Well Beck…I dont know exactly what to say…I have seen young people have children and it has really centered them and other instances where it has ended up in total disaster for them and their child.
I hope it works out for the best for your, the mother, and obviously the child.
However I must ask is the mother going to be down with you having all shared visitation or is she the type to just want a check and bounce you out of the life? Because court and visitation as well as custody battles are terrible for everyone involved and quite costly. Make sure you are level headed and prepared for the financial and emotional responsibility. Its very easy to say 9mos away how great tihngs will be but alot can change and the mother will change drastically with hormones and that whole thing. So I wish you all the luck and hopefully it goes as wonderful as possible for you.
