Today marks the 20th week of my pregnancy which means I'm half way through my pregnancy to say it's been hard is an understatement I've been working 24/7 I've managed to buy a small 1 bedroom apartment downtown it's not much but I've made it home for me and my baby when they arrive into this world, I'm currently getting ready for the scan

I've gotta be ready by 1:30 so I can walk to the clinic because Annie offered to take me but I refused because she's already done a lot for me and baby bean so I declined her offer

I started getting bits for bean I got a crib clothes and stroller which came with a car seat it should last until she's at least 3 so I'm hoping that it does Annie nova and Craig helped me pay for the stroller I've just gotta get bottles ,diapers and wipes  ,a breast pump and blankets and a baby bath as I only have a shower and bath together here but the baby won't be able to use the bath straight away

To say I'm nervous about becoming a mom is an understatement I'm scared shitless I don't know what I'm doing so I hope I'm not gonna be a terrible mom to my child I want to be the best mom I can possibly be

I decided to leave finding out the gender until bean is born I've chose two names with the help of nova Maisie Rae is the girl name and Asher gray for the boys name they are just names that I like

I've just finished getting ready for my appointment I'm finished on time so I grab my bag with my phone and keys in then I lock the door I start walking too the clinic I have a bump now so you can tell that I'm pregnant now I get a lot of stares from everyone I try to push it back but I can always feel eyes on me

I arrive at the clinic and book myself in I sit in the well to known chairs in the waiting room not long after the doctor calls me in I walk in the to the room that I've become very used to now I see doctor Harris who's been my midwife since my very first appointment i don't feel like I'm being judged when I see her

"Hello Layla how are you and baby today" doctor Harris asks me as I sit down on the hospital bed where she does the scan
"We're okay thank you" I say
"Okay that's good you know the drill now" she asks as I nod while pulling up my shirt a little not long after I feel the cold gel on my abdomen she moves the wand around my stomach I hear the familiar sound of my baby's heart rate from the monitor I look at the screen and see my baby I smile "is baby okay?"  I ask

"Yeah baby is perfectly healthy it's developing nicely I'll print of your pictures now is it two again?" She ask as I nod
Not long shes gone to get my photos I wipe the gel of my stomach and sit down on the chair as soon as I've sat down dr Harris tells me my due date which is July 1st
Then we say our good byes and I start walking to work because I've got another double shift I text nova to let her know how I got on then I arrive at the florist I work at for my shift which is at 2:30 till 4:30 then I'll walk to my other job which is at a super market from 5 till 8 after I finish work I walk back to my apartment I shower and have some food then brush my teeth and head to bed

I know it's not the best routine for a pregnant woman but it's the best I can do I mean I'm a 17 year old pregnant girl who's nervous and scared but is trying to get by on her own

I'm just hoping I'll be the best mother I can be to baby bean my child deserves the world and I hope I can give him or her that
