal with that.
I think that it also helps that I come from line of strong independent single mothers. This is what I know. I never had a father around, or grandfather. So, is it really a surprise that I'm comforable raising a child on my own? Correction, raising a child with my army of women.
