Introducing myself: Leanna Rose.

It's two days before my 18th birthday and normal teens my age would be planning a huge party with friends and planning a huge night out but nope, not me. On February 24th, at 10 in the morning, I have to be up and be heading out the door to attend my child birth class followed by my labor and delivery center tour.

Although I don't want my entire blog to be written about being pregnant, I feel like it is the most important thing to my life at the moment. I had seen all the Teen Mom shows and spin offs and always wondered how they did it all. How would they finish school? Is that not important to them? I judged. When I found out I was pregnant at 17 didn't know what I was going to do with my life next. I had just gotten back into the country when I took a pregnancy test and before I could get my pants up, those two lines popped up. In disbelief, I took two more. Both positive. I ended up being two and a half months pregnant and had no idea.

How the hell will I finish school!? My senior year hadn't even started and now I'm pregnant and can't graduate! Well at least that's what I thought, but I ended up working with my super helpful school and we were able to set up a way for me to graduate in half the school years time. It was really hard and really stressful. I had to double up on my math classes and barely passed them but somehow I did what I needed to do. I still get to walk with my class in June I just will have a special guest in the audience watching, my daughter. At that moment, I'll know it was all worth it.

Did ALL teen dads really leave? So far I'm nine months pregnant and her father has been the most help out of everyone in my life. We started dating in August of 2014. I was 15 and he was 17. As 2014 as it sounds, we met on Instagram and then messaged each other on KIK the messaging app. About a week after talking online we planned to meet up at a park for the first time. I snuck around to see him and to make a long story short, it didn't end well and I got grounded. But here we are, this August will make four years of being together, the best time of my life. If anything, since getting pregnant he has stepped up into this amazing father roll. He got us an apartment, he went full time at his job and he emotional helped me in a way no one else could.

My due date is weeks away and I cannot wait to start this parenthood journey. I will slowly start to share more and more about myself and my life lessons I learn.
