Your sweetie will only know what a wonderful mommy and daddy you are and that's all that matters... <BR/><BR/>My parents were married July 9, 78 and I was born Dec 31, 78... hmmm. yeah... i was super preemie ;) But you know what??? I have the best, most loving, giving parents ever, and I don't care when or why they got married... I've never even asked them about it... It's moot... They rock... <BR/><BR/>I'm sure he will feel the same way someday... {{hug}}MommyMomentshttp://www.mommymoments.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-10245792852048548522008-05-13T07:05:00.000-07:002008-05-13T07:05:00.000-07:00i.love.this.post.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08281237800161723776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-15212822726945622162008-05-12T15:08:00.000-07:002008-05-12T15:08:00.000-07:00Thank you for writing this.<BR/>Your start is/was very similar to that of Rav & I.

I'm crying.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Maybe you'll get lucky. My cousins who are now well into their 30s (almost 40) have NEVER confronted their mother about the fact that my oldest cousin, Mike, was born less than nine months after their wedding. Of course that family is full of unhealthy non-communicative issues but still, you know... ;) Kidding, I think that you have a great story and it will be invaluable to your kids...The Kept Womanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06139481165589786016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-62904620458821876172008-05-12T10:48:00.000-07:002008-05-12T10:48:00.000-07:00Although I was a bit older, 26, and we had been engaged for a year....I too was pregnant when we got married. We were married on Valentine's Day and daughter was born June 18th!<BR/><BR/>I did find a wedding dress that fit my pregnant belly, but you can still tell in the pictures. <BR/><BR/>Oh well...no shame.

At that age, I honestly couldn't imagine anything worse happening to me than getting pregnant (my how life changes us). So glad your story had such a happy ending and you were at peace with things as they happened. I think it is a great story to share someday.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Day.Michelle Smileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01423308673171062647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-33461335897498946622008-05-11T11:14:00.002-07:002008-05-11T11:14:00.002-07:00The only thing that will ever matter to all your children is the love that created them.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad following on from that special message from your Mom but this was a wonderful post, Carrie, and I wanted to thank you for writing it.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Dayalice chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-9992693134454525182008-05-11T11:14:00.001-07:002008-05-11T11:14:00.001-07:00The only thing that will ever matter to all your children is the love that created them.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad following on from that special message from your Mom but this was a wonderful post, Carrie, and I wanted to thank you for writing it.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Dayalice chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-76194279414185130682008-05-11T11:14:00.000-07:002008-05-11T11:14:00.000-07:00The only thing that will ever matter to all your children is the love that created them.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad following on from that special message from your Mom but this was a wonderful post, Carrie, and I wanted to thank you for writing it.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Dayalice chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-36269933506230456172008-05-11T11:13:00.000-07:002008-05-11T11:13:00.000-07:00The only thing that will ever matter to all your children is the love that created them.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad following on from that special message from your Mom but this was a wonderful post, Carrie, and I wanted to thank you for writing it.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Dayalice chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-45119963096122211632008-05-11T11:09:00.000-07:002008-05-11T11:09:00.000-07:00It's as much a fairy tale as any other.

We weren't shocked or worried (well, not TOO worried), just ready to support you both. After all, Brett gave me Mother's Day flowers before you were even finished with high school!<BR/><BR/>This morning I thanked your father for "making me a Mother". But YOU are the one who made me feel it for the first time. <BR/><BR/>The best thing is, having you & your brother has always been just that.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Day, indeed.<BR/><BR/>xxxooomomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-40581052074400228882008-05-11T04:08:00.000-07:002008-05-11T04:08:00.000-07:00Great story!

I love how real and honest you are. Truth be told I love the stories like the one you just told over the cookie cutter, blah, "I did everything right and in order" stories. I had a starter marriage to a jackass and then found love the second time around. We all just make our way and hope for a happy ending. YOU got a beautiful ending!!! xo. Happy Day to you tomorrow. :)Ann(ie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00671535020245819924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-77228950555950790392008-05-10T17:15:00.000-07:002008-05-10T17:15:00.000-07:00WOW! I'm telling you... someday when he asks... have him read this post. He will think that his mother was one of the most courageous women there was... and he will love you for it. I think your tale is beautiful... and it's your own fairy tale!! Look at his face... that's your happy ending. Beautiful post.
