I've had to move my whole bedroom to for this damn crib in. My double size bed is pushed up against the wall, and the crib is pushed onto my bed. There's only enough room to walk to put the baby down in the crib, but that's it.

My dresser has been taken over by diapers and baby clothes. I don't know the gender yet. Its all just gender neutral clothing for now.

The top of my dresser has been taken over by a changing table. I know all of this is nessesary but I kinda still hate it. Like, what if the baby doesn't survive? I just spent all of this money for nothing?

I worry. What if I'm not a good dad? Will people judge me? Like my god, I'm going to be 30 and have a 14 year old. I keep on telling myself I'm going to be okay, but deep down I already want to give up.

I flop onto my bed with a huge sigh. Prepping for a baby is fucking hard, especially when you're 16. I look over at my computer, AOL just dinged.

KatPet23: hey Brendon.. I just wanted to let you know that the baby is doing really well. If you want to know the gender, just let me know, because I found out today.

I quickly get up and reply

UrsterB: I'd love to know. It would make so many things easier.

I sit back. Oh shit, this means it's  closer to me being a dad. Now I'm going to know the gender..

KatPet23: Its going to be a girl

I stare at the screen, almost in disbelief. I'm going to have a daughter. A little girl. I'm going to have to learn how to braid hair and buy dresses. I'm going to worry about guys, or if she's a lesbian I'll have to worry about woman. She's going to be my little princess, I have to pick a good name for her.

I grab a pad of paper and start randomly writing names. None of them sound nice, or roll of the tounge nicely. Then I thought of the name.

Lauren. Laurie for short. Now I need a middle name. What about my moms name.. It would work nice.

Lauren Grace Urie. My little princess. My everything.
