Alrighty.
So, kinda long story...
July 2020 my ex left me. At the time, I wasn't working and I didn't have a vehicle and so when he left it was a 'fend for yourself' deal.
Things were rough...worse than rough. It was the roughest point of my life. I'm ashamed to admit that if I wasn't a coward...
Anyway, I ended up becoming pregnant (not by my ex, I went through a h0e phase) and didn't find out until October.
I was alone and the bio-father wasn't wanting to be a part of our lives. I still didn't have a vehicle or a job, but I was getting money from a few adult website situations...
I wasn't sure if keeping the baby was the best idea for not only me, but for the baby as well...
As I was getting my bag, making that bread, if you will, I met someone on a dating site.
I was upfront with him in the fact that I was (at the time) 4 months pregnant. He was fine with it and we went on a date in December--5 months after my ex cheated and left.
I gave birth to my baby, Theodore "Teddy" Blake on June 8th, 2021. And the man I went on the date with...he's now Teddys dad.
This incredible man and I have been together for 14 months now. We own a home together, we raise Teddy together, and we plan to get married in the very near future.
14 months ago I wasn't even sure if I'd make enough money selling pictures to make rent and feed myself and now I'm waking up to the man of my dreams and a baby I prayed for and I'm not even religious.
I still have every intention of finishing what I started here, I promise. But please understand the strain I've been under in my home life. Things have not been easy.
Teddy is only 8 months, still very young. I work now as well and take care of him when I'm not working and his dad is.
I don't have time to myself, let alone to write like I use to, AT ALL.
I'm sorry I've disappointed you all with my long hiatus. I'm sorry I only have excuses.
Thank you all for everything. Really, I appreciate you. Each of you.
