I just got online a few minutes ago, and my cell is down here too, because I forgot to take it upstairs lastnight when I went to bed. Out of habit, I checked it to see if I have any missed calls or text messages...and I have 1 missed text. It is from one of my best friends, Nicole. And as you can probably tell from the title of this blog, you can guess what she told me. At first I was excited, then it all went to shock and me feeling bad for her. Here's my story.
All through grade school to high school, I put myself in the group of people that weren't really popular with the rest of the crowd, and never really truly fit into any of the other groups or "clicks" they were in. I, myself, being in a wheelchair, and being sort of embarrassed about that, voluntarily put myself with these people, which of course, included Nicole. I mostly hung around with Holly, Angela, Erica, and Nicole. Erica moved ot Florida in freshman year of high school, but, is now living in South Carolina with her son Xavier and husband James. Xavier was born before they were married. She had him when she was just about to turn 20. Angela, has two young children, and as far as I know, still isn't married to the father. Holly has had a few boyfriends here and there, but doesn't have/doesn't want to have children. I never expected this news to come from Nicole. But, now that I think about it, she was always the shyest one in the group, claimed to have a boyfriend here and there, but it never lasted more than a month. But now for her to tell me that she's pregnant....that's a complete shocker. She told me that she found out last month and is due in August. Her parents are going to help her out with as much as they can, or so she told me. The father doesn't know yet, but he apparently told her that he wants to talk to her about something. Oh geez!!! I hope he is planning to stick around. Like I said before, at first I was excited, then shock set in, then me feeling bad for her. Another thing about her was/is that she has very low self-esteem. I think it was because she always used to be made fun of in school, doesn't have the best home life. Her dad is a trucker, so I assume she doesn't get to see him very often, and the first time I met her mother, she didn't even say hello or look at me, because she was too busy yelling at Nicole for not calling her and telling her that she needed picked up after school, because her and I were doing some activities for the upcoming Special Olympics event at our high school. Well, anyway, I need to make her something now, or buy her something. I am not sure if she's going to find out what she's having or not. So, if I make blankets, I'm gonna make an all-pink one, and then one that is all blue. She told me she is going to let me know when the baby shower is. If I don't make her something, I'll at least send her a card. Okay, now that I am thinking about this more, I'm getting very excited. *shrieks!* I gotta get started on a blanket! More blogging later!!!
