Hey guys, how is everyone doing? I haven't been active at all lately, but I still keep tabs on the community. This is the best community I have ever been apart of and I have made many great friends here!
I just thought I might update everyone on my life, although I'm sure nobody cares . I graduated high school in May and I got a job as a pizza delivery driver that was offered to me by my brother-in-law. I had used my dad's car for the first pay period and I put my tips and wages towards used car with my parents loaning me the remainder. I am attending school at a local community college that I have received free tuition for 2 years. I just got awarded financial aid which is about $5,700 in total and much of the money (other than books) will be discretionary. This is going to go towards the small amount of credit card debt I have as well as to my parents for the car.
Shortly before I got this job however, I had discovered that my girlfriend of ~2.5 years is pregnant. We were told that the gender was female with 99% probability from her OB as well as Peek-a-Baby (a gender reveal/3(4)D ultrasound place). We have been collecting and buying stuff for a girl this whole time she has been pregnant and her due date is the day before Halloween (Oct 30). That's this month, yep! But we had an appointment earlier today (6th) with her OB and he did an ultrasound (which he had not done for many of the past months) and told us that my girlfriend was carrying a baby boy! Now, he usually fucks around with us so I did not believe him initially even after seeing the screen. But he did assure us that it was indeed a boy. She is currently 36 or 37 weeks I believe..I took it back to Peek-a-Baby and they agreed to do a 2nd peek at no charge. I then received 3D picture printouts of my son's balls. Yep, I did. That'll be something to show him, eh? Anyways, long story short: I need to exchange gifts from the baby shower and my own purchases and get all new baby stuff by the time she goes into labor. This is gonna be hard! In addition, about 3 weeks ago, I have just moved into my own apartment with my girlfriend. I am very excited but also recognize that it is going to be very rough having a baby and going to school at the same time. Adventure awaits!
