16 and Pregnant ------> Teen Mom

Hello all,

So I know that I was 22 when I found out I was pregnant and 23 when I had little Ashden but these shows are so real! I didn't really get into the first round of 16 and pregnant. Actually the very first episode I saw was when Catelynn and Tyler were giving their baby girl up. I was about 6 months pregnant and had decided that I was giving my baby up already. I saw when Catelynn and Tyler were holding their daughter in the hospital and telling each other that this was for the best...I started crying and changed the channel, I didn't want to think about it.

Then give me a few months and after having Ashden and having such an awesome adoption experience and now I am constantly watching Teen Mom, the follow-up to the girls from 16 and Pregnant. Every episode makes me tear up especially when it comes to Catelynn and Tyler just because I do understand what they are feeling and going through...I understand how hard of a decision it is to make and also the feelings of knowing it's best even when it is hard.

These shows are great. I really hope girls watch this and take note! It really isn't easy to be a Mom, especially when you are young and the father doesn't always stay around or when he does it's not just smiles and laughter. It also gives insight to different types of Mom's; the single mom, mom's with a partner; Birthmothers...

Anyway I'm giving everyone a heads up...the new season of 16 and pregnant starts on Tuesday February 16th at 9:00 pm Central time! I really hope that they will also follow up with this group and do another Teen Mom....

I'm going to leave you with that thought and some awesome picture of Ashden's 2nd professional picture session on January 18th...

That Ashden is SUPER cute! Congrats on the new career choice, but what about ASI? Still, I think you'd make a great law enforcer :)

Love you!
