I havn't really kept anyone here up to date as to what's going on so here it goes.

My mother's finally okay with the fact that i'm having a baby. Not 100% but enough to the point that she's accepted the fact that I didn't get an abortion and that i'm not putting my baby up for adoption.

My boyfriend and I moved into a townhouse with one of his friends just for 1 full year lease term to help keep finances in order with a new baby and then we'll be looking for our own place next July.

Aidan's mother just moved in with us this month and is staying with us from now until I have the baby to help out with everything and anything we may need help with.

I'm due in October... Originally it was the 10th but now they're saying the 18th. I'm having a little girl and we've decided to name her Chloe Ann Marie.

Everything is working out finally which is good because I don't have to much time left now.

The only problem is the debate of the last name. Originally I wanted to give her Aidan's last name but a lot of people are telling me that because we're not married that I shouldn't. So I guess we're going to go sit down with a lawyer and see what they say about it. We don't plan on getting married but we want to stay together and make things work as long as we can. So who knows.

Last but not least here are some ultrasound pictures. They're in order from oldest to most recent so everyone can see how much Chloe's grown :]

I'm in the same situation with the last name and Aaron. I decided to go with mylast name because of my mom. She had her father's last name and when her mother got divorced and remarried, they didn't change it right away. Kids used to make fun of her and ask her why her last name was different than her mothers. Then she got legally adopted and her last name changed to her mom and step dad's name.

Congrats though and I'm glad everything is working out so well =D

Thanks

The only down side is without Aidan's last name he wont be on the birth certificate. We were told that if he signs it then the baby automatically takes on his last name... And without him on the certificate then if for some reason things don't work out I can't really do anything for child support.

Really? That is so odd, it's not like that here.

I mean, my dad's name isn't on my birth certificate either but my mom was able to claim child support even so.

Double check, just to make sure. Hospitals don't always know everything but the city/county should.

Uh, that's not true.
Not in ANY state I know of.

There's women who aren't in ANY relationship with the father, but they'll put his name on there so they can claim child support, but their child has their last name.

The name, in EVERY aspect, is up to you.

You could even give him a hyphenated last name, if both of your names would work okay that way, for legal purposes.
And then, in casual things, he can actually write whatever name he prefers.

My friend's last name is Partridge-Glasscock. She uses either, or both, and on almost all forms, that's fine to do.

I've already figured out that I was fed a load of crap about the name. It was just his mothers way of trying to manipulate me into giving Chloe her son's last name because that's what he wants. :[

I am 2 and a half months pregnant and my due date is the 30th of march.
Im only 17 and my partner is 23. My Mum hates it and so does my Dad but his parents dont mind at all their happy if anything. I was gonna make the baby have my second name but i changed my mind cause my partner and I are engaged so not much point really. I havent had my first scan yet. But i am really excited!!

My boyfriends mother was super excited, my mom and dad were really angry and disappointed in me *shrugs* Your parents will eventually get over it, and if they don't then that's there loss, ya know? I wish you the best of luck! I can't handle being pregnant at 19, let alone had it happened at 17. I mean i'm excited and happy, but I feel as if I let everyone down as well as myself. When you get your first ultrasound is when it will really hit ya... It is rather amazing.

3nodding We're supposed to talk to a lawyer about it and see what they suggest. I honestly just want to make my boyfriend happy... I don't care what that means for me. I love him a lot he's done so much for me and even though we don't get along super well he's still willing to try and that's what makes me care for him even more.

I wouldn't dare tell him that though... We don't share our feelings.
